A-net did absolutly nothing to me.
Why?
It's a GAME.
I still have the Game, the rest? So what, it's not real.

Because it was never intended to work that way, and made Knights armor as a full set COMPLETELY useless?

Variety? You mean EVERY intelligent warrior using Gladiators with Knights Boots? Thats some variety there.

I love how every sign of protest or a complaint on this board gets called "bitching and moaning". Last time I checked, *WE* were the customers, not ArenaNet. If they manage to put out an update after months of putting it off, obviously screwing many people over, we have a pretty damn good reason to say something about it. To all you people who crawl out of their little hole just to point their finger at someone who makes a valid complaint/point and call them "bitchers and moaners": Go crawl back into your pathetic hole.

Just made my ranger the uber ele killer, rangers are more usefull now.

Ranger armor is:
Base 70
+30 vs ele
+15 vs specific

sentry
base 70
+30 vs ele
+10 in stance

No matter how you stack it, if you're facing an ele you now need a ranger

What will this do to me it will set me back maybe a year or 9 months in getting my set of 15K.I will eventually have to buy some pieces of glads armor to replace the knights on my Warriors yes I have 2 of them.I just wished the crafting materials prices were all fixed at the vendor.

I was all fixed had the skills I wanted got a few extra socs in case and getting good selection of crafting material together.I was.'t planning on buying anything for my chars for awhile as I wanted to get my set of 15Ks.I was all set.

Was rather disappointed to find my armor 15, -2 stance shield now is only good against physical damage. Armor in general sucks now, as you dont get the benefits from each piece(Im amazed they still havent made it so only 1 rune at a time will work on armor). Options are being limited, and thats not good. Some players, though, it sounds like ANet could hand them a urine sample, theyd say it was an "Exotic lemonade"... Just dont understand how these people can just say, "Hey, its their game, they do what they want, "(even if its an obviously bad idea)", and you should just deal with it"... Makes no sense to me. We did buy the game, but things are being changed when there is no need or desire among a great deal of players for the change. The "fanbois" seem the type, where, if they pay the morgage on their house, and the day after the get the recipt saying it was paid, they get another bill, would just pay again, because, "The bank owns the mortgage, so its alright for them to do that." Glad Ive only got the one piece of Droks, hasnt cost me much, but might not buy 2nd piece I was planning on.

ANET made Guild Wars for me to play, I'm happy with that.

If I am to be more specific:
- ANET nerfed Twin Serpent Lakes' Tengus, but I made a lot of profit before that, and I moved on to other farming areas
- ANET nerfed Prophet's Path Griffon farming area, again I made lots of profit before that, and now I moved on to the other farming areas
- ANET fixed Green exploitation, the abilty to find out if a boss will drop a green before we kill it, I farmed lots of Sskai's Sword before this fix, so no worries there
- ANET finally answered my prayers when I was begging for a Ghial's Staff using the /bug command, after I killed Ghial's for countless time using my W/N and Ghial refused to drop his staff
- ANET did the same for me, for a Canthan Green Blood Staff, the one just ouside Aurious Mines
- etc ...

Read up "Who moved my cheese?" if you are unable to cope with changes in life.

Yes.Because clearly warriors losing all elemental defence is a very small thing.

I do believe you deserve a Gee Tee Eff Oh.

im pretty sure a meteor thrown at you from an ele would have its dmg reduced by a shield seeing as a meteor is pretty physical. You see in films warrior deflecting spells such as lightening bolts. The physical idea seems really dumb imo. i dont care about the knight/ascalon armor update but the vs physical shield update doesnt seem right. Shields surely can prevent dmg from certain spells. For example ice spikes surely would be physical so should have some dmg reduced.

im sorry about your loss. I have lost more millions than i dare think about. bought a perfect shield i spent months looking for then two days later it is updated and inperfect.

  • Well, they just made a good shield of mine into a fairly valuable one.
  • They've continued to keep gameplay interesting & competitive for over a year.
  • They nerfed the spirit spamming rangers back when those groups were virtually invinvcible in HoH.
  • They hosted 3 quite enjoyable holiday events
  • They made the best looking Warrior armor totally useless (except for gatherings around the round table - oh wait! there is no round table in GW!)
  • They've provided a game where you can meet some interesting and fun people.
  • They provided a game where you can meet some annoying and moronic people

ok, yes i was pissed when i made my first post, but i know a few people who feel like i do, i love anet, and what they have done, but as a mother love her child, the child does not always agree with the changes the mother makes for the child.

Example? ok, an easy one for all,

A child is give dessert for a full year every night, after over a year, the mother says, o well, u can only have dessert once a month, do u think the child is happy, Hell no...

If someone is one way for a full year+, y change it now?

I will continue to play gw of course, but will i always love the updates, no, but that is life, ok?

If you guys want to see examples of how things start off great then for whatever reason go completely crap (and commercial reasons often factor into it)

- Look at games e.g. the Tribes series, which many probably don't know about but was great for me. The last one killed the series for being so poor and limiting and restricting so much.

- Movies e.g. Aliens, original two were classic. The rest were rubbish cashing in. The countless "sequels" which are churned out of Hollywood just to cash in some more.


Anyway back on topic I think the biggest damage that's happened is the PR disaster of Anet promising one thing, or at the very least giving the impression of promising one thing, and then delivering something else. That, or they've delivered something with restricitons/limitations and apparently deliberately so.

Nothing's more damaging than loss of faith and trust in a product/company - especially if word gets out about it. What's going to happen for Chapter 3? We're going to be promised more things but then at the last minute told it will be only for that chapter? Things get crippled/restricted in old chapters so you're "compelled" to buy the next one? Slippery slope...

They need to get their internal lines of communication sorted too out methinks.
