What is it this time?

Ah it's this.

Arenanet will be doing some layoffs of its employees as part of new merger between Arenanet and NcSoft’s publishing division.

According to Kotaku, NCSoft CEO sent this to Arenanet employees this afternoon.

“Our live game business revenue is declining as our franchises age, delays in development on PC and mobile have created further drains against our revenue projects, while our operating costs in the west have increased, Where we are is not sustainable, and is not going to set us up for future success”

NCSoft plans to cut costs across the organization and restructure across the board, merging ArenaNet and NCSoft’s publishing divisions in the process. “The restructuring, cost-cutting, and strategic realignments are all being done to secure our tomorrow and to provide the foundation that will allow us to grow and acquire”.

Here is the official statement from Arnenaet.

We know you have a lot of questions about the future of Guild Wars 2. We want to share with you what to expect moving forward for the game. First and foremost, we are still fully committed to all of our players and ongoing support of the game. We will be moving directly from Living World Season 4 into Season 5 as promised, and we plan to continue a regular cadence of updates and releases.

We know Guild Wars 2 is important to you, and as our players, you are important to us. Rest assured that we are still working to add great new content to the game. We are deeply grateful to all of you for your support during this difficult time.

Good fucking riddance. Might be they will shut down both game servers so I will be free from this hell.
REMEMBER ASCALON!

>"[ArenaNet] had two major projects in the works when I was there. One was indefinitely suspended while I was still there. For those of us working on GW2, our mandate was essentially to make it look like there was the same level of resources devoted to GW2, when they were actually steadily moving people off of it onto the other projects.

>"It was bad enough that at one point we were told we could only have one cinematic for Ep5 (All or Nothing), which, given that it was the climax of the season and had more heavy emotional beats than anything else we'd done (at least while I was there), was devastating."

People still care about this turd? I assumed everyone with a functioning brain shitcanned it 6 years ago.

This is what they deserve for killing GW1.

1st game:
Literally a story how humanity needs to clench to life, after they are beaten and suffered all the hardships and disasters, they have no allies yet still treachery happens in their rank, there is infighting between various groups, danger from other races and "higher" beings, yet they survive with a glimmer of hope for their future
2nd game:
Dude lmao, everyone is a fren, fuck past conflicts amIrte xDDDD uWu, wat dis.. cute catzz.... ;DDDDD

Die in a fire, Nu-rena Net.

glad i jumped ship before the first expansion even hit

GW1 was actually good. I'll never forget adventuring through all the major campaign with just myself and my best friend and a bunch of henchmen(later heroes). It was like a glorified 2P co-op game but that's how I liked playing and damn it was a blast.

GW2 was just letdown after letdown. And holy shit the awful fucking writing. I didn't care about the world at all.

The game will be right, I don't really see it dying off anytime soon. Despite the decline in popularity in MMO's in general each game still has their respective dedicated fanbase and whales to keep it afloat. If it means getting more slutty outfits for asura then I'm down for it. Who knows, maybe anet will pull a riot games and do a bit more pandering now.

Last time I checked everyone was running a braindead condispam build. Also, the expansions completely fucked over any chance the game ever had at being somewhat balanced.

Good. GW1 was great, and GW2 has struggled to even implement basic features that still exist in the original to this day, while pandering to trannies and SJW whales that buy pretty sparkly cosmetics and le ebin mounts and legendaries. I fucking love Guild Wars, but I fucking hate GW2.

ANET received funding for lefty politics too?! Yikes this is all so disappointing

FF14 is still going strong. Shadow will probably sell more than HW or SB did. I wish it would die though since it's too evident now that Yoshi-P is killing the game and he said that he wants to bring back Eureka and Diadems with the next expansion.

I never played much of that but I remember reading about the class trees and how there were lots of variations based on what race you picked. It seemed like a nice concept that I wish more games would do.

that's what they said about gw2 until today

I had a good run with the guild but I've barely played it since the expansion. It's really disgraceful that it took so long to implement guild halls, and only two. Among other things. Still no GvG, pvp's a joke, etc. It's a real shame. Anything's fun with good people.

What's the problem here?
XIV isn't going strong, they're losing JP fanbase quick as shit and the only reason anyone gives a fuck about it in recent news is because there's an expansion in a few months. The game would be fucking dead otherwise.

GW2 was never going strong though. That should be evident to anyone who logged in. Not really the case with FF14. Public zones are still densely packed. You can easily gauge a playerbase based on how many people are idling in the main cities and BfA and GW2 were ghost towns while FF14 is not.

EU.
ESO seemed to have a healthy pop, but it doesn't have several servers either so that helps. It just has one mega server for NA and EU players. But I haven't played the game since the Black Marsh expansion came out since it ruined my char build and now I'm just waiting to see what the Necromancer is like before I make a new char.

Ahh I remember how jelly I was when class-mate showed up in a t-shirt with Derv. I couldn't get my hands on that edition.

Sorry user, I did not play GW2 and I'm assuming that like normal games it would give you some basic information like that.

the fuck kind of crazy experience was that
GW2 is widely known for having one of the most overly friendly communities around

please note that if you got some random comment like "/wiki" that wasn't snark, that was someone being friendly enough to let you know that the game has a /wiki command that lets you search the official community wiki for answers

Why does EU hate FFXIV?>

>Shadowbringers releases and brings sub count to a new peak
>"NO NOOO HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING BROS!?"

you're a delusional retard

>made it better
The story was dogshit, they compromised the aesthetic by making it more generic and they dumbed down the combat instead of fixing it.

That's what you make a tired gear treadmill where you're never motivated to push forward because you know the reset button gets hit every few months and then you do the same grind over again with nothing new or fresh added. Plus FF11 has actual utility skills/jobs. The way Yoshi-P dug the Job system in FF14 into such a strict Tank-DPS-Healer holy triangle is really stifling and even the most retarded people are beginning to wake up to that after the Red Mage and Blue Mage jobs were added. Well, less so for the Red Mage since retards were still easily bedazzled by the stylish hats.

>alone

Nice try scumbag casual, I WISH this game was as dead GW1, because this way there wouldn't be so many idiots playing it and ruining my fractals and raids.

If you ever play this to the end, you would know it is infested with the most absolutely genetic failures of humanity, which i don't blame them, since it was marketed to monkeys. The game is like 95% braindead autoattack spam casuals and i would be surprised if it ever shut down or die because of them, since they support every little shitty thing anet enables whales.

its also funny when you look at abyssea in FFXI, the content update that almost killed the game, and had the worst gear treadmill ever, was designed by yoshi p, so glad that they recovered from that shit and have delivered one of the best experiences out there

You're mistaking the mysteries presented in ME1 as a good story. Don't. The actual plot that takes place in ME1 is bad. The combat was shallow and bad as well. ME2 at least gave it some weight so that it at least *felt* good to play. As for aesthetic I won't go too much into that, it's a personal choice. I enjoyed the ME2 sci-fi aesthetic a lot more. It was slightly more generic, sure, but it was done better.

I only log onto GW2 for ERP. Sorry Arenanet. Unless you produce more slut wear I won't buy it.

I'm not going to even bother to buy Shadowbringers. I only barely finished Stormblood and haven't resubbed back after finishing Shinryu.

Epic levels killed that game for me.

Still has the best world and visual design of any MMORPG to date, shame they did nothing with it and are just letting it die.

I stop caring when they added ascended gear. Fuck the grind and fuck them.

gosh I don't know maybe it's because an expansion is around the corner and they'd rather announce numbers at peak times? Wow that's really fucked up of them, I know there's no other MMO marketing team that would use that exact same strategy.

True, but after some time I just got sick of particle effects. It's like after they make a map they have someone to sit down and make the map all shiny.

This. The moment they added fractals whatever desire to play GW2 I had left completely vanished. It was such a fucking stupid grind.

It's not like ascended really matters unless you're doing hardcore fractals, the state difference between them and exotic is only 5%

The balance will be that half their team will get fired lmao BTFO

>waaaahhhhh you don't neeeed it!!!!!!

same old excuse. fuck off and die.

You can disable the post processing, it looks like a shitty ENB preset at times.
The downside is that sometimes the post processing is done correctly and areas look worse without them, so you can't really win.

>balance patch
Expect nerfs to builds no one uses.
Expect thief and mesmer to be still #1

Why didn't they produce sub numbers a month after Stormblood dropped, then?

>gw2 cucks coming out of the woodwork trying to talk about their shitshow of a game because their general is fucking dead

I started playing a while after HoT got released. I joke to myself about how the world designers and artists did much better job at telling the stories than the writers themselves.

Last season was surprisingly good, though. They are apparently finishing season 5 but after that it's a question mark. Think it would've been a neat and fair story to set up conclusion in season 5 and it in one last expansion.

Many people here that shit on GW2 do so because they played the first and didn't get the sequel it deserved. Or got GW2 at launch and judge the game purely on what it was like at that time.
I think that A-net has been looking for a reason to let go of people since the incident a few months ago when a writer flung shit at a well known community contributor over some feedback.
They'll likely chop anything to do with:
e-sports - since thats a fucking joke anyway
business and publishing - merging with ncsoft, they have a shit ton.
narrative and writing- has already been declining since pre HoT and has only improved

I know they have 2 or 3 teams working on each living story, I wonder if they'll change them up to make it 2 teams but of only their best. They take 4 months for each one now anyway.

From what I played of GW2 i enjoyed it, i do wish they added the old classes from GW1 into it, loved playing as dervish and paragon

Judging a game on twitch views is stupid. Half the people watch a twitch channel for the player, if the player entertaining then it doesn't matter what the game is.

Dragon's Stand is an event map. People tend to like it for that.

I play XIV, why the fuck would I EVER consider watching someone else play.

No, I'm saying you should stick a loaded shotgun in your mouth and pull the trigger to do the whole world a favor. We need one less retard in our world.

Lead by example.

There are more blighting pods on the bottom level that weaken the boss more when destroyed.

If the circle method hadn't been so ingrained in the minds of players, we could be doing that section much faster by securing the 6 pods and then camping the preserver spawns.

And Balmung is so populated, they had to close off the server.

Map-wise there are two good maps, one that is decent and two mediocre ones. Rewards are always laughable unless you're doing the Istan farm or the Thundercock Dick meta. A new stat combination is available and it's actually good (berserker + boon duration).
Other than that episode 3 introduced a new mount that's Sanic gotta go fast tier.

Dragon's Stand is my favourite from HoT. At first I hated having to depend on the meta to access it but it's since grown on me.
This I agree with, though. It's easily the worst part of the meta.
ANet increased the price a bit if you live in Europe. I can't seem to find the thread anymore but I'm sure it's somewhere in the gw1 subr*ddig.

Ahead of its time for sure. The only real problem was how hard it was to balance, especially when the expansions rolled in.

Every living story episode adds a whole new zone to explore though.
And the expansions added 4 and 5 each respectively, the latter also introducing mounts helping you explore.

Sorry cutie but I can't read your sign

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

EU barely has half the population of NA, and they are still going to split the EU population.
Can't wait for the shitshow.

Mesmer still gets nothing more than a slap on the wrist as most.

the reason for the NA/EU split is to balance the overall server load from crashing itself. You've seen what happened at Stormblood launch with raubahn ex and df servers going down due to too much load.

Living world seasons are functionally completely different than expansion packs.

Which means no Tengu. No Cantha. No new classes or specializations.

She's a shitty writer who wanted to tell story through cinematics as opposed to during gameplay.
I sure as hell would rather experience story happening as I play through it than watch a cutscene telling me what happened after the fight.

Assuming you're telling the truth, hows future content shaping up. You usually take about 3/4 months between episodes so is April the next big release?
Is guild wars 1 going to get more little updates? I loved going back in for the canthan new year and seeing Shing Jea full of people.

In GW2's case, i'd rather experience their story through a cinematic that i can skip instead of doing story missions where you spend 90% of the time listening to characters talk and doing nothing.

making other races than humans playable was a mistake

-Every class had multiple builds, most having viable Condi or physical.
-Every class had various ways to use their own combo fields.
-Dodges and heals on everyone meant that many fights could come down to player skill, especially when it came to knowing what to dodge and what to eat.
-some classes like engi or ele had very high skill caps especially depending on build.

I've had fun with GW2 and its expansions i don't think its as bad as everyone makes it out to be and I think the exploration part of the game is better than any other MMO out there (though the main story is fucking garbage and probably the worst of all current MMO's and that's saying something).

Try eso

Turning it into a cover based TPS was not an improvement.

FA is actually still pretty active during weekend nights.
JQ is filled with bots sadly.

It was okay, but the real reason to go Krapzick in early Factions was a repeatable quest that you could do in a few minutes and turn in for amber, then go sell it off for almost whatever you cared to ask.
I pretty much lived off the fat shekel stacks I made on that rush for the rest of my time in GW1.
Otherwise, it was Luxon for life. LIVE FREE OR DIE.

I've played the shit out of both and it definitely doesn't. In GW2, you typically have 1/4 of the abilities that you do in WoW, and they're designed so the gameplay is spammy, floaty dogshit. There's a reason it's a fucking completely dead joke of a game.

I don't really think this is a valid point when it comes to combat depth, improved build variety is a bonus from a gameplay perspective but it's not an increase in combat depth.
>Every class had various ways to use their own combo fields.
I am honestly not all that sure what this means
>Dodges and heals on everyone meant that many fights could come down to player skill, especially when it came to knowing what to dodge and what to eat.
Current WoW has healing as well. It only really changes the meta of the game and I don't think it's added any meaningful depth or made combat more enjoyable. Rolling of course is something that absolutely does increase depth.
-some classes like engi or ele had very high skill caps especially depending on build.
I'm not familiar with engineers or elementalists so can't really give an opinion.

My main issue is that GW2 artificially introduced variety by limiting your choices (akin to Diablo 3) whereas before (Cataclysm?) WoW gave you all the same utility no matter the specialisation with talent trees altering your role and combat style and not choosing between skills you should have by default.

Engis blasting their own water fields 2-3 times for mass heals
Wars either leaping into their own fire fields to get fire auras or blasting them for might
Engis or eles keeping 20+ stacks of might up constantly by blasting their own fields

Many such cases, literally every class has a multitude of such combos the can do solo, let alone the combinations that can arise in team situation.

I thought that was implied

>Marketing spins don't last for 7 years.
??? they just add more and more marketing spin. don't be daft.

>GW2 is still pretty active.
Yeah, its the most active game after WoW, FF14, Runescape, ESO, Black Desert, Tera and BnS

Wasn't Tera shutting down and Black Desert only praised for the character editor.
You got any numbers for those games?

I think they're trying to be a streamer, but only with Granblue Fantasy for some reason

>SJW game
How does anyone thing that? The one sjw that sperged out on a customer was a new hire and was fired immediately along with the white knight who defended her, hell they have been writing the gay characters out of the story and even made the climate change metaphor from the beginning of the game more gray.

This game was the best during the 1st expansion when they made the world actually pose a threat, but the GW1 boomers whined it was too hard

I preferred it when the goal was to kill climate change by stabbing it

>climate change metaphor from the beginning of the game

What was that?

>Mounts in WvW
will they be as bad as gliders or worse?

-that one skank that was fired for insulting customers and then ran to kotaku and polygon to cry about sexism

honestly, nothing she says or writes in regards to Paizo or ArenaNet has any kind of value.

Gliders ain't so bad but whew imagine chasing down those non PoF owners.

It's mount, singular; specific to WvW where you unlock it but apparently usable in PvE. It has what looks like the jackal's movement skill and a maul attack to engage. It also can damage gates somehow with a different skill which obviously wouldn't be very useful in PvE.
Anyone without PoF will be absolutely fucked and won't be able to run with groups that use the mounts every single second they can.

Wish someone did it to /xivg/ to clean that cancer up.

>move to a red state when the majority of your team is liberal

>kill one, turn on the last guy
>lel i'll just walk off this cliff and activate muh glider
yeah no, they suck
not to mention they downplay the cool niche builds like snowfall runes

I saw the trailer. Mount speed seemed higher than normal swiftness speed, but don't think they showed off the movement skill (if they have one).
They could be OKAY if they offered some sort of mount vs mount/easy dismounting of other people, but it's pretty apparent they'll just turn into a tool to zerg around with a commander and blast down gates with 40 mounts.

loved the story and Jinsoyun an actual good female villian unlike GW2

Even Runescape is better than tranny-XIV.

Are you that fucking dumb? GW2 made $70m during the 2018 year, how much did SWTOR make?

>"We can confirm that due to the cancellation of unannounced projects, ArenaNet will make staff reductions," the statement reads. "This is part of a larger organizational restructuring within NCSOFT in the west, but the Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 game services will not be affected, nor is any upcoming game content canceled."

I don't know why I'm even bothering. You dumb niggers are here just to screech and blurt out stupid shit.
GW2 is shit, but it isn't dead.
You're all retards.

BC had the best raids, MoP had the best class design. WotLK is irrelevant outside of Ulduar, and Ulduar was surrounding by a fucking Naxx rehash and ToC. WotLK was the first expansion that started contributing to the downfall of WoW.

Hence the downsizing, Blizzard triggered the tranny purge this shit has only begun.

>record subscriptions
>higher expansion sales than expected
>new players on several servers
yeah nah, it's actually one of the strongest in this dying genre

hmmm

I was hoping I'd see GW3 with Guild Wars 1 combat and character building but Guild Wars 2 world design.

>Guild Wars 2 world design.
yes, give me more neatly fitted rectangular zones with exploration reduced to a checklist

GW2 was never good, this game honestly I enjoyed my first 1-80 progression and on a second character but the pvp was imbalanced to all hell and back and they fucked up the esports thing day 1. This game could have been THE game but they didnt listen. Not once, such a shame as I put time into it. Oh well, another death in the genre. FFXIV and WoW are next on the chopping block. Its time for someone to make an actual good MMO. None of this casual nonsense.

>fired useless employees = dead game
how did you end up with this conclusion?

everyone working on GW2 is useless

The game which killed the last vestiges of my ability to be excited about upcoming releases.

This vengeance is not satisfying, though. I don't want them to suffer, I just want my innocence back.

There's a reason why MMOs became like that, people just don't have time to play them as much as before. Audience for MMOs is just getting older as children have hero shooters,BRs where they can waste their time.

>people dont have the time to play anymore
>WoW in 2004 mainly played by 20-40 year olds that worked 40 hour weeks
You have some explaining to do, that argument doesn't hold up. Explain to me why there were millions of subs to WoW in 2006 when people worked 12 hour shifts and hardcore raided. Sure their marriages fell apart but they did it. You need to support why the modern man has less time to play when he works the same hours as they did then in 2006.

Did Rift R.I.P. too? I had a good time with it in the beta and the first expansion.

>abandon traditional quests for hearts, 99% of which consist of kill 10 boars and pick 10 weeds.
This will never not make me mad. They have perfected the art of homogeneous mapmaking. Every single fucking zone plays exactly the same.

It has under 5000 players remaining

>RIFT dying
>TOR dying
>GW2 dying

How is FFXIV doing?
They all need to die.

correct.

>How is FFXIV doing?
FFXIV is unfortunately still successful enough that it's what's keeping Square afloat despite it's string of shit games

guys dont worry APB is doing a battle royale were all saved btw

>GW2 is shit, but it isn't dead.
of course it isn't, they're axing all those staff precisely so it can stay alive. That doesn't mean that the company is healthy or doing well. It means they have to axe a huge number of employees and scale back what they were doing. This means mismanagement, or lack of growth. Neither is good given GW2 getting long in the tooth. How much longer can they live off it?

>APB is doing a battle royale
THAT GAME STILL ISN'T DEAD!?

Is not a time thing, people have more options when it comes to shit to do on a PC compared to a decade ago.

Work a 9-5 have plenty of time to game its just modern games kinda suck. I spend time in other hobbies due to how shit things are getting in gaming but I still play shit just not like I used to, it was never a time issue for me.

doing pretty well, and the upcoming expansion will probably buoy it for a good while
