Since GW2 is a game, that was able to reach players from various other Games, like the FPS-Genre, MOBAS, other MMO’s, Strategy-Games etc. I thought it would be interesting to see which Features or Mechanics you miss from other Games that you think could work in GW2.
For me, coming from an SC2, GW1 and a little bit of a MOBA-Background, I miss one thing in particular – it would be a big change for sure, but it would open a lot of doors for GW2:
- Being able to switch Control and Cameraposition from one Char to a pet, a Location, an Illusion etc.
With that I mean that I could switch from Controlling my Ranger to my Pet, having full control over their movement, while my Main-Char would go into “Auto-pilot”. Also, it would be cool if I could klick on the Map and my view would go over there (this would maybe make FOG of War a possible feature or maybe you could only klick on positions on the Map where you had Allies, Pets or static Stuff like Spirits. That could enable you to guard Positions with Pets/Spirits etc. simply to be able to watch if some enemy is going that way). Just imagine how fun it would be to make mindgames with controlling and jumping with your Clones, so that the opponent would think that it’s the right target or the possibilities fro movement and scouting a ranger would bring to the table, when you could move and control and have vision over a place on the Map with your Pet, thats far away from the actual Ranger.
Another thing I kinda miss are Items: What if there was some sort of Item-shop as another “Point of Interest” on the Map, where you would have to meditate for a few seconds to be able to get an Item. With the above feature implemented, you could maybe get sth. like a Ward of Sight (an Invisible static object that gives you vision over a part of the Map where you placed it). Maybe there could also be sth like a reveal-Effect Item that lets you see Invisible Targets, small Stat-boosters etc. Maybe you could even implement some sort of a “loadout-feature” that lets players choose a few items at the beginning of a Match.
Again, those would be pretty big features and I don’t think that they are essential to the games success as a PvP-Title, I just think that the Idea is interesting! ^^’
So: What do you like from other Games and think that could work in GW2? Again, it can sth big or small, this thread isn’t about what GW2 needs, but what you think would be a fun Idea to implement!
