Thanks to all of you for responding this way. While I did ask for posts about what you _ enjoyed _ in the episode, there were some posts here that ignored that option and chose to, _as usual_, condemn the patch in it's entirety. Everyone has the right to express their opinion, good, bad, or indifferent. It is a human right, a human ability, and I will never condemn someone for having a different point of view. However, I would like to offer this little chestnut of advice: Before you begin setting the game on fire and condemning the developers of the game you play for not making the game you play the way you want it EXACTLY the way you want it... 1: If you know how to make the game better, then do that instead. obtain the knowledge, get the job, and do the work. 2. Do not assume that the way you want the game is the same as the way everyone wants the game to be. as it is shown above, there are people that actually enjoyed the very episode you are so quick to condemn. 3. The developers of this game bust their butts every single day to deliver the best version of the game that they can. they do what they can when they can and i would like to think that their work does deserve some respect. we are playing the game they developed. it is not the other way around. 4. As said 1000 times before... If you don't like the episode... don't play it. or at the very least, do not ruin it for those who do like it. again... thanks.

so... unlike the vast majority of responses I have read here? I actually enjoyed the content. I enjoyed the fact that Anet was trying to do something different. I enjoyed the fact that there were voices that i could hear attached to the speech boxes I could read. I enjoyed the inclusion of instances in Rata Sum, Gendarren, Metrica, and Brisban, and I enjoyed the fact that while the instances were placed in an open world setting, they did not interfere with other players that have not gotten that far with the Icebrood Saga, which from a lore perspective, makes a bit of sense. I enjoyed how they explained Primordus' awakening through the usage of the minions. I enjoyed the pulling together of different factions from all over Tyria to face a much bigger threat than Jormag. I enjoyed the plot twist of us siding with something we originally intended on putting "back to sleep". Regarding the Combat, I actually like the way the fights are staged and set up with a champ at each end, and each champ having separate mechanics to them. Could they have been better? I cannot answer that. I am not a Game Developer, and I have Zero Knowledge on how to create a combat system in an MMO. Therefore I do not have the right to judge those that can do something I have no knowledge of. I had fun playing a game. I enjoyed the game I was playing. I will likely play the game some more. What I will not do... Is pass judgement on things I do not have the technical knowledge of, nor will I attempt to criticize Those that can do a job that I cannot do. If I was so bold to pass that form of judgement, I would be a bit hypocritical... as I am playing the very game I am passing judgement on. I am stating my opinion. Agree with it... disagree with it... you are welcome to do both or neither. I happen to like playing Guild Wars 2. so there.
