Originally posted by Requiem1066 If I remember correcly I read in a ANET communication that forums are coming they did not put them in with Launch because they want all their resources going to making sure the game servers can support as much load as possible and not having to worry about Forum bandwidth load. So unless I misread it the forums are coming as soon as server loads stabilize. |

Here: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum They just opened up the dev and support section of the forums. Now you can go to their official forums for updates. It's been 2 weeks, I think they are doing a pretty good job at shoring up any launch issues on a consistent basis.  |

Originally posted by Requiem1066 Did you create your account just to hack on GW2? They have said why they turned the forums off. We all know why and I accept their reasoning. But then again I am not here to just hack on this game post after post after post. |

Originally posted by Torvaldr Because 3rd party social media sites are not professional means of communication, and you shouldn't expect your costumers to use myspace, twitter, facebook, or whatever the current fad that teenage american girls are flocking to is.
If they can make a bazillion twitter comments each day, and post pictures on Facebook, then they can create a simple HTML page with up-to-date information and link it from the launcher. It's not that hard, heck, use the Wiki and link it if you have to. At this point even a link to forum announcements will do. |

Originally posted by Torvaldr First of all I don't have a twitter account, I have no desire to, and I never will have one. Facebook and twitter are not professional. They are fine if you want to use it for marketing and such, but as a central hub to communicate buisiness related material... these are not the places. One thing Diablo 3 did right (if anything) is their forums. They have constant feedback and information for the community all in one place. Posting on GW2's facebook wall about an issue I have with the game is not the same as creating a thread on a forum. Not to mention the cap on those posts. These social media sites are just not professional or made to replace a game's official forum. Didn't think this was that hard of a concept to grasp. |

Originally posted by Requiem1066 Who decided this? What authority were they given to decide this? I'm sorry but I disagree. Of all the games I played I rarely visited the forums except to check patch notes and only because that was the only place the full patch notes were. |

Originally posted by Jason1989 Arenanet has communicated more than any other company that I have ever followed. If you refuse to listen to their communication channels, that's your own fault. If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

Originally posted by Jason1989 Well it's obvious you don't have a Facebook or Twitter otherwise you would know that pretty much every company is using it for the same reasons ANet is using it. You people act like ANet is the first or something... |

Originally posted by stratasaurus I am simply creating a discussion on what I think one of the game's faults is. Why post something like that if you have nothing constructive to say? I am not on here saying GW2 sucks and you shouldn't buy it... just pointing something out. Maybe you should get over the fact that people will have things to say about this game that aren't always positive. This forum is here to discuss various aspects of the game and if you can't handle those discussions then get off here. |

Originally posted by Krytycal A couple of things.
1. Those are not fads used by teenage girls, if you think thats all they are you are out of touch and that explains why you think it is so unprofessional to use them.
2. There is a link on the launcher. It amazes me how few people seem to know what they are complaining about, but damn they love to complain. |

The website links to the wiki page for info. As long as the homepage is directing you to the correct place to check updates, I don't see a problem there. Forums are another issue entirely. In the past I've played games that refuse to provide official forums due to the amount of effort it requires to the maintain, and the implied responsibility on the dev staff to answer player concerns. Some developers don't want players to expect that kind of access, and the simple answer is just not to have forums. Fan forums suffice in most cases.

Originally posted by Jason1989 I love when people complain about their right to complain by telling other people not to discuss it. You pointed something out and the poster you quoted was pointing out a very IMPORTANT fact to the people bitching, you can read the twitter update WITHOUT having a twitter account. Since part of your OP was whining about that, his pointing that out should have been good for you. But because his point takes away from your whine you claim he cant handle your OP. Clearly you cant handle facts and reasoning.

Originally posted by Rokurgepta Oh sorry .. YOU accept it so it must be right and everyone else wrong ? .. Seriously forums are the first thing that any game company get's working before they even have beta's . and the " if you don't fawn over the game you must hate it " arguement is old and childish . I paid the same amount of money as you did for the game so i have every right to voice my opinion whether you like it or not. Doesn't mean my opinion is right anymore than your opinion makes you right .. I'm not sure what's worse .. blind haters or blind fanbois averse to any critisism of their baby

Originally posted by Jason1989 After you put in your name and password but before you click the PLAY button the launcher lists the state of the game link. Click it and it tells you the recent things going on. My launcher has it your will too. Unless you have the auto play button clicked all the time then maybe it bypasses so make sure you have to click play and you should get the same thing I get. |

You know I just thought of an anology for this. Some of you might agree and some might not. Granted this anology only portrains to the US. Wouldn't this be similar to complaining about the Presidential Candidates giving their speeches on TV rather then posting them in the Newspaper? While sure Forums aren't going the way of the newspaper it still takes a bit more effort to look in the newspaper then it would to just turn on the TV just like it would take a little more effort to browse to a forum topic then it would to just open up the Facebook/Twitter app on your phone or something.
