---------------------------------------
Are you a Guild Wars player who’s had your face stomped into the ground by the White Mantle recently? Hang on—stand up and spit the dirt out of your mouth before you answer that. Or maybe you truly are a god walking among mere mortals, and even a Mursaat in genie pants can’t touch you? Whatever the case may be, we want to hear about it!
Now that the War in Kryta has reached its conclusion, we’d like to take a moment of your time to ask you to share your impressions of the journey.
Our War in Kryta survey centers mainly on the difficulty and accessibility of the War in Kryta content. We’ll be using this information as we move forward with Guild Wars Beyond to ensure that we’re delivering the best possible content to you. This is your chance to make sure your opinion gets heard!
If you’re interested in sharing your feedback with us, head over here and take our short survey!

Uh, it's really nice that they did a survey to know our opinions, I really hope they'll be considered to determine how to do future gw:b content!!
slowerpoke
Time to tell them how we really feel about 'WiK'
cosyfiep
I completed the survey.....and yes, I LOVE to comment so yes they got a snoooooot full of it 
party with all heroes---shall be waiting for that, yes yes.....BUT with the normal 'timetable' of anet, I will have a long wait most likely.

Frankly I'd rather they dropped everything they were doing (even the friggin dervish 'update' that will arrive sometime within the next decade) and concentrate on allowing 7 heroes. Can't be THAT hard and would give us a whole hell of a lot to do whilst waiting.

I don't see why adding full hero parties would be a bad thing. Let those who suffer Henchmen the option of fuller customization.

Anyone know if the boxes have a character limit? I have a lot to say about the WiK content. I want to know if I'll be able to fit my long ramblings, otherwise I might not bother.

A handful of people should deliberately say it was horrible, boring and every possible negative thing about the War In Kryta.
Personally, I want to do the quests again just for the...
get ready...
fun of it all.

I know it doesn't directly encourage you to pick up a team full of regular players but having the heroes there to me is considered a good thing, especially when you just want to test builds/ don't want the pressure of messing up the mission.
It wasn't very difficult to work out what to do but i hope theres more ingame messages like the "you may now travel to continent x through seeing npc y". The main thing was the fun of the viral campaigns and the players all getting together to decipher the clues etc.
All in all, i love extra bits of content that expands on the lore and especially when it wasn't actually needed. Thats why when they spoke of the weapons and rewards for the doing this, i put i didn't actually mind. The rewards ARE nice but nothing too special and would have played the content regardless.

Surprised with this survey, in a good way. The question that arises- why weren't there more of these kinds of surveys? I'm not saying that the team should listen to everything the survey will say but some conclusions can be formed thanks to it.
So, people who want 8 players parties with cons and pve skills are who? Cheaters?
So yeah, bye. Take the quest "in search of a clue".

Its nice to see this poll. But the questions make me think they really havent even started on the next GW:B segment yet, I could be wrong. At least they seem serious about the 7 heros thing. I think most people will vote for it.
MArcSinus
Great they made a survey, let's pray they actually do something with the results If they do then 7-hero party's here I come!

AngelWJedi
i had to hold my self back on the comment parts. hehe but i so hope they actually read these surveys and do something good. and do it before we all turn 200 would be nice.
cosyfiep
yes I gave them both barrels (and a few shot gun shots too).
For those who think 7 heroes is bad---just think of that pug where the monk went afk, and you had to restart....SOME of us dont like to rush thru quests/missions and yes, we also get interrupted (phone, dinner, emergencies) at which time a party of humans would say every nasty thing to you when you tell them you have to leave---the heroes and henchies, well they just stand there and patiently wait for your return---
so its not just for loners, but also for those who have RL priorities which may impact a group playing together such that playing solo would harm no one.
Yes I thought it was a pretty good survey and you were allowed to comment (yes the henchmen should have been level 20 for level 20 content really) .....and I too, hope they use it wisely (not just get the figures and put it into a filing cabinet somewheres).
AND
I hope they are already working on the 7 heroes because they mentioned it and for the most part everyone is for it (ok a few are not), but the MAJORITY think it would be a good thing though I am not holding my breath.

I wrote "Gimme 7 hero party's!" (or something to that extend) multiple times in like every message box so I'll think they will get my point.
Wielder Of Magic
I liked this survey, makes me feel like they really care about my opinion.
My ideas:
- less dialogue, more quests.
I sure liked all information, but to rezone a gazillion times for the next part of a dialogue was kinda annoying.
- fix henchman.
Facing lv20 enemies with lv10 uninfused henchman is not funny.
About 7 hero parties:
I love the idea of my personal army,but on the other hand I am still afraid that it might kill pugging all together. People will probably prefer heroes above players because, sadly, heroes can do it better then your average Leeroy Jenkins.
Perhaps lessen rewards and droprates if a single player adds more then 3 heroes?
That might give people a reason to still team up while giving people not caring about things as drops a way to fully customise their party.
I am by no means a GW expert, but these are my opinions.

I mean honestly, what did they THINK was gonna happen when you have a "lowby area" (Level 8-12 henchmen) and anywhere from 2 to 4 other team slots to fill?? I'll never understand why they designed the WiK content for 6-8 man parties for what is essentially a single-player RPG for most of their players...
I had a guild, and admittedly, even WE had trouble with some of this stuff when we didn't pull everything juuuust right
Ninja Ninja
I told them I want less Asura trials filled with bad jokes and that I want a more serious storyline, I was disappointed when I saw they weren't taking the content seriously this close to gw2.
Lord Dagon
good survey. hopefully they actually look at the info they get and not just get the LoLz out of it and keep on their merry way.

I at least tried to hint at making sure the updates were ya know...decent? Where it wouldn't cause issues like not being able to vanquish an area. or...livia not moving when you entered an area...twice (I figured they would have learned the first time but nooo)...that was my major issue with WiK to be honest I really liked the rest. I just am not big on buggy updates.
I do believe that WiK is over and that the loose-ends are the linking point to the rest of the GW:B stuff (when it comes) so for all purposes here I think that the WiK can be considered complete.

Darcy
I did the survey, great that it was fast and easy. I hope everyone is not saying the WiK content was too hard.
Sytherek
I posted some long (and I hope) helpful comments. The content was poorly organized, but interesting; the missions were too variable in difficulty; I love new content -- but please give me someone other than GWEN!
Oh -- an YES, I want to fill my team with heroes, so I no longer need to drag level 10 henchies into level-20 content.
I'm a social guy -- but one thing I love about GW is the ability to accomplish (almost) anything with or WITHOUT other people. My time, my choice.
EDIT: Won Battle for Lions Arch with humans. HOWEVER, before that, I had five failed runs with people. How about the guy who brought an MM with HEAL AREA? Or the guy who demanded to bring his "great" heroes, none of which had insignias or runs? Then there was the mage who wasn't infused... I keep running into that little problem, with people who somehow get into Mursaat content without infusion!

Well this came out of nowhere.
I think these sort of surveys would have been helpful all along to help guide the devs to do what the community felt was important. Left my feedback on WiK but was confused at the language of "competed". I thought we were led to believe that there was more to the story? Maybe that's what they mean by GW:B of which WiK was part of. Confusing, eh?
7 hero parties...wonder how the vote will turn out on that one.

Anyway I didn't vote that it was too hard, just that some of the difficulty was really artificial and kind of stupid; I specifically mentioned how putting Soothing Images on basically every Mesmer and Necro/Mesmer was kind of bullshit because of how fast it recharges and how "difficulty" was forced by gigantic mobs with pretty mediocre skillbars, and that some of the stuff was looooong(the one where you get the Golem bombing flag things must have had ~50 mobs I swear).

Let's please not rehash the 7 hero argument in this thread. If you'd like to discuss that you can do so here:

I enjoyed almost all aspects of it. The Asuran trials were very in character for their race. They literally made me laugh out loud.
Being a hardcorer, of course I gave my opinion on all but a few questions. And yes, I lauded on about how I would love 7 heroes.

I do lots of HM/Books/Dungeons/Vanquishing on a Ranger and a Rit. NEITHER runs a Discordway or Sabway or any other "way" from PVX Wiki.

Anyways, lets hope they actually listen that pretty much all players want 7 heroes. WiK was poorly organized without looking on Guild Wiki, but the content itself was epic until Battle for LA.

But really, I don't mind Mhenlo's bar; it's Lina's that annoys me. Just replace Zealous Benediction with Restore Condition and Guardian for Aegis and her bar would be much better. Giver her GoLE or Power Drain and suddenly it becomes a good bar.
BlackSephir
It's a bad skill, I don't really care if it's friendly with hench AI, their AI won't magically make the skill good.

Give me a reward that MEANS something, like a HOM statue. I don't need another silly weapon.
Yes, I said that in the survey.

Since when did a HoM statue mean anything more than a new weapon?
At least you can show off a new weapon for the sake of vanity.
