your correct but sometimes when someone comes up with something positive and simple like saying i like the game and am having fun thank you and a constant complainer wont even give that small positive thread a break from his/her constant .........

This thread deserves a sticky. Keep the positive vibe bumping

You people are right, that a discussion forum is open to 'discussion'. However for a forum to work, the threads should remain on topic. For example, if this were a "discuss the recent changes" then everyone should post whether they like the update or not. But when the idea of the thread was "post what you liked about the update" then it seems talking about the negative aspects are a little off-topic. I don't want to discredit you people with concerns, but there are plenty of other threads to post your opinion in, leave this one for the intended reason please.

Yes, thank you ArenaNet for a great update. I particularly enjoy the increased PvP rewards. It makes my Random Arena experience so much more rewarding.

Keep up the great work! You guys seem to get a lot of criticism because the game is already really well-made and everyone wants it to be just that little bit better. It's nice to see that the SF update shows you guys want to make it as good as possible too!

Mmm, powers that be have done a fab job with the update, although turning Lions Arch int into hysTYRIA (oh I do kill myself sometimes) was a bit much fun

I haven't played much because my pc exploded on friday morning but what I have seen (the 4 initial quests into sf) was pretty awesome. The chorus of Oooooooooh and Aaaaaaah on comms was enough to say it all. The area's pretty spectacular to look at, to say the least. Possibly thinking about upgrading my graphics card to get the most out of it, and in time for the expansion next year. The music's absolutely awesome too.. Soule's done an amazing job with it and it suits the area well. Good to play guild wars to

*flag waving for 15k tormentors though*

I also enjoy the new changes and areas. It's tough to try and keep the majority pleased with changes and what not and I believe Anet is doing a great job walking that tight rope to retain our loyalty and business. I for one enjoy the game thoroughly and would like to thank Anet for a job well done.

Charrbane · Sep 11, 2005, 10:45 PM // 22:45

I too think they did an awesome job on this update. Although I haven't fully explored the Furnace area itself I really like what they gave us in the Summer Update not to mention the changes to the chests and others bits. Awesome job and thanks for the Free update. It certainly is greatly appreciated.

Erm...
Everyone...
How about we just ignore the negative posts that appear in this thread?
Those people who post something negative will expect someone to reply back, so imagine the dissapointed look on their faces if there is totaly no replies to their 'negative' post.

It takes 2 hands for a clap to make a sound.

Anyway,
Thank you ANET for this update.
Thumbs up!
Keep it going!
Gambate!
Cheers!

Thankyou's from company to customer, or employee to employer can go a long way, yes. But thankyou's from customer to company, or employer to employee mean close to nothing. Your employee isn't doing you a favor, you're doing him one. You can always find someone else. The company you're purchasing products from isn't doing you a favor either. You're doing them one, and you could easily find another product aswell (unless we're talking about a monopoly, which isn't the case).

A company can choose, in certain respects, to abuse it's comstomers.

Time Werner does it, Verizon does it, Microsoft does it, E-games does it, I can keep rattling them off all day.

Areanet does not choose to abuse it's costomers.

For that I feel they deserve praise.

And whether or not we paid for the services we are being rendered, if done well, they deserve thanks.

I thank my waitress when she brings me my food. I thank her when she refills my coffee cup, and I thank Areanet when they give me a damn fine update.

This is courtesy, and the grease in the wheels of a working community.

Criticizing people for thanking Areanet for the quality of the service we paid for is not the purpose of this thread.

Congratulations, Anet, on a masterful update. Now if chapter two continues this level of quality, I think I may be turned into a jibbering mess for good reasons

Anyway, come on 5pm, only 4 hours to go and I can leave work and go to Sorrows Furnace again.

I dunno, I can clap with 1 hand just fine. Of course, it involves me flopping said hand around like a dead fish, but that's beside the point. The point is, I can clap with 1 hand and type criticisms (hopefully constructive) with the other.

Ex Animo · Sep 12, 2005, 02:05 AM // 02:05

GOOD WORK ! , i like my thanks to be more then just for the update. But for the game it selfe.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

LOVE YOU ALL AT ANET

"Thankyou's from company to customer, or employee to employer can go a long way, yes. But thankyou's from customer to company, or employer to employee mean close to nothing."

Okay, I'll give up my lurking to post my thank you to Anet for this great game and the summer update. And to respond to the quote above.

I work in customer service and when a customer takes the time to ask for a supervisor to pass along a compliment to either a rep or our company, I am happy to take the time to listen. The compliments go up the food chain and back down to recognize great service in front of peers.

While we certainly take the complaints seriously and act on them, it's a lot nicer(and more rare) to get a thank you or an "atta boy".

So, thanks again.

Great update, horrible timing =P

I believe a lot of your children are in school now, unable to enjoy as much as they should....but hey, its cool.

Shadowdaemon · Sep 12, 2005, 05:17 AM // 05:17

awesome job on the update, i would have been happy with a crappy one

you've outdone yourselves, and its free!!!!!!!!!

nice work

theVariable · Sep 12, 2005, 05:25 AM // 05:25

Very enjoyable update. I lost a good amount of sleep Wednesday night

Thank you!

Arkayne · Sep 12, 2005, 04:14 PM // 16:14

Excellent, I knew there were lurkers out there who are having a blast playing the game. Just kind of depressing to see all the complaints posted
