Guild Wars 2

Graphic Options:

• New Graphic Option: Ambient Lighting (Nighttime becomes gasp darker!, Sun rays in the day, Moonlight)
• New Graphic Option: Ambient Weather (rain, snow, thunder and lightning)
  I know you are capable of doing this – I’ve seen your fractals!

Right Click Menu:

• Why can I do guild management from my party? Guild management should be performed from the Guild UI not party UI.
• Why can we not kick offline players from our party? What a hassle to disband parties because 1 guy went offline.
• Why can I not right click a person’s name in “chat” and invite/join them?
• If I’m a party of two people, why can I not right click and join/merge a party of 3 people?

Report/Block:

• Combine this Right click menu option to 1 option.
• Clicking this opens a dialog presenting you with choices – select all that apply: block, scamming, spamming, selling gold, harrasement, etc.
• Give a msg box for people to explain why
• when “blocking” also squelch that person’s messages: I don’t want to see further messages. I don’t want to see the old messages (delete from my chat history)

Wiki:

• right click items to open wiki page
• right click chat code links of items to open wiki page
• right click quest, personal story, etc to open wiki page

Guild Management:

• Add a checkbox – Show online members only. (it sucks to sort by people’s name, etc but all the offline guildies show up intermixed)
• Last Online (enough said)

In Game Item Preview:

• Add Day/Night checkbox.
• Allow me to preview any item easily on my toon
• Allow me to preview any DYE in any SLOT on my toon.
• Allow clicking on the item in the preview screen to open the wiki page for that item.

Buffs:

• Move the banner buffs out of the buff bar – display them somewhere else. Also for other similar buffs. (such as guild claim buffs, boosters, etc)
• ALWAYS disply boons and conditions in the SAME order (possibly in the same exact spot. I hate looking to see if I have stability but it keeps shifting.)
• ALWAYS display conditions below boons; in a spot that corrisponds to its natural boon counterpart (in the best possible spot)
• ALWAYS display FOOD and WRENCHES together (don’t split; this can be kept on the buff bar)
• ALWAYS display class boons together (like if I’m on my guardian I don’t like to see my virtues all over the place)
• Increase the visibility of the duration. Sometimes the countdown is starting from 40 seconds, sometimes the countdown is from 5 seconds.

ANet needs to take this post and start implementing stuff. Especially the UI-related changes. I find it ironic that ANet have stated they do not want players to “play the UI” but so much of their current UI is clunky and works against the user in many cases (trading post, guild management, inventory management to name a few).

No one else with any small-nitpicking ideas to add to this list?

Well at least they could start with fixing joining/leaving parties…

Anyway, two things I want:

- Gear setup shortcuts. Single button to change between weapon sets through inventory. Like having the HP on kill/endurance on kill zerg weapons on “shortcut 1” and the double doom/stack weapons on “shortcut 2”. Having entire gear setups (ie armor, trinkets and weapons) would be even neater.

- Gemstore item for changing race.

Allow people in World vs World to kick offline members from party.

- Split PVP and PVE Inventory
- Skin Wardrobe- Nuff said
- Give us a single UI slot that can be used for foods etc.

I like these ideas.

About the UI, I like having the boons and conditions displayed at the same order. But I also think there should be an option for displaying all boons and conditions, that is, if the UI would reserve a space for all possible boons and conditions and shade the ones that are “off” (not applied) I think some players would like to disable it. If disabled, though, I guess the game should order the boons and conditions by duration. So you see, that’s very complex…

I would also like to second:

• Race Change on Gem Store (I know this will never happen because it would break the personal story UI)
• Kicking offline players from party
• Skin Wardrobe (PLEASE), much like the Finishers UI. The difference is that for you to apply an “unlocked” skin to a gear, you must use a Transmutation Stone. If ANet found a way to make skins not use bag space and make it simpler to just change the appearance of an item (don’t touch attributes and runes) I think a lot more people would be changing skins a lot more often (and ANet would be selling a lot more transmutation stones).
• Account bound version of Commander Tag. If ANet thinks this is too much, then it could be a Gem Store item.
• Any dye preview on any slot

Some new ideas:

• Please implement an in-game browser window
• WvW loot to drop right into your bag. Unless the frustration of seeing an unreachable loot bag was part of the game’s design.

I’ve thought up a few more suggestions

Achievements:

• Giant Killer (add risen giants, world bosses : way too few “actual” giants – I’ve seen this suggested before)
• When killing a mob give the offhand weapon credit too (for weapon master)
• Hide Completed Achievements Check-box

Dye:

• Right click and consume for another character (display only characters eligible to use the dye)

Vigil / Priory / Whispers:

• Once unlocked allow any character to purchase items directly. (Or the very least make the items Account Bound on purchase instead of Soul Bound)
• Could it be possible to get a quartermaster for these armors in LA

Map Secrets:

• Diving Goggles – Once found, could we get a personal map indicator?
• Jumping Puzzles – Add icons for discovered JPs. (and please put the JP name on the Map icon)
• Add a map toggle for “Map Secrets”

Game Camera:

• Add first person view
• Allow to change camera height (or at least while not moving – just a couple of feet up and down)
• Allow players to change their FoV

Friends List:

• Show Last on-line (just like what we want on the Guild UI)

New Craft-able Bag:

• Account Bag – If you give character A and character B (and C and D and E…) an “Account Bag” the items inside are shared between the characters without needing to go to the bank. If character A has a 20 slot, and character B has an 8 slot then B can only see the first 8 slot’s of A’s bag.
  (reasoning for ANET to implement – gives a crafting craze to gold sink the economy; new item for characters to profit from each other on; may inspire people to purchase more gems for more bag slots; and of course players would love this item)

Lost and Found Vendor:

• Has items that “were” available to characters upon creation (allow us to purchase any item)

Weapon Skills:

• Skill Usable while no enemy targeted (or within range): Yes/No
• Skill always to use max distance (where camera pointed): Yes/No (It is so easy to lose your mouse cursor; and some skills have such a short range anyways why wouldn’t I want to use the skill at max range)
  -or-
• Skill uses max possible range when selected target area or target area exceeds Skill range: Yes/No (I’d personally like this more)

New Graphic Options:

• Reduced Particle Effects : Yes/No
• Highly visible mouse pointer: Yes/No

I’d also like to 2nd:

• Gear Setup Shortcuts
• UI for food consumables
• WvW loot directly to bags

I don’t see how a race change couldn’t be implemented. Just reset the personal story to level 0 as one of the conditions.

Some of the above comments that I completely agree with:

1. Reduced Particle effects
2. TP Filters – PLEASE!!!!!

Additional QoL:
1. Allow me to trade with another user, not use the mail system
2. The mail system needs some work:

• Remove mail cap for party/friend/guild members
• Don’t auto-populate in the to: field if someone is close to you

3. Guild Pane clean up

• Show last online
• Show only online members

4. Achievement Pane:

• Show us the Dungeon paths/Diving Goggles completed

5. Skin locker or something similar to achievement skin locker

These are all really good ideas and hopefully anet takes them into account and gives us an update on what they plan to do.

i’ll throw in some ideas and thought i have especially when it comes to the UI ( which is poorly considering this game to be the hit of mmo’s atm)

1 Open/consume/craft all function on bags/jugs/superior siege, i dont understand why we have to spamclick EVERYTHING
2 Lock on chatchannels, can easy open a new one, adjust what channels you want to display etc but annoying theres no thing like a lock function so you dont accidently click it away
3 Party options in wvw ( why hasnt this been fixed after so long )

UI:

• Open new tab automatically on whispers.

This is a fantastic list.

My one addition would be a friend/guild announce chat channel separate from game messages. I never know when friends or guildies get online, because I have to disable game messages or my chat fills up with endless loot messages! How are loot messages and friend notifications still on the same channel???

Well, Basepi, the one thing they should really copy WoW here is chat filters. WoW would allow you to create tabs and filter messages on them any way you’d like. I really liked that. I also don’t know how much people would bash me for saying this (and that is why I haven’t suggested), but I would love to see a color or icon identification for the player class talking on the channel. I am so used to that and I like that information.

• Option to prevent strangers (and gold sellers) to whisper you
  I’d like new accounts to be able to only whisper to “mutual friend list” (i.e. the other person added you and you added him). Might slow gold spammers in whispers.

Or add another option above “invisible” that:
1) You can interact with the guild (chat and PM, and everything)
2) You can interact with friends (chat and PM and etc.)
3) Other people can NOT interact with you (cannot send PM/Mail/etc.) unless “whitelisted” (already sent them a PM or something like that).

And I agree with most of the things the OP said.

Could we please start getting new content that adds on to the map ? Lots of epic places from Guild wars could be used to add content. Would be nice to be able to have some new areas we have to get to by foot.
Starting to lose interest in Guild Wars 2.

guild halls. plz.

Esreyr, you forgot from your list to add category for back items to TP.

right now the only one I can think of that is not mentioned. Is add the option to link any achievement, so that when a Guild member says what are you doing you can link it and then you do not have to spend hours of explaining just on the location of that particular achievement in whatever tab it is in.

Adding my 2 cents………

- During the Beta, it was possible to use the mapped swim down key to dive under the water when you were swimming on top… please bring back. I hate having to use the mouse to reorient the view to dive down.

- Fix or add a way to order items in your bank tabs. Its silly to not be able to see all the minis of one rairty next to each other for the 2nd set, when the 1st right above them was ordered that way to start with.

- Craft mats in Bank tab sortable/highlightable by tier.

- Check off list of what each toon has done. Mainly for dungeon paths done and the like. I know this data is being collected, so give us a way to see it. Its hard to remember which toons have completed all dungeon paths. Also having this info would make playing other characters fun as you would have a goal to work towards.

- How about a expanded Personal Story list to help those trying to do all the personal story paths across multiple toons know what they have done and hasnt.

- Icon overhead to indicate which order you belong to. We go through the personal story, much todo is made on choosing an order and… then nada is ever done with it. You could also have specialists missions where everyone of the Whispers order in a guild can do something or special missions that are part of LS.

- Have the Pact be involved in the LS or is the Pact Orr only from now on?

Trading Post Pick Up:

• Please allow us to only “pick-up” some items. Currently it is all or nothing. (helps with crafting when buying mats en-mass)

Oh, there is something I mentioned in old post of mine that would be nice to have as QoL change:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Watch-List-improvement-suggestion/first#post3339231

I would also like to have Achievement line that consist of new and existing achievements that could give players Veteran status with the Brown Veteran Circle around their faces when someone targets. Maybe something along lines of general experience on game. Silver Veteran should be harder to get and also include dungeons,

Champion would need some bigger and a lot harder achievements and of course the boss icon should need something extraordinary achievements.

A ground-targeting option that, when enabled, would cast centered on whatever you have targeted when you use the skill.

Esreyr.6304:

• When killing a mob give the offhand weapon credit too (for weapon master)

Also, kills with any sort of environmental weapon should be counted towards your equipped weapon(s), and enemies that die to conditions should also be counted.

Love all the above

to add to one:

That “Lost and Found” vendor should also include old meta items we have gotten (gas mask, dragon horns, mad memories, etc to name a few of my personal beefs lol) since they will not add them to the achievement tab…and it needs to be implemented to where we can get our old stuff. I got screwed by the festival hat guy in gw1 because i had ditched those epic year 1 skins long before he got in.

Another line of QoL improvements: Fix Hair styles who clip with the character model in any stance… I’m using compromise hair selections over the styles i really love because the ones i like clip blatantly through the character when doing anything other than standing still with weapons sheathed… these longer hairs that hang down through the character’s body need to be bound onto the back or something (similar to Eir’s hair). Asking for armor would be way too much, i get this…but just keep it from hanging through my character’s waist while swimming (this looks 50 kinds of wrong on female characters), or clipping clear through my shoulder while in combat stance. Or generally hanging through my character at any time no matter what position she happens to be in (never noticed this issue with the available male styles)

the suggestions here are awesome.
I would take an update with just this over new LS any day.

I need ALL of these. Big +1, especially for the dyes being sent to characters on the same acct, loot from WvW being automatically sent to bag/Money bags and karma being consumed automatically, and the Dungeon/Dive Master tracker.

I wanna add real quick:
Can we have a Sent Mail tab? Also, can we retract mail that was sent within, I dunno, 30 seconds of hitting Send? Because I am very prone to trying to send gold/items to a friend and having it go to some random name. Often times, they’re nice enough to send it back, but I’d rather not have the hassle.

The ability to hide the green story quest star from the corner of my screen. I’ve completed it twice, I don’t want to see it for my alts.
