Guild Wars 2

Ok, I totally understand the hard part of coding trought all the thigs already said about race change. So, here is my opinion:

In new MMO games, dev’s understood that grinding is not fun (hell, that was quite an evolution) and the way to the full level should be a time to master all the abilities the player got so he don’t trash about the pvp when they get there. Considering that, there is ABSOLUTELLY NO POINT, in making a person that ALREADY LEVELED UP a warrior to 80, to level another warrior to that point.

Almost everyone (I would say 90% of the players) regrets the race they choosed for their first main, mostly because they didn’t know the game good enought for just choosing right, and obviously, they didn’t know about the late game skin way of playing that is molded into gw2 … So, why you guys don’t give us AT LEAST a “everytime you delete a character you recieve a 1~80 leveling scrool in the next character of the same class you create if you buy a race reincarnation ticket for 800~1600 gems”.

C’mon guys, its not hard to do! You can give us the new character with no equipments, you can even reset the pesronal history to 0, and make it not give experience points anymore, so people can just envoy the history and no one will complain! For a team that is willing to create new content every 2 weeks it just don’t seem that hard! As you guys always stated, this game should not be about grinding! In that way i said if someone create another class character he will need to level it to 80 again in order to gain this privilege, c’mon, people that created their first character just loosed so much!
I got an abyss dye in my human warrior, and I want a charr, make at least dye account bound again and I promise I won’t complain anymore!

Please, listen to your players, you’re all good now because of us, make the game we want to play, not the game you want us to play!

Thank you.

Stopped reading at “90% of the players regrets the race they chose for their first main”

Come on guy if you want people to take this wall of text seriously and read past where I stopped, stop making sweeping generalizations using made up (absurd) statistics because you don’t like what race YOU made. Take it a a lesson and reroll like the rest of us.

“Take it a a lesson and REROLL LIKE THE REST OF US.”

Enough said. Ty for proving my point.

Way to take my words out of context.

Those of us that preferred another race at one point does not comprise 90% of the player base. For you to begin to argue that is completely ridiculous

I used that data simply from my friends playerbase, the important here is the idea, not the generalization itself, you’re just someone flamming for no reason. Ty for adding nothing intersting to my main ideia.

You’re right, and I apologize for derailing.

I am amongst many who have posted here with ideas for race change since the first weeks of reaching level 80. We have not seen or heard even a mention of this matter being addressed. If you have the gold or gems to get all crafting professions leveled to 400 after using a level 20 scroll I would suggest that. It should get you around 75. Most efficient method by far

No problem dude, happens …

The thing is, now that they nerfed crafting, and they are still nerfing everything to make new player’s life 10x worse the old player’s ones … If any friend ask me if he should or not buy the game now, i’d rather say no then watch as he discovers how nerfed this game was. It will end up like WYD, they nerfed it so much so that new players can’t even join the economy of the game. Fun fact, GW2 is commiting suicide and the only thing they think about is remaking Tequalt …

While I wouldn’t tell newcomers not to try the game, what I would do is suggest for them to play it much differently than I did. GW2 is a much different game than anything we’ve seen before in terms of content. A lot of games offer filler quests and fancy things to catapult you to the end game, whereas Guild Wars 2 focuses on enjoying that content up to end game, and regularly revisiting lower level content.

The problem and the disconnect occurs when you don’t find that out until level 80. If I would have known how fast that plateau slams into me, I would have paced my experience much differently. Now as an en game player, the last thing I want to do is go back on an alt and play the content as if I’m playin it for the first time. That experience is lost. And this ties in to your OP about race change – no one wants to reroll and have to do all of that content again.

As for the game killing itself, I agree in some regards. One being that they push this mediocre content over legitimate quality of life changes. One thing that makes me want to play a game is knowing I’m playing it, and not working in it. Sometimes it seems GW2 has many revolutionary yet conflicting ideas, such as single use, exclusive skins and time gated infinite progression dungeons (fractals).

But im agree, this game can be made absolutely astounding with the right quality of life changes.
