Guild Wars 2

Dear Gw2 Team

I wanted to ask a few questions and make some suggestions bout how u could improve the situation for all rp player s out there in the gw world.
my first thought is, and i know it may sound s funny, please make it possibl to sit on chairs, and i mean a animation which displays a nice sitting character on the chair, would help alot while meeting with other people, and would make people actually go into ur beautiful designed bars , otherwise they d be complete useless…

the next thing is… please finally fix the emoticon write i mean the /e i m waiting for quite a really long time, but it still doesn t work the way it should… so it d help very strong too…

the next thing is… if i drink alcoholic stuff like the norn beer… it d be so great if i could see that for some time, just havin my bottl beer and maybe can controle when i make the drink animation… that d be awesome

another thing is … to make a campfire d be nice, so im not forced to rp in the cities (im not sure if campfire is the right word, i mean a fire u can place in the world , which looks nice, and maybe makes u able to cook some flesh or such stuff)

im not asking for everything i d like to, because i know gw2 isnt a pure rp game, even if it could be (with more improvements), and if i d this text d be too long…

anyhow these are the main things i, and i think every player, would be very happy about

thanks for takin time in readin this, (maybe u do)

i think your idea of being able to sit in chairs is great. Of course the last three ‘new’ mmos i’ve played didn’t have that either. star wars the old republic and the secret world both have chairs in which players cannot sit in. and i think tera too, although i’m fuzzy on tera since i didn’t try to RP there.

i am not sure if its because its “extremely hard” to code in the ability to let players sit in chairs or something… or if really most players don’t care. i dunno. But.. like you, as a role player, simply the ability to sit in a chair enhances things a lot.

Asura can ‘stand’ on a chair and them play their sit animation /sit to make things kind of work. But the way female norn and humans sit doesn’t work because they sit with their “legs to the side” all lady like.. which means the ‘stand on chair’ then do /sit trick doesn’t work out for them at all.

To emote in gw2, you can just right /me instead of /e so.. write

/me felt her legs cramp, she’d been standing all day and would like to sit down, unfortunately all of the chairs in the land had been cursed and thus no one dared to sit in them.

would come out in italics and be prefaced with your characters name. in my case

DinoDoll felt her legs cramp, she’d been….

I would love to have chairs we can sit in. I would also love to be able to make campfires; this would make it much easier to create a friendly space that is welcoming to RP in an area that doesn’t have a lot of filler NPC conversation going on, as is often the case in the tavern spaces in-game.

As a side comment, being able to view more than one Chat window at the same time would also be a huge help to RP. My ideal setup is to have one chat window open that shows /say and /emote; a second chat window open and visible that shows guild, WvW and Party, and a third chat window open that shows other incidentals (loot; map chat; system messages; etc.). This makes it much easier to feel immersion, since it’s easy to scan my /say chat and keep track of conversations even when guild chat is busy.

I have a ton of other “would like to haves” for RP chat (chat logging or copying from the chat window; more built in emotes; custom chat channels), but having the option to have more than one chat window visible at a time would be a huge step forward.

Setting aside the chat issues and getting back to the topic at hand, I think the ability to sit in chairs and create campfires (or something similar) would be a fabulous step forward for RPers because it would make the game world feel much more authentic and realistic.

I support any and all ideas that will improve role play because that is all I do in this game.

Yea, for a game with such little endgame, things like RP become increasingly prevalent.

I’m not sure where but I recall overhearing about how Guild Halls might have chairs you can sit on and more interactive objects. One can at least assume Player Housing will have these things.
It would probably be too much work for ANet to go through the game again redoing chairs and such to be considered worthwhile.

yes i know bout the fact that maybe guildhalls r comin, and this would be really great, it d be okay…not perfect but okay, if i only could sit in guildhalls…
in fact its sadly true that the endgame isnt very good in gw2… and because of taht u should focus on it, but meanwhile these little updates could bring much more fun in the world… and …
maybe make the bars or Inns a little more lifely, i think bout… maybe a decent sound if u enter the inn or make some more inns in the world … i miss that really hard

btw… im a littl bitt dissappointed caus… u took the same sound of gw 1, which is really great but… its not okay for gw2… it doesnt fit to the world… sorry to say that

I’m surprised that both TOR and TSW don’t feature chairs you can sit in.

WoW, that old, old game from 2005 has it. So come on Anet, one-up that has been. :P

Though honestly, I don’t think that’ll happen any time soon, if it happens at all. But I’d love to see it, regardless.

700 gems gets you a chef outfit.

The purpose of the chef outfit is that you can make campfires.
