Guild Wars 2

Hey, my husband and I were brain storming and thinking of stuff we’d be interested in seeing for the game:

When you send mail, it should also open your inventory. The pop up telling you the mail has been sent is annoying and pointless. It would make sense if it was a check to make sure you wanted to send the mail, but letting you know it was sent and requiring you to click it away is an added annoyance. You should also be able to lock certain items in your bags to certain slots. When you switch weapons/gear your items don’t automatically fall back into the safe bag, so it gets cumbersome. Add the option, when you right-click on an item, to lock it to a given bag or even slot in a bag.

Weapons, underwear, backs, and face masks should be able to dyed. You could also make underwear like a swim suit, that you could chose to use when you go underwater, like town gear, not necessarily a new set, but a look that your gear could take on under water. Or give people access to the swim suits like the ones on the Southsun Island.

Temples should have NPCs like in pvp—pseudo-commanders that bring people together to help take the temples if enough people haven’t opened them after a certain period of time, or they should open on their own. Few players attempt to open temples anymore, it’s frustrating.

We were also thinking it would be cool to add an element, similar to horde mode, where you and some other players control a point—like a tower—and you get over run by waves of mobs, until success or failure. You could consider placing it in a keep and adding stages, so that you are fighting in stages, and utilizing siege better. There could be different kinds of mobs that attack, requiring some strategy in play. This is probably already in the game in dungeons, but this could be open, like pvp, where you can just join.

Another issue on this topic would be to consider adding lfg/a party-making system for dungeons (you queue up for it, and the system pulls in reasonable groups) so that people can group up with other random players for dungeons or put themselves in queue, instead of spamming /map and hoping they get lucky. This could also pull cross-server so that more people are pooled together.

On a personal note, I love three-toed sloths, and I never see them in games. I would dig either a sloth mini, sloth hunter pets, sloth mobs out in the world (and on this note, you guys could consider adding new mobs from time to time to keep things fresh—or a new class of rare mobs or something, because sometimes the variety of kills is lacking), or even a sloth back pack (you could animate that a bit, too, it could hug onto the back and look over the toon’s shoulder—how cute would that be?).

Another cool mini would be a luck dragon. Maybe for Chinese New Years next year?

Thank you so much for this awesome game and your time in considering some of this.

Ok, so you want to mark which items go in which bag. Right now they do have marked bags where greens tend to fall in this one, yellows that one, and exotics in another. You can get these fairly easily if you run fractals. They’re really good. There are also bags that make it so they never show up for sale to a vendor. I think this is where they are going with it. I wouldn’t mind a “soulbound” bag however.

Ok, so you want 3 sets of gear then, adventure armor, town “armor”, and underwear. I’m not sure they want to encourage people running in underwear. It’s suppose to be bland. As for dying weapons right now there are some weapons that are simply different colors of each other. I think the mystic weapons and the CoE weapons are simply different color. I do know what your frustration is. I’m trying to get fierce with my sPvP gear and I can’t find a matching sword because of the color. Right now if they were to introduce dye to weapons it would be on a completely new set. There’s no point in getting the legendary sword Twilight if you could just get Sunrise and dye it black.

I’m not sure this is an actual fix for the Orr temples. Right now the times to try the temples is nebulous. It makes it hard to organize even if you use 3rd party websites to know what the times are. It’s a shame too because they’re a lot more fun then those little dragons. I don’t know if making them easier would even help. Then you still have the small few making an attempt at them. I would just make it easier to organize and ease up on the scaling due to failure conditions.

You are suggesting a holdout event that any pug can join and assist. So not only does it scale with the players it scales with the duration. I’m digging this so long as you can get the scaling working.

Its what you got and it works well. Use it.

The holdout thing is all my husband’s idea, I can’t take credit there, but it is a really good idea.

The bag thing is kind of weird. Like say you have two sets of weapons on an elementalist. When you switch back and forth (this is my husband, playing, he’s more technical than I, I’m too lazy for this), your weapons end up dropping back into the first available slot instead of a safe bag. If you could somehow right-click on an object and indicate that it belongs in a certain bag, it would be less annoying. I dunno, some things are too much to ask for, but it never hurts to throw some ideas out there.

I see your point on weapons, but some are ridiculous looking, like the Christmas stuff, the colors are awful but the pieces look okay. A little more personalization would be nice. As for multiple sets of gear, why not? Or why not keep your stats but have your gear look like a swim suit when swimming. The game already has a breather mask that goes on automatically, why not have a swimsuit look to the gear, too?

Another one would be to change the search feature of the auction house so that one can choose heavy/medium/light armor, as well, in the filter. Also, the mini pets could stand a bit closer to their owners. Sometimes it seems like they’re about twenty feet away when you summon them.

Countdown timers on the spells would be nice. More slots for different currencies in the bank, including pvp badges and dungeon tokens, as well as more than being limited to stacks of 250 for just about everything stored in the bank would be awesome as well.

Oh, and a distinction between male and female Charr gear. They don’t need a huge rack (honestly that wouldn’t make sense, anyhow), but at least some form of feminization with the gear, some kind of major distinction (I get that they have tail fur, but the gear is exactly the same). Most female Charrs are lack-luster, at best.

Hey, you guys probably think I’m demanding, but I had another idea: sometimes the girl toons hair doesn’t sit right and either gets lost in the gear or just looks wrong, that could probably use some tweaking when you get the time. I know it’s not high priority, and I really appreciate you guys making a suggestions forum and reading/using it. Thank you.
