or holding right click and rotating?
they sorta added a mount. no speed boost or anything but ur def riding it.
2 Suggestions
1. Dungeon Levels
To get to the next level of a dungeon you should have to actually get to the next level via jumping puzzle instead of a portal or something easy.
2. Legendary
Legendary Weapons should give its own skills bars tied to the weapons themselves and F Keys acting as different races skills for the legendary weapons usable by you for having it Example: F1 5 Asuran Skills F2 5 Charr Skills F3 etc… Also maybe lets say if your a Asuran and your under the Asuran race Fkey you get a little extra bonus for it.

yeah i miss gw1 i would be on it in a heartbeat if others still played it.
Make another armor set for Magic find and use it for farming it’s pretty dam good once you have it around 100%. You can also buy Omnomberry Bars and the cash shop item.
Magic Find in this game is broken, i have a friend with so much magic find its sickening and i dont have any and i get better drops then him. the only thing he gets more of then me is ecto.
I feel you, its like walking around the streets of NY picking up pennies. just 100 pickups and u have a dollar. but nothing in NY costs a dollar. GG :P mentality.
I remember when killing a few bosses also. one big char was running in a circle around us and we were just blasting the boss. the boss didnt break off him not once. and it was a melee boss so he never did damage and we just torched him down
The only thing in this game that takes time is Legendary Weapons. Level 80 in 3 days World Completion in a Week, and i have a guild member halfway to getting a Legendary already. Im not sure whats supposed to take up our time here. People are blowing through this game like it was a fat kid eating a ice cream sunday. End game content is near non existent. And if i hear one more person saying WvW is the end game i will blow a fuse
Congrats on the Bug Fixes which are Mandatory! YAY :P im sure someone will see my humor

Why are we comparing in terms of balance, items and skins to a game that was established from 2006 to 2012 with 3 campaigns, an expansion, and countless patches and updates to a game that is released a month ago?
fail -_-
===
just for the record. due to secondary professions in guild wars 1. it gave u another bracket of skills to add to ur bar. so you could browse from 80 skills on what u wanted to use. and it only increased with time cause they learned people wanted more options and versatility. This was already learned. why are we re learning it….

This game is NOT GUILDWARS 1 nor was it meant to be!
Are things Wrong with this game hell ya! But the only thing it has in common with guildwars 1 is lore.

Pretty sure that no one, in any media release, ever claimed that GW2 was going to be like GW1. In fact, I believe the message was that it would entirely different. I can imagine the OPs surprise when that actually turned out to be the case.

I’m pretty sure someone mentioned it. shall i post the quote again?

Mike O’Brien: “We founded ArenaNet to innovate, so Guild Wars 2 is our opportunity to question everything, to make a game that defies existing conventions. If you love MMOs, you’ll want to check out Guild Wars 2, and if you hate MMOs, you’ll really want to check out Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars 2 takes everything you love about Guild Wars 1 and puts it into a persistent world that’s got more active combat, a fully-branching, personalized storyline, a new event system to get people playing together, and still no monthly fees.”
Because this isn’t the first rodeo. This was supposed to be a Fully Submerged MMO.

They can edit a post in 20 seconds. but 2 weeks to fix a bugged skill point.
i was trying to explain aspects i missed from guild wars 1 and things im unhappy about in guild wars 2. FanBoys here are taking it out of context and flaming.
Guild Wars 2 is not Guild Wars 1
and boy am I glad.
the admins edited the name of my topic. that was not the intention of this thread.
Just for you because you asked that this game be more like GW1, we will let you have:
1. The return of the death penalty. It still caps out at 60% for you. You can run to any of the major cities to have it removed.
2. You only get 8 skills on your bar now.
3. No in game mail for you. No Trading Post either. It wasn’t in GW1, so you can’t have them in GW2.
4. Also no rings, necklaces or trinkets of any kind. You can make everyone jealous though by wearing a cape. It has no stats. It’s just for looks.
5. Oh and your level cap will be stuck at level 20. Sadly it means you won’t get to unlock your elite at level 30 but since you only have 8 slots this shouldn’t be a problem for you.
6. You can no longer jump or swim. Again, not in GW1.
There’s probably other things I’ve forgotten. But I think by now you get my point.
The trick to make a second version of a named game is to mix new aspects with old.
and in guild wars 1 it wasnt about the level. it was about how you sorted your gear and weapon mods and attributes. here i can throw max armor on and get level 80 and go anywhere i want in the game. and oh yeah if u die in a dungeon u can just map back to a waypoint. sooooo challenging.
1: This isn’t GW1.
2: To address all your concerns- Game is still brand new. Give it time.
3: Not very constructive. Just a lot of complaining with very little solution.
So let me give u an example. let me make a movie called superman 1 and put superman in it. then make superman 2 then not put superman in it.. does this make it ok?
6. Why do i not feel special in Guild Wars 2… I look like everyone else. I use the same skills as everyone else. My weapons look like everyone else. For someone who played Guild Wars 1. This is a major slap in the face. For starters you give heavy armor some of the best looking skins and dont even think about the light armor people. In Guild Wars 1. it wasnt about the stats of something. You had 100’s of staves with the exact same stats, But it was about the look. Look in these games is everything.
7. Transmutation. This is a great concept to get what you want to look like but with stipulations. Why cant i transmutate my Light armor with a heavy armor piece. cause honestly ive only found 2 Helms that are even worthy of wearing as a light armor player. Like i said above looks are everything in this game and we only get random basic sets of armors based upon level, Then if we like something lesser we have to transmutate it. Why bother even putting stats on items. You should just make level 80 basic gear. Then release skins to skin the armor. sorta like the guild armor or HoM items.
8. Soul Bound. IMO no weapon or armor should be soul bound. You worked hard for that item you should be able to wear it a while, then sell it when u got your new digs. Why would you want to lock something on a toon to make it worthless. So for example im level 70. i gear up and get everything sorted. Now im level 80 and have no use for that gear. I paid lets say 1 gold for all my level 70 stuff. Now i don’t need it i have to merch it for 5 silver. Instead of giving it to my friend or selling it to him for a discounted price. If you don’t want us to help others then remove the mail system also.
9. Mail. You guys could end all gold sellers instantly. Disable the mail system. I know this will cause a 50/50 response from the general community. But if you guys have gone so in depth to make Soul Bound and Account Bound, Then why have mail. I get at least 2 Mails a day advertising Gold for $$. If you disable mail Gold Sellers would have no way to get the product to you. There for being the first MMO without the ability of Gold Sellers to cause interference. that would be astronomical for gaming. Also i know people will be like but i want to send my friend this item i got. Cause honestly the only items you really help your friends with is a few coin and some lower level gear while they are leveling. cause expensive gear doesn’t trade often for free. And if they really want the gear. List it for a price on the TP and your friend can buy it there.
10. Mini Games. Jumping puzzles to me are not mini games. they are mini frustrations. With joke gifts at the end. Where is my Dragon Arena? Where is my Beetle Racing, Areas that gives everyone set skill bars to go at each other with no other benefit but skill level.
11. Interface Alterations, In Guild Wars 1 you could move everything on the screen to the desired position, But guild wars 2 only lets you move 2 things, Map and Chat…
12. Blind Updates or Stealth Updates.
We as players have the right to know what exactly is being changed. We are paying customers and have privileges for doing so. In Guild Wars 1 they told you everything that was changed even down the exactly cool down time or energy usage increase.
Sorry to ramble on but i have alot more topics and issues i could voice but i must get to work. These are all things based on my personal opinion.
Alright let me start by saying, Im not very happy about certain things in this game. But i dont want to ramble on for hours with a 10,000 word post. So Ill try my best not to :p
1. Unique Items: Guild Wars 1 Had so many unique things to covet as a player and show off and feel a little better then the next guys. For example Promotional Items like Kanaxi or Island Guardian Miniatures. A player that could get these items felt so empowered and a sense of joy because they knew they were one of the few to obtain such items.
2. Rare Weapons: In Guild Wars 1, There were 2 kinds of rare weapons. Weapons with really cool skins EXAMPLE: Bone Dragon Staff (from Shards of Orr). The other weapons being Low Requirement Weapons. EXAMPLE: Q8 Swords, Q8 Staves
2.5 These Weapons above were very hard to obtain i personally did 1,000’s o f runs and never got a Bone Dragon Staff. I had to actually buy one from a seller. Q8 Weapons gave a good benefit. Meaning u didnt need to put so many attribute points into that area to achieve the max damage out of the weapon at hand. These weapons such as Q7 and Q8 and some Q6 required weapons were no longer available after later expansions and patch’s. Thus giving those weapons a very good shine and gave players a great feeling for holding a item that no one else could get.
2.6 I know some people will mention Legendary weapons. But these are only one tiny little rare aspect.
This is what i feel is a portion of whats lacking in Guild Wars 2. I want to see items that no one else can get. A item that drops from a event that will only drop at that event that time. Never again. And with a great looking skin to boot. So you can run around with someone no one has seen before.
3. Dynamic Events? How is a event dynamic if you have to wait 10 minutes for it to start again. A event starts someone posts in map chat come quick events up. next thing u know 200 people hitting the same thing u are. They cant map directly to the battle but they can make 100 feet next to it. and within 30 seconds they are in the battle. This mechanic needs looked at alot.
4. Skills, or lack there of. In Guild Wars 1, the skill combos were endless with every class having so many skills that the next guy wouldn’t even be using. Also due to allowing Second Class Profession changes, This opened a word of skills giving one playing the ability to pick from over 100+ different skills to get the job done.
4.5 Im very disappointed to see my Toons with under 40 skills, So no matter what i can sit next to another necro for example and he has 50% of my same skills bar due to the lack of variations of skills.
4.6 Skill Recharge… Like omg really? i have skills with 240 second recharge…. like for example i have a skill on my necro that dazes the foe for 2 second and has a 45 second recharge? How is this even usefull. I have found many skills to be unused to to recharge times so basically im only picking between 20 skills because of this. This is terrible IMO
5. Speed Clear’s Guild Wars 1 was riddled with speed clears. But ANet hated the Speed Clears.. For what reason i dont know. The frown upon people using 100’s of hours to create tactics and formulas for completing areas in record time. These things were not achieved over night.
5.5 Guild Wars 1 did everything in there power to try to stop speed clearing, releasing nerf after nerf to stop this and they couldn’t. So im guild wars 2. Instead of giving the ability to Speed Clear. they tried to abolikitten at all costs. Players happiness, Players Time. Longer does not mean better Guild Wars 2….. Why do we have to spend 3 hours in a dungeon for you guys to be happy? We have lives, family, jobs. And you want me to spend 30 minutes to form a team. 3 Hours to do a dungeon, for what? what do you get from this? Matter of fact you make people take breaks and stop playing for periods of time. People dont want to sit down and do one task for forever. We are advancing creatures and like to do new things often. Im not saying make dungeon 20-30 minutes but, Dont start doing like u did in guild wars 1. Throwing new foes around every corner to make it harder. Work on the reward system instead of the length u want us in there.
