> Personally I would think the delays were more likely technical, resource or cost restriction (or a mixture of all those things), all of which make for potential delays and perhaps additional funding which NC Soft could no longer allow because of reasons stated - declining revenue from its ageing franchises.. GW however, if the latest Quarterly is accurate, seems still to be profitable considering how its performed previously when working within its "expansion" cycle... the real question now is what can be or will be pumped into the game as it draws closer to where there is normally a spike in revenue brought in from the anticipation of and the actual release of an expac.
> If anything that info from CEO Songyee kind of confirms that the business has an ageing portfolio and they have been looking into other ways, other products from which its franchises could remain viable long term because the alternative would look bleak not just for ANET but NC Soft as a whole.. that to me is prudent management. Delays happen, business downturns happen and unfortunately for some restructuring happens.

U know I not really care since u are one of those ppl who need win every discussion

Not a super special knowledge but delays are often the result of bad management but ofc it could be always something else

Ok great ppl lost jobs suddenly without gw2 had a customer drop or an earthquake happen all was top case closed

I think gw2 would been good not to abandon guilds. Guild missions seemed a nice concept and inviting for community building I wonder why they stopped developing that further

Hmmm just fired 100 devs because they worked on other non published projects beside gw2 let’s start another non published project besides gw2 .... smart move I’m sure they will do that

Perhaps a fashion pvp mode would be a good idea where we compete in who looks better in leather or metal meow ;)

But what content they could sell u for pvp which would bring back played to pvp as well?
Because before u can make people want buy u must make them want play with fun. After that the list is endless of stuff u can sell.
Finisher
victory pose/ dance
Battle stance / relaxed stance
Skill animation/ colors (green light magic guardian spells for example)
Team outfits with ur name or number on the back (armors)
Costume arenas with chairs inside ....
Costom voices
But without enough fans it’s hard

I happen to enjoy fractals both before instabilities and after (including the latest additions). Build Templates are something and nothing to me, I am still able to play all my builds, create new ones so templates to me are neither here nor there.. but again this has nothing to do with ANET not taking GW2 seriously..

I enjoyed fractals when nightmare fractal challenge mode hit it was a real creative and honest way to improve difficulty. Instabilities where a bandaid slippery slope was not even tested before release how game breaking it was in certain fractals.
Adding more mechanics instead of gimmicks is a lot of work but they had not the resources to do it and choose the easier way.
And those are things now I not even mentioned legendarries who are still not complete even so they are promised with hot and if u remember legendary armor and raid wings all with a delay implemented.
And than there was the time when salvage all was not an option how painful was that.
Thinking that many of those are delayed because of an unknown and now never will be made product is such a mismanagement
The lag I mean wvw in first line the only game mode I barely can play so assume it is related to how wvw is structured.

I hope they saw it as an warning shot and take gw2 more seriously. PvP balance is broken, game is laggy and unpolished after 7 years, no build templates a full game mode raid is minority only, fractals difficulty is enhanced by annoying non fun instabilities so much potential so little was fully used
Hope they can get it together now

suscription for a 7 years old game .... gl in getting enough ppl together to pay to justify anets investment in building that system

After 40 years in management at all levels people know exactly why this happened , that this was going to happen if goals /numbers weren't met etc. On average in a corporate setting I'd say they've known for months in upper management.

Bad sign of leadership if the president is surprised by a development like that isn’t it?
-
Want to add as well my gratitude for the great game anets devs created

I’m not worry for those talented and skilled devs they will get hired on the spot I’m sure.

Genius u figured it all out how it was the forum who drained all that needed money out ! I should use another word instead of hysteria but I would get infracted so I move along now with a face palm....

To be realistic it’s nothing like a comet fall from the sky the issues must been known for quite some time what I read from former employees. Especially those side projects who never saw the light of a day.
And some costumer invested a lot of their money in the game and planing to invest more in the future. It would have been an professional move to not delay content.
It’s a shame people loosing their jobs because of mismanagement over the years
-
The leadership fail the worker pay for it as usual
-
It’s sometimes the small things who show the devs don’t play their own game...,
-
with obvious zick zack run patterns Anet are u letting pvp die ?

> Wait, what I write now may break your heart, but.. that's how it works. Builds are optimized for group play. It's the same as in PvE raids. You try to maximize the support/damage/healing your class can bring. It's a numbers game and numbers the important factor here.

bla bla we all know wvw is the bigger number win u can fantazise as much as u want how ur build carried the full zerg but in the end its 90% spam 1111111111 speedbuff
we all know that
ps thanks for ur advice shows u didnt even read what i wrote so GG
-
ppl dont have the numbers anet has and they know that an xpact is always a risk with many dont buy it and than leaving while endless free updates and a cash shop which is running well is more smooth.
My point is why cry when anet say they will give u stuff for free ? is funny also bcs i sense a lot people who complain here are the NO MOUNT crowd new=different=bad
How much faith do you have in ANET and future GW2 now?

GW however, if the latest Quarterly is accurate, seems still to be profitable considering how its performed previously when working within its "expansion" cycle... the real question now is what can be or will be pumped into the game as it draws closer to where there is normally a spike in revenue brought in from the anticipation of and the actual release of an expac.
