Guild Wars 2

I know thousands of people will be flocking to post suggestions for skills and profession updates and you’ll all be busy trying to read and discuss them all but I wanted to stop a moment and ask a very simple but important question before I go spewing the literally hundreds of things I’ve wanted to say. This question is of course;

What are YOUR plans as Devs for the professions?

1.) Obviously would be to fix all the bugs that are plaguing many of the professions claiming to be weak or very role specific.

But what about after that?

Will Ranger pets ever be able to move and attack? (Probably the one major thing that really turned not only GW but now GW2 players away from the pet class.) Do you even want them to? Can we expect some of their more “iffy” weapons [cough] “Greatsword” [cough] to get any buffs?

Will the Mesmer ever get a way to distinguish clones from phantasms when it comes to shattering? Or as Devs did u deem this would be too powerful despite the relative squishy-ness of all Illusions?

Can the Eles expect any trait reworking or skill updates that encourage attun. swapping or combo usage? (Weapon sets seem to focus on 1 of the other “Finisher” or “Field” limiting the classes ability to naturally combo with itself which seems to be it’s main saving grace. Also, a large portion of the traits only seem to discourage swapping sadly with an exception to the awesome Arcane line:3)

Etc…

Those were just some of a few random questions I wanted to throw out to get a conversation going if you did happen to respond to this post. If a Dev does happen to respond to it don’t feel like you have to answer those specific question or anything. I just wanted to see where all the professions stand in your eyes as Devs. I ask mainly because I have still yet to pick a class to main because I love many things about many diff classes but they all seem to have those “wth, that doesn’t seem to fit there” skills or traits that eventually bug me enough to change characters again.

But if I can suggest 1 thing really quickly it’s this: Please, for all future updates include specific details as to why skill changes were made and what you were hoping to accomplish with them.

Thank you very much for reading and I hope everyone has a good night!

Sure enough, I over did it. I can’t post it here because, well, its too big. I downloaded google-doc in hopes of being able to just share the link and letting everyone read it on there as that seemed to be the easiest route. Hopefully this works.

1 more slot.. just in case I over do it… xD

Just a FYI. I don’t think I have ever seen a dev post anything in this sub-forum since it’s creation… Leads me to think they made this sub-forum to get our suggestions out of the way…

Well it isn’t like they can all swoop in and post on ideas they like, that would give away possible future skill updates surprises! xD I have little faith they will respond but I always like to hear from them when they do.

Also I just tried to edit one of my posts after a good 2 hours of writing and formatting and it didn’t save.. curse you you fluffy kitten forums! I’m going to head to bed and try to re-do it tomorrow. I’m too discouraged atm. QQ

+highfive for late night forum tinkering! I plan to eventually be updating these with more suggestions for other professions as time goes on but for now, at least that part is done.
