Guild Wars 2

I would agree that dynamic should mean dynamic – instead – it’s like we have static events. So sick of the grinding – when an even is done – it should remain done. The option of not doing them is there, but still… It’s so annoying, granted other players have to do them and phasing is just as annoying as WoW has taught us. Immersive dynamic events as you say would be great.

Can’t stand invisible walls – free exploration is the key.

I would add more emotes, reduce the amount of NPCs in areas, add more graphical content to empty areas of the game (sometimes you enter a room and all it has is a table and a chair.) Player housing, mounts, more races and classes.

I agree – but way points = easy way out from having to develop mounts.

However, I’m sure it doesn’t mean “No mounts at all… At some eventual point in the mists”

I don’t know, this post sounds like desperation. Maybe you got really mad at WoW, rage quit and now you want it to die a horrible death. The answer you found was GW2, and now you want it to succeed by pumping positive energy into it so it will crush WoW, because WoW was family that somehow betrayed you, that 7 year friend.

Or maybe you really are enthralled and some how mesmerized by GW2… I only play it because there’s no sub, that’s it.

Even coming from WoW myself, I can see the flaws in GW2- granted it’s a young game. I know you have seen flaws like that as well and I’m sure you’ve compared GW2 to other mmos and have even thought of things that could have been added, shocking things which almost blow your mind because they didn’t think of it, or haven’t added it yet. That’s fine, because this isn’t WoW after all, it can lack where others gain and mend where it pains.

To me, I just see no way anyone could like way points, vistas or points of interest. Do you really need to be baited to look over a certain spot of terrain? Fast travel without effort and getting to point B for instant substance? There should be no limitations in exploration, self-guided discovery is way more enjoyable – take vanilla wow for example, remember all those unfinished and graphically jaggy areas you could jump your way into? Now that was fun and true exploration

The mention of the female fetish characters you have is pretty common and coming from a guy – I often play femtoons like you. Not that I care what they look like, sometimes you really want something different. Yet, you say you like the females because they move a certain way or are works of art. I think it’s like having power over the way you would like a female to look based on media influences of how women should look, baiting males to give you things or perhaps curious flirtation of something that’s missing in ones real life… It works in advertising, the attention one gains being a female is almost lacking whereas one plays a male – the sexuality simply doesn’t sell as well. In any case – beauty is all in the eyes of the frost beholder.

On a side note: I’m kinda sick of MMOs portraying magazine fashion with sexual innuendos and overtones, especially the Asian ones who know Americans will buy it. MMOs are lacking real fantasy elements and have instead incorporated modern day influences of marketing into their content. (with exception to a few mmos)

Can’t say that I’m liking GW2, but hey – it’s free and at least you’re having fun and living your fantasy.

Wait, you want to make a champion easier so you can get the skill point he
s guarding because he’s to hard?

It’s this reasoning in which games are getting to easy. Leave the challenge there, it’s rare to find that in an MMO these days.

1: After all, this is an MMO and we should be able to dress our characters the way we want it to be.

2: Where did somewhat immature and whimsical, but also absolutely essential staples of fantasy fashion go?

3: There is enough applied magic and game-mechanic-elements that are more an offense to logic and immersion than presumably enchanted jockstrap providing the same protection as slightly less enchanted spiky armored greaves with skulls on their kneecaps.

4: One point I agree with is various Asian allegedly-free-games using skimpy armor to an atrocious extent as a marketing gimmick. but I’m not asking for that. I ask for choice in the matter.

I would agree on your first point, you should be able to dress them how you want and you can within what GW2 has provided. It’s also your own personal fantasy to dress them how you THINK they need to be. And as you said many will disagree and agree. Give it time, perhaps more articles of clothing will be added.

On your second point, I’m not sure what you were trying to say. In my mind, fantasy fashion staples were much less revealing and rewarding if you happen to marry a gentleman. In that sense the body was more exciting when it came to classical bedroom time or foreplay. When you wear skimpy clothes I think that part of the surprise vanishes, since you’re referring to open sexuality – skin becomes expected as you’re implying sexy and desired which wasn’t really present then. And in an MMO, why should it? Isn’t that what Second Life is for?

On the third quote – I think it would be safe to say that fashion in itself is an offense to logic in a fantasy based world. Logic dictates that the better armored you’re, the less damage there will be to your flesh or mind. But in a setting within town or a city, the skimpy clothes might indicate one is looking to sell themselves for your good time. Perhaps what you’re looking for is a feature to do so, that going unsaid – sex sells which comes to the fourth quote.

You must be asking for that, for it grants both sales and your desire to dress your character the way you want… Or the way media and magazines have brainwashed you to think how you should dress and sell your character to your own desires.

I think it’s safe to say that fashion has been sold to you, it’s not your own but a baited hook which subtle instinct grabs hold of – catching your sexuality, desire, vanity and nothing more.

But here we’re in a fantasy game.

Leveling is a chore? I play casually and feel like my character levels without any effort. She just shows up and gets exp and free loot. If anything these so called “dynamic Events” are actually “Static Events” which become very routine. If you feel this game is a chore you have got to be joking, the content is almost playing itself. There just isn’t a developer team focused on anything else but PVP, you’re not going to see any changes unless it directly affects killing each other for rewards. The leveling is linear because in the end you’re supposed to be pressing keys and mouse buttons at each other and look pretty doing it with your unidentified dye addictions.
