Um.... if its right off in the open, what would laziness have to do with anything? It would be right there to see. My point is it is NOT out in the open. The closest thing to updates is the left bit but much of that is just articles which is mostly propaganda stuff (Which is fine, games are alowd to do that). Most recent patch I did today and no news story about that at all.

Click "state of the game update" thing, even though it doesnt appear to be updated it does everyday theres a patch.

People are calling you lazy  because most have figured  it out.

Completely false.

Almost every class can build defensively and still pump out decent damage, I roll defensively built Guardian's with a shout based defensive Warrior build every day. They cannot out-attrition my build.

Guardian is highly overrated, mostly due to the staying power of a defensive build against someone running an offensive build, which applies to all classes as a whole.

Top tourney teams are running with support thieves, because of the amazing utility they can bring to the table and there ability to bunker down a point almost indefinitely if played well.

Mesmers and Necros can both build defensively and remain amazingly offensive at the same time, Necro more so than Mes if the Necro knows his stuff.

I definitely have to disagree and chalk that statement up to inexperience.

 

 

 

I play in tourneys too buddy. The premades are starting to bring two guardians to one point and cause all sorts of havok agaisnt more folks. Yes, they aren't OP to the point of you can't kill them. I believe they are too good at dishin out damage when speced defensively than most other classes.

And a valid criticism, but does this mean Guardians are too good, or the other clases are too suck?

Yeah it was pretty often back when it first released. People were saying the exact same thing you are now. It's nothing new and it'll stop eventually.

... how was it pretty insulting?

They think responsible MMORPG companies give lots of content for free.

I'm assuming they mean free as in 'without charging an additional fee for said content', as that would be the most logical way to read it (Otherwise, GW2 wouldn't be giving 'free' content, since you have to buy the game in the first place)

Lots of MMO game companies give free content updates (As opposed to an expansion).

They're all responsible.

What's wrong with that?

After MoP is released, I bet they will.. :)

it's the same pattern anytime a new MMO is released, for about a week before release, and few weeks after, the site reports about every little thing about the game as news or articles, people complain in forums about how the everything on the site is about game X, repeat for any major new release.

What can men do against such reckless hate?

Try this - it is on the front page of WIKI it is called PATCH NOTES - http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_status_updates

Holy crap! Are you really comparing the launch of an expansion to a small patch that is mostly bug fixes? Really?!

Sit down and wait for it....        Holy crap! Yes.

When MoP releases we'll see and read all about little patch notes and updates and balancing tweaks.  This will happen for a several weeks after the xpac until the buzz dies down and the hype monster grabs attention and people start making predictions about upcoming releases like they're the only games ever made.

So, question: Has Ghostcrawler said anything interesting in the last couple of weeks?  Anything even remotely interesting?

No, he's comparing the launch of an expansion to the launch of a game, and the fact that I bet that after MoP is launched, and mmorpg.com talks about nothing but it for a few weeks afterwards, if ghostcrawler announces a small patch that's mostly bug fixes it will also be reported as news.

Man if you can't HONESTLY see the patch notes on the login screen, top left, then I don't know how anyone here can help you.

Blizzard just had a Developer Q&A, it was really long and they answered dozens of questions.


Why didnt that get posted as "news" here by the MMORPG.com staff?


WoW also had a minor patch a few days ago. It was mostly just bug fixes and balance adjustments.

Because MoP hasn't been released yet and won't be released for over a week. I bet blizzard news will start ramping up the few days before MoP is released, and stay in the spotlight for a few weeks afterwards... :)

Oh, I see, so its only AFTER Mists of Pandaria is released that all of the small patches will be detailed as "news".


So, this "gotta report on every little thing" only lasts a few weeks?


GW2 launched 3 weeks ago.

Exactly... that's how news work. Right now GW2 was just released so it is the big news, and anything about it will be reported, once MoP releases, GW2 will fade back a little and MoP will be the big news and again, anything about it will be reported as news.

Happens all the time, just look at the media frenzy with the canibal attack in Florida sometime ago... it was the only thing that all news talked about for a while, and suddenly every little bit of information even remotely related started to appear in first pages and on featured stories, even things that in other times wouldn't have been considered newsworthy, while other things maybe just as or even more important were relegated to secondary status or not even reported at all. It's how all news media work, there's one item that's the big news and every little thing about it is reported because it's expected to be what people want to hear about. Companies (like Anet) knows it and they're just doing their best to keep their products in the spotlight for as long as they can.

BTW, My guess is that you'll start seeing a ramp up on MoP and Blizzard related items next week (though GW2 is still recently released and the review is due to come soon, so it'll still be on the news) with an almost all blizzard related news after release on the 25th.

Succesful media instruments will focus their news on whatever is generating the most buzz. Thanks to everyone talking about GW2 and reading its news even if you hate the game (or hate it because some people love it too much), it generates enough attention (aka traffic and revenue) to keep small news like this important enough to be reported as a news post.
