Hey, everyone. I was just looking at the extensive to-do list that the Guild Wars Live Team has put together and is currently working on and started to wonder, "What are people most looking forward to?"

Here's the list as I know it so far (please let me know if I miss anything):

XTH
Live Test Krewe
Sealed Deck
HB/TA removal
Skill updates (more feedback and we're going to be allowed to know a month ahead of time now)
Implementing new Henchmen into PvP/Removing heroes from PvP
PvP skins
GvG Tiebreaker
New mAT schedules
JQ/FA bug fixes
New HoH map
Automating weekend events
Halloween Contest
Halloween Content
Wintersday Content
*Syncing RA (not sure if I should add this or not....I'm assuming they're considering this issue "handled")
Eliminating/Balancing Speed Clears (not really sure how to word that)
The possible skill change to Shadow Form
The possible re-work to 600ing

So what're you looking forward to?

I'm still excited about the Live Test Krewe. I can't wait to see how better QA improves the quality of the game.

Sealed Deck and Halloween Content (read: Costume Brawl).

I'd also like to see how they respond to community feedback about pending skill balances.

KJ, I'll take any of your list, but I'll add this: accurate weekend event descriptions. It's seriously bugging me how inept they've become at something so effing simple.

To your broader point though, Anet has seriously backed themselves into a corner with their unfulfilled promises, such as things you've listed, and how they've promised to be more 'open', when recent events show that's anything but the case. It's really a shame they've lost touch with their customers, when they should be getting people hyped up for GW2. Very poor business practices.

XTH if they fix it.
If they don't - I don't look forward to losing it.

Skill balance.
Which will now be incoming every 2 months.
FABULOUS!!11!1!!!!

Given how much time I waste in Aspy, one would think that changes to that format would be on this list. Considering that the changes seem to be about fixing NPCs, which ISN'T that map's biggest issue - I really do not care.

Basically I am interested in options that A.Net seems to be wasting less and less time on.
Hence why GW bores me lately.

If #10 is the bug that Juggernauts and Turtles stop moving despite owning a quarry, then I highly doubt that will get done. The bug has been around since Factions was released, and despite being a game changing bug (often it means the difference between a win or lose), it still has not been fixed.

I'm looking forward to:

1) Xunlai Tournament House -- Being a poor person all my life in this game, I really did love receiving my "monthly welfare checK" so I could buy Cool Stuff (like my first elite armor ;__; ).

3) Sealed Deck. I am frightened by PvP, but this actually sounds really fun and I would love to try it.

But other than that, I'm going to have to go with nothing/none of the above. Unless they start adding some genuinely new content into this game (like quests, outposts, maps, etc.), I will continue not to play it. I've already done everything 1000 times over and it's hella boring. x__x

Reordering it to fit my priorities.

Live Test Krewe
The possible skill change to Shadow Form
The possible re-work to 600ing (I have heard of no such plans. Source?)
Eliminating/Balancing Speed Clears
HB/TA removal (Only so high because it probably has to or should happen before Sealed Deck comes in.)
Sealed Deck
Skill updates
JQ/FA bug fixes
Halloween Content
Wintersday Content
Automating weekend events
GvG Tiebreaker
*Syncing RA
New HoH map
New mAT schedules
Halloween Contest
PvP skins (Because your look matters more than your equipment stats, amirite?)
Implementing new Henchmen into PvP/Removing heroes from PvP (lol, bars.)
XTH (Lost cause is lost.)

1. XTH

I don't like farming or powerselling for cash, and I already shelled out the extra $ for accounts just for this feature.

I have heard that Linsey mentioned on Twitter (and probably in other places) that soloing dungeons is a no-no. I'm assuming by that comment that they intend to go after 600ing. If it's too big of a leap, I'll take it off.

Probably right, but I hope they actually bring it back. It'd be nice to get resolution to the XTH though. It's been what? 8 months?

EDIT: Btw, I understand why you re-ordered them; however, I was trying to list them in the order in which we heard about it.....but I think that's inaccurate.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised. Hell, who knows? Maybe the conspiracy theorists were right for once and the XTH was just taken down with the hopes that we'd all forget about it.

God, I hope not.

Live Test Krewe? I had to look that up to find out wth it was. Good advertising there :P. Sounds like a good idea though.

Sealed Deck and HoH map ftw. The losing HoH team should not determine the winner of the remaining two! Such a broken format.

What's with all the shout of 600 smite nerf? It's infinitely more skilled than SF, requires 2 people, and is far more vulnerable. They're really not going to touch it.

"Meh" to the rest, but it's good they're catering to many player groups.

My answer:
IF no. 2 works the way it should (wich I doubt) we'll see a few but if not... I wouldn't hold my breath.

AGREE!
That's the one thing from the list that I want to never happen. The idea of free money for owners of multiple accounts should just die in hell.

Tbh, I just like the motivation to actually care about the mATs. I don't care about the money. I don't really care if other players sell their zkeys. I use mine

I am definitely looking forward to the Costume Brawl again this year. I just hope they re-balance the skills for it (and I'm really looking forward to any content they add to Halloween).

1) I want to see pvp skins for zcoins.
2) SF nerfed into the stone age
3) I never want to see or hear anything about XTH ever again
4) New HoH map and zcoins fall from the victory chest.

Looking forward to seeing Spawning Power made useful and much of the Ritualist's skills reworked into something more viable.

I know they're not planning on this, but I'll look forward to it anyways. Just like I look forward to Games Workshop releasing Codex: Dark Eldar in a few months. Years. Decades. Whatever, yknow.

I just wish they'd make PvP skins work for PvE characters (with zcoins even). I PvP on almost all 8 of my PvE characters...and none of them can use PvP weapons....which just doesn't make sense.

Never had heard any official news about that kind of action before today. Nice to know that they also consider 600/Smite to still be a threat.

I would not be totally opposed to them bringing XTH back if they could do it reasonably soon, within the next couple months. Hell, with 8 months of work already into it, if that number is correct, that's a considerable amount of time that could have been spent, I think, in better ways on a number of other projects.

Quote:

Maybe, maybe not. The list sounds complete enough from what I look at it. It's nice to have a compiled list of objectives that ANet may or may not be working on. Also, since they seem to want to start the year fresh in three months, perhaps this is more of a list of things they want to all have panned out before the New Year hits.
