  1. Skills – I’d like to have the ability to change our skill set like in GW1. That’s what was so great about GW1, even though the max lvl was 20, you could create hundreds and hundreds of builds. That really was one of the best parts about GW1 for me. 1319 skills in GW1 to choose from. In GW2, it doesn’t have to be that extensive, but just add a few more options would be a great start. Make it like our class traits are but for weapons, allow us to choose more than the cookie cutter default weapon skill set, for example, say for greatsword, if we don’t want 100 blades, allow us to purchase a new skill for that slot with a skill point. I know this isn’t an easy thing to just implement, but it’s just a suggestion and I appreciate all the work the devs have already put into the game.
  2. Armor – Regarding armor, it’s so bland. IMO the best looking armor is the Charr’s. Pauldrons look way too big on humans, like they where meant for other races. More armor sets would be awesome, and (make them actually look cool). This would probably be in an expansion. No offense intended, it’s just not my style taste in armor design (specifically for male humans).
  3. Character – More customization of our characters after creation. Like hair style change/color change (a barber shop or something), ability to dye our weapons. Can’t find a shield that matches my armor, not a big deal, but it would def make some of us feel better. ^^; Oh yeah, and tattoos looks awesome on Norns, can other classes have that as an option too? lol. (Tattoo parlor?)

GW1 has really spoiled us. Other than that, just fixing the current broken skills in-game would make the game a home-run for me. (Like fast hands on warriors)

1. This would completely destroy weapon swapping during combat and thus make alot of the skills and traits mechanics that REQUIRE weapon swapping for a buff useless. Then they’d have to redesign ALOT.

2. I actually like how grounded the human armor is starting off. Grounded in reality that is. Later on there’s some awesome armors that you gotta work hard towards. Don’t know what level you are but I’ve seen some crazy cool things in Lion’s Arch that make me jealous lol.

3. I agree with weapon dyes, it was in GW1 I think. But I think that a “barber shop” should be the MOST they go with the post-customization on a character.

I don’t think it would destroy weapon swapping, it would just allow more variety using a weapon.

Btw, I’m lvl 80. My character

Personally I really like that the weapons actually matter. What I would have liked is that different weapons of the same type actually changed some skills. Like the way pets have some unique abilities. Frost axe has a chill skill, Chaos axe has confusion. This can be handled somewhat with sigils, but I liked the idea of having different skills based on the individual weapon rather than simply its type.

I have no complaints about armor and variety, but more is always better. Love the art and creativity.

Yes, need weapon dye. I was so surprised to have such an excellent dye system for armor and nothing for weapons.
