  1. Hi Guys,

    Everyone enjoyed the No Down State events, so we at Anet have decided to push the boundaries and introduce our new WvW no gliding event. I'm sure everyone will have alot of fun with this new event. We plan to do this event every three months in hopes that you will be distracted and give us another 5 years to work on Alliances. Anet understands that WvW is a major part of our success and will continue to work very hard to continually evolve WvW.

Usually i ignore them but after the lay offs things got little bit more pushy with the "Macro" transactions and the design of some content like the Skyscale unlock(bland, boring and unimaginative for the most part like most mobile game practices) and now with build templates (looks like copy of a mobile game feature the only part missing is charging for changing builds, don't get any kitten ideas from that). I don't think GW2 could survive a mobile game flop for pushing too hard. In the mobile space you can always reskin, recycle and reuse a flop into something "new" and it can be churned out quicker, not so much in the PC. Even in the mobile space you don't push way too hard on your crown jewel game that is in the public eye.Now that MO is out and Chris Corry will oversee NCSOFT west and from what i read his experience is in the mobile space from Kabam, that puts some doubt in the future of the game.

    Sad fact is mobile gaming makes so much more money then PC games and Console games combined.That being said, You can see why they are are moving in that direction.

    @"chad.8701" said:Really would be nice if they disabled the reward track or at least gave a warning message saying the end of track chest was disabled.Just curious if anyone has tried to open a ticket, requested they exchange the chest of another rewards track end chest?

    They did:

    They have only disabled your ability to open the dragonfall cache.You are still able to select the reward track and get the dragonfall cache.It's only when you try to open the dragonfall cache that you receive the following message."That content has been temporarily disabled. Please try again later."

  4. Unless I missed an announcement saying they are definitely releasing a balance patch, I would temper your expectations.Key words being "Potential Future" balance changes.When Anet uses terms like "We've been thinking about" or We've been talking about" it normally means they are just speculating about future changes.If and when the changes take affect it could be months or years in the future.

    @Stand The Wall.6987 said:it does take into account coverage at least. since they're moving around single players, guilds, and alliances, they can more accurately solve the coverage problem. thing is anyone can transfer anywhere at anytime and band wagon.

    Raymond has stated that Alliances 1.0 will not take time zones aka coverage into account. Maybe 2.0 in another 3 years will?

    link to that, please perhaps maybe? :D

    I can't find it but he or McKenna did state that. The response was: 'well how the heck does this fix anything then?'I wonder if Raymond or McKenna are still around?Raymond is still around (not sure if he is actively working on competitive game mode), but McKenna was let go during the layoffs.
