[sorudo]

it's bin almost a year since GW2 launched so it's good time to see how ppl thing about GW2, the survey is completely neutral so no hidden agenda.

First question: when creating a human character... really? I was debating not to have a human character at all, and only got one because I wanted to play the storyline.

Also, not enough question about how GW2 is better than GW1.

Asking what frustrates you the most during character creation does not seem like a neutral question to me...

[Alaris]

Indeed.

I answered the questions, but I'll be upset if you go from there and say GW2 is worse than GW1 because I much prefer GW2.

[sorudo]

actually both games have there ups and downs, this survey has nothing to do about how good GW1 or 2 is.
it's to see what ppl think about GW2 till now, nothing more.
it just makes it easier to tune surrections to the data ppl already show, no use suggesting anything when most ppl are against it.

It's hard to say accurately how much we like GW2 when so many questions are negative like that, and so few positive.

To give a few examples, here's a few questions of yours reworded neutral, and how I would have answered them:

When creating a character, what did you like / dislike?
I liked the personal story questions, as well as the many choices of hairstyle, skins, and race-specific features. (note: I think character creation was overall good, even though I think more hairstyles would be nice)

Do you think dynamic events are an improvement over quests?
yes, absolutely

Do you think personal stories are an improvement over missions?
yes and no

What would you import from GW1 to GW2 and why?
Dual profession, server architecture, henchmen (at least in low-population areas)

What would you import from GW2 to GW1 and why?
Weapon-specific skill and weapon swap, playable races, dynamic events

I have 1 of each race, what the hell do I select? Selecting some will break your statistics, selecting none will too.

I haven't played all professions. Maybe add an option for that. I just selected 3 on the ones I haven't played.


On a side note, I'm glad that wasn't an official survey. For some reasons.
Can we see the results somewhere? I'm interested :)
