Arenanet have been saying things on the forums.

I know many people don't actually visit the forums (I honestly don't blame you), so these may have gone over your heads.

• Mouse smoothing is broken, they're working on camera issues such as that one.

• We will be getting more dungeon tokens, no amount is said right now.
• Dungeon tokens will be account bound.

• Death shroud is getting altered.
• They want to increase build diversity.

• Before the release more info about "serious competition" they want to fix tournament bugs.
• Ladders, ranking and custom tournies are coming.

• They don't want graveyard zerg in dungeons.
• They plan on balancing bosses and adding more attack patterns to bosses with very few,
• Rewards getting tweaked in dungeons.
• They aren't planning on nerfing dungeons because some babies think they're too hard.

• We're getting free content updates, with some stuff in the cash shop too.

• No LFG system coming, one exists but they admit it's pretty bad, will be fixing it.

• Better rewards potentially coming on monday.

The complaining never ends.

Fanboyism?

You complain they aren't doing enough, so I give source, then you complain they shouldn't do stuff?

It will never be completely ready, but Arenanet did put a large emphasis on "when it is ready" compared to other companies, which is why I expected them to deliver a far more "ready" service than other companies. Unfortunely, they didn't live up to my expectations in that regard.

Nonetheless, it is good that they are communicating plans for the future and I will be looking forward to the implementation of a ladder ranking. I hope though it won't take over 3 months to get it in.

The majority of the mmo-industry confirmed that Guild Wars 2 was more ready, during the betas, than many other '' released mmos '' out there. The main problem with Guild Wars 2 was the load on the servers, that caused many issues, otherwise, the game was kinda great, and to be honest ... one of the games with the most ready content via launch ( Though I don´t meant, that the game had had a good launch, because this is not the case, with all the connection problems that resumed for days ).

good post Op and sources are always helpful

We know that the dungeon rewards aren't where they need to be, and we're going to work on it until we are happy with how it feels. Monday's patch will be the start of our efforts to correct the problem.

"They aren't planning on nerfing dungeons because some babies think they're too hard."

Thats great! But I hope they do tweak the other bosses then. Cause that one boss in the level 30 dungeon is so much harder than any boss in the level 70 and 80 dungeons, and my friends and I 3 manned those dungeons. :P

Thanks, I forgot this guy's name.

Added some things from him.

Blizzard also put a big emphasis on "when it's ready" for WoW, and we all know the problems they had at release.

It's the same here. The beta week ends were actually pretty smooth, none of the major problems they had at launch appeared. The reason for this is the same than the one for WoW's problems... MASSIVE success and massive player influx.

You're obviously new to mmos or you wouldn't have said something so silly.

He's not just obviously new to MMOs, he's obviously new to software in general.

I've never installed a program in the last 5 years that hasn't had some sort of update or patch...

No. When have I ever complain they "are not doing enough"-

The person you said was "complaining" (remember..The complaining never ends) wasnt complaining but making a statement (one I agree with BTW)

Calling someone a complainer for making such a statement is akin to calling them a "whner", a "qqer" etc. which is a fanboy attack tactic.

Yeah lol.  I was going to mention that, but I thought it would be too much.

"They aren't planning on nerfing dungeons because some babies think they're too hard."

Take any MMO out there, grab a random dungeon, delete the role of the tank, and it will be hard. This is just a failed design. Bosses with huge dmg output but no class which could survive a hit.

About death shroud, my Necromancer is tank spec and death shroud is a godsend, I've survived ganks in pvp and large mobs in pve, combine death shroud with the jump+dodge trick to kite/escape, and you're unstoppable. The only thing that bugs me is the weird UI in death shroud since you can't see your conditions and boons and so forth.

The condition/boon thing was a part of the post.

I don't understand what's so silly about that. He's only paraphrasing what ArenaNet said with "When it's ready"

You mean like every single other MMO out there to date? Oh wait....

Really?  They should have had balance issues worked out before launch?  Name me your mmo and tell me if they have all their balance issues worked out.  Complaining that balance issues and tweaks should have been worked out is silly.

People said the same stupid shit about TRION, complaining they should have had all these systems worked out before launch.  But that's not realistic is it.  What has made TRION shine as a developer and one of ANets strengths is that they do patch and update the game.

Really how stupid is it when someone presents an improvement plan and the response is, well you should have done it sooner.  We need a lot less of that sort of negative attitude to positive effort.  Calling a douche out when they spew bullshit isn't a fanboy move.
