On a good day, maybe (zquest day). But you can still sync two guild teams against each other and grind points.

Yes cause it takes so long to see what's happening in Riverside, read this thread and post in it. All about 5 minutes. I don't play my games 8 hours straight you know.

What about those of us that are in the camp of, "Updates will come when they do, just be honest about it and don't tell us it's every 2 months when it obviously isn't"? I honestly don't care about the actual updates. I have fun playing GW. When it gets stale I take a break for a few months. The thing that steams me is being told by the PR team that updates will come on such and such times and then they don't.

Morphy · Aug 06, 2010, 03:27 PM // 15:27

You should know by now that they don't follow that 2 months bs anymore. Just stop mentioning it, it won't become any more real if you keep talking about it.

jazilla · Aug 06, 2010, 03:44 PM // 15:44

@Morphy: Do you have a link that says they don't follow that anymore? If you don't then to me, ANET still thinks they are on that timeline and that is precisely the problem I have. I am just stating the problem I have with the system. Saying one thing and doing another is the "bs" you speak of. I can't be ticked off at that?

Why do you need a link? Use common sense and look for yourself. They haven't kept to this promise whatsoever. Why would they suddenly start doing it? As I said in my previous post, it's not going to happen, stop QQing about it.

Bobby2 · Aug 06, 2010, 07:53 PM // 19:53

Gah. All he asks is for ANet to be honest. That's not too much, imho...

I changed my main page from Guru about 6 months ago, I check it about once every two-three days, sometimes post. I can't think of any reasons to play GW over League of Legends, Bad Company 2 or any other player vs player online game. Hell, I'm more excited about the new 2D Worms game coming out on Steam than about Guild Wars or the sequel.

Let this go. This is the new (or should I say old?) status quo.

Yea I think we should have been jaded long ago. Fresh tantrums stemming from old problems is annoying.

GW1 is the best MMO of all time!!

Update August 5th: Still playing this game just so I can keep complaining about it.

Karate Jesus · Aug 06, 2010, 10:27 PM // 22:27

Did they fix the map rotation yet, or are they taking the weekend off?

We just had that discussion and they never actually promised updates every 2 months.

Pathetic would be more accurate.

Good point, why do you keep making a big deal of it all the time?

As much as Karate Jesus says he loves this game, he never seems to miss an opportunity to call Anet out on lack of content and/or promises they never kept. He's like a fan-troll; someone who keeps posting scandalous crap, and always focuses on that one thing. I don't think I have ever once seen him excited/appreciative of the free service we all get.

Hell, I can write a 5-part series on people like him, but I'm too lazy.

A lot of people don't realize that anet can't let GvG die if they want to maintain whatever credibility they have left. They created a test krewe for the sole purpose of feedback on potential updates and to try to spark life into the PvP community. Although all it's doing right now is slowing down the rate at which people leave competitive play, they can't just let their pride-and-joy PvP format die without making attempts to help it if they want to convince the hundreds, or possibly thousands, of ex-PvPers that GW2 is turning over a new leaf and making organized PvP more accessible while still remaining competitive.

Okay, so there were 56 teams that turned out last month.
448 players, is not considered competitive PvP in any game. That is barely larger than a decent sized LAN Party event for a FPS game.

Now estimate how many people actively PvE. My guess would be somewhere in the 6k-10k range. PvP had its day and I have participated in both formats. It is no longer worth consideration imho. They need to accept that and quit diddling about if they don't want to lose even more of their fan base that is currently playing to game.

One good thing though. I don't really know of a large amount of people that left the game on ill feelings towards GW the game. Some people left due to Anet's subpar handling of many things. I think that all of the players who have moved on will probably end up playing GW2. Pure speculation on my part. One thing is for certain, at least it isn't WoW.

He's just another player/poster like you or me sharing his opinion. Disagree or not he is not the scourge of Guild Wars. And if he is a troll as you say you're just giving him attention...

If a child was born the day GW was released, he'd be in Kindergarten by now. It's a game, like any other, and people move on. I don't think many have for bad reasons, either, we're only left to beleive that from the very vocal minority who want attention. Not everyone is going to leave when GW2 is released, either, there will still be a GW community for many years to come.
