Guild Wars 2

irst off, I’d like to thank ArenaNet for the amazing game, really enjoying every minute of it so far. Here are some small things that I’d like to have implemented and changed in the game. Only minor things that could make the game a bit more fun.
Chat
A better way at customizing it. What I have in mind is, an option to be able to change the chat font, colour of the different channels, etc. For an example, I would be able to change my guild chat from yellow to green, from one font to the other.
PvP
I’m enjoying PvP a lot right now. Stuff I had in mind is a better queue system. Right now when you open the sPvP tab, you have several different servers listed from which you can choose from. I think it looks a bit messy, especially since most of the time servers that are listed as empty actually are full.
Play Now option is decent, but it also isn’t working for me always. So I’d guess that’s a bug to be fixed. What could be cool is instead of listed servers we’d have maps listed instead, and a random option. And then you just queue up/enter to the closest best server.
Another option I’d enjoy is queue as group. I enjoy playing with my friends, and it could take a while until we all get on the same server. This could be considered pub-stomping in some regards, but I don’t think that would be a problem with the balancing system the game currently has, in which it shuffles the players. Playing against them would be fun too, and for the more serious stuff there are tournaments.
That’s more or less it, I think. I don’t know if this stuff can be implemented in a patch, or in a future expansion. If you guys feel like adding some of your own suggestions, go ahead. :-)

Just started having some lag today on Piken Square. Mostly around 0.5-1sec delay.

A small thing to note for your future videos if you plan to continue on releasing them – make sure to up your microphone volume up a bit or to reduce the music volume down so people can hear you a little bit better. Other than that, a cool video and kudos for making it. :-)

This game not having LFG feature is one of the great benefits. Searching for people on your own realm builds up a stronger community. I might be hated for using the following example, but look at World of Warcraft. At first when it launched, the community was strong, and there were less annoying whiners, etc. Because everything was on same realm, being an annoyingkittenwouldn’t do you anything good. People would stop inviting you to groups, battlegrounds(they were realm only way back).

But now these days it’s all cross-realm, and the community is shattered. Why even bother leaving the world when you can just camp in the City? I am glad GW2 is centered about exploring the world around you, finding your fellow realm members and grouping up with them to take down some dungeons. I hope ANet keeps it this way, and doesn’t falls down to implementing it.

I do hope they keep it this way. All rewards should be purely cosmetics – a better looking gear. Getting better gear through PvP with better stats only gives an unfair advantage and takes away the competitive side of it. PvP shouldn’t be about who has the better gear, it should be about who is more skilled, which team has better communication, etc.
