I myself, as have many others, were die-hard GuildWars and ANET fans that truly loved the game and had great hopes for the future of the company and the franchise. Now not so much, as much as I hate to say it I hardly ever even get on GW anymore and when I do it just doesn't seem fun.

I have lost faith in the company because of bonehead mistakes, which include the complete silence about GW2 (Heck, there were TRAILERS AND SCREENS of Duke Nukem Forever and look where it ended up), the bad balancing issues and lack of true content updates, zquests were fun until you realize you are doing the exact same thing you always did!

My point in this QQ whine post is that ANET is shooting itself in the foot by not saying anything at all, in annoys and unnerves the playerbase with the complete silence. Regina has said they have the game in a playable state and play it every Wednesday, great now can you please show us something, you don't even have to show us just TALK about the game. GW2 has a twitter page that sits empty; what a waste of resources.

they say they will have information about GW2 later this year... I cry BS on that because they said the exact thing last year and we got nothing except to hear the Beta wasn't going to be in 2008.

I know something will come out eventually but I can't say if I would care enough to even take a look. I know my feeling are shared by many others out there as well.

sorry for my stupid rant I just had to get that out of my system

Why even bother going if they aren't showing Guild Wars 2. Ok, it is a fun event to go to I am sure but if you aren't offering anything new to the fans then they will not care. This whole strategy to let NCsoft promote their games first is ridiculous. Guild Wars is an awesome game that has won tons of awards and millions have played it. Guild Wars should not take a backseat to anyone. I don't know,, I'm just really disappointed how us fans have been left out in the dark in this whole developement stage for Guild Wars 2. Sorry for the rant but hey i'm Guild Wars fan being concerned!

we should have someone take one for the team and break into the offices with a camera and start taking pictures, sure that person would probably get jail time but then we know whats up

I thought we already decided GW2 doesn't exist.

Well I would rather have nothing to do with GW2 if all it is going to be is nerf this and nurf that before I even get a chance to get in on the killing stuff. Paragon is useless now more than ever.. I should just delete mine.

So lets get gw2 right the FIRST time. Do lots of bata testing by actual players of gw1 and separate the pvp from the pve altogether.

And while they are at it, subdivide the trade menu into WTB and WTS so that everything is not all jumbled together like it is now

I read this a couple of times before, so I would like to clarify something: Every game in development has internal playtesting as soon as the engine is able to support it. This usually resembles nothing that a "normal" player would consider a game. Internal gametesting happens at every step of the development process - it doesn't mean the game is polished enough to show it to the public.

I call your BS and raise it by a "yes there will be" - if there is no information about GW2 before the end of the year, you can personally yell at me, point a finger and say "Martin said there will be information"

By "WE" you mean all the nay sayers correct? -_-... trollathron activate 0_-

Regardless No info about GW2 on Pax as stated above Aion will be taking a HUGE portion of booth =) but you also must remember there are degrees of information we might see something as it was said by Regina that we will recieve information about GW2 later this year

Regarding the decade post...Deffinetly this decade means 2000-2010 so yes you are indeed correct we WONT see anything this decade regarding game play fottage and a plyable demo and possibly screenies.. But how far is 2010 away... 5 month?.. long time eh -_-.

Instead of arguing and nay-saying about a project undersonstruction lets enjoy what is offered by other developer or maybe Gasp gossip about life on one of the moons around that big planet with 20 somethgin moons -_-

Plus read the Above that Martin has posted.. Putting his reputation on the line on a forum =) must mean something.. Ofcourse people lately are hubngry caveman that cannot think logicaly and think with their 'GW2 is vaperwure cuz ther iz ni ofoz aboutz it"

Mister_Smiley · Jul 23, 2009, 06:16 PM // 18:16

I'm at the point where I'm not really caring about GW2 now, i suppose the lack of information is a killer. I though Anet was going to be a total different company and really cared about its player base, but it seams that i was total wrong, they are just like every other company.

As for what Martin Kerstein said, i'll take his word on it, but most likely if the information isn't total mind blowing, which i expect it not to be, I'll be very disappointed. But then again with Anet, that isn't hard to do.

Okay, but don't forget - saying stuff like "No beta this year, or in 2010" or "No further updates for at least 3-6 months planned, because we're busy with GW2" doesn't count as informations about GW2.

PAX!!!!!
Man, anet, you guys are such a tease. Is this the forecast of the big wave? XD

Though, whether or not I'm right, I guess it'll come when it comes.
But ya' gotta cyber pinky swear!

I just hope that guild wars 2 keeps the same traditions GW1 had: Hot, skimpy, female characters and fattass warriors slapping each other with penis shaped longswords XD

Beware the pinky swear. It's serious business.

Ravious · Jul 23, 2009, 07:15 PM // 19:15

"Cyber pinky swear" should be added to this list (http://www.penny-arcade.com/2009/07/...-were-curious/).

Nodakim · Jul 23, 2009, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Ok,if you are not going to give "GW2" information at PAX,that just confirms my theory of you having an other project?
Because "GW" wont be getting new content anymore?
