Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I love GW2 and i think is the most inovative game ever. Nº 1 since launch.
But there are some issues that I just cant understand why Anet doesnt deal with them.
Here is a shortlist of things I think Anet could deal with low effort and which would improve largely the game.
Feel free to comment/add new things.

1- Guild menu – Let guild admins see players last login
2- Commanders – Add guild commanders (only visible to guildmates)
3- Commanders – Add commander/squad menu: its so annoying having to type commands
4- Commanders – Add commander colors: just let commanders chose a color from a limited list
5- WvW- map view: on mouse hover add guild tag of the guild claiming the objective (and possibly current buffs – icons only)
6- Activities- Add group queue as well as solo queue.
7- Legendary weapons – account bound instead of soulbound
8- Ranger pets – keep names after swapping them (new)
9- Guild admin: add feature to send a message to all members (new)

Its simple, lots of people have same feeling maybe u have too. The GW2 is still in beta phase. They said many times. It will release, when its ready. That’s ok, but NCSoft said: I say when it’s ready. NCsoft needed the money urgently and it’s released. After a year we can say, the beta phase is over.

They don’t ignore, just lots of thing to do, some more important, other less. Just be patient, you supported them for a year, they will repay your support/patient. These things will do, just patient. There are great opportunities in the game. I’m really looking forward to an expansion. They need to do something quickly before ESO release. That game great opponent can be.

8 – Rangers – the pets stop loosing their names when we change them, and then change to original ones. (using 2 named spider, change to 2 bears, go back to spiders… no name!)

What a crap Chucky.
No game as big as this is bug free and Im am very sure they didnt ‘rush’ release.
ESO is a huge fail. Arenanet has proven that games like this can be free to play. I will never ever pay a monthly fee for a game again. So to me ESO is going to fail.

As for expansions. They said that they are thinking bout releasing new content (maps, story, dragons) not in traditional expansion pack where you have to pay for, but in living story releases. So also for FREE.

So please keep this crap and half truths in the general discussion instead of ruining a good suggestion with rumour based opinions.

OP: Some very good suggestions.
1: I agree.
2: I agree again, this can be merits funded.
3: I think this is a minor annoyance. I’m not against, but rather see them tackle other things first.
4: NO! I think that it would mess up the style of the maps and gets chaotic. I do hope that they will add the guildcommanders and give them a different colour icon. Also if in a squad, you should see the other commanders, but show your own with a different colour. (normal commanders blue, guildcommander green, your commander orange).
5: Yes, or even more, do something like in factions with towns: add the guildlogo to the map logo.
6: I don’t get this one. Can you explain more?? You mean things like sanctum sprint??
7: I’m a bit double bout this. I rather see a way to make soulbound items accountbound (soulbound on equip) for a price then make an acception for legendary weapons. That way it is ok to swap weapons between characters, but you are pushed into the direction of getting equipment for all your characters.

1) This is a thing I’ve seen people ask for, it is useful for keeping a roster clean.
2) This is a thing I’ve seen people ask for, it would be good for keeping a guild together without necessarily causing a server zerg.
3) I have not seen this, but I can see the value in it.
4) This is a thing I’ve seen people ask for, it has limited use, but some value.
5) I have not seen this, it could be cool if possible, but doesn’t really have much value.
6) This is sort of a thing I’ve seen people ask for, without a fairly significant change to the design of PvP it probably isn’t going to happen.
7) No, just no.

9 – The long time promised mobile app to go to the trading post, talk with guildies online and see everything from the characters (equipments, builds, etc)

6: I don’t get this one. Can you explain more?? You mean things like sanctum sprint??

Sanctum sprint, southsun survival or crab toss cant go in this category because there are no teams. But keg brawl, Snowball Mayhem, Dragon Ball, Aspect Arena or other team based PvP arenas could have team queues.

mercury. relax take it easy man. I just react to the Anet ignore thing. But u r right sry. That topic have a place elsewhere .

Azy. 8 – u r right. I liked to name my pets, but after a few tries and retype, i dont use, useless, does not work. I have 2-3 armor sets and weapons for ranger, I change my pets when cahnge my clothes, but i tired to renaming.

1-7 lots of player ask the same in other posts, but if we write again and again, maybe they will do faster
1, Guild menu, we need more than only last login, but first step why not lots of guild things miss (msg of day in chat, editable msg of day, calendar, different color guest/home server, etc. etc ) 100% they have a list to do with guilds. But it does not hurt to repeat.

2-4, commander. Honestly I would delete this feature, every who has got, get back 100 gold, and remake the commander thing. (Pve squad, Guild squad, alliance squad, WvW commander).

5, good idea.

6, very good idea!!! Other thing, sometime it seems the activites is server wide not a global like the pvp. the activity “globalization” would be as imporant as group queue.

7, yes yes and yes not only about legendaries, but armors, dungeon sigils etc. Soulbound = punishment because of you want to play with more than one character. You worked for the legendary, armor etc, this is yours, why so important to keep as soulbound, you cant sell it. the swapping uncomfortable ( travel → bank → character change → travel → bank), but at least you can do and that’s the most important

Although it would be great. It looks hard to do. I want a list of simple measures to improve the game.

I will update the list and add this one:
9- Guild admin: add feature to send a message to all the members

sanctum sprint, southsun and crab toss can ofc go into that category to but you wont have benefits from it and the blue dot is removed from your map. as it will make it possible to join a game with a friend so you can have some friendly rivalry(its stil possible now but a nightmare to pull off)

i can agree with anything other then 7.
any armor and weapon should be soulbound when used, tho i can agree that a item that makes items account-bound with souldbound on use is ok tho
