Guild Wars 2

While balance issues will always be around, there are certain broken aspects of the game which can be resolved once and for all. All of these have been mentioned countless times in other threads and posts, but they can’t be repeated often enough!

Trouble with targeting: Pets, spirits and illusions are most likely going to stick around for a long time. That’s fine. However, it is completely unacceptable, that these npc’s should prevent players from fetching the right targets. This becomes EXTREMELY frustrating, in particular when you take into account all the teleports and stealthing going on!

Solution: Add the option for the ’’tab’’ key button only to select players. This should perhaps not include mesmer clones, but it should be possible to skip all other npc’s when you are tabbing to get the right target. Considering how fast-paced this game is currently, targeting should be a VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR process. There’s nothing remotely acceptable about losing a fight because your targeting gets kittened up by pets, spirits or other garbage on the screen.

This brings us to the next issue – animations and effects. In a fight with more than 3 people, sometimes even two, there’s simply too many huge and fancy animations and effects going off. No doubt it is quite pretty to look at. But since we are supposed to read our opponents through the character animations, all these fancy effects become a MAJOR hurdle. Either these effects have to be toned down, or character animations have to become a lot more apparent. Or simply add the kitten cast bars and get it over with!

The last issue, which ties into the previous ones – asuras. I don’t have to say much. They are too small for opponents to read their character animations, which provides a ridicilous advantage to the asura players. Introduce the option to scale all characters up client-side, so those of us who aren’t playing asuras have a chance to read their character animations. Or, once again, add the casting bars…

These issues are all very frustrating whenever I decide to play a few matches in guild wars 2. Please take care of it, or explain to us why it isn’t possible for you to resolve these awfully annoying issues.
