A Roleplayer's Plea (to our Dev team)

Emotes is top of my list for RP… the lack of emotes is horrific, not to mention if you target a player the current emotes don’t state you have that person targeted, it’s just a general “you wave.”

First target someone, then type /wave @

That will turn out like: Carrigan Highsinger waves at Johnathan the Bard.

As long as you put a space then a @ after your emote while targeting someone, it will do as you expect it to. But I agree, more emotes in general would be lovely.

A Roleplayer's Plea (to our Dev team)

I’ve played this game since BWE2 on Tarnished Coast. I am one of few who help hold the Guild Summits every few weeks for our server-wide guild summit event that even some devs have come out to. I am a roleplay guild GM and an active community member on our server. That said, I have a short list of suggestions for our dev team that may encourage your roleplayers to remain instead of splinter off into other games that we’ve either come from or new ones that are coming out.

List
- Actual town clothes. Similar to the ones the NPCs all over the map wear, not hoodies that aren’t even hoodies. That was a waste of your efforts.

- The ability to sit on furniture without hovering in the air, but actually sit in a chair or on a bench/couch without sitting like you should be at a picnic.

- AFK tags. Something as simple as typing /afk to alter the color of our player tags, changing it back to the standard coloring after typing /afk once more.

- Name changes -added- to the complete makeover package available through the BLTC.

- If you’re not going to provide player/guild housing despite what rumors or the wiki itself has said, at the very least, open more buildings within DR and consider doing -something- with the collapse. PvE/PvPrs idle in your cities, RPrs actually occupy your cities and bring them to life.

I’m sure there are others who have several fantastic ideas, but these are 5 important ones to me, and several others that I’ve had vent to me with regards to the enjoyment factor where they are concerned. In truth, I’m afraid we’ve already lost a good portion of our Tarnished Coast population to older MMOs like WoW, LOTRO, RIFT or Tera. If you don’t offer any reason to stay, those who play on your unofficial RP servers will leave and thus leave Tarnished Coast & Piken Square near empty if not entirely. So please, strongly consider making some additions on behalf of your roleplayers as we want to enjoy the game as well.

Thank you.

Lion's Arch Overflow and Roleplay Concerns

It already takes forever to load in to LA, let alone sit in frustration in an overflow queue. Please, please, read and thoroughly consider the options presented or contrive one that is more suitable. LA is neglected by many because of the issues brought forth by Halorin, and in assisting to fix these issues, you will see many return back to the port city and enrich the experience of so many others by promoting roleplay.

Game seizes when tabbed out

For some reason, very recently (the last day or two), my game seizes (Not responding) when I tab out of the game to deal with my guild website or browse the 2RP forums between emotes or downtime or whatever. I come back to check on my chatbox only to realize everything is at a standstill. So I’m forced to shut down the game and relog. This is annoying and I’ve not had to deal with this before. I’m not entirely certain if it’s on your end or mine, but in speaking with a few members and friends, they’ve had the same experience or situation happen to them as well.

Login Errors & Continuous Processes

Alright, since the Jan 28 installment, I have gotten the Login Error at least 4-5 times and I have to constantly go into task manager to close out the GW2.exe files that are still processing after I’ve closed the game down.

This is pretty exhausting to cope with on top of the lack of care ANet offers their roleplay community. It’s disheartening to have to fight for a game that hardly offers me anything.

Where are the town clothes?

ANet promised a lot of things in and around launch and very few have been seen. Instead they’ve come out with content releases that favor the PvP/PvE aspect of the game and nothing as far as RP goes. I get that in the grand scheme of things, the RP community is really only subject to 2 servers out of dozens, but we’re the most loyal. Give us town clothes, housing and furniture we can sit in…and lock down.

TESO and a slew of other games are coming out later this year/early next, I would hate for ANet to lose a bulk of their community to these other games when quick adjustments can be made and PvP/PvE content patches could be more spread out.

Lastly, all I have to say is Quaggan Backpack. SMH

This is a valuable item to pay special note to ANet. You have a ton of role players who would pay out the butt for this ability. Please fix this asap, thank you.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Name_Change_Contract

At one point in time the actual ability did exist and then we’ve got character redesign kits that don’t have the option to change names, yet we have the option to change sexes. Please, for the love of all that is holy, please put name changes into the gem store or adjust the redesign kits to include a name change. This is beyond ridiculous at this point and should be no small feat to have it done. I have had my name changed before by an admin and all it took was a small adjustment on the back end.

So PLEASE add them. Thank you.
(Adjusted because I received an infraction for using caps in my thread caption.)

Uninstanced Salma: Topic for Keeping It

in Suggestions

Not only do I agree with Sakero’s well thought out statement and proposal to our incredible Dev team, but I was also present at the TC Guild Summit. Our Devs play with us from time to time, they know the value we seek in our environments used as backdrops for our roleplay. Uninstanced Salma is -not- a bug or map exploit. No one gains anything of value from going in there besides an additional area to roleplay in. Divinity’s Reach is huge, but TC is heavily populated and plenty of roleplayers have laid claim or stake in areas frequented by many, so finding a suitable place for an appropriate scene or to use the hospital or to use the marketplace or to hold meetings with various GM’s in the tavern…to take it all away from us would leave -several- people left with limited choices. Please leave our server/map the way it is. Thank you.
