Guild Wars 2

Reset traits like in sPvP. If we can’t change them, then it isn’t really a customizable game where anyone can swap their roles on the fly. It would be like if in GW1 a monk got Smiting Prayers and was stuck with Smite attributes forever, unless they paid a fee at some remote NPC.

Free travel was also in GW1, but everyone loves money sinks apparently and not everything is an outpost in GW2.

No armor damage from WvW would be great, paying over 1 silver per death(and dying happens a lot in WvW) at lvl80 is worse than paying to travel everywhere in PvE.

WvWvW Loot bags are now given to players in the chest queue above the minimap and can be opened from there at the players convenience.

Hmm…
1. Equipment drops have been reduced by 95%. Chests drop rare crafting materials now instead of cruddy blues.
2. Crafting material drops are now a bit more balanced. Bags no longer drop huge amounts of butter and chocolate, and blue crafting materials are more common as drops from monsters that drop them (scales from drakes, etc.). Most herbs (Sage, Rosemary, etc.) drop one additional unit per harvest.
3. Crafting professions are now account-bound instead of character-bound. No more making four characters to have every crafting profession simultaneously.
4. Equipment decay has been reworked in order to provide a more permanent item and equipment sink, as well as encourage community interaction.
4a.Out in the field, weapons will degrade by attacking and armor will degrade by being hit. Heavy armor degrades more slowly than cloth armor to account for soldiers being hit more often. Items degrade less quickly the higher their rarity.
4b. Slowly, as equipment decays, it’ll lose stats. At 75%, the item is slightly damaged and loses 5% stats. At 50%, 15%. At 75%, 33%. When the item reaches 100% durability loss, the item is broken. The player is amply warned each time an item passes one of these thresholds.
4c. Death imparts a not-insignificant amount of damage on the item with the highest durability.
4d. Repair NPCs have been removed from the game. In order to repair an item, you must bring your item and an ingredient to a player crafter of at least the profession level required to make the item. They can then repair the item using the damaged item and the ingredient from the item’s creation recipe. We’ve designed a system where crafters can repair items without actually obtaining them, so nobody has to worry about getting scammed.
4e. When a normal item is fully broken, it cannot be repaired. It must be salvaged or sold to a vendor. We might add a gem-based item to repair broken equipment. Equipment obtained from dungeons can be repaired by using a mystic forge recipe by putting your broken armor in the forge along with a certain amount of dungeon tokens (a fraction of what it would take to get a new piece).
5. We’ve reworked most of the personal storyline to be less difficult: no throwing half a dozen enemies at you at a time. Additionally, the end reward has been fixed and properly gives an exotic item.
6. Toughness has been buffed. Now maybe people spec’d for toughness won’t still get two-shotted.
7. In order to encourage everybody to enjoy the gameplay changes we’ve made that significantly alter every facet of gameplay, we’ve done a partial wipe. Your characters are back to level one with no money, no items, no crafting learned and just beginning on their personal story again.
7a. Just kidding. But I wouldn’t mind seeing a wipe happen once they make the huge amount of changes necessary. And no, it doesn’t mean anything if only I start my characters over.

Edit:

Guided missile technology has been mostly removed from the game. Ranged attacks by NPCs that are “in the air” will now MISS if the target moves out of the flight path. This should allow players to survive if more than one ranged attacker decides its their time to die because, yeah, you’re basically toast right now if that’s the case. And we’re really, really sorry we EVER put this one in the game considering the insane spawn times, health pools and damage output of some mobs.

Oh god, that too. Perfect.

We have swapped button placement of Delete All and Take All for Inventory Overflow popups. So that Delete All coincides with user’s learned behavior of Cancel operations across all platforms. We have also added a confirmation for Delete All.

New Feature: Inspecting
Players may now inspect each other’s achievements, equipment, rank and traits in the Heart of the Mists. Inspecting equipment in PvE remains disabled.

Please no, Arenanet. No inspecting. If this is ever added then I at least want an option to block people from inspecting me.

- “Undelete Last” button for in-game e-mails

- Remove auto-switch between town clothes and armour upon taking damage (it makes me CRAZY when I’m running around in town clothes, fall off a bridge, and stand up wearing my armour)

- More varieties of town clothing available from karma vendors, or craftable by tailors/leatherworkers/armoursmiths

- Short “bio” section where you can write a bio/description for your character, which will be visible to people who inspect you (this obviously would require the proposed /inspect function)

I’m too tired to think of anything else right now.

LotRO has an option in your character screen to be “anonymous”, which prevents other players from inspecting you. I don’t see why we couldn’t ask for that here. ^.^

Almost forgot.

I like your dynamic event changes to Orr, I’d just take it further and apply it everywhere (in particular on chaining events and world bosses):

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Scale-Dynamic-Event-Difficulty-on-Success/first#post101866

Adding this would be great: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Allow-us-to-wear-previously-equipped-styles/first#post168176

As for the rest, I have faith that the devs know what they are doing.

Personal Story:
– Removed Trehearne

Forums: More categories should be added, like in-game roleplaying and forum roleplaying.
