Guild Wars 2

GW2 is a good game. But IMO it needs some fixes (changes) and improvements. There are some standards in MMO industry. Some of them are missing here:

3W (WvWvW)

• There shouldn’t be armor-damage when getting killed in PVP in 3W.
• In 3W maps, we should be able to see full name of enemy players.
• Queue system for 3W should be fixed. People need to know what is their queue number and queue status. We shouldn’t be kicked out of the queue when getting in overflow map.
• We should be able to queue as a group for 3W. I had many nights, in which I was in a group with friends and we ended joining in totally alone and seperate.
• When your guild is “having and event” in 3W map (many people from your guild is in the same 3W map), then queue system should give you a special queue to encourage guild play and more quality organization in 3W.
• We should be able to see the current 3W maps’ status from 3W UI and also the queue status.
• Current 3W system should be fixed for night cappers or scratched all together.
• There should be a grace time, when you are droped from the game. If you get disconnected through no fault of your own, you end up in queue for no reason.
• Dead enemy players are currently the best source of intelligence. There should be a force-respawn mechanic.

sPvP

• We should get ladders and rated matchmaking.
• Weapon changing from inventory and trait swapping should not be allowed during sPvP play (rated).
• Team compositions shouldn’t be seen before match by the other side (rated).
• Observer mode can be added.
• More sPvP modes should be added rather than point-capture only.

UI

• Achievement window should have a frontpage which shows latest won achievements and about-to-be-won achievements.
• We need much more customization options for UI. I may need bigger boxes for skills but it doesn’t mean I need bigger fonts or vice versa.
• Camera angle is a big problem especially for Asura and Norn races. It’s because that one it the biggest and the other is tiniest race. Camera centers your character to the screen. We should be able to get the camera to not center our character. It should be able to look from a little bit more above for more panoramic view.
• Once I open all skills with a a weapon, I want an option to change the position of a weapon skills. I prefer -for some weapons- to have some skills in other positions for easy use.
• Tipboxes that open up when you hover your mouse over a skill should show whether the skill has casting time or whether it’s a channeling skill and how much animation time the skill requires.
• We need an extra toolbar to put food and other stuff to easy use.

Armor & Weapons

• There should be a special line added to the tipbox for a armor/weapon of which the appearance has been changed which shows into which armor/weapon the appearance was changed to.
• When your armor/weapons gets damaged your stats changed immediately. Before an armor is completely broken there shouldn’t be a stat change. It’s not fun to look for repair each time you die.

Craft

• The current status of general crafting & gathering’s generic korean mmo style should be changed. The mid-crafts are worthless. They have same stats with world drops and cost more to craft.
• All craft requirements for below 400 recipes should require less items.
• Cost of bag-crafts should be significantly decreased. Currently 20-slot-bags cost more than 2 orange armor/weapons.

Target

• We need to able to see current and total HP and HP percentage of our target.
• -At least in PVE- we should be able to see what our target is casting.

Gem Store

• Race change should be added.
• Appearance change should be added..
• Class change should be added but when you get a new class, your story quest should reset to beginning.
• We should be able to change Armor/Weapons that we bought from a vendor. Currently, if you mis-click and buy the wrong-weapon from a token-vendor, you can’t change it. Maybe if we get an item that lets us change the wrong-weapon to a change-weapon-item then we can correct the issue without ever needing to contact the support.

Karma & Gold

• The items that require Karma -while leveling- is overpriced. They currently cost for more than all your Karma that you farmed while your level and they are only “really” useful for 3-4 levels.

Trade

• We should be able to trade between players without mail and trading post. A basic trade option is needed.
• Trading Post tax is a very big money sink and overkill. %15 is really to high to make a profit from anything. It shouldn’t be more than %5 IMO.

Dungeon

• Each Dungeon has its own token. Because of this you need to farm each dungeon separately to get any item from them and since all stats are the same, the people only bother with 1 dungeon and don’t do the rest. IMO all tokens should be the same and same dungeon runs should get a real CD. Currently, the system feels like a generic korean mmo. (I have nothing against Koreans nor Korean mmo’s)
• Dungeon Group Searching Tool should be implemented.
• Some dungeons are faceroll and some of them are like D3’s nightmare mode. It should be re-balanced.
• Dungeon Bosses are generally easier to kill then the in-between mobs you kill while reaching to the boss. I remember getting wiped at least several times be veteran-zergs than on any boss. Either make the bosses harder or nerf the veteran-zergs.
• Drops in Dungeons are a joke. I have at least 70-80+ dungeon runs and saw only several greens and no gold nor any oranges. Blues are vendor materials.

MISC

• A real Combat Log should be added.
• Much more information base damage of condition damage and how it is increased, should be given.
• After level 50+, mobs seems to get over-HP. Even the easiest mobs takes “time” to kill. It should be re-adjusted.
• We should be able to inspect what other players are wearing. For instance, I have seen a good looking armor on some guy but couldn’t learn what it was because he was afk.
• Duels should be added.

This obviously belongs in the Suggestions forum, wouldn’t you agree?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions

This would best be suited in the suggestions forum. There is a stickied post in that forum (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Game-Improvement-Suggestions) that you should check through since many of your ideas have probably been suggested before, and is probably the best place at the moment for making such a consolidated list of suggestions.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions

85% of the posts in General would be great in the suggestions section of the forums, where people could actually debate them.

My response:

WvW

• Armor damage is intended and does make sense. No reason to change.
• Hidden enemy names is a design choice to promote WvW. No real reason to change.
• Queue system is being fixed…
• I have nothing to say about group queue…
• What? No! I want to play as well, not just those who have a big guild.
• I have nothing to say about map status.
• There is no fix to night capping… deal with it.
• Grace time could be exploited. How should ANet tell if you really DCd or just unplugged or reset your router.
• This might be an issue, though if someone plays a dead spy, that could become boring real fast.

sPvP – I can’t add anything, suggestions seems valid to me
UI – can’t add anything

Armor & Weapons

• Why would you need the history of your items?
• Damaged armor is the same as normal armor. Broken armor doesn’t give anything.

Craft

• I don’t see why this is a bad thing that needs to be fixed. And btw fixed by how?
• I didn’t feel that crafting takes too much materials.
• Bags are more useful than exotic armor/weapon, price seems right.

Target

• I don’t see this necessary. And imagine a DE boss: 2 players 2000/2000 additional 12 players chime in, the numbers change to 80000/80000. Do you really need to see that. The health bar is the life % approximately.
• I think this is an intended difficulty. You have to know your enemy in order to kill him efficiently.

Gem store

• Race change? seriously? How do you pull that off? Just start another character.
• Nothing to add here.
• Really again? Just start another character. How many times could you reset the story? Would you get all rewards again?
• Nothing to add here.

Karma & gold – nothing to add here (I didn’t use karma vendors, only for fun items)

Trade

• There is no need for trade. You can trade with trusted partners via the mail system. Or just use the TP and thus reduce the risk of being scammed.
• Selling a 2s NPC vendor price item for 20s and getting 17s still looks good for me.

Dungeon

• Dungeon armor is supposed to be unique. First you DO NOT NEED the armor you can get there. If you want it to because you want to look cool, then you have to work hard for it. Why? Because that’s how the item keeps its value, by being scarce among players.
• Nothing to add here.
• Dungeons are being balanced.
• Dungeons are being balanced.
• Nothing to add here.

Misc – I don’t have anything to say.

^^
Reading that made me annoyed.
but anyways i like most of these ideas

WvW Night time can not be fixed as Many players can only play at night Aslo some times when you get into a wvwvw one world might be in a bad time zone compared to the others

I really like those improvements, but I als would like to have a target’s target.

And maybe some chat improvements like: Chat colour per proffesional, and the ability to right click the name and see his lvl, guild etc.
