So, I get to DoA (Dead on Arrival methinks), join a balanced group, rush out...boom! Jester's dead (Top Gun reference for all you kids).

Switched up my build, went out, started carefully, pulled one group, and....this time we got one before we all died. We were all in hysterics and trilled that we got one of those buggers.

Next time out the tank swtiched up his build and was doing well, some of the squishies got cocky, started dropping like flies. I, a monk run out, get spiked, and die almost instantly. This time I get to make my "Nice dirt they've got here. Think I'll take a nap" comment. Again laughs all around. The team sat there for a half hour and talked about how we could create a group to beat this area.

Honestly, this is the most fun I've had in GW in months. While I love Nightfall, I've got to admit that the Hero's, while I love them, have to some degree hurt the social aspect of the game. Being in a PUG with other experienced players, and actually having to think about how to succeed, was just great. First time I've added people to my friends list in months.

So ignore all the <whine> blah blah it's too hard blah blah </whine> posts, and keep up the good work. As a systems manager for a Fortune 100 company I've got to say that I'm continually amazed at the quality and quantity of your company's work.

Yes thankyou anet!

You gave me a game that took actual skill and brains to play!

(very much unlike WoW)

And I have so much fun with it, even after the farming nerf. It's fun to find new places to farm. And it's awesome to go PvP-ing. As far as I'm concerned.. this game has the best PvP ever. Better then anything else I've played.

(which is like.. Runescape and WoW.. lol I don't play games much.)

EDIT:
By the way, thankyou for making NF so much better then factions. I thought that if NF sucked I was just gonna stop playing.

I agree, a big thank you to A-Net and Gaile.

The Domain of Anguish is the place I have been waiting for. It is an optional area of extreme difficulty. An area that makes all others look like a walk in the park. Not only is it tough, I really enjoy the otherwordly atmosphere of it. Seeing upgraded versions of the Shadow Army was great as well. They are getting their revenge for being beaten so bad in the Fissure of Woe.

Thanks for the great communication with the player base as well. I know it may sometimes seem like a thankless job, but just remember there are a great number of people who truly appreciate your work and effort. To me, Nightfall was indicative of how much this Dev Team truly loves their product and playerbase.

Thank you

Yea, Anet is quite punctual with their relations with the players. Also the holdiay events are very enjoyable and always have a entertaining crowd while waiting.

On the note of DoA, Everything I expected it to be. In all honesty, Mallyx shoulda been the final boss if he could summon up THESE beasties from out of nowhere. After going there I know I don't stand a freaking chance but I will stop by once in a while to see how things have progressed. Briliant elite area Anet, the best Raid dungeon I've seen thus far.

Thank you ANet. Your probably one of the only games teams that actually listens to consumer feedback to improve the game and expand it in further ways. Truly a testament to cooperation between consumer and producer.

yeah 3000+ hrs later i think i can say i've only logged more hours in school or at work. definately one of the better investments i'd say (rather than wasting $50 dollars for a new game after 30 hrs of play)
GJ ANET keep it up

I haven't logged 3000 hours yet.. I'm at 2600, but I agree that Nightfall is the best game I've played in a long time, even with the horrible AI.

I have all three games, and have loved every minute of playing. I've met so many great people playing this game. It really is nice to have an opinion and get listened to, when there are so many people who play GW along with you. I'll keep playing till the servers don't exist.
Thank you, everyone at Arena Net, and keep up the good work.

My first posts were to complain about DoA's sense of frustration, but thinking better my first post should be one thanking you for the high quality game and fun you gave us all this time.
So better late than never.....

I THANK YOU

and if my critisism is a bit hard is because I love this game.

Great work A-Net I encourage everyone to make posts like this more often, a welcome change amidst a sea of pointless and whining complaints from ppl who prefer "up>down>left>right hold A + Start" "God mode unlocked"

I'm not always the "biggest" supporter but I think Anet has been doing a great job lately and doing better all the time. You guys have really stepped it up a notch and actually been responding more to your player base. That is a GIGANTIC plus in my book. Congrats on a job well done and hopefully many more!

kade... That made me think of up C down C left C right C start (at least I think thats what it was o_O). Go Go Sonic the Hedgefrog!

Great job ANET and Gaile

I would also like to express my thanks to A-Net and NC-Soft for a job well done. To me a lot of the improvements are a godsend especialy the farming code. NC-Soft and A-Net try to do a job that requires much more manpower than they apperiently have, monitoring an international game can be quite stressful and dealing with the incesstant complaining and questions that a lot of us has can take a great deal of time on their part.

For me, Guild Wars is more than just a place I can farm and play a game. I love the community. I love my guildies. I love the social interaction between everyone in Ascalon, Kamadan, Shing Jea, etc. Most of all, I love you A.Net.

I complain a lot about everything in Guild Wars, but really, I have nothing to complain about. You guys made a world where, when I want to get away from it all from time to time, I can escape to a place where the words of a single person is heard by millions.

You love your supporters. You love your duties. You love feedback.

It should be known, here and now, that you too are forever loved. Godbless you A.Net. Godbless all of you.

Thank you anet and Gaile. Many whiners (myself included at times) whine on this forum because they know you listen. Keep up the good work and never, ever hesitate borrowing great ideas from other MMORPG's.

Thank You ANet and Gaile. Guildwars is a game, a community, and a place of joy. I couldn't have found a better game.

Once again, with dearest sincerity. Thank You ALL!
