Guild Wars 2

So many are getting excited about the new skills right? Yeah

Many people liked the concept of actually earning your elites in Guild Wars instead of just buying them for points. I know I do. It feels like you’re Mega Man. Anyway, how about we introduce the concept of skill mastery in Guild Wars 2. I mean, we go on a quest to master a single skill we already have and learn the elite version of that skill.

Take “Retreat” for example. Simple Guardian skill right? Well how about we make it even more awesome by going on a quest to find a Master Runner. He challenges us to RUN to the top of a mountain and take down a formidable foe. After this he shows us that we have already mastered our “Retreat” skill. Now we can equip the Elite Skill version of it called “Blazing Retreat” which will leave a trail of blue fire as you run away.

Of course, you can only equip one Elite at a time. Also if you equip “Blazing Retreat”, then you cannot equip normal “Retreat”

Various things like that are what i want. I want to earn new skills by doing stuff not even necessarily the skill mastery you’re suggesting (although i’d find that awesome) but just generally i don’t wanna have to spend skill points on new skills as it’s nowhere near as exciting.

I love the idea of doing activities to get skills — activities customized for the particular skill. There’s way too much mindless ‘F’ clicking in this game (don’t even get me started on the abomination that’s crafting), I think this would be a good start towards more interesting gameplay.
