Piecemeal Prepared statements on al the current big issues that aren't even Colin's department.... Followed by a big 4 paragraph mini-novel on the last question. Not sure what to make of that.
I guess the effort of being honest with us is all that matters right? But I'd point out that if they want to retain TRUST, then they need to tell their official Moderators to back the hell off a bit so people can actually have some honest debate there. I don't use their official b/c I'm afraid to, I've seen too many complaints about them already. It's the whole reason I stopped posting here too... Too many mods these days don't understand their own jobs. Their jobs are to "Make Room" for substance & discussion by sweeping away direct Ad-Hominems and Spam, not just silence anything that could potentially become major disagreements by labeling every cynical view as "Trolling". That lack of trust only gets cemented every time they handle it that way when a little bit of respect was all that was needed to turn the whole situation aruond. |

They nerfed ranger in the last patch and straight up lied about it. They said they increased the casting time on SB's 1 skill by 4 ms in order to address an animation glitch. When players complained the response from ANet was "yeah it was to fix the animation glitch AND oh yeah we were tired of SB rangers spamming 1 and their DPS is now 7% lower." They took the weakest PvP class in the game and made them even weaker. The reason SB rangers even spam 1 is because A) It's the freaking equivalent of autoattack and B) it's the only reliable source of dmg on the weapon. The other four skills are entirely situational, involve control, and do less damage than 1. At the same time Quickening Zephyr + SB is entirely bugged out from the fix creating a roughly 25% decrease in DPS while under the effect of Quickness while using the SB. Not to mention that Ranger ability to stack bleeds is also nerfed into the ground. At this point every class can do anything the Ranger can do, but better. Just to give you where my perspective is coming from I have 80 Ranger, 80 Thief, 25 Ele, 21 Guardian, and a 10 Mes. Long story short, I'm fine with the nerf. I'm not fine with the fact that they nerfed the SB and lied and said it was in order to fix an animation glitch then came back and said "oh yeah we wanted to nerf the SB too." If you want to "strengthen your bond with your playerbase," lying or even simply omitting the truth is probably not the best way to go about it. Twitter: @Nephaerius |

If you want the mememe service then go to a lower pop server and stop bitching about how things aren't go your way. People need to get overthemselves, just like those who expect immideate and experdited service with customer service..... take a number and wait your turn. |

I love the game soooo much more than i thought I would in the long term. I cant wait to see wha they do in the future, Im really excited to see new additions to the gem store and glad to see PvE content is just as important as everything else.

Originally posted by Tayah Warriors also have some of the best ranged DPS in the game. I've killed so many rangers/elementalists that were just trying to kite me... it's pretty funny. The only things that give me a problem are ret guardians, mesmers, and occasionally thieves. Warriors are pretty OP. I wreck people in WvW, and I'm not a particularly good player. |

Originally posted by blognorg Agree. Got my ass kicked repeatedly in WvW on some other classes, especially Ranger, and especially vs multiple enemies. Then I hop on my Warrior with 90% crit and a mix of rifle / greatsword spec, run into a group of 3 enemies by myself, 1st one is about to drop dead before they get into melee range, then finished off the other 2 with my greatsword in a few seconds. Walked away and proceeded to solo some supply camps nearby. I really feel Rangers have it the worst atm when it comes to overall balance in PvP compared to other classes. Theyre much too situational, and without those perfect conditions, you might as well not even be there. |

Originally posted by kaiser3282 I used to be specced as crit, but I switched to toughness. That's mainly what allows me to outlast most other classes in a ranged battle, not to mentioned that it's much stronger vs other warriors (since most of them are crit builds). If I actually get caught in the charge-hundred blade thing, it usually only takes about 30-40% of my health and I can still win the fight. I also have 30 points into defense. It's tempting to be a glasses cannon (and it works for most situations), but I found more defense to be the key to most of my victories. Like I said, I'm not the best player in the world, so that could be part of it. I've never been able to pull off a 3 v 1 scenario. I've been able to kill one, then scape with my life, but that's about as far as my bragging rights go. |

If open world pvp and duels (for who ever choses to do so) in pve areas game would be perfect. Forcing all ppl who want to pvp into www or spvp is just wrong. All my friends from guild left and I stopped playing too since I feel bored and since I felt like forcing myself to play. Too bad. Couldev been better game.

"Colin Johanson: Many people have asked, “Didn’t you have a mobile app in development? Where is it?” the only answer to that I can give is we have grander ideas than what our original scope entailed. We’ve got some really big plans in this area, but until they are finalized and we know we can pull them off for sure, we’re not quite ready to talk about it. We’ll have a not yet revealed team that discusses this in more detail as we get closer to the end of the year." the only thing they disappointed me with. :( |

I love this game, eagerly looking forward to the big update. Can't wait to see what awesome halloween themed cosmetics they add.

I am most excited about adding events. "I hope they feel like the promise of dynamic events expands even further, so the world truly feels like you can experience something unique or new around every corner every time you login." I hope this comes to reality. |

A lot of words for a company that so far managed to go from having a positive and supportive community, to a very negative one, all in just a few weeks post launch.
They haven't really resolved many of the problems. Each patch includes more bugs, and critical issues take them weeks to fix. Something I'd expect from a small indie team, not from a 200+ man team.
Add on top of that, close to no communication regarding issues, and a forum environment that honestly makes me want to stop participating in, where moderators are deleting posts and infracting accounts in almost every thread for the same weird reason 'posting off-topic', supposedly collecting enough infractions risks your game account, but they refuse to comment on it directly. I personally got infracted for indirectly mentioning the existence of another game, in a thread created by someone else comparing other games to GW2 (many people's posts got deleted, not just mine). I also got infracted for makng 2 completely normal posts where I was discussing a subject with two other people, who also got their posts deleted and infracted for 'posting off-topic'.
The company's high-horse attitude and community handling sits poorly with me. And all these blog posts and interviews are just fancy PR words. Show your playerbase actual changes to the game and the way you handle them. |

"certain builds of that profession might be a little bit imba." Cut of sentance there. The fact they are going to increase staff working on the title is good, but a "commerce team" that wants to expand items in the store? That bodes ill. |

Despite some gripes here and there, GW2 definitely has one of the best launch foundations for an MMO that I've seen in many many years. I'm truly excited to see where this game goes several years down the road.
