Simple List:

1. Add a way on the character select screen to see what each characters level is in each type of craft.
2. Add a way to see how many times you have leveled past 80 on each character.
3. Add a way to see all logged in guild members on the map. (With Toggle on/off)
4. Add Guild Halls.

Here is the list in more details for those who wish to read. I have not read about any of these specifically, so they may be in development or may not be. That being said, most of these are super simple updates/tweaks that would make playing a little better and more user friendly.

1. Add a way on the character select screen to see what each characters level is in each type of craft. I suggest a simple pop up screen that happens when you hover over the selected character. I have 10 characters, and it is difficult to pin point which character has the highest skill in each craft without logging into each one, then making them take that craft to see. A simple pop up screen on character log in would be so helpful.

2. Add a way to see how many times you have leveled after initially reaching 80. It is not much of an accomplishment to go from level 80 to level 80 when you have only a skill point to show for it. Skill points can be gained multiple ways, so having 200 skill points isn’t very impressive when you can show you level up 200 times past 80 to get those skill points. It could be a simple addition to the menu where it shows the magic find, karma and experience percentages for your account. A simple, “(Levels after 80) – 201” Just something to show a little more accomplishment. It would make leveling past 80 more fun.


These are guild ideas—-

1. Add a toggle in the map to show all the logged in guildies on the map. They can show up as gold dots instead of green or blue. Here is why this is so important in my opinion: when the guild has events, you may not have an area they are in. If you run there, you can see them alot easier than having to guess. I think it is cool to have lots of guild members all fighting the same boss, but you can’t all be in the same party. So adding a toggle to see all the guild members as well as party members would make it feel more like you were connected.

2. Add Guild Halls. The biggest disappointment coming from Guild Wars 1 to Guild Wars 2 is the giant down grade to no Hall. I remember spending time as a guild inside the halls just having meetings or doing games or having raffles, etc. It was our guild and no one could randomly pop in and ruin it. We didnt have to meet in public areas. It felt like a Guild. Guild Wars 2, the guilds feel more like forums. You can do guild chat but you can’t have private, in person, guild related events. This is a big update unlike the other ones, but it would really set apart Guild Wars 2 from other MMOs, and make it actually “Guild” wars again.

These are a few ideas, 3 simple ones and 1 harder one. But it would be so cool to see!

These are good but if the devs read every wall of text thrown at them they’d be reading for the rest of their lives. You can shorten this to a bullet list (or just put the list at the top of the post); I highly recommend you do so.

Other than the guild halls, those things seem perfectly reasonable to ask of them and have them implement it.

As such? I think I did that right.

And Guild Halls are definitely a future thing if they havent started it. I just like having that place where you can meet and discuss things as a group outside of the public area.
