Guild Wars 2

I’m up for first person shooter mode in Guild Wars 2. I know it’s difficult to do and some players dislike it (since they are casual MMO players no offense!). I’d really like to aim with rifle, bow and other things (including fire balls, sword slashes, etc.). Headshots deal more damage… but I guess I’m dreaming since not every NPC has a head to shoot down. But it would be really nice if it’s in a special PvP map/mode.
Of course, my thoughts are simple at the moment and this has to be done with more thoughts, but I’m just giving food for thought.

So you want awful Skyrim combat? No thank you.

Maybe just as a PvP mode.. at least.

Why play a MMORPG if you want a MMO FPS? or do you want something like the mess that the Elder Scrolls series calls a combat system. Also the whole game is not build for this. Have fun with wonky hit detection and terrible hitboxes.

Well I’ll be argumentative and say it’s fully possible to have a MMORPG that also happens to use FPS-mechanics, because a genre should not be defined by it’s mechanics (but then again I’ve probably been drinking from the cool-aid, http://extra-credits.net/episodes/aesthetics-of-play/).
However I have to note that this will essentially require a redesign of GW2 fundamental combat mechanic.

Don’t do this. The people who don’t want it aren’t “Casuals”, They’re simply the sensible players who know that this would never work with GW2. The OP would turn the game into a crummy aimbot-afflicted mess in PvP and PvE alike.

Aimbot shouldn’t be working. Besides, if it’s only one PvP mode, it would be nice. You don’t have to participate in it (such as in Keg Brawl, etc.).
Btw, to make it more fair: everyone has the same race in a round that rotates.

I thought OP was gonna be a troll but hes serious O_O

Go play counter strike global force if you want this.

Why stop at FPS? I demand PVP modes covering all genres!

• flight sim
• trivia contest
• choose-your-own-adventure book
• alternate reality game
• high-stakes baccarat
• typing tutor
• open-wheel racing
• rhythm game
• dating simulator
• Roguelike dungeon crawler

Seriously, though, your proposal doesn’t really seem to be related to GW2. Ranged weapons in GW2 have an “maximum range” of approximately 20 meters and the game includes some mechanics (such as reflection and blindness) which would be confusing from an FPS perspective. You’ve already conceded that this game mode wouldn’t really involve our GW2 characters (since the races would be randomized). Essentially, it seems as though you enjoy playing FPS games, but that you’d like to be rewarded with GW2 items/currency/glory for doing so.

No Thanks, I like to see 3rd person shooter! I even wish Metroid had stayed a 3rd person shooter, stopped playing Metroid because of that!

Have you not seen Other M? The prime series went with a first person view, but Metroid went back to third person when Other M came out.

As for an FPS mode…I don’t see a point for this. Like previous people have mentioned, if you want an FPS, go play one.
