Guild Wars 2

152. “Bags shown (slim mode)” in inventory which shows bags as a table but keeps their names in slot-sized placeholders (will help to save space by eliminating half-empty rows in “Bags shown” mode). May be a replacement of feature 29.

153. Option to display world map at 90% opacity (useful for many cases when you get attacked by a random mob who walked/spawned next to you, and you have to close the map, kill the mob and then search for the waypoint again).

154. Warning when buying a 2nd identical accessory/ring on a character who has the same unique trinket equipped, so that the player sees he will not be able to use it (case reported too often in the game and forums). Additionally: an in-game explanation of what “unique” is. Alternatively: removal of “unique” mechanic.

155. “Type in item name” confirmation box on deletion/salvaging/mysticforging/vendoring of all precursors and expensive named exotics.

156. “Unsalvageable” in description of karma/vendor gear.

157. Option to turn off contour highlighting and target ring highlighting in no-UI mode (ruins screenshots if a mob/NPC is in the center of the screen and gets highlighted, and makes it difficult to make screenshots with a mini as it often relocates and receives an outline).

158. On death on any WvW map, the map view is brought up with no way to exit it other than to return to a spawn point (to counter corpse spying).

159. Adding a right-click function to inventory items/item links to search for it on Wiki (similar to /wiki chat command).

160. Mining/harvesting always as a single long channel depending on the amount of digs/chops available (custom animations may need to be tweaked though).

161. A /world or /server chat channel to let WvW people from a single world communicate in mixed-world PvE maps without sharing information with opponents (also useful for guild advertising).

162. Ability to use the same weapon as mainhand in the 1st weapon set and as offhand in the 2nd weapon set.

163. “Close all” function for event reward medal alerts (probably as right-click to dismiss all).

164. Option to block whispers and mail from anyone except your friends, guild members and current party (addresses gold selling spam and harassing).

165. Automatically remove messages of blocked users from chat (same).

166. Automatically add luck when salvaging, or consume on “deposit collectible” (may be an option, however I do not think that first levels’ artificer refinement is worth all the clicking for all other players).

167. Free waypointing to the home city of your race (adds some lore spice, helps redistribute players, encourages “racial” communities especially if cities are removed from the megaserver system).

God….
I thought you’re just exaggerating that 125 number.

Good job dude.

A list of everything about the game that can be improved is useful. But I don’t believe everything listed is “needed” though some would be nice. Moving stuff directly from a guild bank to the bank for example would be nice…but I’m not sure I need that feature. I actually prefer some of the features that are coming up in the patch. Better PvP rewards, for example, will make it so that I actually PvP, because I hate spending time in PvP, as it felt wasted. That’s a game changer for me.

The account wardrobe, in a lot of ways, is also a game changer.

A large portion of these suggestions would be greatly welcome in the game. Implementing all of them would probably take a couple of years with the devs doing nothing but that.

It’s easy to ask for stuff to be done. It’s hard to get stuff done. Some of these features may come out or be added to the game at some point. They’ll never all be added in one patch.

So much yes! Good effort, nice list.

Just adding a second vote to at least these ones:
1,2,6,7,8,16,18,20,21,23,24,26,27,32,39,45,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,59,60,61,68,74,78,79,81,87,88,89,91,92,93,94,96,97,98,101,102,103,104,105,109,110,111(Also add: Make all cutscenes skippable),113 & 114 & 115,116,120,122.

Some things are needed to you (as a PvP player). Some thing are needed to other players. So to an extent, all these things are needed to different kinds of players. You may see a new reward system as a game changer, while I see daily QoL as my game changer which makes me feel that developers care and thus support them with real money. My latest purchase, however, was a gold-to-gem conversion due to specific news regarding the patch.

Nage.1520:

A large portion of these suggestions would be greatly welcome in the game. Implementing all of them would probably take a couple of years with the devs doing nothing but that.

I’m a developer in my own field and I see many if not most of these features as “things which should’ve been there from the start” and “things which require tiny amount of time but are not as PRable so they have ultimately low priority”.

According to the Pareto principle, 80% of the effects come from 20% of time invested, and vice versa. I see the wardrobe as a 80% time consumer with 20% effect, but highly PRable to hype-prone buyers. Will I need the wardrobe once I’m done with my look? Not really, at max I’ll have several free slots in bank previously occupied by skins (in exchange for charges though). At the same time, I see most of the changes in the list take 20% of time but give 80% of effect to every day every hour every minute play. Is it as hypable as “no repair costs”? Nope…

The “couple of years” to add “use all” on stacks of luck? To add an “adjust particle effect intensity” slider? To untick “soulbound” on dungeon runes similar to sigils? To let mystic forge eat exotic sigils similar to exotic weapons? To add a “cast AoE at max distance”? To add a pinable bag? To add a tick “always skip cutscenes”? To add a collapse icon to UI elements and allow them to be dragged? Oh, come on…

Nice, will add later. Doesn’t it work like it now?

Unsure if it was mentioned or not (I read it but it was a lot to remember) but a lot of people including myself would like to see visual weapons on our characters such as your offset weapons showing when wielding current (I.E playing warrior and having your duel wield swords on your waist whilst using your bow)

Lishtenbird.2814:

Dalanor.5387:

Hm… Could you make it more clear please?

Sure. When you toggle this option on, everytime you loot, automatically deposit your stuff to the bank, like T1-6 materials. If you tie it to looting only, it will prevent deposit when you just withdraw something from your bank for example when you want to craft something in the Mystic Forge.
Well, it’s just less stress from the user and -2 clicking, so nothing important, but in PvE where craft materials drops everywhere, that would be a lovely change. Especially in farmable content.
I hope it was clear. =)

I’m a developer in my own field and I see many if not most of these features as “things which should’ve been there from the start” and “things which require tiny amount of time but are not as PRable so they have ultimately low priority”.

I submit that what the game should have launched with is completely 100% irrelevant to the conversation at hand. What matters is that these things aren’t here now and a lot of people want them here. That’s all that matters. And it doesn’t change how long these changes will take. Unless you have access to the Anet code, you can’t possibly know how long this stuff would take. You can guess, pretty much like everyone else.

The big problem here is that, again, people have expectations based on an ideal world. In an ideal world, Anet would have had an extra year or two in development before they launched. That would have been an ideal world.

But the game lauched early for a lot of reasons, probably some of them financial and some of them marketing. You can’t develop a game forever. You have to release at some point.

Also, there was a staff change, quite a major one during development in which one of the key developers left Anet to develop another game, and he took at least a couple of key staffers with him (possibly more).

There are a lot of things that should be done in an ideal world but they weren’t done and we have a situation at this time were implementing this list in its entirely would likely take more than a couple of years, assuming everything else wasn’t being worked on.

You can say that it’s all fast stuff, but you don’t really know that, and frankly, neither do I. But I’ve seen how long other updates have taken and I’m not convinced that this team can work faster without producing more bugs than we currently have to deal with.

Edit: It’s a great list. But even if it was all an priority it will never all happen in one update. Not even most of it.

(tinkling sound as gems hit monitor)
Why won’t you take my money?!?

+1!

I’m not saying it’s all fast stuff. Things like reworking rewards or choosable overflows or fixing pathing issues are slow stuff – and that’s why they’re in the very end of the list. But many things are relatively easy to fix (like, again, “use all” on stacks), and I’d be ultimately more happy if fast things came first because I can enjoy them now and wait for content-like features, as otherwise I may get fed up with small nuisances and leave before they even start rolling out the heavy stuff.

GW2 is not an indie game, and it even reminds me more of Windows 8 – “Let’s change what our freshly graduated marketing guys showed in their cool PowerPoint presentation, let’s never fix what buyers ask for and cover the rest with advertising” – not to Microsoft’s extent of course, but the direction looks similar. As a serious business, ANet should understand that at some point glad veterans become more important than 1-time buyers who wouldn’t even understand that half of my list is worth working on – which the failure of Windows 8 has proved. But “new players” are more or less finite, new games (unlike OSs) are coming out, so now may be the right time to think about their own “solid foundation”.

I would say that some of those features would indeed be nice. Quite handy, I’m sure. However, I could not classify all of them as a ‘need’ or a ‘necessity.’ I’m sure you won’t agree OP, but we’ll simply leave that a difference of opinion. Different strokes for different folks.

But “new players” are more or less finite, new games (unlike OSs) are coming out, so now may be the right time to think about their own “solid foundation”.

I don’t like the analogy of comparing this to Windows 8. First of all, a lot of things people have asked for were fixed. Not all the things. As already pointed out, there’s only some much time to fix things. That’s just logic. So some things got fixed, some things are on the list of things to fix.

When the game first started we couldn’t craft from the bank, we could only craft from inventory. They fixed that. We still can’t mystic forge from the bank though. That has yet to be fixed.

And things that should be easy in a program this big and complex often aren’t. Changes made in one place, which might look like easy changes can (and do) affect other systems.

I’m not saying it shouldn’t be done. It’s a good list. And I’m sure over the course of time many of these changes will appear. But they’ll gradually filter into the game. Most people would rather get to fight the next dragon.

I did not believed there is actually a list of 125 items
Anyway, good job – here are some mine.

→ abillity to open multiple bags / consume items rather than 1 click only.
→ abillity to chose the size of the stack size and amount of stacks when seperating a stack of items rather than cutting it in half all the time. (I am looking at you janky runes and sigils getting thrown into the MF, etc.)

A lot of really great ideas, I especially like: 2, 4, 12, 13, 18, 19, 24, 27, 28, 32, 43, 50, 51, 57, 60, 67, 71 intriguing, 73 never thought of that but good idea, 82, 92 I think they said would be implemented soon in the April patch, 108, 111.

Frankly I’m surprised some of these were never implemented from the beginning, since they are features in every other mmo I’ve ever played. especially the sort armor on AH by type (heavy, light, medium) instead of going through them all. Also the revive thing has begun to become very annoying. Certain pick up items should have different priority over rezzing. I’ve died many times in the Solid Ocean Fractal because I needed to pick up a crystal and not rez the dead person beside me -.- And I don’t know how many times Brahams dialogue box comes up instead of the mining option in the Molten Furnace Fractal.

UI features…I know Anet said they wanted to maintain a style to it so I’m meh on that point, though I would like to see a bit more customizable movement options like in GW1. #24, seen many threads for that one, don’t think it’s every going to happen…same with #27, though I think that is a serious issue since this is a game that relies on seeing what the enemy is doing/going to do and being able to respond to it.

43 would be really convenient. I swap weapons a lot when I’m not in combat and trying to find the weapon I need amidst all the loot, gear sometimes takes more time than it should. #57, I’m glad to see Balthazar vendor had a buy 10 of feature instead of one. so now i just need to click 150 times instead of 300 times when buying obsidian shards…-.-

Agree that many of these aren’t really necessary but convenient. Still would be nice to see some implemented.

Nage.1520:

FTFY

Probably I’m just sick and tired of many companies releasing raw products and than making random marketing-based changes which make me groan under them (I’m looking at you, Microsoft with Windows, Google with Android and hundreds of modern apps and sites).

Yes, they’re fixing stuff. Like the 30 mesmer bugs – though it doesn’t negate the fact that a trait which didn’t work at all for more than half a year should’ve been fixed at release. But some people understand that once the new dragon slayer achievement points are received, they’re stuck with the same nuisances as before.

Probably some of these things will even see light in the upcoming patch, but some of official previews were met as random, repetitive or irrelevant… While some changes – like a change to Portal usability for mesmers – were never mentioned even though that’s a feature considered cool by mesmers. So probably, maybe that’s again a problem of communication, where developers cater to mostly casual players?

Awesome list OP, ty for taking the time!

Only read the first dozen or so until I realized you just want the game to use the mouse and keyboard correctly for you.

Would you like to develop these features?

Good luck, see you in a few years.

Laundry lists like these serve no purpose.

Lightyears.8624:

You should probably read the whole book before you decide that the rest 90% of it is the same.

Malchior.5042:

Would you like to develop these features?

If ANet hired me? Yeah, sure, ’cause working-on-a-game is more fun than working-and-then-game.

Automatically “take all” when leaving a Trading Post NPC, or at a minimum – when you purchase an item directly from a TP NPC, drop that item right into inventory. I still purchase things and forget to grab them before going back to the crafting station.

Have the ability to restack salvage kits if they equal less than 25. Or heck…. make then stacks to 250.

Many of the OP’s suggestions look like good additions to me. That said, my pet peeve with the game is the lack of option #27. That one’s a deal-breaker for me.

Golf clap for Lishtenbird.

Added 130, 131.

52. Do not display “Use [F]” for siege when it is already used by another player.

The exception is the owner of the siege weapon can still see the “Use [F]” and take back control from another operator.

67. Trait templates – 2 free slots (WvW/PvE, PvE/dungeons), extendable through gemstore. “No ETA on templates” is official.

This thread speaks to this in more detail. Is your suggestion to have 2 free trait template slots per character or per account?

93. “Command templates” for commanders: set of pre-editable chat commands which can be keybound to numpad keys and then instantly “said” in events like Marionette, Assault Knights, Holo, Tequatl, Wurm, and possibly WvW (typing takes a lot of time, especially for people who do not use Latin keyboard layout by default, and after several iterations it discourages commanders from providing intel to newcomers).

I like this. There’s also a Commander Abilities thread discussing turning these into audio commands.

94. Tuning of “suppressed due to excessive messaging” mechanism; addition of a “Quick-report for chat spam” system which raises spam-index of a player if reported by several players.

As a commander, I hate the “suppressed due to excessive messaging” mechanism; but I also see it’s necessity in preventing trolls from spam bombing the /m and /t chat channels. The compromise I propose is the creation of a new chat channel for all commanders (/c) on the map in which commanders actively flagged on are exempt from text chat suppression.

This way a troll would still be prevented from spam bombing the /m or /t channels while giving the commanders the flexibility to text chat without suppression. Of course, it isn’t a real solution as it simply relocates the problem from the /m and /t channels to the /c channel.

For those who would suggest the squad channel (/d) already accomplishes this, it isn’t really a viable solution since so few players seem to understand how squads work. What’s more is, players only see the chat of the commander who’s squad they’ve joined. They won’t see the chat of any other commanders; which defeats the purpose.

No easy solution for this one, I guess.

132 (new). In WvW, move the NPCs standing under the supply depots of towers and keeps away from the supply crates. Too often the “Greet [F]” trigger blocks the “Take Supply [F]” trigger.

To the ArenaNet apologists, this list would not take years to implement if they simply put the will behind it to make it happen. Quit defending poor decision making, inefficient resource allocation, and half-finished implementation. The argument that the “code is so complex, OhMerGawd there’s too many levels of dependency, blah, blah, blah” doesn’t wash.

Any programmer worth their salt knows their code and develops and documents in such a way that they’re aware of the interdependencies such that they shouldn’t be breaking anything whenever they introduce something new or make an edit here or an edit there (or thoroughly test it in advance of release in case they did break something). Anything less than that and all I can do is shake my head and bite my tongue at the risk of being infracted for calling out the state of the game’s code.

There’s stuff I programmed 10 years ago that I can see in my mind’s eye right now without even having to open the file where I can tell you that if a change was made to X portion of the code, then that would cause a conflict in Y portion of the code, and we’d have to do Z to correct it. I don’t expect programmers to do more than that, but I also don’t expect anything less, either. If I can do it, they should be able to, as well; that’s part of what they’re being paid to do.

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes +1000000

Ability to favorite certain items on the TP for quick viewing.

I +1’ed every single one of your numbered posts. Kudos to you for pointing out what should happen in terms of QoL changes.

The crafting option you mention would be great. I always end up looking back and forth trying to craft the needed materials to make an item.

My body…is ready.

Great list
15 char

This is an out of game -suggestion, but here goes: Actually listing all the changes (except fixing exploits) in the patch notes to avoid unpleasant surprises e.g. alphard in arah p2, troll in hotw p1, several risen skill changes.

I don’t always +1 posts, but when I do, I make sure it’s a good one.

Aside from the living story it really does feel like the games been put into maintenance mode since fractals release almost 2 years ago.

Which means people leave for extended periods of time and come back to check out new content… that has all but passed away thanks to how the living story is handled.

Go jump off your leap. Lists like these serve an obvious purpose, they point out flaws in the game and include improvements that are being requested to fix said flaws. Forums are designed for discussion, we’re all very sorry you don’t want to see discussion on improving the game.

You forgot duels and mounts.

I KID!

Excellent list, and I can tell you’re approaching it from a developer’s point of view.
May I suggest the addition of a crosshair/reticle for your suggested freelook toggle?
Third-party mods that risk tagging the user as a hacker are already doing this, so it would be wise to accommodate this in-game.

Some other random spitballs:

A user-definable key for a 180° turn.

A toggle to show or hide the titles of other players.

When walking, a character should not be able to step off of ledges (like Minecraft’s crouch behaviour). With that in mind, make it so that players can choose between the behaviour of the walk button, so it can be hold or toggle.

Tearaway chat tabs to allow for multiple floating chat windows all showing different channels.

New paper-doll inventory slots for minipets and food. Minipets placed in these slots should automatically show in-world without the need to double-click them in the inventory, and food stacks placed in these slots should be automatically consumed until the stack runs out.

Oh, and my current favourite. Completely scalable and moveable UI elements like in GW1. While I can understand the desire of the developers to have the user interface constrained by them so it appears “tidy”, a player should be able to tailor the UI to completely suit their needs.
If that means obscuring their viewport into the world with health bars, buffs, debuffs, inventory windows, maps and quest trackers in seemingly random positions and sizes, so be it. It should be the user’s choice, not the developer’s. It is, after all, a user interface.

Dang, one more:
Sort out the scaling of text when switching to compact UI mode!
This is particularly noticeable when opening the BLTC window, where text looks like it is defaulting to badly scaled bitmap fonts instead of smoothly scaling Truetype/Opentype typefaces.

There’s already a user-definable key to do a 180. It’s called “About Face” you an access it from the Options/Control Options section of the Options menu.

Ah, cool. I figured some of mine may have already made it into the game, but I haven’t played since November and don’t intend to again any time soon, so had no way of knowing.

I hope ArenaNet will read this post, they are always asking for feedback. And here it is…

Wow, I wasn’t expecting 125 items actually being on the list.
And then when I saw there are 125, I wasn’t expecting them to be good, quality ideas.

Kudos to OP for this list. I think that a lot of these are really needed QoL improvements, some would just be cool, and some are stretches (independent shoulder armor hiding, really?). But many of these changes I’d be cool with.

I’d like to see a red post just generally letting us know if these are the kinds of changes that they’re currently looking into or if it’s something that a future CDI would be good for. If so, start it by pasting this OP into it.

There is a lot of great things there that really should be implemented ASAP, but you know, if you weren’t a mouse-kind-of player you would have at least 1/3 less of the headache caused by these 125 issues.
I know a lot of people who play using mouse but I really don’t think this game is made to be played like that, that’s why you see tooltips when you cross the cursor over skills and that’s why skills follow a 1,2,3 order, coz you can easily play only with one hand using the right numerical tab of keys or both hands using the central numerical tab – while you can also move.
I never understand how people can drag the mouse from skill 2 to 0, lets say, not feeling they are wasting time rolling a piece of hardware. Is physically clumsy in my opinion while you waste absolutely no time to press keys with your fingers, like playing piano or a guitar – except for the own time skills take to trigger.
I understand many people prefer use this or that in detriment of the other but uh, really, is also a matter of being skilled with your hands to play this game, and using the mouse to activate skills, move, target and set aoes sounds like my mother typing a 1000 characters letter with two fingers during the whole morning. You can’t demand the newspaper editor to print it with larger letters coz you can’t see well, you have to adapt and wear glasses.
But surely, is something Anet should consider to improve ’coz many people have found a way to play well with the mouse.
