I would just like to preface with a big thank you to everyone behind the scenes, no MMO has kept my interest as long as GW2 and it doesn’t appear to be going away either.
As a big fan I would just like to throw in my two cents regarding some things I think could further the game. Unfortunately the forum search function doesn’t work properly, so I do apologize if a subject has been done before, but here it goes:
~ The biggest thing I would personally like to see is the ability to build and customize a house anywhere in the open world, somewhere to go and store your special items and show off your achievements. Now it wouldn’t be reasonable to have random houses splattered everywhere for everyone else to see, so to get around this a player could create an instance location where they would like their house to be. So, much like a personal story quest when you run up to the POI it’ll ask you if you (and your party?) would like to go into your house.
I did play the original FF online and I have to say it was the big feature of that game for me, I enjoyed building furniture, or buying it, and showing off items and trophies with it. It is a great way to put stuff away that we will never use again, but perhaps would like to keep (just to say hey I was there). Furnishings would also be a great way to encourage crafting and using some of the materials that do not get harvested for much or used often.
~ More back options is another idea, there seems to be a lot of bird motif in the game, it would be neat to see wing back pieces as well, not necessarily huge ones that take up a lot of space, but say ones that go down the back. Perhaps even a backpack that shows off a model of each of your harvesting tools that disappear if you use them up would also be functional.
~ Dynamic equipment switching when not in battle is something I’ve read in other forums before and wouldn’t mind seeing either. While I mostly PVE and never PVP except for the odd venturing into WvW , I do think it would be quite advantageous to be able to switch from a condition build to a tanky or crit build as the area calls for it.
~ Minis:
a) Keep them up when fast traveling, it’s a bit of a constant frustration calling them out every map change. Perhaps put a slot on your character info for a mini to be spawned with you all the time, and a check box, like headgear, to put them away when not wanted.
b) Keep them relevant, being able to treat them as an ascended item and putting an infusion would be nice.
~ Dungeon token exchange would greatly be appreciated, I have half a dozen bank slots being used up for misc remaining dungeon tokens, so finding a way to use them would greatly be appreciated. Perhaps even throwing them into MF to change them into something else could be done.
Thank you again guys for all your great work, especially the recent Molten pickaxe, I’m no longer avoiding harvesting because I do not want to waste my ori pick axe on lower tier items. I really hope to see more for the other two tools in the future, the amazing animation is a bonus.
