Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I love playing GW2. Kudos to the developers for a job well done! The following were enhancements that several people on ventrillo all agreed that they would like to see done to the game to add some quality of life to it…

Guild Wars 2 Enhancement Requests:

1.) Legendaries: Why are 2 handed weapons aprox the same requirements as 1 handed weapons in time spent to craft. It’s like were being punished for dual wielding…and bump up the damage on the legendaries. It’s quite the grind to get one, but a dungeon weapon does the same damage?!? Is that grind seriously for a skin, that we can’t even preview in the Trading Post?
2.) Direct Teleport to Lions Gate
3.) Right click to preview items regardless if its a link in chat or on the Trading post etc
4.) Be able to link items from the Trading post or from any screen in the game for that matter.
5.) Enable target of target and add a focus feature
6.) Add more target symbols for kill order
7.) Trading Post filter options. I hate to say this, but the trading post is currently so fail…
8.) When hovering over an item to gather, it should show the tool that is required to mine/herb/chop it ie. “Mithril Axe vs iron Axe”. If the one you currently have equiped is not high enough level, the tool should be in red lettering when you hover over the item to be gathered.
9.) Inviting players to group. If they use a funny character, and are not in my sight, I have a heck of a time inviting them. Should be able to right click their name in chat regardless of what chat they used to invite to party
10.) Looking for Group/Dungeon Tool: The game desperately needs this, especially for those that are not fortunate enough to find a large guild to join.
11.) Option to add the quest text on the screen from NOT collapsing, especially the daily quests. Having to click it open to check your progress multiples times
12.) WvW Jumping cool down puzzle timer?!?
13.) Dueling, please add…
14.) Health numbers, especially for dungeons. It would be nice to know how much health our enemies have. Display % or numerical value or both…
15.) Where is the gear for the cape slot, its almost non existent?!?
16.) More Waypoints in WvW or at least a run buff where we spawn if we’re are killed. Maybe modify that buff to fall off if you attack someone, or get attacked by someone… It’s a long run to get back into the action…

This is a personal request, but I bet other elementalist’s would agree:
*"Ride the lightning (RTL)" If I have someone targeted behind me, but I want to “rtl” forward, i end up RTL backwards. I also have no way of targeting myself so I can’t use the skill to move forward unless a target appears in front of me. Also I dont even have to have a target, but an enemy could be to the left or right of me, and RTL will target them and attack them. This is a great skill, but feels broken. Please make a way so that I can RTL forward when I want to, and allow a way to release a target if there is no other target in site, please! Sometimes after RTL, my character will stop moving, there feels to be a 2 second pause (little buggy).

Also with dual daggers it seems fire number 1 will auto attack, but water and air will only auto attack a couple of times, then I have to spam 1 again. I forget if earth will do it because I dont use earth number 1 often with my build. But there is no consistency…

What is everyone Else’s thoughts about any of the enhancement requests listed above?

1) Yes legendary is an OPTIONAL grin for a more flashy skin, and will always only be on par with the best weapon, it wont ever be any better
2) just click a waypoint there and you tele there directly if you are too picky to pay well go through heart of the mists, or wvw maps, so up to you to choose if you treasure your time or your money the most
3) in chat you always been able to, in trading post they said they had been working on it in past, dunno about the progress on it though.
4)probably an issue related to number 3
5)wouldn’t really work in this game due to how you dont need to have a target in first place to attack someone with most skills
6)yes please, more than 1 targeting symbol would be very helpful
7)filters does exist and they usually get the job done tbh
8)the tools them selves list what they can gather, so not a big deal imo, or just always use the highest possible you can buy and it wont be an issue, it not like even the ori tools are that expensive, and now you can even get the advanced ones from laurels too with a lot more charges on top if you dont want to use money on it
9)you should be able to AFAIK
10)well it have one (a tab under your friends window), but yes it could really really use a improvement, a dungeon tool no thanks though, as that been proven multiple times in past to degrade the mentality of players entering in dungeons
11)meh don’t care much but could be a decent addition i geuss
12)not sure what you mean exactly here
13)would be nice as long as there is a option to auto-decline, in the meantime though if you want to dual a friend pick and empty spvp server in the game browser and you can usually get at least a couple fights before other ppl start to join you
14)yes this would be very much appreciated by a lot of ppl i bet
15)is quite a bit of it today, and LOT more than there used to for sure, just search for spineguard on the TP
16)No, would make it way too easy to get back in fight after you die, making it impossible to push back enemies assaulting you on your side of your map, is a reason they are so scarce. If you want a speed buff at start have your guild put down a roadmarker

As for RTL, just turn of auto-targeting in options and it wont attack random targets you don’t have targeted

Also this doesn’t look like a qeustion to me…
