Guild Wars 2

I am a man with a ponytail, and I support this post! Fortunately for me, though, I was able to find a human hairstyle that looks pretty much like my hair when it’s not in a pony tail, so I wasn’t too miffed. But I digress, ponytails . . . everypony wants the option!

I love the death system in this game because it both makes you feel heroic for reviving a fallen player, and gives you hope that someone will come along and rescue you.

But I have become annoyed that too often I will be busting my butt to try and reach a fallen player, and just as I get to there body through a horde of monsters, they vanish, presumably to the nearest waypoint, leaving me disappointed and even a little betrayed. Why didn’t that wait for me?

Likewise, when I am dead, I hold down alt to highlight any nearby players I might appeal to for help, but frequently the camera and terrain will prevent any line of sight, so I give up assuming I have been left for dead.

So my suggestion is to give a dead player some way of seeing nearby living players so they can weigh their chances of rescue before deciding to teleport. My suggestions would be to either make the living players visible on the minimap, or highlight their nameplates through terrain, or both.

Also, folks, when you see Daegal Master Thief unconscious on the ground, help a guy out! ;-)

Also, great game and keep up the great work!

I am surprised I couldn’t find a topic on this considering there was a lot of complaint during the betas about the lack of variety in human female body types, but I would like to raise the subject again.

Human female body types supplied during character creation do have a small variety of bust and butt sizes, but they are all attached to frames that range only from anorexic to underweight. One could make the argument that Tyria is short on food supply, resulting in underfed people, but I think that we can rule that out with the Norn male body types (but that’s another discussion).

I suggest that more body types be added to the game, particularly for human females, but also across all races and genders. I understand that most people do not want to play an overweight character, but with the general popularity of heavy characters in The Old Republic, I think it’s safe to say that some people would really appreciate the opportunity to look unique. Alternatively, implement a body slider instead of body types.

Secondly, I noticed that the available human male face types tended to fall into two categories, tough guy and manchild. It took some finagling with the facial sliders to get even close to the dashing look that I had in mind. I would recommend adding more facial types to allow for a larger variety of people who don’t want to look effeminate or grisly. ALTERNATIVELY, more facial sliders such as “age” or “skin texture” could be implemented to give player more control over character creation.

Ultimately, more options, or more sliders, please!

Also, great game! Thank you!
