Hello everyone!
First of all i want to apologize for huge post but i couldn’t make it smaller (lol) and for my poor English.
I’m making this post because i wanted to share my and see your thoughts about game and give a few suggestions to anet team if they ever see this.
This game overall is a masterpiece but with some huge flaws that i will cover little bit later.I’m warrior lvl 80 from Gandara who has 100% world completion,finished story and full exotic gear with almost every skin i need for my char.
Also i did almost every dungeon path there is in the game.Now when i introduced myself I’m gonna start with character creation,gear & dye system,crafting,pve content,wvwvw and finally spvp.
1.Character creation
I think we all can agree on that gw2 looks beyond beautiful and so does the chars u create.When u create char in gw2 it gives u that feeling that
your epic journey is about to begin.You are a hero that is gonna change a whole world BUT some of options were ridiculous like that circus one.What is that about,
are u creating a epic story of a warrior who is changing the world or a circus maximus?Ok let’s pass that…Appearance options are good since it gives u freedom
to create any kind of body structure you want (chubby,lean,huge muscular body…whatever) but i was little disappointed in number of hair styles.Overall i really liked char creation with a few exceptions..
2.Gear & dye system
Yes gear…While lvling my char i always thought that my gear appearance was little odd…Almost every armor looks the same till lvl 80,even crafted ones.That was little
frustrating because i care a lot of my char appearance.That is something that should be worked on.I understand that he reason of this is micro transactions and buying sets fro diamond shop but still it’s not that hard to make a few kinds of armor every 10 lvl…
80 lvl armors look amazing i have to admit it…I spend few hours trying to find perfect set for my warrior and it was great experience.
I love the idea of max stat armor (exotics) and doing dungeons for coins so u can change appearance of your char BUT acquiring exotic gear is an easy task and doing dungeons with ppl that know what are they doing is also easy.That’s why I’m already done with this part of the game.I’ll cover this more in pve paragraph.
Your dye system is best i have ever seen and i have to congratz you on this.This idea of obtaining dyes,reusing it and option of coloring your armor whenever u want is
astonishing.One little suggestion on this is that u should make a option to dye weapons as well.I know u have more important things to do now but somewhere in the future me and few others would appreciate this.
3.Crafting
EXP for crafting!What?Yea u get exp for crafting…I don’t know who’s idea was this but it was….BRILLIANT!This game gives u a complete freedom on account of lvling your char.You can do it via gathering,crafting,dynamic events,whatever…Now when we cleared this part lets get little bit serious.Crafting interface window is neat simple and with some great options which can save u some time scrolling around.Idea of discovery is kitten great,especially for newcomers.It gives u that feeling that you are making something what no one has done before.Big fan of crafting in gw2,good job anet.Lets set aside all this great things that anet accomplished with crafting and take a good look at 400 skill lvl items u can craft.This is a major problem that needs to be handled in a near future…When u acquire 400 skill there is no going forward from that point its static.No new recipes that (should be appearance based) will eventually kill crafting economy.It will get to a point when exotics will be that cheap that u cant make any gold by doing it,instead u will lose gold.This is already happening with all this new 80’s that are undercutting for large amount of silver coins just to get some gold for gearing up.This must be taken care of.
