New Website = Forums?

[Deleted]

Too bad navigating Guru is like gouging yourself in the eye with a rusty spoon.

Lol, thas a pretty good description I'm sure it's a good site but someone really should redo that layout.

Would be great to se an armory feature. I still kinda hope there wont be forums tho.... well maybe max a support forum.

[Khanjin]

I don't care about official forums, because they're always a shitfest. Aside from armory (which I'm so excited about!) I would love Arenanet to be involved in eSports, spotlight good twitch streams, keep track of such events, spotlight other community stuff like machinema, guides and stuff like that.

Well what about server forums? ANet places such value on server community, I think it would be a great thing for each server to have a place to come together to rally people for wvwvw etc.

aye, and you would only be able to access the forum of your home server, so you can discuss tactics for WvW on there, would be handy

Now that could work

YES, definitely!

I would not be opposed to this....Quick! Let Anet know our decision!

but then I'ld have to go post on GW2Guru, which I won't

Surely Mif has Mike O'Brien's private cell phone number so he could be informed

[Durzlla]

but then I'ld have to go post on GW2Guru, which I won't

lol well we should find a brave adventurer willing to brave the wilderness of guru!!

EDIT: My bad blood!

Let's not start a Guru bashing, thank you

was just joking, I actually post sporadically on there, never had a post removed or edited, so don't really have a problem with guru

I'm not giving out a warning I was just saying before it would happen. Wouldn't be the first time

[Valeron]

Just having server forums would definitely be a nice compromise, I approve.

[Fencers]

Ah, looks like Anet will have official forums after all.

[Valeron]

Well there you go. Hopefully it's done better than most forums such as WoW and SWTOR but I'm not hopeful of that.

[Niwoe]

I like where they are going with the whole community building thing. Idealistic and lofty goals to be sure- but they have my wholehearted support for creating a mature community.

[DrakeWurrum]

The main goal is to be inclusive, not exclusive, to encourage collaboration between communities, and to generate an atmosphere that is helpful, friendly, and above all, respectful.

I hate to be pessimistic, but I don't see this happening. :S

[Valeron]

Me neither. The more popular a game is, the more the official forum turns into a cesspit.

[Fencers]

Yea. As you pointed out above w/ TOR and WOW. Both hugely successful mass market games.

[Snow White]

Wooot *happy dance*

And guys, don't be so gloomy. Not everyone here is exactly respectful, but we make it work.

I'm actually really surprised you guys have such little faith in ANet's ability to moderate a forum.
