I don't know why I post this since you never answer the more difficult questions (ie when will you guys bother to fix the PvP of this game ?)

Also, the results of the "Brand the Boss" contest are much less complex (than the mentioned game balances) as it doesn't really affect gameplay at all

Solution? Don't post it, nobody cares about your bickering.

Just PR? By doing PR it's her job to stay in contact with the community. And frankly, I think we've all waited quite long enough and have a right to demand some answers. It's not acceptable to just answer the trivial carebear stuff.

No effect? NO EFFECT? Doesn't a name strike terror into your heart? The name of a foe can be as disconcerting as his appearance, and how well will you fight when a Thug Strongsplat or some other monster is staring you down. I bet you'd fight alot worse than if it was Squeak the Puny facing you. No effect... what about the corpse, eh? Instead of being the "Corpse of Wimpy the Weak" it's the "Corpse of Grak Throttledoom" - which corpse will raise better minions, or make a better Well, eh? eh? I mean, sure, it's not a pip of difference, but look at the colours shimmering in that well. That's a well named well. And the minions smell so much better.
MSecorsky
Of course... if I came across a boss "Homer Simpson" I would be too incapacitated to fight effectively.

BigTru, I clicked! where is my PS2?
stumpy
lunch time is actually just starting ... so it will likely be posted in the next hour. I am on california time too and it JUST started aout 2 minutes ago.
just look at guildwars.com and hit the refresh button every 5 minutes ... unless, like me, some of you actually do work for a living (bitching doesnt count hijackers ... ) in which case Im good to check back every so often. I know all my names are chosen already so its not like any of you really should make an effort.
I sent in 'nash the nagger', 'dirty odd sock', 'smacktalk skeezer blue' and a few unmentioned ... im sure they never picked this one 'patience is a virtue' or 'crybabies bane'

Well, it's tough to translate those characters.
Personally I kinda like Garbok Handsmasher. "Ow! My hand! You smashed my hand! That really hurts! Why did you do that? Seriously, my hand dude!"

Second, by whose standards can you state, not as an opinion, but as fact, that you've "waited quite long enough?" Your standards? Ours? The man in the moon's?
This process does not allow putting an exact timer on waiting, and the waiting is a necessary part of the process. For after all, the objective is to build the best improvements possible, test them, incorporate them, and then listen again for feedback, suggestions, and other comments of value. And the matter of value is important to note. We intend to assure that what we do has value and worth to the PvP player. But honestly, what has no value whatever is yet another post with unrealistic demands and angry complaints. We won't be talking about what's coming at this point. We're sorry, but that's just the way it will be. We may be able to speak about it very soon, but not today.Please understand that we have a full team working on PvP issues. No one cares more than we do; no one wants PvP to be as close to perfect as we can get it. Players have hours invested in Guild Wars; we have years. And because of that, and because of such qualities as professionalism and experience, we're not going to rush changes out the door, or make predictive announcements, or compromise on the number or the value of new inclusions and changes.
I'm sorry that you're impatient and I fully understand the desire for more information. But a harsh tone, demands, and assertions of unacceptability just aren't appropriate. Thank you for (hopefully) understanding that.

We're not asking rushes, we're asking for changes to problems that were adressed a long time ago (long being relative to the online and gaming world time scale). I agree with you, rushing can lead to some problems but so can procrastinating or focusing efforts in the wrong areas of the game. Sorrow's Furnace's hype will be over in roughly two weeks. In the meanwhile PvP which is supposed to be the focus of this game is decaying rapidly and needs alot more attention and care than an explorable area.
P.S.: could you let in people who actually know something AND play PvP back into the alpha test please ?

In the end, only one word to describe this...
BURN!
Also, there is a special place in hell for people who use the word carebear in reference to online game preferences.

I didn't care for the two Flesh<suffix> names... too close to each other I think. But ANet more than redeemed itself with the Forgerunner and Yakslapper. I'm gonna chuckle uncontrollably every time I kill either of those guys.

There's another thread (also started by MSecorsky) with the list of winner here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=45707
Also, Odd Sock, can you refrain from baiting Gaile, or hijacking this and other threads. Find a more appropriate place to ask your questions. They're questions worthy of answers, but not in this thread.
