Guild Wars 2

Here we go again, I know I have been writing a lot recently, and some of my levels are smaller than others. This one however, is going to contain a lot of different small ideas. this one is long, so please bear with me.

The Content Guide
This option, is neat, its awesome, its epic, and its so very sad that its not more flexible. my suggestion for TCG enhancement is simple:
Instead of having 4 options in a drop down menu, the content guide could be given a separate tab. This tab could function with markable tags, for each content area, and the same as with guilds, the option to make ranks. The higher rank should always be shown with priority, if anything marked in it, is on the map.
For instance, imagine you want to find all skill points and all Way points, and then you want to find your next story step. However, you will always want any guild activity or any event nearby to take priority.
To do this with the method i suggest, you make a first make an “Event” rank. You mark all guild events and events in it and place it as nr 1.
You then make an “Exploration” rank. You mark Skill points and way points in it.
You then make a “Story” rank and mark Story in it.

Heres a short list of suggestions for items that could be individually markable
- Skill points
- Vistas
- POI’s
- Task’s
- Event’s
- Story
- Active Guild puzzles
- Active Guild rushes
- Guild Bounty hunts (Only visible After the bounty have been engaged by the hunting guild)
- Karma Merchants
- Gold Merchants
- Token Merchants
- Laurel Merchants
- Black Lion Trading posts
- Etc

The Role Players Expanded Areas
The RPG Community have complained about the lack of “places RP”. This I personally think is strange, I do however have a few suggestions: We have a few strange tonics, such as turning you into a table or a chair. How about, instead of it altering the characters initial appearance, just let the character sit down on a chair, in a couch, on a fluffy pillow, or whatever, when using the tonic. this should allow things like “summon table” skills to be used. once summoned, a table should be usable by anyone. upon using a table, a character should sit down in the same manner as the original table summoner. This is just one idea though, it might as well be a camp fire being summoned and when left, it could leave a burnt out camp fire for a short while.
Additional skills could be allowed upon using such items:

General sitting skills
Summon Campfire (summons a campfire for others to use, thus sitting by the camp fire. the camp fire should have up to 5 slots available for people to sit by it)

Summoning furniture Items
These items should summon various things, with the same functionality as the Summon campfire. However, upon using, for instance, a table, people should be able to start mini games such as card games or chess or whats not. The number of people able to sit by the table, should vary from 2-5 depending on the mini game.

Sitting Item Voice Chat
In level 7 i suggested a voice chat. This suggestion could use the same function, to improve the RPG or mini game experience.

Mini Dungeons Skill Reward
Upon taking away the skill points we gain from leveling, how about adding a chance to get a scroll of knowledge, to the possible mini dungeon rewards upon opening the chest at the end of it?
This scroll should of course only be able to drop once a day pr. account for each mini dungeon.

Expanded Portal Entry Functionality
This is probably a rather controversial thing. But I think it would be cool with Items, allowing a player to “Save” a point. upon use, the item should Teleport the player, to that point and leave behind a “portal entry” like the mesmers skill, but with unlimited range. Of course, this should not work within puzzles, dungeons, wvw or pvp.

Account Exploration Indicators
This should be, a simple little thing. Just a small number in front of each POI/Vista/Task/Skill Point/Way Point and instead of the chest from each map, appearing after you get the chest for completing the map, indicating that “X of your Y characters have completed this stuff”.

Lesser Race Companion
Some of us, miss our henchmen. and I have been thinking a lot about that. How about we get a companion, for completing our “personal story”, the part where we help out a lesser race?
The “Hero” should be able to be equipped with gear of the players choice, whoever, “Hero armor” should consist of just 1 piece of armor, granting the full armors stat set and rune set. The “Hero” Should have a full class weapons and weapon skills available, but only racial utility, healing and elite skills. It should fill out a slot in a party. In addition, it should only be available in PvE. It should Not be available during dungeons or while a world boss is on the map or when the map is 2/3rds full.
Events should react to these Heroes, the same way they do to players. It would be awesome if we could be able to name such a companion too.

These are my thoughts for now, I will probably get back to that “companion” later. Here is for level 7

Because its too soon to start a level 9. heres some more for level 8.

Exotic Dye
We have an interesting category of rare dyes. while these dyes would in fact make more sense as being exotic. They look different in their icon, they are crazy expensive, and they are way more shiny than the regular dyes. I simply suggest you add an exotic tier dyes. this tier should contain black lion dyes, celestial, abyss, midnight fire and midnight ice. possibly a few more, but this is the base for it. these dyes seem more exotic than rare to me.

Dye Collection
Now, this is really just a simple thing. it would be kinda cool to get some kinda reward for collecting all these dyes. my suggestion would be: Add a fine dye collection, a masterwork dye collection, a rare dye collection, and an exotic dye collection. in addition, add a “Fashionable colors” in the fashion tab, and give us a title for filling it out. Make it so that its got 4 tiers:
tier 1: 200 dyes unlocked
tier 2: 300 dyes unlocked
tier 3: 400 dyes unlocked
tier 4: 473+ dyes unlocked
For completing Fashionable dyes, which basically would require to unlock all current dyes, the reward could be a rainbow color. (not that id ever use it, but i think it would be fitting, and it would fit perfectly in with bi frost.)

Racial weapon Collection
Why is this not here already? Just wondering. I mean, sure, you get a lot of karma and it would be fairly easy to get this one, but still… its 5,985,000 karma… just for the tier 3 weapons… i think its worth something…

Joining in on a story instance
When you are in the middle of your story, and is getting your butt handed to you… you have to start over, even if you have a full party just waiting to join you… It would be awesome, if people could join someone during a story instance, the same way you can join them on a different server if you are on the same map.
It could be done the same way too, just right click their name in your party and get the option “Join in story instance”.

Demo server
Why not make a demo server that anyone who doesn’t own the game, can enter? The assets of a demo server, would be that a lot of people whom are in doubt of weather they want to play the game or not, can test it out. I know a few people who don’t buy the game because, they don’t know if they will like it.

The server should have these features:

Max level: 40
Accessible areas: level 1-15 areas and major cities.
When the exp bar is filled up and the character should be level 40, the character should be locked as long as the account is on the demo server.
No black lion Gems to Gold functionality.
Free server transfer if the game is purchased.
Basic Game from the gem store for 3200 gems.
Heroic Edition Not available.
Level 30 pvp arena.
