Guild Wars 2

GW2 is a great game, around 900 hours played so far and I don’t see myself slowing down yet. However I’ve gone back to playing multiple MMO’s, namely this and WoW, for several reasons.

1) I miss roles.

The only thing that keeps dungeons interesting for me in gw2 is switching characters that I do them on. The only mechanics in most boss fights are unfortunately only timing a dodge correctly, which gets old very fast. I know Anet advertised that the lack of roles was an amazing leap forward for MMO’s….but I feel it was a step back. It really limits them on what kind of mechanics they can put into their boss fights, which has been very obvious.

2) I miss WPvP.

WvW is great, but honestly there is nothing there for the individual player except joining the zerg (which is painfully….PAINFULLY boring). In the future of gw2 I am hoping for some expansion on this. Perhaps at the beginning of the next expansion the player can join the Kurzick, or the Luxon. Then, while leveling in a zone the players you come across from a different faction, can be attacked. Hearts, karma vendors, max lvl item vendors, etc can be all fought over. It can really liven up the leveling environment to include in it some PvP, that can’t be completely dominated by siege equipment up on a wall. I’m calling for real WPvP…..not the WvW that gets repetitive very quickly.

3) I miss instanced zones.

Instanced zones were amazing in GW1. Imagine an entire zone, with much harder mobs, with all the same things as a normal zone (vistas, POI’s, skill points, vendors). It would be like a dungeon where you can only enter with say 10-15 people (these zones could take the place of raids)! Once you finish it you’re done, but it takes as much practice and coordination as say a heroic raid in WoW.

List your hopes for this game for the future, and features you would LOVE to see implemented.

Primarily, I would love to see a brand new continent, and much more depth in solo friendly questing. I have lots of other wants, but listing anymore would make me sound like an ungrateful kitten

My 1st wish … Tengu (preferably a class of their own so to speak) …

Remaining wishes are to be able to play a skritt and a quaggin.

Unfortunately any new maps they open up I’ll have mapped in no time, so new areas are a bit of a “what ever”, but more areas to harvest ori, ancient wood and omnomberries would be nice.

If they learn anything from southsun cove, I hope it is that they need engaging content to keep people in the area.

Another thing which would be extremely nice is free WP costs, like in WvW, cities, or in GW1.

There really is no point to having WPs cost so much…..it’s really limiting your players from seeing everything they may want to. Also…considering how expensive everything in the game is, there should be no point to having this as an additional money sink.
