I would like to make this post/thread for suggestions or re-emphasis on ideas that have already been discussed previously and anyone can talk about whatever they feel needs attention or a wishlist of possible changes/suggestions for the overall quality of life of Guild Wars 2 or any other areas of the game as long as it’s positive/constructive. If some of the things here have already been suggested or already considered, then people can throw out some new stuff as well
I’ll start off with dynamic events and active npc’s in general.
They’re great, fun, interesting and unique and I love them. However, for escort events such as the one in Gendarran fields where you defend Denton “The Durable,” and his dolyak from a few waves of risen, he dies from a few hits despite his name. And not just for that particular example, but whenever you have to defend npc’s for whatever reason, it might take some stress off if npc’s were a bit tougher, rather than having to revive them and fail the event if there aren’t enough players nearby to lend a hand if it’s a smaller group event.
-other ideas/changes/added suggestions?
Armor
There’s a lot of armor and new sets/skins that have been added because it’s nice to have diversity in the how players wish to style their characters with all the armor there currently is. What I’m suggesting is, how might people react if armor was culturally fit? And some sets fit well on each race, not just Cultural Armor. What I mean is what if a set of heavy AC dungeon gear had a different appearance and was racially fit on each race, especially charr, as well as gradually fixing clipping issues with certain armor pieces. And I don’t mean that if you wore a full set of the same armor, it’d have a slightly different appearance than if you mix n match it. The armor pieces individually would appear to be well suited on each of the races’ character models. This probably means a big redesign, but this idea recently came across my mind and I just had to get out in the community and see what others have to say about this. (this also applies to gemstore apparel and armor)
Thoughts/suggestions/changes?
The next item on my list is character voice/audio and dialect.
I’m just wondering if there’ll be a time in the future when Anet might consider developing additional/new voices for male and female characters in the game just so every male charr player doesn’t have the same voice as other male charr players in dialect for personal story or in dungeons.
Again, I’m only curious about it, but there are MUCH bigger priorities Anet has planned first, and I’m completely on board with that
my opinion on new weapons for each class.
The current weapons available to the classes suit them well, maybe a few exceptions: necromancer axe, mesmer torch, maybe warhorn necro, ele dagger. I’m not saying I don’t like it, because I love how they function with the class, but they’re weapons you might not typically expect your “average everyday caster” to use. That’s all.
Like everyone else saying this, I’m not opposed to making spears and tridents usable on land, not just in water.
If I had to give each class a weapon/weapons that they don’t already have, or introducing a new weapon, I might make the rifle available to rangers, as well as mainhand dagger, guardian warhorn, mainhand sword for ele and open-handed (weaponless) skills filling in the weapon utilities slots, mainhand dagger for mesmer, open-handed skills for mesmer and necro, ele shortbow, new offhand scroll for guardian, ele and necro, necro/guardian/mesmer scythe, maybe a throwable javelin for warrior, metal/chain whip for ele, mainhand mace for engi, offhand whip for thief.
I did mention a couple new weapons, but those I’ve heard from other players. It’d be cool if there was a 2handed longsword (not the current greatsword) and it might be a little more mobile and agile than the greatsword.
okay, I think that’s about all that I wanted to cover. It did last a little long and like I said earlier, I couldn’t wait to post this and get it out to see what responses there are to this.
