Glad to see others like the idea of Rapiers coming to the game even back in GW1 while playing my mesmer, I felt so horrible playing with a ‘wand’ and thought my character would look completely classy with a rapier hehe

ROLE PLAYING on/off indicator

Thanks for the support – I see some people who aren’t even RPers even support the idea. Good stuff -much appreciated!

@FangedTerror – Great suggestion!

@war – Incorrect assumption and because you don’t seem to quite get why this would be great for the RP community, I’m going to guess you’re not an RPer yourself. It’s cool – thank you for posting your opinion either way

Yeah.. I’ve been wondering why this isn’t designed to work as logic would dictate since beta…

Agreed. Quite frankly I’m amazed there aren’t more 2 handed weapons types.

ROLE PLAYING on/off indicator

I was talking with people on Tarnished Coast and they all agreed, it would be great if we could have some sort of indicator which we could toggle on/off that would show that we are actively role playing.

Some of my best gameplay experiences in MMORPG’s come from when I stumble upon someone and we just randomly happen to be role players – and both of us jump right into it!

IF we had such an indicator, we could actually see who else is actively looking to RP/IS RPing and this would cause LOT more great in-character meetings and interactions.

Stow/activate pet

Being able to permanently stow your pet is a no-brainer, I can’t believe the game didn’t launch with it.

Absolutely agree. This would help quite a lot in some of the indoor platformers which can already be annoying enough to navigate with camera issues let alone a pet obscuring things.

Rat-Tastrophe: Balancing?

Milennin.4825, thank you for the offer. I’m actually on Tarnished Coast

Wiser with Age.3714, thank you so much for understanding – it actually makes me feel better knowing I wasn’t the only one suffering with this. I was starting to really dislike GW2 because of this (I did manage to beat it a few tries later, heavily damaged, used a repair canister) and there’s a group of hyenas that ABSOLUTELY destroy me in moments in Gendaran Fields.

All of this made me feel like my armor was a joke and I was feeling really frustrated and fed up with the game.

I think I might just need to step away from the game for a while… it’s starting to feel a bit grindy which is sad because overall, I love the game.

Anyway, thanks for the posts guys.

Rat-Tastrophe: Balancing?

I don’t know who balanced this but as a level 58 guardian with appropriate gear, I can’t understand why these little hellbugs are able to overwhelm me CONSTANTLY as my npc allies die away like they’re made of paper.

It’s a solo experience yet the player is so overwhelmed by enemies constantly attacking, I can’t seem to do anything aside from watching my health drop.

Where the hell is the balancing? Not sure if I’m ‘playing wrong’ because I’m doing everything available in my arsenal to combat these things…

Just seems really truly terribly balanced.

I would absolutely love to see some Musketeer style rapiers make their way into the game perhaps for Thief/Mesmer and maybe even Necro/Elementalist classes.

Just check these images

Some great creative weapons could be made.

First Person View for platformers

While some of the platformers are fun, I find quite a few to be absolutely aggravating. As a ranger, your pet can get kind of annoying moving about… and putting them away only clears them until you take a tiny bit of damage by whatever means.

The awkward camera angles remind me of terribly designed levels from other games… meanwhile it often feels like the character is wearing roller skates when they try to stick a landing or they decide to just ROLL off, or just don’t jump when you hit space…

Anyway I think an option to hide pet until THE PLAYER decides to bring them out again would help, as would a first person view option.

I did click it unfortunately, before coming here, because it seemed like a really legit email. However, I then came here, changed my password and posted this. Hope others will see this.

Thank you kindly.

A little love for RPers? A few ideas...

So I was thinking after playing a mission which had me drinking a pirate under the table while I’m undercover on a story mission… kitten why can’t I visit a tavern and do this with another player?

Just one of many things I think you guys could do which offers players MORE to do than DE’s, personal story missions and exploration (which I love btw).

So I’d love to see more ‘community’/‘rp’ related content make its way into the game.

-DRUNKEN Bar Brawls: The skills could all be question marks and you’re never quite sure what you’re doing

-DRAGONBREATH KEG: Take a drink and you’re teleported to a random location in the world (Lord of the Rings did something like this – hilarious)

-Drinking Contests and other friendly contests

-‘Spawn’ emotes such as /campfire where your character actually sets up a campfire in front of them – just for the sake of sitting around a campfire at night with fellow adventurers. Perhaps doing so for 5 minutes would offer a buff, even?

-Town Clothing Shop: Offer WAY more options for town clothing than currently available. Right now, the ‘Town Clothing’ option is pretty much never used… by anyone it seems.

-Player Homes: This is a big one for sure, but people LOVE decorating their own home with their achievements, furniture, etc. and then having others over to show off your home, especially if there’s interactive stuff you can buy for that home such as gaming tables, hiring a band, etc.

-Guild Homes: See above

-Interactions with furniture… I’m a little sad that I can’t sit at a table with friends and share an ale.

I guess my point is, all the content in the game is wonderful but some players definitely want to do more than hop on for a while just to run some missions. Some players actually want to more or less move in and live in Tyria

LOVE the GW2 8bit theme :)

Best part of the whole Super Adventure Box thing but really, I’m amazed at the amount of work that went into this.

I’d love to see more instances like this — but for ACTUAL GW2 type stuff which you can go into by either earning the right to or it’s available to all.
