I had a similar post before and this is a new one. Hopefully we can get others to post theirs too. The goal is to post ideas that are small enough that they won’t cause any delays in the regular feature roadmap.
Make every racial skill available to every other race at higher skill point cost
e.g. Skills that cost 10SP on Asura would cost 30SP on other races, 30SP -> 50SP, etc..
Continuously updated leaderboard of the most popular trait/skills combination in the current patch
So we can see the top specs (e.g. top ranking spvp/wvw players) and what the “current meta” really is. We know ANet has and is looking at this data already with the “build diversity” push.
Allow new players “one-click” to pre-draft into one of the popular or ANet pre-built specs
Kind of like auto-drafting in fantasy football.
Make up-lvl character less likely to rally enemy invaders.
Right now some players (and maybe you say elitists or guilds) don’t like to run with up-levels because they become rallybots for the zerg. This should ease the pain. e.g. < lvl 30 50% less chance to rally, and < lvl80 30% less etc.. (maybe even < 100 wxp rank 10% less)
Reset hour (or day) by “league” to avoid skill lags (need to check CPU usage graph across servers).
That way we somewhat load balance the servers better.
Outmanned buff increases magic find to 300%.
I understand the stands on no-stats buff, but even the magic find, karma buff etc..aren’t attractive enough right now. I suggest making them each 10X better.
Make teamspeak builtin part of the game. (slightly bigger idea)
Maybe with gem cost for guild channel and some kind of community police mechanism if we have public ones.
Toxic PvE integration is a good try, but can be more integrated to the lore. (slightly bigger idea)
I always loved the fact that in other games WvW is integral part of PvE and part of the “lore”. I like the fact that ANet is venturing into this by adding the Toxic events in WvW, but right now its done in a way that feels unintegrated. Frankly, a lot of players feel that its an annoyance.
Perhaps better events and lore can be developed for the Ogre/Frog/Dredge camps in EB and the Harpy/Skrits in the BL’s.
Not too bad beside the PvE integration ( toxic kitten ), WvW is in the “mists” so there shouldnt be anything related to living story going on there, you dont see the mobs camping capspots in Spvp so why in wvw?
Big Babou, Ranger for life.
Madness Rises [Rise] – Banners Hold.
Don’t argue with idiots, they pull you down their level and own you with experience.
New WvW only Utility Skill: The Hammer of the Gods. A ground targeted AoE skill that increases in damage exponentially depending on how many players are nearby.
Want to blob? Go ahead, risk The Hammer of the Gods falling upon you.
