Guild Wars 2

Things i would like to be changed.

1:Bring back 100% completion on WVW maps and maybe move POI and View Points outside towers. Without this i would have never played WVW. (I LOVE WVW)
2:The last Story level should be kept how it was with joining a group. It gives people an idea of what dungeons are like.
3:Either i have played the game far to long now but most bosses part from LvL40+ bosses on fractals are beaten within minutes. Stop nerfing them ?
4:There’s tones of things i want changed in wvw but i don’t think people have the same view as me on this . AC’s should be nerfed or they can only be placeed in areas that are not inline with gates on towers. I would like trebs removed yes removed! I see so many people just sitting in keeps and towers spending 30 to 50 minutes to take down a wall when they could be having fun with a group or something.
5:Clothing bought from the gem store should always be free to change on your character. We bought them we should be able to use them as many times as we like. The items you unlock through achievements you can use as many times as you like, I don’t see why this is the same for items you have bought with real money!

Part from these things I love Guild Wars 2!

My thoughts
1. Would be nice but not going to happen as they would need to remove the titles and gifts from people without wvw map completion. What if they already made a legendary weapon?
2. Disagree. I remember even in the early days it was hard to find a party. I imagine it’s even harder now. Most people will have already run dungeons prior to this story point.
3. Totally agree.
4. I’ve only been in wvw to do map completion so can’t comment.
5. Agree but transmutes are quite easy to get for free, just needles me having to use them on a gem store item.

1) A lot of people don’t love WvW, and don’t want to feel forced to do it for map completion—I had no problem with it personally, I like WvW. It was Anet giving in to crybabies, but those babies are happy now and I’m relatively unaffected, so who cares.

2) A large majority of players never completed their story because it required a group for the last mission. And like most story dungeons, once someone completes the story mode, odds are they never do it again—makes it harder to find a group to finish something you’ve been doing solo literally the entire time.

3) Most bosses were beatable in “minutes”. 2-3 minutes is a long time to be beating on something in a 5man group. Time it out, it’s longer than you’d think. That and the longer content lingers unchanged, the better the playerbase gets at completing it. People are better geared and know how to complete dungeons and bosses easily. We’ve had years to practice.

4) Don’t WvW nearly often enough to have an opinion. But it is odd you want to remove trebs because some people sit on it for 30-50min, and in your mind they would have more fun doing something else. Have you considered that person may very well be having fun?

5) Wholeheartedly agree.

They should add an achievement like “World & Mist” or something like that, for the people that did the whole World Completion the old, harder way. Maybe even a title, like “Been there, done that… and that too.”

I personally struggled like a month to complete the WvW part (I’m not very fond of WvW, or good at it…), and only 3 days later they announced we don’t need WvW completion anymore… I felt so trolled it made me laugh like a maniac for a hour.

@Ardid – YES! “Been there, done that… and that too.” I want that title.

I, personally, don’t care about titles maybe change the color of the star? I did World Completion the hard way on 1 of my characters and was really close on the rest of them and then they changed it and blam all my 80s had it and it just didn’t matter, it felt unearned.

Agree with #5 wholeheartedly.

1. Please don’t. I don’t like WvW at all. For me, it was enough to do world completion with one character when it still included WvW maps. My server isn’t that strong so it took weeks to compelete the maps. Pretty sure I’m not alone with that.
2. Many asked for this change. It was “strange” that players who did the whole story on their own were forced to form a group only to see the ending of the personal story. Visiting dungeons + taking time to watch cutscenes don’t work well in many cases. Even in AC story ppl can become rude very fast.
3. Yes. In fact, please make dungeon bosses stronger again. It has become way too easy when you are in a group.
4. Sorry don’t know, again, I’m not into WvW.
5. You mean armor skins, right? I’d appreciate that idea. With 800-400gems they are already pretty expensive, it’s a shame they are “lost” after only one use.

1. They changed the world exploration system because the upcoming changes to borderlands in HoT. There will be new borderlands on rotation, which means that it may take weeks/months for your server to access and “own” a borderland that you haven’t yet got. By all means, make it another achievement with a reasonable reward (repeatable for each character), but do not include it into current world completion.

2. I’m pleased that it is this way. A lot of people were complaining that this story instance was an annoying grey area- they wanted to complete the story, but didn’t want to enter a dungeon. A-net is all about inclusive play, so that’s why I assumed they made this change. It is still possible to enter with a group, so I don’t see the problem.

3. I don’t know about bosses being nerfed, but power creep is definitely a thing. We’ll be seeing stronger bosses in HoT with the new fractal system where fractal difficult is raised to 100.

4. Not sure- not a massive WvW-er. However, I do know that the upcoming borderlands in HoT will have new mechanics to capture them/defend them. It’s quite possible that due to the terrain, using standard siege weapons will be much more difficult than what we’re all used to.

5. I don’t know. I get the notion, but transmutation charges are so easy to obtain… the other thing is, people who want to change their look often pay into the gemstore (where you can also buy transmutation charges).

Point one only.

Imo, the reason they took WvW out is because of the new WvW map that’s coming with the expansion, not because of people crying on the forum. There was no way to make the new map equal in effort and because of the area control features in the new map from one side controlling key areas, it may be considerably harder to reach all points on the map. They must have decided to remove it from map completion since it wouldn’t be fair to those without 100% map if they were suddenly required to do a version that was significantly harder.
