That was hard to read for sure.
I'm 48 so not far off your age but I can infer from your post OP that you aren't happy about some of the balance changes. They aren't perfect but there were too many balance issues; Frozen Citrons outsniping Cacti, Super Brainz beams crisscrossing the map at long range, etc. These needed to be dealt with and they're actually doing a good job overall. And some things like the changes made to Super Brainz's kick got fixed almost right away when it was changed recently. In a competitive game like this you're always going to have people crying for and against their favorite characters.
It's important to note that this isn't solely a GW problem, it's endemic to competitive shooters. Overwatch is still undergoing big changes, look at what happened to Mercy as a prime example. Paladins is constantly fixing things since they release champions far before they're really ready and any time you have characters with vastly different abilities in games like this there will be problems.
GW2 isn't perfect but it's in a much better place than it was.
Oh and on the microtransaction front; I have bought them all and used to buy coin packs but my friend that I often play with hasn't spent a dime outside of getting the deluxe edition and the only character I have that he doesn't is the Unicorn Chomper. He has less stickers in his book too of course but he's more patient than I am.
- 7 years agoBoth Garden Warfares are fun romps; sure there are some bumps/hiccups in the road, but from a company that transitioned a tower defense game to 3rd person shooter is quite impressive. As a look back, https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1015541/How-I-Got-My-Mom
I agree that equal attention is needed, but it is hard looking at what the community "actually needs/talks about" versus "providing a balanced experience." Personally would love to see a GDC talk on their development process/ aftermath. - 7 years ago
HY!
First,I em not that OLd,but very,very YOUNG,my heart is young enough to play this game with my 5 years old son,who is really good for his age!
Second, i em not contra balance,game changes!But this the last Rose change(Nec Rose),from 6,5 to 7,5,the again from 7,5 to 6,5 damage,take my will
over the clip,really!!!Totaly...You could imagine!Then those penality for Brainz,you shot 2-3 sec,the over-heat for 6-7? second?But the laser is not the main weapon for Braiz(stronger),but is his bomb and close fight-em i wright???Then Legendary Rose,is too weak for me,even when shi is in mode!!!This is just my opinnion!
End yes,some character(like citron)in the begining of this game was too strong-unbalance....Obout 1 yera ago was game JUST FINE,like is now "The Division "after 2 year fight with developer and community,the last win,but still developer mess with "Striker B."gear set!And like you say,this is the problem with ALL SHOTER game today in tha market,GW2 is not different!!!
Obout mini-transaction,I Buy everything what i foud(ha,ha,ha..)but I have a job and that not a big problem,but some young population,whos not live in prosperity,its a little expencive-my opinion!
And obout new changes with character,I have no problem with adaption,but i think,that is the main reason for that,that EA and Pop have nothing to do with the game-except the last BIG UPDATE(coming this mont),so some time to time a little mess with the game,but some times-like now with the Nec Rose-total Un-necessery!
Sorry for my bad writen English,yes,I em not from english region,i em fro Slovenia-middle europa,end dont write so manny times,even now in the modern world(pc)...
And thanks for "REAL" answer guys and yours opinion.

- 7 years agoThe main problem for all game(special shooters)is that the developer lounching games TOO SOON on the market-manny games then have big issue with a TON of BUGS,bad server lag...etc!!!For example:The division came out at last 1 year too soon.Then all those game are unbalance,lot of bugs,and the happend like in Division,population drop from "History Record to to ZERO(some 30%)of the record.And after that,developers start to listen the community-WHAT YOU Wont,and the the game slowly start to geting some real shape-forma!After yera you have some better picture,after 2 yeras you get what you wont when you buy your favorite game.This my friends is the "HOLLY TRUTH",picture of modern capitalism,make money and make more money!Thats OK,but not on the bild of community,children,who spent a 12 hour a day with the console,pc..etc!And my wish in the end,game(GW2)came out in 2016,now we are in 2018,I think is time in 2019 or 2020 for NEW GAME,THE GW3!EA,take this of your priority-for your Home-Work!!!
