Guild Wars 2

I’m a very simple man that has three very specific suggestsions.

1. Colour Blind Mode

I’m colour blind and I particularly have difficulty with red/green/brown, sadly, your rings are red on mostly brownish/reddish/greenish floors. I frankly don’t give a hoot if it “breaks immersion”, cause it’s hard to stay immersed when you’re constantly being punished for otherwise avoidable things, just because of your inability to see certain colours.

2. On-HUD latency/ping and FPS display on the corner of the map box.

I need this information on-the-fly and readily accessible. Having to go to the settings menu to see this is a chore, and it would make a whole lot more sense on the HUD rather than a menu that not everyone bothers to check on a regular basis.

3. Better OCE/SEA latency.

I don’t care how you guys fix it, but please do. A constant average of 300-400 ping in an action-based MMO is a handicap no one wants.

I can actually dig 300-400 ping. Yesterday evening on the 11:55 pm (Philippine Time) Teq run, my ping jumped to FOUR THOUSAND when the undead dragon arrived.

I don’t know what’s wrong. I know the net sucks in this part of the world – the Philippines is, after all, holder of the title, “Worst and Most Expensive Internet on Sol-3” – but I’ve only rarely experienced this level of bad ping only recently.

And seconding your request for a ping/fps HUD readout.

1 – I agree completely
2 – Yup, it would be nice.
3 – Anet can’t do anything about it, the only thing they could do is make an OCE/SEA server and whoever wants to play there go, but it will be like the difference between EU/NA, you can’t interact among them.

1 and 2 yes, 3 is more of wish, but no guarantees of any kind possible.

1 & 3 are really good idea. Video games need to be more color blind friendly.

A guy can dream… If only ANet truly listened…

EDIT: odd, I didn’t get a single notification when you guys posted your replies.

3. I think is impossible to fix significantly.
As an alternative to that I would like them to TEST on a system with ~300 latency, that way when situations arise that are impossible (there are some leyline gliding places for example that impossible to use with such a ping for example), they can modify them.

I’ve been using WTFast as a solution for latency. It takes me down to about 220ish ping, which is more playable. It isn’t free, but it’s worth it for me. Just a heads up.

I’ve got friends that use WTFast too, and I’ve been contemplating on throwing $100US at WTFast to fix the ping too…the only problem is that GW2 is the only game I have ping problems with (no problems with WoW, D3, Warframe, and HotS).

Those aren’t milliseconds, those are just regular seconds
