Guild Wars 2

So, for RP’ers out there, we know that combat RP can be difficult to play out. We’re all on an MMORPG where the game clearly tries to make us feel ‘mighty’ and ‘heroic.’ We get cool looking, unrealistic abilities and we have fun! That’s the point of the game, right? Fun. This isn’t bad, no, but when it comes to RP I prefer realism, with some limitation on magic of course. Regardless, RP combat is difficult in GW2. It could easily be solved with a simple dice command found in many other games, including GW1 I believe. A simple RNG could be coded into the game rather easily. I don’t have much experience with programming, but I’ve at least done that.

Alternative, of course, would be a dueling option that I’m sure Arena Net has been looking into with all the sPvP they have going on. Perhaps with both characters scaled up to Lv. 80 for the time of the duel, or a median of their two levels.

On a side note, I wish there was a way to toggle Norn elite skills rather than a terrible 30 second duration. Norn elites are, in my opinion, quite bad for combat. You can’t move whilst attacking, but some grant mobility skills. During RP, though, If I were to get into a fight as my norn, I’d like to RP the fight as a Bear Form! I know it could be a difficult mechanic to balance, but eh.. just a suggestion. Thanks!
