[2020] ANetCameron, A GW2 Designer, Responded to My Thread About Nightmare and Shattered Observatory. Here's What He Wants From Us:

EDIT: He responded here, check the bottom for the response.

/u/ANetCameron 's comment is buried in my thread from Sunday about fractals, so here it is in a fresh one:

Hey, it's really nice to see love for Nightmare and Shattered, even three years later. They were designed from the ground up for replay value, but I never thought they'd still be this popular.

It's my intention to try and take the best parts of these fractals and apply it where we can to future content (fractals or otherwise).

I can't promise anything specific, but I can take the feedback in this thread to future conversations to help guide our path.

What aspects of these keep you coming back?

What do you wish was different?

What could we have done better?

What did we do well?

Seriously, thank you for the support. It's been a tough year and seeing this post today really lifts the spirits. Y'all are awesome.

There's the quote. Hoping this will be more visible than a comment in a day-old thread with 150+ comments.

I really appreciate his response and am glad to see that fractals are still being worked on!

Link to the thread I'm referencing: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/dhbfa7/the_nightmare_and_shattered_observatory_are_peak/

He asked us to respond there, so I'd do that and respond here too if you want. More visibility for FRACTALS!

EDIT: /u/ANetCameron responded here:

Y'all are awesome. I wish I had time to respond to each comment individually, maybe later this week, but for now I just wanted to say thank you so much for this support. I'm reading all of this. Your voices are heard.

Like I said in my original response, I can't promise anything, but I will carry your thoughts, ideas and values into future conversations.

Thanks everyone. Happy Halloween! :)

Good job everyone, we did it. Let's look forward to the future!
