Sardelac Sanitarium Being Un Responded to By Anet

Sardelac Sanitarium was a great thing but now that Anet announced that it would no longer add features,and just fix bugs, that most ideas will go on heard but not responded to?

I just wanna hear what you guys think. I love the Sanitarium but we're really just coming up with great ideas that probably won't be implemented since Anet already planned the death of good ole GW1.

The only things that will be done are the fixing of bugs and problems of that sort.

I can't even remember the last time ANet responded to the Sad. Sanitarium...Have they ever?

And hey, you never know: we might just get some new explorable content in the coming months. Have faith. If not, then I'll see you on Team Fortress 2, bitches! (until I get bored with that, too)

Yes, frequently. Not in a post, but by adding the features. Lots of the little tweaks, and even larger additions were added.

I believe that the whole weapon/item template system came from there, as well as all of its improvements, such as ability to send to chat, and all other conveniences.

There were plenty of others, plenty of small UI tweaks, various content additions, but since the talk of them died so quickly after they were implemented, it's hard for to confirm which exactly they were.

The time between proposal and implementation also wasn't instant.

when and where did they say this?

ArenaNet cannot legally respond to posts in the Sardelac Sanitarium.

It's all about the copyright issues.

Yeah Zinger that's true but they could, gee I dunno be inspired by some noobs rants and add some cool content maybe? They can't legally respond but they can get a few good ideas. What I meant is that you see a lot of great ideas but now that Anet is too busy on GW 2 and are just fixing bugs that all these ideas are kinda wasted because even if they were widely agreed with Anet probably wouldn't implement them, like they would've around Factions or Nightfall era.

Awhile back someone said that the Sard was pretty much a place for people to offload their ideas so it wouldn't clutter up the rest of the boards. It's also difficult to impossible to varify if Anet ever considered what's posted on it all that much.

I feel bad for the Anet employee that actually does have to read all those posts.

Somehow I strongly doubt that all of the posts or threads in there get read.

Gaile's responded to Riverside Inn posts why wouldnt she took a look at a few sard posts? They wouldn't read all of them that's for sure but it doesn't mean it goes completely unread

If anything Anet should get many of their ideas from Sardelac Sanitarium on a more regular basis from these forums and others like it. Some of the armours and mods people have made with Textmod are really making Anet look a bunch of amateurs.

I'd rather they work on gw2, in all honesty.

Sardelac Sanitarium in the mental hospital of Guru, you kow what else has been missing from Sardelac Sanitarium lately...great ideas.

But yeah its about copyright, anytime a new feature is released some forum member goes on a rampage about how they stole his(sic) idea.

Well if they post it on a Gw fansite you might as well expect the person to want Anet to read about it

Well, a fansite is never meant to "inform the game developers." I mean, really this forum is meant for our own entertainment and ego. Its great that Galie reads certain threads every so often. Just don't get spoiled and expect it.

In the specific case of Guild Wars, I disagree. ArenaNet has no official forums, so the fansites are the only way for ArenaNet to obtain knowledge about the community.

That is not true. If you ever attempt to send a suggestion to Anet, they will direct you to posting it on their list of GW fan forums.

This is the vehicle they are using to overcome having to officially accept a suggestion. I am quite sure that they read it, perhaps even now, as they'd want suggestions for GW2 as well.

They might just implement 1% of the suggestions, or something. The rest might well be crap, not what they are focusing on, against their company agenda, or just technically hard to implement. GG to those with great suggestions though.

That automated response to post on a fansite is a.net's way to get you off thier back.

But really, a.net HAS implemented a lot of things that were suggested in the Sardelaic board. Its just MOST of the suggestions are crap that a.net would never implement or stuff like an auction house that would be difficult to code. Its just the number of examples (/favor command, an anti-leaver system, etc) are far outwaighed by the number of examples of "skill suggestion: for 30 seconds you can not die and deal 50% more damage."

If they wont add anything how about they START fixing real bugs ffs!I mean how long would it take to look over bloody charrslayer weapons code...grrrr!

I don't know about that. I mean, they have to add something to the game, but i really doubt they go through a forum to look for ways to get around the problem, I believe a lot of the things that were done, and posted there are more a coincidence than anything else, A lot of things are posted there, chances of someone thinking of a feature to add that Anet later thought of too is pretty big.

besides most of the ideas posted in there are useless, and a lot of them are opposites of each other, so it almost doesn't matter what Anet thinks about doing, chances are it was posted there, or on other forums like this.
