Well, except for the gem2win options like the harvesting tools and the stupid gemstore titles that lead to an even more gemstore focused game, why not?
Why is the 1000g title called ‘jaws’. I dont get that one, or is it an offensive typo-pun?
Also:
>Wallets are merged
- DIVORCE! My partner stole my money!
Edit:
Oh and the mystic dye box. That would be a must have item for everyone since it can create a significant gold income. Not pay2win since, well, you can transfer gold to gem but another gem2win nontheless.
I understand the gem store is important for the game to survive but I dont support it being abused like that. Anet should lower the gold to gem ration in the near future anyway. To work against the passive inflation.

You can’t unmarry
1000g Jaws title means “Once you obtain 1000g you get the title Jaws” its a reference to James bond.
Title Unlocks are not play to win
Gem purchsed Harvesting tools are already in the game they just got a very small buff.
The Mystic Dye box is 5% better then Cooking Profession unidentified dye
A lot of these are neat ideas, but why is your dream notes focused on gems? Just out of curiosity. Do you like gems a lot?
Haha no, i’ve spent a lot of gems in this game and Feel Anet should have some form a loyalty point system in place for people who have spent gems. This not only helps them but also rewards us for making sure our game has a future.
“We will be compensating players for Fractal Reset”
“SAB is now open permanently”
“Utilities can be switched even if on CD”
“We will introduce 1 new dungeon with 3 paths every 2 months”
“We will provide lore for our legendaries”
“Holidays will stop being grindfests, previous items for that holiday will be attainable”
“Mesmers can dual wield guns, Rangers can dismiss pets forever”
lol! – ya right – oh please give us more LS instead of these!

All Outfit and Style purchases now come with one 1 free transmutation Stone per transaction on top of one time use item transmutation
Outfits are free to transmute already.
I Know but I feel 800 gems for most outfits is overpriced and Anet would never decrease the price so adding a bonus Transmutation stone in there was just a bonus.
Wow, three hours and not not even a full page of posts? People used to make threads like this every other week and they’d fill pages and pages in an hour.
Mine:
Condition Cap Fix
Dodge system revamp
There was a time when my dream patch notes hit the word cap. But since we’ve been getting (in my opinion) pretty good content through the LS since season two started, it’s made me realize that there is no bleeding reason to add any new content to the game until they have a functioning combat system to play through that content with.
Wow, three hours and not not even a full page of posts? People used to make threads like this every other week and they’d fill pages and pages in an hour.
Probably because the opening post is horrendous.
here me am patch notes master:
1. New weapon-class combinations.
2. Revamped guild upgrade system.
3. Revamped WvW objective upgrade system.
4. Watchwork Pick no longer generates Watchwork Sprockets.
5. Companion/henchman/hero system added.
6. NG+ Personal Story system added.
7. Revamped personal story which is less bad.
well the more horrendous it is the more likely it will go on for 15 pages
the less it has to do with video games, the more likely a dev will reply to it
and the most rational suggestions will be downvoted, set on fire and burried
i can outswim a centaur!
when i’m done on an issue
i start talking in nerglish
Probably the most important thing in PvE they haven’t fixed, or rather, found a better solution to than the terrible, supposedly temporary, kludge they’ve been using since pre-launch. The cap might be fine to leave in PvP/WvW for obvious reasons, but in PvE it undermines entire skills/builds/professions just because something similar is involved in the fight.
But hey, the last thing they said about this was that they were working on it, about 18+ months ago, so we’ve got that going for us.
Skyhammer:
-Skyhammer has been removed from tournament queues and Hotjoin rotation,
-You can still play Skyhammer in custom arenas.
Spectator:
-it is no longer possible to join the team with the most points.
-additionally once you have chose to spectate on a match that you were playing,
you can only rejoin your previous team.
Hotjoin:
-8v8 servers are back, you may now choose to play either 5v5 or 8v8.
-Removed the cap on Reward Track progression via hotjoin.
can you imagine? 8v8 fun back, no team swap exploit, no skyhammer
HOTJOIN FUN AGAIN!

Pretty much those 3, 1st patches.
Warrior/Guardian spear + shield being trident 2h
Necro/mesmer/Elementalist with trident as land weapon
thief, engi with haarpon gun for trigering traps if case of thief and engi as a very long range CC weapon.
1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.
Got a flat? Blew a gasket? Don’t worry, call Anet! At Anet, we work hard to maintain our MMO’s AAA rating. So the next time you need roadside assistance (insert video clip of dolyak standing on the hood of a ’73 Ford Pinto), send in a ticket and one of our friendly, courteous GMs will be there (insert video clip of GM arriving via mesmer portal) to help get you rolling again!
My dream patch notes would just be for them to one day put out notes that said: NOTHING – because an expansion is coming (insert definitive date here)
They releasing one
If I could only pick one thing from my patch notes to come true it would /bigfish emote :P
I’ve heard a lot of people saying that there’s an expansion coming, especially recently. Where is this speculation coming from? Google hasn’t been able to present me with anything substantial and/or official.
“Be angry about legendary weapons, sure, but what about the recent drought of content?”
-Mike O’Brien
Because we can’t be angry about both?
The dye box should be something like the krama converter something you can get in game by getting a number of things and something you can spend krama or some other in game money to have it spit a random account bound dye at you once per week / day.
Main : Jski Imaginary ELE (Necromancer)
Guild : OBEY (The Legacy) I call it Obay , TLC (WvW) , UNIV (other)

January of last year actually, twenty two months since they stated that had a ‘fix’ incoming. Apparently the fix was to pretend it isn’t a problem and ignore the players that speak up about it.
This would be my personal Dream Patch Notes for like a FP3 – Part 1
Release Notes:
NEW FEATURES AND CONTENT

The Activity NPC in Lion’s Arch has been removed. All Activities will be found now only in their corresponding Towns and Maps. So for Southsun Survival, you have to go visit Southsun Cove. For Keg Brawl, you have to go to Hoelbrak and so on…

No pregiven Instance Designs anymore.
When You enter your Personal Instance, You will get asked now, if You want to enter Your Instance, or if You want to enter it with “Build Mode”, where You can customize Your Instance only.

Jeweler and Chef 500 have been added as like as the missing Materials, which weren’t craftable before like Crystalline Ingots and Xunlai Electrum Ingots

Precursor Crafting is now possible with the help of new “Semi-Precursors”.
For this, alot of already existing exotic Weapons as like also Pact Weapons have been changed into Semi-Precursors.
Semi-Precursors are exotic Weapons, which can be turned into Precursors by using 1 of 3 different methods:
- Through using one of several different Crafting Recipes to refine them into Precursors
- Through going through a long and hard Journey of an epic Scavenger Hunt that requires of You do fulfill various Challenges and Tasks over the course of time.
- Through merging them together with 3 other different specific Weapons in the Mystic Forge
New craftable legendary Weapons and Accesssoires have been added.
New exotic and ascended craftable Aqua Breathers have been added.
Classes
A new playable Soldier Class has been added into the Game – the Partisan
Weapons
The Underwater Spear gets renamed to Harpoon

After this change there won’t exist the Term Harpoon/Spear Gun anymore just Rifles instead. The corresponding Weapon Master Achievement will get removed and exchanged with a new multi tier Achievement that gives a total of 16AP for just dealing critical hits as also one for dealing conditions to foes – the Critical Hitter and Plague Sharer Achievement.
A New Weapon Type has been added together weith its Weapon Master Achievement – Spear as a on land polearm weapon.

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside
Guild Wars 2 supports now also DirectX11 and makes usage of its positive Features.

Players are able now to deactivate in the Graphic Settings visual Effects of Legendary Weapons, Minipets, Back Items, Auras and the like of other Players.
The Standard Enemy Model Feature will be usable now also for WvW turning all your enemies in WvW into Human randomized looking Models
WvW
The original WvW Achievements have been redesigned and got added improved unique Rewards.
Every 500th Rank Reward Chest will give Players from now on a guaranteed Ascended Equipment. People which have exceeded already Rank 500 or multiples of 500, wil lreceive retroactively these guaranteed ascended random items, when they talk the next time with a new Badges of Honor Reward NPC, who will sell also Ascended Weapons and Equipment for Badges of Honor + Gold, Essences of Luck, Karma and Globs of Ectoplasm.
All existing WvW Traits got their Tiers increased to 10 adding new Perks to the WvW Traits.
Each Class has in WvW now some new Class Specific WvW Traits to improve the Class roles in WvW significantly, which don’t require WvW Ranks, but get unlocked through using Badges of Honor.
The Borderlands have been merged into 1 new single Map, which got included also alot of the Edge of the Mist Features.
The Space of the removed cloned Borderlands got used to implement two new WvW Maps that replace from now on the removed copied Borderlands – The Plains of Chaos and The Fissure of Woe
New WvW Traits with 5 Perks fow now have been implemented:
- Assault Mastery

WvW recognizes now heigth differences and gives now a Damage Bonus to attacks, if you attack foes from a higher position and increases also the range of your attacks, when you attack a foe that stands on a lower position than you giving defending players now in Wvw an appropiate Home Advantage making it alot harder also to nuke with AoEs defending Players away, giving them no chance to defend at all.
Any kind of Ground Target AoE Skills can’t be placed anymore on Tower/Keep Walls, if those Walls have been upgraded at least once.
Camps, Towers and Keeps have received now improved and expanded Upgrade Tiers
WvW also provides now Dungeon Token Rewards, by giving out every 25 WvW Ranks, unless its a 500th rank , 500 Dungeon Tokens of your Choice instead of two items to three and badges of honor. This change won’t give out tokens retroactively.

This is from late February (I’m guessing last year, but the forum doesn’t show me year, just month and day.) If that’s the case, it’s been twenty months.
