Well i think that the personal instance lacks that personalisation that was expected. Since most of the time it resets the whole logic of it being a “personal home instance” seems pointless in my opinion. I think it would be a nice thing if you would be able to customize your home instance, as in having options to for ex. display trophies, move around some npc’s even add your own characters around it for various reasons
(ex. have your leatherworking ranger to have a small shot that sells leatherworking supplies etc)
Also, I think it would be nice to add a sort of ship mechanic. Since the undead of orr as well as one other dragon is sea based, then I suggest you add the ability for a guild (or even a person) to be able to purchase, customize and navigate a ship. for example
A guild leader could buy a galleon or a caravel, large ships that can stage up to 50 people, crew and defences and sail around as a powerhouse more or less, then you can have small ships for 2 parties of 5-10 people, that are more agile and fast but lack the punch of the larger ones
even solo small ships, like fishing boats etc, which can be manned by one or 2 people and can be used as just a means of transportation, weak vulnerable but servicable nonetheless.
You could also add other things like fishing or shipcrafting as extra proffessions
Also a wider variety of pets would be nicer, as well as making them more durable since they are virtually useless in a fight. I know the idea is to swap them in regular intervals but isnt that against the idea of customization? If a ranger would like for whatever reason to be able to use a pet all the time and have the other one just as a spare why prevent that in places like dungeons and wvw? I have invested my traits so that my pet benefits from being out (having the bond of the master and trying to get stacks on it) but in dungeons that trait is virtually useless since i have to swap pets so often it more or less means that i have to be without a pet at many occassions.
Finally I would like to suggest that you bring more of the good old guild wars 1 skills back in the game. I know that you are working on more skills but my suggestion is that you add a sort of customization to the weapon skills as well.
For example, in order to learn the skills of a weapon you have to use it, but what also would happen is you unlock the respective skill tree for each slot from 1-5. So that would enable the classes to greatly customize themselves and fit the role they wish far better than they do now. Also it would be nice to have some good ol skills like “Melandru’s assault, needling shot, or strike as one” not to mention more spirits, rifle skills, sword attacks etc, even have two handed axes maybe?
Anyway, i hope one of the devs gets to see this, i really enjoy this game and I like the way it goes, if only it was slightly harder (events are a joke, the only way to lose a single event is to be afk…even group ones are easy once you have 2-3 people). Those are my suggestions folks, i hope you like them, feel free to comment on them and/or suggest things. If you are here to troll or just flame then i feel sorry for you. Have a nice day
