Incidentally, another thing to dispute with Mandragor-In-A-Can builds is whether they actually are best on a Mesmer primary, or whether an Elementalist, Necromancer or even Ranger with a bit of speccing in Illusion or Inspiration can do the job better.

Urgoz and the deep are after-factions missions, to whomever mentioned wanting something after the factions storyline.
The fact that anyone is working on GW1 at all brings new hope to what would appear to be a dead, forgotten, rotting corpse. I'm really glad to hear that.

Maybe Smiter's Boon should take AWAY healing and give more damage...

What I am saying is that players should not expect massive amounts of content on the same scale that a team of half a dozen are able to produce. The impression that I'm getting from the responses in this thread is that you're all expecting and hopeful of a level of production that cannot humanly be achieved by two people. |
We still don't know when to expect GW2 and with the idea of new content being largely shot down, it will be tough to stay motivated to play GW.
Just wondering if you guys at Anet see that games like Aion could potentially take a fair share of players away when people get tired of waiting?

It is nice to hear there will be more quests and mission although more addons would be nice.I could still see chapter syetem evey year not every 6 months that is another topic altogether.I have invested so much time into my GW chars I don't want to give up on them and move right over to GW2.

So let me guess that quests will be for receive torment weapons because DoA its empty now ....
about Ursan nerf i only say that its not in forums you should look for awnsers but in game ... dont tell me the thousands of Ursans that were playing DoA are happy with that ... would be fairly easy for Anet create a poll in game about some content of game so you could see what comunitie thinks
2 guys working in gw1 ?? If Anet thinks that had a crap Dervish hero and 2 quests will be enough for keep us playing till GW2 come out problably in end of 2009 i think they will have a big surprise.

Unless Anet is intentionally trying to remove popular builds from the game in an effort to get players so frustrated that they quit playing (thus freeing up servers), I see no point in any changes to cryway.
There are a lot of PvE skills that seem to be grossly overpowered not the least of which are [save yourselves] and [shadow form], nerfing cryway will only add to the confusion felt by the community after the last major update.
Leave Cryway alone anet.

I had hoped, ever so briefly, based on the OP in this thread, that GW1 was going to get some more love from ArenaNet, but now I see that this is really not the case. We really are in "just basic maintenance" mode.
I wonder if ArenaNet has any concerns about players leaving GW1 during this -- what shall we call it? ... "lull period"? -- and then not coming back when GW2 finally hits the shelves?

Well, anyways - good thing to hear that GW1 will still be updated. Only thing which distrub me, is further PvP\PvE diversion. IMHO, it's make things slightly worse with almost each update...
Lady Raenef
Your welcome for the summary, though some of it was cloudy. I only listened to it once and wrote things down as I heard it. I was also doing other things too, mind you. I guess my wording on the developer team was wrong, I knew that it was a handful of people occasionally swapping to help with GW1, but I didn't overlook my wording. Glad to see you posting here Regina.
I'm just wondering if Smiter's Boon could be changed into a more...useful, yet balanced skill just so we don't have to overlook it every time we make a build. I mean, for example, that hideous shirt your friend buys you that you've never wore, not once in your life, why would you bother keeping it? Every time you sort through your clothes, it dreads upon you like laundry that needs to be dried out or they start to smell sour. So, fix the skill to something else! Put a top hat on Smiter's Boon and call it a new skill.

A lot of players have asked for more and GW2 should be the answer to that but then along comes a game like Aion, and there may be more. What if those games end up also being what people wanted and move there since Anet have completely lost their momentum? That to me is what seems to be the situation. I want more and better and I do not want to wait another year for it.
Sweet Mystery
The problem is Anet are not releasing ANY info on GW2 at all.... so nothing to keep people interested either.... give us some teaser trailers, some graphics, some concept work..... you know you want to !!
I am seeing less and less people on my friends list online, less people in districts and I think more and more are fleeing as they have done it all and nothing at all to keep interested.....
Titles go only so far..... but with no idea what any title will unlock even that motivation can lull for a player....
Anet.... PLEASE give us something on GW2 and some new stuff for GW1 to keep us going....

What's up with PvErs (hint: not saying all of em) who want a grossly imbalanced game? Like, do you guys just honestly not care at all that it is very lazy game design and balancing holding up your entire mode of play, or what? Cry of Pain is about as balanced as one of the Olympic Chinese girls on a seesaw and a fat Japanese sumo guy on the other side of the seesaw.
And don't give me the excuse that it's the only thing getting Mesmers groups because:
a) You shouldn't be willing to only get groups for something your class isn't meant for. Woo, you get groups because the idiots who thinks Nuking = win wants you because you can do an Ele's job. That sure must be feel great.
b) Only the dumb PUGs and pug mentality think Mesmers are useless in PvE. Less effective maybe, but they have many useful skills. And I'm not even including PvE ones there.

Balance is in the eye of the beholder dark. If I don't use the skills you see imba, then I don't necessarily see any imba. Plus, as we already discussed, I'm not sure people are ready for balance...

The problem with GW1 is the same one I have been saying for awhile. The other MMOs out there are coming out with new expansions, and some new games are about to pop up. This is going to take away from GW1 because there is simply nothing to keep people playing.
If you look at the list of MMO expansions about to hit, and then look at the list of new MMOs coming out soon, you can see that the GuildWars team needs to do something to keep people interested.
I have seen in other games that it really doesn't take much to keep people interested. You do not have to put out new areas and such every month. Just add a quest or two a month, or change up some of the current content that isn't played. There is a good amount of content in GW that is never played, it doesn't seem to hard to go back and change the area to make it more interesting or fun to play through. Take some of the remote areas of Mag jungle and rework them. Maybe redo all the creatures from Majesty's Rest to be more themed around bone dragons.
I don't have the answer, but I hope that GW does something because the game is becoming more and more empty. That really isn't something anyone wants.
