Merged similar threads!

Try not to argue against each other’s points – just respond with your own list!

Thanks.

Really nice responses so far. Thanks for keeping the formatting simple and the points concise. I’ll compile this sometime next week, but I’ll continue to check in over the weekend.

Hey all,

I took the positive (like) responses and made a word cloud. It’s not exactly perfect, and don’t worry, it won’t make its way into a powerpoint. I just thought it was kind of interesting.

I’ll make the dislike/negatives word cloud in a bit.

Hope you’re all having a good weekend!

Dislikes word cloud.

As promised, dislikes/areas of improvement! Same disclaimer as the previous post – word clouds remove context. I upped the max words in this image so the most oft repeated pop out a bit more.

Edit: Removed some frivolous words.

Just wanted to stop by and thank everyone once again for participating and staying civil.

This has been helpful for me personally, and it’s been very helpful for the team as well.

Hey all,

I want to clear up some potential confusion that may have been caused with this thread as I’ve seen a few posters questioning the connection between this thread and the Collaborative Development Initiative. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term, the CDI is a tool that our designers use to gather critical design-focused feedback on a given topic that we then take into consideration during the development process, making the development of Guild Wars 2 much more of a conversational two-way street.

On the other hand, the main intent of this thread was to help me acclimate to the WvW community at large, getting a grasp on the things players both enjoy and dislike, and with that in mind I think the thread served its purpose well. World vs. World is a very complex machine in that it caters to many groups of diverse interests and play styles, and because of that there is no absolutely uniform list of high-concerns that players might have. The opinions and information I’ve gleaned from this thread have been extremely helpful in getting my finger on the many pulses of WvW. My job, ultimately, is to not only communicate things to you, but to also act as your representative to our developers.

On the topic of CDI, if you’d like to participate in the next one, Chris Whiteside will be starting a new thread that focuses on improving the CDI process itself sometime today or tomorrow in Guild Wars 2 General Forums.

Thanks again!
