Guild Wars 2

unless it has…

…capes.

No I’m completely serious, I am a sucker for capes. I’m bored with the game already, and unless capes come out somehow, gem store or whatever, I won’t be playing anymore. Sorry. Personal taste and all.

Though I am SURE many other players would love the addition of capes in the game.

Capes would be cool…

it’s horses for me.

I need mounts to work towards and collect cause I’m getting bored too.

Capes and mounts. Two things this game doesn’t need.

They need proper endgame, and not this add this with laurels, add this for commendations and 500000 other temporary time gated tokens and stuff.
Give reason to keep getting all the stuff, and not add 2 more temporary dungeons again.

Create stuff that lasts even if it will be difficult. Guild missions are difficult, but barely worth the trouble. Create dungeons for legendary pieces but make them hard so people having something to actually work for and when they make it they get the feeling they earned a reward thats actually worth something.

Capes are a nice addition but once you have it it doesnt fight the boredom (doesnt mean arenanet shouldnt add it though). Mounts have the same thing allthough I dont think they add anything to the game and shouldnt be added.

Ehhh laurels can be debatable. They are easy to get for those with limited schedules and they can provide beneficial items like ascended gear and minis.

Capes would be cool, but to an extent we can already show off our guild with guild tags, guild armor, guild weapons, guild backpacks(although ugly). They just need to expand the looks of these guild skins and maybe a capes in general will be added as a back piece, along with that a guild cape from the guild armorer.

The multiple currencies are quite kitten. First we had gold, karma, gems, and dungeon tokens. Now we got more tokens, laurels, commendations, and apparently ecto became a currency. It’s just a burden to hold onto all of that, especially because the tokens don’t stack beyond 250 so for dungeon farmers, their banks are just loaded with them.

Btw op, I would change the title before a moderator changes it for you. Titles like that arn’t looked upon as useful to the forums.

This.

It’s been a year since the release and nothing has changed… just temporary events and gem store crap was added. No more dungeons, armors, weapons (just a few but skins sucks really hard), class fixes, etc. There’s no incentive to keep playing. Laurels was a desperate move to make players log in at least once in a day to do daily stuff…

Adding capes and mounts won’t solve the problem, you will be bored again once you get it, it’s a giant snowball.

Yes, capes … because we need more clipping issues with backpacks, shields, greatswords and long hair.

I like capes it would be cool for my guardian and to rep my guild like in Guild Wars 1

I would like to have capes as well, I want my character to look more like what I want him to be AND I want something to show the awesome Guild emblem. And nope, I won’t use those ugly, ugly, ugly looking like ugly low level gear chest armors, neither those backpacks. Either capes or a chance to put Guild emblem on any armor skin you like, would be much appreciated.

Capes and Tabards… make them Back-Slot too… no clipping issue with Backpacks will occur if they use the same slot

How about… NO NEW CONTENT until OLD CONTENT is POLISHED.

Every time I see new content coming with soooo many daily hindrances and unfinished features etc… (if I didn’t have a lot of patience) I would have /ragequit many times over.

Rainbows, unicorns, backpacks, quaggans, retro, leather shirts… please, please, please… this is out of hand.

You know why there isn’t a All in One video game?
Because it’s a BAD idea.

(generalizing, don’t rage)
You want capes… play a Superhero game.
You want Pokemon… play pokemon.
You want 80’s… play 80’s games.

Mini games… cool.
Game changing content… please think.

I see these retro\super weapons (cool or not) it destroys any atmosphere or feel the original world had.

GW2 will be a second hand store in no time. Piles of useless toys added into a fun semi-realistic world to a spiraling out of control helplessly unrealistic world.

I’m scared of what’s to come.

Totally agree with you my friend. The childish thing, Anet tries to add in the game is ridiculous, quaggan backpacks ? really ? kitten T3 cultural charr armor fighting zombies with a plush on his back ? the “old style” 8 bit crap ?

I hope the devs start doing some serious content and not this childish thing because this game will fail so much, even in their facebook page when the game was released it has 1kk likes, now it has 800k… numbers don’t lie. We need content, new or old polished SERIOUS content.

GW2 should be 100% srs bsns…
We should have complete dark and dramatic gameplay, there should be dwarves and elves and high elfs. And darkness should come and overwhelm the world! And then when all that content is done we will introduce pandas! Wait…. Thats another game..

Everything about GW2 is humorous, there was funny non serious, not dark themes since the games creation. We have mini people as pets.. We have toy dolls and skritt.. At what point did you think this game was about serious things? I believe the majority of the playerbase enjoys or tolerates the things that you and a “very few” others complain about. If you want seriousness there is COD, BF3, Crysis 3, and probably some dark MMO’s out there that better fit your style.

I’m not saying it should stop all together but the original story does not at all go retro or would quaggan backpacks have belonged in it. It’s an obvious money grab (which is fine) but it’s almost a sellout to lure people in with a rich and indepth story and then turn it into pac-man vs anime one year in.

I’m just nervous that my over 2000 hours of playtime is going to be a total waste if in another years time the game has turned into Asian game show\pokemon\gemstore when it was advertised nothing like this… dragon fighting, lush content, a living world, etc…

I respect your opinion but you’ll have to respect ours too.

I think we have close to the same amount of hours, but in my time I’ve seen things a bit differently. I see people happy with occasional fluffy items and cute things, people enjoying a change from the core dynamics of the game. Arenanet tries to please as many people as they can, they add to the game what people enjoy. From their figures on purchases and such they can deduce what sells well and what people like. Look at the SAB forums, people loved the idea, at least the majority. Stuff like this is a break from the day to day. When you are walking through a town and see a giant charr with a pink backpack, I find that absolutely funny. And that’s how most respond to it, enjoying its humor, in that it is different. Even if we do not enjoy the content, the items, the shinys, doesnt mean someone else doesn’t.

And humor goes a long way in keeping players happy, far more so than the whole dark emo universe that encompasses so many of other MMO’s. You can tell by reading just about any posts from devs and designers that we have a light hearted and humerus design/dev team. They are bringing their work (not ours) to us to enjoy. It is their decisions and direction, and I respect that even if I don’t like some or all of it. It isn’t about making a game that other people like, it is about making a game that encompasses what the designers wanted to share with the world. And beyond that, it is about adding things that others can take away from the game with joy.

There is far more to game design, development, production, creation, than just pandering to certain people. At its core the game is the vision of someone else, and you either enjoy it or you don’t.

I totally hear and understand your points and such… and do find it funny etc… I just fear there won’t be a limit on how far they will take it. Panda’s for example.

The only real complaint I have really is the amount of focus on these things vs polish and fixes on the original content or wasted content such as Southsun.

Good post\reply though.

Capes? That’d be MILES better than what the latest update is doing. They’re adding something they call “Back Banners” – a stick poking out of your back with a flag hanging down from it. Gee… that won’t clip with anything! And it certainly won’t look stupid.

I don’t see how a cape can make the game more fun, It would most likely be an aesthetic add on like a back piece, it won’t change a game that is already boring to you.

well on the matter of capes. GW1 had capes and they were cool, but then again…a char wearing a cape would look absolutely ridiculousness. they replaced capes with guild emblems on armor, and backpacks. the entire point of caps was to display your guild. they do not need that anymore. and what good would a mount do you? you have waypoints. for fast travel which is much faster than any mount. Mounts in WVWE would be no good because those without mounts would be at a complete disadvantage also with a zerg, mounts would be useless because you have to move as a group which makes mounts useless.

Give reason to keep getting all the stuff, and not add 2 more temporary dungeons again.

Create stuff that lasts even if it will be difficult. Guild missions are difficult, but barely worth the trouble. Create dungeons for legendary pieces but make them hard so people having something to actually work for and when they make it they get the feeling they earned a reward thats actually worth something.

Capes are a nice addition but once you have it it doesnt fight the boredom (doesnt mean arenanet shouldnt add it though). Mounts have the same thing allthough I dont think they add anything to the game and shouldnt be added.

you know, i love it. since betas, people have been screaming “there’s no endgame!!!” these are, typically, the players who only level one character, as quickly as they can, so they can get to the “real” game. these players didn’t do the research on the game. they didn’t read or listen to the interviews with the anet devs, wherein they stated “we want the entire game to be endgame.” they don’t understand the initiative to keep the entire world someplace explore-worthy. and further? when they hear people like me point these things out, they respond with “well, i don’t care. this game needs endgame.”

truth is there are A LOT of players, like me, like my husband, like my guild, like many of the friends i’ve made ingame — who love this game, and play this game, for love of the game. we love what anet has created. we love the open world that’s changing and evolving around us. we love the plethora of professions available, and the myriad ways of playing each profession.

YOU say the game needs endgame. i say? you need a different game. leave mine alone.

I would love a cape. I mean, i’m not going to quit the game over it or anything, that’s just straight up ridiculous, but I will say aesthetically they’re a pretty big deal for me. I mean nothing really says epic like a long billowing cape. Sure its a personal preference, but they could always add a hide cape option, or you could just wear a corny looking backpack. Its extra content (Of a sort, at least) and it certainly doesn’t hurt the experience of anyone else. As for people complaining about it not fitting, its a fantasy setting with swords and magic, this is exactly the setting for which it belongs. Really how dense are some of you people? Because “another game” has capes, that by adding them here it will eventually turn this game into a different one? That’s insane thinking. Please, add them in, because it really doesn’t hurt anyone and there’s lots of people who want them.
