Guild Wars 2

Hi all, Zef here (MonsterZed ingame), and as a guild wars 2 happy player i saw river of complains about the game here on forums, but not all qualifies as “real problems”.

So here i’m making a moderated topic about it.

Someone (xRazorFistx, props) said that a game is a failure when it fails to execute what it strived for. In the spirit of that i will try to make a list of things that have geniuanly strayed from the GW2 manifesto or are simply unifinished/unrefined and are not achieving the expected result.

List below will be a filtered list of things that need fixing in community’s eyes and indeed are against what Guild Wars 2 is supposed to be. I will not put here any rants that are groundless, or due to person not knowing about something ingame, though suggestion to make something more apparent to player can be inserted if something is “too hidden” for it’s own good ingame.

The cruel judge of what is a real issue and what is a groundless rage-rant will be me, and given time i will give arugmentation in discussion why i rejected some option.
Yes i’m evil;)

Things that need attention in GW2:

I. Personal Storyline & character personality issues:
1. character behavior and voice is the same no matter his personality in cutscenes (barbaric player should be more threatening, captive character more flirtous, and one with high dignity more formal in his speech)
2. many npcs in cut scenes have same redundant animation, rather then proper face mimic and body language matching situation (we’ve all seen that talkey-roll eyes animation too many times).
3. after lvl 30 it stops being personal, starts being order’s story (only order you chose affects it, not your race, or other choices. Why is my sylvari sent to human – charr negatiations, and not nightmare court battling, or fighting risen in maguuma jungle areas?)
4. Forgal Kernsson has pink eyes? WTH?! – Sorry had to put that in;)

II. PvP.

1. More ingame advertisement for Structured PvP needed. I have npcs talking about Mist Wars in every city and that’s how i found world PvP. But because of no peep out of them about Structured PvP i only found that yesturday via gw2 wiki cause i wanted to find it..finally.

So far that’s it, as more is added and discussed list will grow or shrink if some points are proven invalid.

I agree about the flat and disappointing storyline. In fact, my boyfriend and I spend our personal-storyline time either coming up with creative ideas to kill trahearne or find new objects to block his face from our screens. The first 30 levels are okay if you ignore the voice acting, but later… shudders
And yes, those eyes are freaky. Looks like he has a permanent eye infection.

About PvP.. well, when you walk near the mist asura gates in every capital there are Mist Warrior NPCs talking and answering questions about the mist… so that’s already been done

I’ll log ingame and check if they say something about structured pvp. I know it’s silly when i got icon for it on top…but some ppl ..namely me, can be that stupid;p

Lvl 72 and NOW i found how to get to structured 5v5 pvp (which i like more then world ones)

But i’ll take that as -1 for advertisement suggestion:)

I would like my drops fixed, I am sick of playing for 4 -5 hrs a day and only seeing porus bones, dark stained claws and stones while everyone else I am grouped with is getting rares, cores and loadstones.
