Guild Wars 2

Hello everybody,

Every day I go to my study by train. This takes about 1 hour traveling time. Every time I use my 4G (Internet) connection on my mobile phone to go to the Guild Wars 2 forum I have to make sure it is me. Now this made me think.

My taughts came to this: A Guild Wars 2 app, where you can easy access the forums. Specially made for mobile phones and tablets. I think this could increase the out of game involvement of players alot. If the devs make this app a one time pay, I am still willing to buy it. It would also increase the income of ArenaNet to expand more guild Wars 2 content.

I am really looking forward for an app like this, although I know that the chance is very little ArenaNet is working on it. I still would like to suggest this and I hope the Developers also read this. It might make them think about it.

Please let me know if hat you think about this.

Greetings Fvux.

lol pay for a forum app? Are you mad?

Do want yep yep.

Someone on these forums has to be an app developer. Get at it bro!

I’d pay for one too but they cancelled all app development just after launch. Interviews I read were of claims of having locations of guild members on minimaps on mobile and browser systems so you could hookup with your friends in game, guild chat, TP access and minor inventory access for TP control, etc.

This would have been awesome imo.

I think paying for an app is very normal. People spend working time on developing the app and that costs money. It would also give Guild Wars another income since they mostly rely on the income of the gem store and the game sell.

Next to that: If you don’t want to spend money on it, then don’t buy it. It doesn’t give you any disadventage.

Mobile TP app plz.. Thx

they’d have to fix this one first.

But what you can do without eating too much of your bandwidth is get an RSS reader app for your phone and subscribe to the boards you want.

Yeah, I’ll give them money for a TP app, or for an all so hated “armory” app, I’d even give them money for an interactive tyrian map. But I won’t pay for a forum app. Are you people serious? You want to pay to read the forums? REALLY? How would it feel if you had to pay for the google mail app, or the for yahoo mail app?
What’s next? Want me to pay for air? Oh wait that’s already happening in China.

Maybe not forum app, but game chat app – like Guild chat and friends list could make a good app.
Blizzard has this for like 3 or so years now and even charges for it. People still use it tho

God I hated that in Rift – people on their cell phones chatting away. ANNOYING!

^^this. That is exactly what I would love to have. I know you can’t really play with an app, but I’d love to be able to do the forums, chat, TP stuff, inventory, etc.

A mobile app for the forum? Why an app which might ask for ridiculous rights while a mobile version of the website will do all good?

For info, I sometimes use the website on my mobile phone and it’s hard to use, though I would never buy an app that allows me access to some content I’ve already paid for (to have a write access on the forum, you have to have an account, which you paid for).

I really fail to see what an app would add that a mobile version website couldn’t.

A forum app doesn’t give players with a smartphone any benefit in the game. It would just increase the involvement in the society. Next to that, yes I also would like to see a TP or chat or some kind, however I think there might be problems with app safety then because you are working on many different servers while on mobile phone. However still a good idea.
