A note to the devs

[Lucien]

While i understand that PvP was in need of an overhaul, all of the last major updates have been PvP focused.

Going forward (after the inevitable PvP issues are ironed out) can you please focus on areas of the game your players have asked you to fix or improve.

I am not going to give examples as the forum is littered with them already. Just please no more PvP

Not going to allege that you didn’t need to echo this feedback, but it was already previously stated that:

PVP is the current focus, after PVP is Guild Wars, after that, I don’t know yet, but we’re not going to be all PVPPVPPVPPVPVPVPVPVPVP forever, just for now as it has been such a huge rework we needed to break it up into several updates, and it’s better to get them all done and out the gate while we’re all in PVP mode than to try to switch from area to area and having to remember where we left off in the code and things. Makes it easier to get more done if we don’t have to change direction and bounce around between things.

With this being (probably) the conclusion to the PVP rework, we can safely expect GW to be next on their radar (however long that timetable ultimately requires); implying that NOW is the opportune time for ideas with other modes, assuming that at least some of the decisions about future game content haven’t actually been made yet.

The dark side of production is that design decisions are quick and easy to make, compared to the time/work spent actually implementing/producing them. And as a matter of principle, once a design spec goes “into production” that spec is to be followed to the letter with zero deviations whatsoever (sometimes called a “feature freeze”), because unless some truly extraordinary circumstance happens, bouncing it back to the design/planning team for any reason is potentially a waste of whatever production time was already spent.

Please do add to my Arena thread if you like the mode:

Now after PVP suggestions for Arena

Now firstly let me say I know there are players who do not like Arena at all. This thread is not for you. There are however players that do like Arena - in fact we are having and Arena contest in my Guild this week. I like different modes and Arena is one of them. It is a very neglected mode though, with no proper event and no weekly Leaderboard. Here are some of my suggestions, and I hope other Arena enthusiasts will add more: Add a weekly Leaderboard Have a proper event with better rewar…

If nobody trusts announcements anymore, what could be the possible reason?

I really have a hard time putting my finger on it…
