Guild Wars 2

what are the small things that if added to the game would make a huge impact.
Areas to not bring up in the topic would be raids/dungeons/story content
instead lets think about “functionality”

for me it would be:
- calendar system + alerts for guilds
- AFK boot feature for spvp (very much needed as we see in dragonball…)
- remove soulbinding and keep it to account bound
- revamp the LFG system, maybe even have boards put up in LA/major cities that people could “sign up” for specific groups (dungeons/wvw/events/etc)
- build saves (traits/gear sets).
- revamp town clothes…pretty safe to say it was a flop and the only reason people use it is for an easy daily achieve when its up otherwise….useless…maybe go back to the old system of costumes overlapping gear (doubtful i know but it needs a change)
- mini pet tab or way to pull them out. Currently they auto deposit unless you have an invis bag but its kind of a waste of space to keep tons in your “on demand” inventory. Would probably see more kicking around if we had a separate option
- account bound karma. All other currency is….so not sure why this one isn’t

again all small things but would ultimately make some areas more functional

feel free to add (or rip apart) suggestions :p

- remove soulbinding and keep it to account bound

I like this idea. I think just about everything should be account bound, not soulbound. That includes weapons, armor, various items, etc.

Please see my post about suggestions some of them are on there.

I didn’t post anything about PVP however i do hate afkers.

I’ve been asking to get it back since they killed my beautiful compass during the betas in favor of the mini map:

Give me back ALL FOUR COMPASS POINTS for the rotating version of the map!

The tiny little N needs 3 companions. They need to be about 100% bigger. And they need to stay on top of all the other edge-of-the-map icons.

This would be BEYOND huge for me. A compass without direction indicators is… nothing. I have been getting lost since day one, when normally I have a very good sense of direction. I am continually opening up the full-screen map, which is precisely what they were trying to cure by going with the mini map.

(And this would be so easy to implement!)

(Please; no comments about trying the static map. Believe me I have tried, but I will never get used to it. Every game I’ve ever played used a rotating compass, and my car GPS rotates as well.)

ALSO (along the same lines) let us please toggle off Commander icons, especially in PvE. Perhaps a reminder when you go to WvW “would you like to display commander icons?” But in PvE they just get in the way.

Commanders are very much needed for some PvE content like guild missions and god temples and so on.

Nice suggestions, i agree with most of them.

That is why I think it should be an OPTION to toggle on or off. You keep them on your screen. I’ll keep my screen free of clutter that to me is completely useless.

They can be handy, but they can also be clutter. Killed the fire elemental in Metrica Province the other day, and there were four commanders. I couldn’t see the icons for downed players, and a few people died behind me — I might have been able to save them if I had seen them. In that case I had no use at all for the commander icons, so I’d love to be able to toggle them off.

Commander icons also obscure things like merchant icons, resource nodes, and more. If I’m just out gathering, I don’t care that the person gathering next to me is a commander.

It would like it if it was my preference, not the commander’s, to determine if I want to see the icon over the top of everything else.

It would decrease the purchasing of items in an immense way. Who would buy any lower level gear and weapon anymore at some point? Prices would drop, make it harder to earn money when you get luck at lower levels, aka you find an exotic level 70 ring but won’t manage to see it, because people just switch old rings from their main to their alts.
I would say, remove the soulbinding on aquire for items bought with Karma and dungeon tokens, turning it into accountbinding.

Those ideas are nice. I agree with all except for:
