Guild Wars 2

The features are meant to change the mechanical gameplay as in fixes or additions. It is not content as in zones, dungeons etc. What Cloin meant with describing them as something you would await from a normal MMO is that they won’t be any kind of LS, evolving features or whatever crazy ideas Anet have, they are more traditional and stable.

Also, this won’t be the only feature patch, they gonna release a serie of them, starting with the one announced. All of them will take longer time now to release in better quality and quantity.

I really think more people should be vocal about the game’s targeting system. This is the core of Gw2’s combat, and it’s absolutely horrendous, much like the camera system. Please let yourself be heard if you think this needs to change.

Also, don’t elt yourself be heared by saying it sucks, insulting the company or other parts of the community who are fine with it. Be heared with reasonible explanation so they can understand what you guys mean. Mannerable threads with what you like and dislike are never wrong, being a cool guy who insults the company, threatining them with going to Wildstar [ which is for reference by the same company so the money are going to the same place ] just make the others lose faith in your view.

Simplest thing of all to add: We need ALL FOUR DIRECTIONS on the rotating version of the mini-map. Not just North. The direction indicators must be BIGGER and ALWAYS ON TOP. (I.E. more visible!)

Super-easy! Why can’t they add that?

They took away the compass in Beta and replaced it with the mini-map, because people complained of having to constantly open their full-screen map to know where they were. Well you know what? Those of us who prefer a rotating mini-map (compass style) STILL have to constantly open our full-screen maps!

Can’t you toggle the mini-map anymore between rotating and static? I haven’t tried that since the change, but you used to be able to….

Yes, you can. You misunderstand. You get a little teeny-tiny letter N on your mini-map when you choose to use the rotating version. This letter N is constantly covered up by other map-edge symbols leaving the player completely lost about direction.

We need ALL FOUR directional indicators: N S E & W. They need to be always on top of the other map-edge icons. And it wouldn’t hurt to make them a little BIGGER. (Right now, the N is about half the size of any other map-edge icon.)

Check out the example below. (The letter N is actually hidden underneath one of the “gear” icons).

Even if you don’t use the rotating version, can’t you see my point? Can’t you support such a simple fix?

Yes the targeting system in GW2 is the worst I have seen, I play only one class/role, that being a ranger and from BETA to present my characters target is CONSTANTLY DROPPED or target switched when I use “Barrage” and has been ignored, I have been told by many others that it is a ranger thing only in that guildies who have multiple alts have this problem as well, but, ONLY when on their ranger. So, why the hate and TOTAL disregard to the ranger by this company.

I wasn’t aware I wasn’t supporting your ‘point’. Just asking if you can still choose rotating mini-map. Geez!

In underwater combat and swimming automatically change to a swim suit skin. You get a basic swim suit like the diving goggle one or you can perchance new styles in the gem store.

Ah yeah of course. Put them in the cash-shop. Why would they add some game-content by putting them in the game with fun way to get them?

The Option to block others on the forums would be truly appreciated.

Mounts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pvp balance patch, this meta is getting boring, also being able to see numbers % in enemy or allies hp bars + castbars would be an appreciated thing since in this ambit gw2 seems like an unfinished game.

• Let us hide hobosacks. I made an engineer with eye patch instead of backpack, precisely because I didn’t want a backpack.

You can already to that.

Stuff I want:
-Better home instances
-The Charrzooka to actually resemble a rocket launcher.
-Guild Halls
- More Races
-More Titles
-From " If YOU could change 7 things about GW2":
“1.Make the game more point-and-shoot friendly. Being that I play as a warrior marksman I’ve never really enjoyed having the game aim for me, although manual aiming is possible, there isn’t really proper facilitation for it. Having the option to have the character always aim where the player is looking would be nice, a crosshair and first person option would also help. I know, “It’s a MMORPG” yeah, but I don’t care so long as I’m using a ranged weapon. It just feels cheaty.

2.The earlier mentioned Land, Sea, and Air Pvp game type; with the ability to choose and customise your own unit.

3.More permanent areas to explore would be nice. I like exploring, but personally don’t like exploring the same place twice. Some more wide open maps like Diessa Plateau, or tall ones like The Bazaar of The Four Winds.

4. More race oriented Game types: Examples for Charr

5.Add more customisation related stuff: Emotes, Biography Based Titles ,Ressing Animations, Houses Stuff like that.

6. The ILWSW Machine Gun skin. (With it’s own animations) Click"

I don’t want much do I…
(^That was sarcasm)

Probably just easier to look at my profile to see what I want. =P

Hopefully the “feature update” where include a feature where I can skip the horrendous ascended grind by making all the items tradeable on the AH. At this point, it’s simply more rewarding to buy your way to this gear because playing most of the game is just so unrewarding.

1. Spell particle slider down to none.

2. Sort light, medium, heavy in TP

3. Fix all bugs of all classes, runes, sigils.

4. Upgrade AI to make fights more fun in dungeons.

5. Make non dps gear and associated support builds worth playing based on encounter design.

• Housing
• New Race
• New Class
• New Gear Sets (IN GAME)

I want to not be bored with the morbidly stagnant class builds and meta-balance.

I would like to feel joy in tinkering with traits/weapons again.

Sorry… re-reading my post does sound like I’m pointing a finger at you. Unintended. I’m looking for more support from everyone. Most people use the static map, I guess, and I’ve been trying a long time to get a little attention for this. If I could get the people who aren’t affected by this to say “yeah, that sucks for people who prefer the rotating map! They should do something about that!”, then maybe they would finally do something about it.

I would like to see a patch that fixes bugs instead of introducing even more of them. I know that Arenanet has to work with a lower budget due to no subscription but never in my life have I played an MMO as bugged as GW2 and I have played quite many low quality free to play titles in my younger years.

Events getting stuck or not even starting, champions turning unkillable at 1% HP, monsters randomly going into a permanent evade mode, achievements not being awarded properly, several class skills not functioning, broken scaling, inexplicable disconnecting…

I don’t want to see two airheaded women kiss. I want to see a playable game. So far my experience has been less than stellar. To put it mildly.

These won’t come. Feature update is mostly about mechanicaly features, classes and races come with zones and that won’t come until the start an official release of the project they announced. Gear won’t happen either, it was confirmed by the devs.

First person view is something ive wanted since headstart.
I just want to be able to take scenery screenshots in this beautiful world already >:(

An expansion… that’s what I want.

As i described in another thread which was deleted a couple of minutes ago without any explanation: I liked to see an overhaul of the current state. Especially classes (make condition viable!), dungeons (mechanics), spvp (modes and viable gear not skins!), wvw (zerg/population problem). Also it would be nice if event chains would be combined or extended. I enjoyed the events in Cursed Shore for 2 weeks again and i think if there would be a link between the event chains, people would rather farm these events than champ trains in frostgorge or queensdale.

But i am afraid that most will stay fairytale.

Irrelevant. If you lose targets all the time and mainly if that means you suddenly have another target you might want to turn of right click to select. Now you can select them with left and right mouse-click. What happens is that when people turn (holding the right mouse click) they accidentally select another target.

There’s more problems with the targeting than just the auto-deselect.

The targeting often targets neutral mobs, such as Moas, during massive battles.
The targeting often refuses to target a gigantic enemy that is right in front of you.
The targeting often refuses to target enemies that are partially off screen.
The targeting often deselects targets that go off screen.
The targeting often fails to select targets that the player is directly clicking on.
The targeting often targets enemies that are behind the enemy you are facing.
The targeting often targets an enemy you are not facing at all.

1. Better targeting system
2. Better camera + 1st person view
3. Templates for saving builds for easy switching
4. Customizable UI
5. More details in Achievements panel (don’t know what paths i have done and what not)
6. More emotes/animation/titles
7. More customization and features for guilds
8. More content that you can join in as guild group
9. More modes/difficulties for dungeons: solo/3player/5player/8players
10. Please add more NON Justin bieber faces and hairs to character creator

P.S. Probably no need to say, but i’ll say it anyway, fix bugs and performance.

I have a feeling this is going to be a disappointing patch… I made a list of 3 other MMO’s and what they offered in their latest 3 month patch and compared that to what GW2 would need to offer and it was deleted for “advertising other MMO’s and insulting GW2”… That can’t bode well…

Class Balance….

It’s an important feature -.-

Balance and bug fixing are not “features”. I’m tired of being sold the idea of this. Balance and fixes should happen as needed, and not packed as “features”.

One huge problem I have with ground targeting on Macbook is that VERY often the green circle will centre on my character and I can’t move the circle at all. I have to deactivate and reactivate the ground target to be able to move it again.

It’s very annoying when activating a static field say in WvW, I’m trying to activate it quickly but it just defaults to my location.

> New guild missions and new guild mission types

> Some fun new traits and skills

> Better scaling on large open world PVE battles (properly scaling down to 30+)

> Dungeon revamps. I would love to see at least one path in each dungeon given the same treatment they gave Twilight Assault.

Maybe I should have elaborated in that all auto-targeting is turned off/unchecked and I MANUALLY select my target by double-clicking my left mouse button(habit) on a specific target to select my active target, to add to this when I use barrage 75% of the time my selected target is randomly switched to some obscure mob. So now what am I doing wrong? Or could it be one of the rampant unaddressed bugs that keep getting swept under the carpet because it doesn’t affect EVERYONE and no-one cares about the lowly ranger anyway, right. AND the following reply summed it up PERFECTLY and is spot on.

I hope they make a way to buy gems trough SMS-payment.
There’s a lot of people that don’t have Paypal, but everybody has a phone. I think that if they make such a payment system, sales would rise quickly.
