  1. "If they build it... they will come."Gw2 did always have this niche experimental energy to it so while it's fun I don't think they bring in that much revenue. The leadership and devs always kinda seem like they're doing content on their own schedules and in their own way and its not a tightly ran ship. That can be a good and bad thing; good because the moral is chill and they are creatively experimenting under less pressure and bad because pressure makes diamonds and we could have had 5 expansions out by now and many more things probably. We also need more QOL updates so maybe with the steam release we will get more people.
  2. I don't think "abandoning" is the right term since it has such a negative connotation- like their actively fleeing it. They are able to see all the metrics behind what everyone is doing and what we are participating in. I have to assume they jump from content bundle to content bundle to try new things and keep the game fresh while weighing the pros and cons of not very popular content. I suspect we are done with raids. We might be done with Strike Missions too. I suspect we will get up to 25 fractals to fit in the 25 tierd levels (so 4 more) and that will be that at least in this iteration. As a game studio I think they have to constantly try to innovate within the bounds of their budget, time and technology.
  3. They did say the proceeds go to Extra Life so i think its irrelevant where the gems or gold came from as long as you buy the items with gems ;)
  4. 37 days later and its still not fixed. That's unfortunate. Also, locking the new abyssal fractal skins and the true story behind a CM (the only fractal to do that) is just as bad.
  5. I think they like the factions less analogous. That way they can have them appear bigger then what justified content would allow. If you just take what we see; the crystal bloom in EOTN and dragon fall you might think um thats it? No base? No leader? You gota factor in that their faction isn't over or dead they are just OUT there doing their jobs and when story permits they will return. Its not always wise to have huge epic arcs and stories with factions unless you intend to possibly end them and then you lose any future potential with that faction. Its less commitment and more potential for future uses.
  6. 36 days later and still no fix? Kind of undermines efforts to have new content if you don't prioritize fixing it so WE the consumer can enjoy it.
  7. Nerf Renegade energy management and Holosmith Flashbang Release an expansion with new specs Add back in amulets/sigils/runes so we can get some diversity in build structure again Run 1v1 season inside of 2v2 arenas, first to 3 wins, build swaps during each round work same as 2v2 and 3v3 Once again those are balance changes- they would need new modes i assume to draw people back to then be motivated enough to do even more balance changes.
  8. lol, you could describe anything like this.I dont see how people can just keep killing the same AI bot, again and again meeeh.you are cycling? I dont get it, I dont understand how you can just cycle around and around same roads all the time, meeh.you are swimming? I dont get it, just swiming from one end to the other for hours on end, how pointless meh. There is still more variety and potential in PVE in my conspiracy theory opinion allegedly. Ofc there is, PVE is constantly developed, while pvp lays dead for years, if pvp was developed equally it would have more replayability but its water under the bridge now.Battle Royale!!!! Because we know how THAT ends up lol. But let me not be facetious- what else could they do in PVP that would magically make you love the game for years to come?

  10. Maybe the "future features" bit is going to release in between Chapters 1 and 2? They said the Chapters will become more fleshed out with new stuff in-between main releases. A defense mechanism as pessimism lightens the blow from disappointment and its usually a go-to for reactions, unfortunately. We shall see what becomes of this content!
  11. That is unfortunate because the lore is just WAITING to be addressed.... vigil? kodan? Laranthir? Taimi still dying? Pale Tree on the floor? Glint? Mist wardens? Charr? Ill take walls of text at this point...
  12. Is there a consensus about in-game time being about the same as IRL or is it different per update? Has it literally been months or only a few days/hourssince the Ice Citadel fell?... Even though it took many weeks between Bangar talking was that the same amount of time too or a shorter intervel? If this has all occured within a few days or weeks then it makes sense that some lore related events are taking place I guess as we speak and we will find out during Champions?
  13. Critique but don't shame. Covid-19 plus them losing their Game Director plus all the layoffs plus all the scrapped content has done a number on the studio so factor ALL of that in before you come for them.
  14. As much as people complain about PVP and WVW I don't see a lot of longevity in just killing your fellow Tyrian. Just meh. Stand on a location and kill fellow Tyrian again....weeeeeee..... I have no doubt we got a WvW pve map and we will probly get a openish pvp-pve map.
  15. Jormag is just manipulating us to take care of all the heavy work with Primordus while it digs its icy talons in around Tyria. That has to be the lil twist...like when Joko told us we inadvertently were actually the bad guys (from thoughtlessly killing elder dragons).
  16. How much salad would a salad toss if a salad could toss salad?
  17. THAT'S IT! Thankyou, its too bad its not updated recently but great find!
  18. Seen that but I guess the thing I saw was made on some sort of spreadsheet and posted on the etherweb. Ah well. I just hope people remember some of the QOL updates we received even just this year.
  19. Yes, the ones released so far. I remember seeing a site or document that summarized the major QOL updates. It was very colorful but can't find it ATM. I think its very important to be mindful of how far we've come.
  20. I could have sworn I've seen SOMETHING in the past that had a huge list of all the major updates/features for QOL this game has received? Is anybody aware of such a list? Link!
  21. IMO its an overall lack of vision about what to do exactly with the IP and game service. They tried to do raids to attract that more hardcore audience but that wasn't the majority hence they figured they would "try" to get us to do them from motivational Strike Mission content which is kind of shaky logic and I think they realize this. They don't have a game director rn and I really think they would operate more optimally with one steering the ship. Leadership is everything in a business. Its also the number one reason employees quit or a business falters.
