Guild Wars 2

GW2 has done some things right, but theres small things in the game that hold it back from actually being the game it should be and actually great. After 3 years theres no excuse for these things. Heres a few examples.

TURNING OFF TOOL-TIPS: Yes, 3 years later, after playing our characters we are still treated like idiots that need 3-4 boxes of text to show up every time we mouse over our moves to make sure we are not stupid.

BEING PUNISHED TO SIT IN A BLOODY PVP LOBBY FOR PLAYING PVP: Seriously? This is the single dumbest feature of GW2. You take players OUT OF THE WORLD to shun them away in a pvp lobby where they can’t do anything as if they are getting punished for wanting to do pvp.

SHUFFLING MOVES ON TOOLBAR: Theres no reason for this. Its like having a fisher price keyboard because your parents think your not smart enough to handle where you want to put them yourself. Its insulting.

NAMEPLATES: Ya… because tiny names on a skinny green bar are great.

UI INTERFACE CUSTOMIZATION: We can’t move ANYTHING. The more customization the better. FF14 learned from this and even WoW with the mod “move anything” and EVE among many many others.

FRAME RATES FOR BIG BATTLES: How about better frame rates for world bosses and wvw pvp? It’d be nice to not have a slideshow of just hundreds of green names with no nameplates you can’t read anyway.

GLITCHING ARMOR/OUTFITS: Stop being lazy and fix the models or simply dont put them in the game at all..

GAME BALANCE: Why does it take half a year for game balance issues?

These are just some of the ones i’ve noticed. Feel free to add to them or comment on what you think

Have a great weekend everyone!

No issues with all but the last.

What MMO has balance? Or are you complaining about the speed at which they address the balance issues? If so, that I have no issues with.

The speed at which they address it.

Great .. those people that search every little glich with a microscope are one of the
reasons we now only get stupid outfits instead of armor sets. Good work.

I have to laugh every time I hear someone complain about graphical issues with armor.

Sometimes i lookes 2-3 minutes at postet pictures and still don’t even get what
problems those people see there.

And then there are people that think ANet should let us mix and match even
different weight classes because people don’t care about clipping problems.

Was the same in Champions Online where we had some restrictions of mixing
specific stuff, and a lot of people always wanted rather to have them removed
so that they could decide themself if they could live with some clipping errors
or not.
But ofc other think its better to restrict everything that is not perfect .. thats
why we can’t have nice things.

Seriously, tons of people will be so happy if these are the only things holding back the game.

TURNING OFF TOOL-TIPS
> Because, due to balancing, sometimes they may change stats of a skill. How else would you see it in-game if there’s no tool tips? Besides, I don’t know about you, but I don’t always remember all the conditions that my weapon might apply (especially if it’s minor one like chill or vulnerability)

BEING PUNISHED TO SIT IN A BLOODY PVP LOBBY FOR PLAYING PVP
> Because when people can queue outside of lobby, people keep canceling their match prompt when they’re in the middle of an event or something, making it hard to have a match. So yes, people, you’re being punished because of your own behavior.

SHUFFLING MOVES ON TOOLBAR
> What? I don’t really understand this…

UI INTERFACE CUSTOMIZATION
> Their reasonings are that they want you to play the game instead of playing the UI, like how healers in WoW only need to look at the UI to heal their parties instead of looking their in-game characters. Besides, GW2 UI is way better than some other MMOs other there.

FRAME RATES FOR BIG BATTLES
> If you don’t have crazy good computers, simply limit the amount of characters shown in the setting menus to increase FPS.

GLITCHING ARMOR/OUTFITS
> Well, they did no longer put armor in the game because of the glitches and only put outfits since they’re easier to make glitchless. So, wish granted, I guess?

GAME BALANCE
> Balance patch is every 3 months actually. And eh, aren’t people saying the current balance for PvP is decent nowadays?

Its called patch notes

This is debunked by every other mmo that has no problem with this. Doesn’t hold water.

This is completely wrong. Those are mods, not vanilla UI features.

Or they could build an engine that is good.

no.

Since it is your thread op you kind of need to say more than no to other peoples posts. They came back with their thoughts, there is nothing to say no to.
