Guild Wars 2

Balance Patches
Balance patches come out way too infrequently! A small change can have a profound effect in game! Not changing anything means nothing is changed! Don’t wait 6 months to shave off a few numbers on a skill! Do that biweekly! Or monthly! Half a year is too much! You’ll never balance perfectly so stop trying to make everything perfect! Make it good! If it’s not good, make it better! Keep making it better! And if you do this weekly, or biweekly, or monthly, your players will thank you for it! This 6 month process cannot continue my frands!

Pause Feature
A few weeks ago Vee Wee was watching a tournament on Blu’s stream! One person on the blue team disconnected and the casters were like, “Hey one guy on red team please AFK in spawn until blue guy comes back!” It was the saddest most ghettoest thing Vee Wee has ever seen! This needs to be addressed ASAP for the sake of esports! ESPORTS!

Match History
Vee Wee would like to see Vee Wee’s match history! How many kills Vee Wee got, the points, who else was in the game, etc! Great idea!

Voice Communication
This makes it so people not partied up can communicate too if the other communication suggestions aren’t to your liking Arenanet! Communication is key, and voice communication is the easiest form of it! Yes there will be naysayers to this Vee Wee knows! “But Vee Wee, people will just spam the mic! It will be thuper annoying!” Mute them you idiot! That’s my response!

Build Templates
Sometimes Vee Wee wants to play Vee Wee’s #1 Engi build NA! Vee Wee’s P/P condi build! Sometimes Vee Wee wants to play triple gadgets! It would be very convenient if Vee Wee could do this with a press of a button! Vee Wee is tired of changing all the traits, all the sigils, all the runes, all the weapons, all the amulets! Convenience is great!

That’s it for now! Maybe Vee Wee will update this with more but Vee Wee is too tired!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Vee Wee has made many PvP suggestions! Even though Vee Wee is a Guild Warts 2 critic, it’s always to help better the game! Vee Wee just wants Guild Warts 2 to be the best game it can be! Vee Wee is frandly like that! Here is a compilation of suggestions made by Vee Wee!

Test servers!
Test things before they go live! Balance changes! New maps! Vee Wee knows that obviously Arenanet tests new changes! But it’s too small scale! Invite people to sign up for your test servers! Invite top PvPers to test balance changes! Many of them just want to see the game get better and can offer useful input! You guys said that you want 2 weeks to collect feedback from the Ready Up videos! We can give you all the feedback you want on what it looks like! But if we can’t play it, all our feedback is essentially worthless! Something might look overpowered but it really isn’t! A change might look minor, but could have a big impact in an actual game!

A perfect example of this is Skyhammer! Internally you guys said it was great! Turns out it’s the most despised map in the short history of Guild Warts 2 maps! Speaking of Skyhammer…

Skyhammer!
We’ve all seen this before my frands! Skyhammer needs to change! It doesn’t necessarily have to go, but goshdarn it my frands it needs to change! And Arenanet taking your time to find the perfect solution is not helping! Make a change! If it doesn’t work out, make another change! Just do something! Not changing things means things don’t get changed! It’s so simple!

Split PvP/PvE/WvW skills!
You cannot balance for all 3 game modes! They are completely different and often use different abilities! Buffing something minor in PvP could have dire consequences in the other game modes! Please don’t say that this will confuse the players! We are not morans! We can figure it out! If you were so scared of confusing players, why did you even release the game! Vee Wee was confused as heck when the game first came out! But Vee Wee learned! And now Vee Wee is the #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

More communication in game!
The key to victory in any game mode is communication! If an enemy Thief is going to backcap our home point, I am not going to type it out while being trained by an enemy Necromancer! Take a look at this feature that Dota 2 has! It’s simple and quick and can be extremely useful! http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Chat_Wheel Vee Wee thinks this could be an excellent addition to Guild Warts 2 and not just PvP! PvE and WvW too!

Vee Wee thinks it would also be cool if you could combine some chat and skills! For example if Vee Wee is playing a Thief and Vee Wee’s teammate is down, Vee Wee could use Shadow Refuge and say in team chat at the same time, “Hey frand! I’m using Shadow Refuge! Don’t use any skills you thilly goothe!” Or maybe if Vee Wee is playing a Warrior and has Balanced Stance up, Vee Wee could stomp and at the same time in chat say, “Hey frands! I’m stab stomping!” Who here has been in a situation where multiple people started stomping with no one cleaving, and the bad guy ended up getting revived! Vee Wee has! Communication my frands!

Passive Skills
Vee Wee thinks passive skills like Shared Anguish, Incendiary Powder, Reaper’s Protection, Mirror of Anguish, etc should have a tell! Maybe an icon near your boons similar to the icon that Sigil of Doom grants you! Maybe classes could have an aura to show that these strong passive skills are off cooldown! Incendiary Powder could make an Engineer’s hands glow all fiery! Reaper’s Protection could surround the Necromancer with black smoke! This will help you keep track of your cooldowns, as well as let the enemy know so he can maybe counter these things! Too much randomness is not fun my frands! Wahoo!

Leavers!
Everybody knows 4v5s are not fun! Well there isn’t much you can do to stop a leaver! But you can make sure other people aren’t penalized for leaving! Vee Wee has an idea to combat leavers! First penalize all leavers with dishonored even if it was the first game they left! A first time offense can only be 5 minutes! But every subsequent time will add time to dishonored! Second set up leavers into 2 categories! We can call them early and late! If the game is a 4v5 or less within the first 3 minutes, then everybody is free to leave and join another game as soon as they leave with no effect on rank or leaderboard or whatever! After 3 minutes, you are free to leave and play another game but the outcome of the match will affect your rank and leaderboard status and whatever!

AFK Check
Queue times often go above 10 minutes! Have a ready up button before everybody gets ported into the match to prevent AFKs! If 10 people do not ready up in a set amount of time then everyone goes back into queue! So simple!

Hello frands! Vee Wee here #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

How many people here have a bank filled with ascended rings or ascended weapons/armor with useless stats! Golly gee willikers my frands I know I sure do! And who here thinks it’s thilly that we can’t salvage these useless items! I do! I do! Thus Vee Wee, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80, is proposing a change! We should be able to salvage these high quality items with Black Lion Salvage Kits! That way Arenanet makes money off people buying Black Lion Salvage Kits from the gem store, and the players benefit by getting ascended materials from these items! For example, a piece of ascended light armor can be salvaged into a Bolt of Damask! If you agree, let them know by replying to this thread! And if you disagree, let us know why you think this shouldn’t happen!

Wahoo! Bye frands!
