Dear Devs, Please Read


Recommended Posts

This post is more so for the devs rather than to start any sort of open discussion but, I just needed to say this. 

I am absolutely LOVING this game. TL;DR you are all doing an amazing job and I just needed to say it. For a bit of context, its taken several attempts for this game to truly grab my attention. I've owned it since it was a buy to play title, but never made it very far. I kept on buying the Expansions, up through End of Dragons,  even though I had never even gotten beyond the base game MSQ. I'd log in atl east once a year, play a couple days, and never come back. 

I'm a long time MMO player, played many many games and I haven't had this much fun exploring a world/game since probably my first real serious MMO which was Star Wars: The Old Republic. But a couple weeks ago I logged into GW2 because I was sick of what I was playing (WoW and ESO) Dragonflight is over, and ESO hasn't been good for several years now. I was expecting to just spend some time in GW2 before I eventually got bored after a few days and move onto something else. But something clicked. Maybe I was just a more focused player, and I dug a little deeper into how the game worked? Maybe you guys updated something and everything just fell into place for me? I was so sick of the BS that other Modern Day mmos put me through that I wasn't going to Sub anymore. I quit my WoW Guild in SoD and Retail gave away a bunch of gold and mats, cancelled ESO Plus (even though that game is b2p, you really can't play it without the sub) I started looking into other genres of games but nothing is as fun as an MMO can be so I was looking around at some others that don't cost a monthly sub. Tried out GW2 again and EVERYTHING about the game just seems amazing to me. Combat is fluid and incredibly intentional, it feels less about nailing a rotation and more situational and reactive. At least the classes I'm really focusing on feel that way, Firebrand and a baby Revenant. I played around with some spears in the janthir beta, super fun and that gave me a good taste of what some fully unlocked lvl 80 toons can play like. I got tired of deleting characters just so I could try out other classes so I spent some money and bought enough character slots to have them all 😄 very happy about that. I've now cleared the main story on a new main and am working my way through Living Season 1, its going ok though I'm not enjoying these stages of the story where you just have to clear events in a zone to fill a slow filling progress bar. I'm onto the second one of those now and I'm not having fun with it. But I am loving the over all story so I want to do everything in order, I'll slog through it 😉 I've done far worse in every other game haha! 

So i just gotta say, I've finally seen the light. I've had my "ah ha moment" with GW2 and I think its ruined me for other mmos. Combat, most fun. Mounts!!!! I don't even gotta tell you guys you've set the global gold standard for how mounts should function and feel in a MMO. It's simply just amazing and so refreshing to be playing a MMO where I'm always finding things that excite me, and new things to do and explore. Its testing my skills as a gamer, story is great, exploration is great, sound design is great though sometimes buggy in early game zones, music is awesome, art style and transmog is top top notch. Underwater combat!!?!?!?! SO freaking amazing. I'm just having such a great time and am so satisfied with my experience I just wanted to come into the forums and give everyone on the dev team an big round of applause. 

I really look forward to the housing system coming in Janthir Wilds, as well as land spears. Can't wait to play that. I don't pre order anything anymore as a matter of principle but I'll be a day one purchaser 😄 Also I hear there's a Guild Wars 3 in the making!? So COOL! 

Keep up the good work there everyone, and have a great summer 🙂

Welcome to Tyria and the best of luck!

Guild Wars 3 may or may not be a future part of the franchise, just so you are aware.

Let's not bring rumors into this. All we should be doing is availing ourselves to them in case they want help in-game or someone to chat with.

Anyway, yeah, welcome to the game. We all float down here. 😄

Merely informing the OP that the rumor he/she has heard may or may not be accurate.  Would not want OP to be disappointed.

Aww, who doesn't like hearing about a fresh-faced new Tyrians experience while they still see all the polish and shine through the wide eyes of a neophyte?
I love it!
Enjoy and welcome (back - for reals this time) to GW2 😁

Yeah this isn't really a rumor at this point. There have been leaks of start-and-stop development for years, and now the CFO confirmed to some extent GW3 was in some stage of consideration/production.

Stating that GW3 "may or may not be" is an extremely accurate representation of the publicized facts. We knew it to be in limbo to some extent for years, and now we definitely know it is in some sort of a limbo, whatever that be.
