I’ve been a fan of the Guild Wars franchise really ever since the 1st month of Guild Wars Prophecies. I am still very active in GW2, but lately have just been noticing that I’m looking more onto the horizon of what the next big game will be…
1) I was a big fan of the way they kind of tried a different approach than the “trinity” healer/tank/dps thing. I still see the benefit of this, but imo this is why GW2 has developed such a zerg type mentality. I’m not saying to abandon the idea completely, but I think they should look hard into making support a viable and FUN way to play the game.
2) Meta-events: These have become just silly lately. Again, just zerg fests where I log in, watch the timers and hop from event to event just auto-attacking for me free loot basically. I’m not a programmer or anything so I can’t say I know how to fix these. The server seems strained as it is on these(prob due to the fact that you can set your watch to them). This may sound like blasphemy, but add some variables to them or make them much more random so that they can’t be timed so easily. This would make them harder and maybe work as intended?
3) Achievement Points, Glory, and WvW xp. —- In a game like this where a level playing field is created by capping gear stats, etc there NEEDS to be a motive for players to continue beyond level cap. Here is where I think maybe Anet is working on it so I could be saying this for nothing. ’
Leaderboards will hopefully be viewable in game at some point and hopefully eventually will help mean something in the future. Bragging rights are a good reason yes, but a few perks would be nice if you could maybe earn extra a bonus on influence you earn for the guild you represent if you are top 50 or something.
Glory needs more uses since is it what you solely earn in SPvP
I haven’t done as much WvWvW, so I’m not totally sure what could be needed here.
I just had to vent a few things, because although I am still interested I have been hearing of a lot of people losing interest and not really being able to pin down why. Just wanted to offer a few suggestions. I have more, but I noticed some other posts already covered some
