Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I think is a good idea this thread to receive new fresh opinions of possible fixes and features by the community to the game.

I would like to share with you all 2 of my multiple ideas that I think a major part of the people would like a lot and sure keep people happy and playing.

1. COSMETIC SLOTS

It would be stunning to have the possibility to have several cosmetic slots, like other games. This slots could be free or gem store purchased. Let´s say for example we have 3 slots. This slots can save different outfits and use the stats of any of the 3 slots. (example you can use berseker´s slot 1 appearance in clerics dungeon´s gear in slot 2).
The outfits only can be changed outside combat. It still requires fine transmutation stones because you need to have the gear phisically before equip it in cosmetic slots, but once you have equipped a slot, you can save your gear in that slot, letting the bags free.
It only saves armor, no jewellry or weapon.

It could be more or less (is only a idea) this:

Look at the top of the hero menu: we have 3 differents slots, and the first one is selected (green point).

Let´s change to the second slot.

Our outfit has changed but our stats remain the same. We have selected the second slot (green point).

I think this will make people collect new outfits, playing to search that piece that they love and more happy to use fine transmutation stones or buy slots with gems. Good for all.

2. HOUSING

It would be great to have a house like other games. In the house we can buy housing items for decoration (furniture by example) from the Auction House, or as a reward for some events (it could be exclusive events furniture for example in halloween), or in gem store.

Also would be fine to have a bank for personal use. An access I mean to our bank.

And the most stunning feature could be to have our alts shown, in predefined places of the house. Only standing, like ar npc and with no interaction, but standing in idle animation.

Let´s see some ideas in this screenshots.

Entrance to the house (You have to choose a main character an the house will be always in his home world. An asura in rata sum, and all your alts will be in rata sum´s house. if you choose an human as your main, then your house will be always in Divinity´s reach, and all your alts too).

And once in the house, you can see your alts. (Actually I have 7 alts but only make photoshop with 1 due to simplify the work ^^)

I think this ideas would like to most of the people. Are not set in stone, only thoughts. Can be improved. But people wouldn´t get tired of the game with feautres that they can customize in some way like this.

Hope you like it!

Arrowcarts firing Inside towers/keeps destroying all defensive siege weapons inside. yeah..clap clap

This exploit/hack has been here since months. Will be legit players see fixed someday? Or must we fall to use this kittenty stuff?. I refuse.

Please fix this once at all!

Riverside, will you stop to do exploits and cheats when you are unable to take something? You have the numbers, you can take it something perfectly free of this kitten. But you prefer to use unfair ways to do the things. I understand why people said cheaterside instead riverside…

Is not 100% your fault, Anet should fix that kitten of the zoomhack.

Operation Baruch Freedom.

A small crack team of FURY were dropped behind enemy lines to enforce the required standard of discipline upon a group of Riverside players using cheap tactics against Baruch Bay.

Thanks for your help Samski!!!! Yes. In fact it was a bad surprise when we tried to spawn and saw an army of germans with balistics, arrow carts…at 2 meters of our respawn. But with your help and with determination we finally get to destroy them completely, and make them escape into their tower (I didn´t noticed your presence so good work!!)

Changing topic, the only thing I disagree in the whole thread, is the false thing that we in BB have 80 people running in the map.

In fact this last week the only brutal zergs I saw were the aurora (TUP, KISS…) and Riverside (All germans in 1cm as usual) ones.

Yesterday around 8-10 golems together with at least 50 or more germans took the central keep of eternal with a brutal force army never seen since WWII… Impossible to stop them. At least I was happy to be defeated that way, I congratulate you riversiders, better than the usual tactict of build 876542745725476254762 trebuchets in your north keep and fire to the walls with no risk.

The zergs in Aurora and Riverside I must admit this week I see them more normal. Something reasonable. But last week were simply stupid to try fight you. Is not funny try to defeat something against 40 or 50 guys while other 40 or 50 are attacking in the other side of the map.

Since our fight against Seafarer´s rest I never seen zergs so big than yours. Also I noticed a strong, well, STRONG, coverage of night time in your BL. And I think is a good strategy from your part, to keep points in your homeland. Clap!

Anyway we still are changing in BB since our strongests guilds left the server to go to T1 ones. It seems this week we are fighting a little more seriously. I hope so at least.

See you in the battlefield!

Impossible to play. Crash at the 60 seconds of start playing. In my case there is no error message. Only the screen freezes and I have to push CRTL+ALT+END to kill the process.

Nice update!!

Kraken.7514:

Seems the night force of Arbor and Deso went on vacation. Tonight until 2 am was fun, with good fights as usual. After it was horribly boring pvdoors.

We love competition and beating our enemy in the battlefield and surely anyone that has fought with or against us knows that. We dont want shortcuts of any kind, our interest lies in fighting and killing our rivals.

Just bored of fighting your endless zerg.
I must say Kaz really step up for BB since last time we fought you. At least you guys have 1 guild who don’t insta wipe.
Still, fighting BB after EU prime time is not fun. Even after 3 week in D1 Vs H24 coverage , i didn’t saw any number like this .

But we get it : just wait few hours then recap everything, and let you go to D3.

I saw greater zergs. Seafarers and Kodash by example. Also as I said, Your day force is absurdly greater than ours. Same as night our force is greater. I have at day the same problem you have at night, so I understand you very well. Is not funny, nothing.

I only want to clarify a few things.

First of all, this week is being very hard for us (BB) because I think Deso and Arbor are still above us in terms of organization, attack, defence,…we are in the correct way, but still we must walk a lot.
Also the skills of some single players of Deso and Arbor is impressive, very nice solo fights (most of time I lose, but learned a lot).
Probably one of the harder weeks we have.
But I read this thread and there are several posts that aren´t true.
1-Yes, our night force is important. But I can say the same about Deso or Arbor day force. Is just the opposite situation. Mornings specially. I can understand how you feel when overmanned that way. Is not fun. You are right. But we also haven´t fun at the morning. I say this because it seems there is no problem in zerg someone at the day but there are at night. Is the same in 2 different moments. Thats why matches are 24h during 7 days.
I´m with you, I don´t like zergs. But while Anet doesn´t change anything, this gameplay will be only zerging, turtle turtle turtle!!, and mesmer portals in your nose… :S nothing more, no skill, nothing. Who have the bigger numbers is the only important. Is sad, you all have right.
2-There is no south american guild in the server. None, Zero. There are some ramdoms south american players, but no guilds. I don´t mind if you believe or not, is your problem. But If someone needs to justify they are wiped at night, read the first point. We play at night more due to our own reasons, and I think a person don´t have to give explanations about when or why he plays.
Anyway, I really would like to have south american guilds in the server. Same as other servers have north american or canadian guilds, and they do a really great job.
I think nowadays to be in Tier1 is a must have, a total 24H coverage in all 4 borderlands. Is easier to say than to do, but when fighting against servers like seafarer´s rest is obvious that a 24h coverage is best.

Anyway, as I said, Deso and Arbor are for me two of the best servers we fighted. Very hard and strong opponents. We are trying to do our best but is not easy. I also noticed a good night presence in their BL, greater than ours in fact in these zones. Continue this way guys and I think T1 would be your natural place.

Good luck and nice fights!

I think you should be able to make your own way. And offer the 2 options. So people that like to group can do everything in company, and people that like solo can do everything for himself.
Anyway there is also people that sometimes like to relax and play an alt solo without hurry and relaxed, but his main is focused to teamplay and so.
With 2 options you can go whatever you want depending of your mood

Yes, new ingredients = new space for collect them.
Agree 100%.

This way maybe I would be interested in play dungeons. I like your idea. +1

WvsW need a “force enemy player model” feature like in old games as quake3 where it worked.
But I agree, also deactivate all effects except yours should help. But beware, if you can´t see enemy effects, maybe you can´t see a wall of reflection, a trap…etc Maybe deactivate for allies.

/Signed +10000000000
I wrote a similar post a month ago. I totally agree. Is a must have in my humble opinion.
The system that for example Lotro has, is cool and fine.

I don´t look on monthly achievements.
If a player doesn´t like for example wvsw, he´s not going to go to play every month for an achievement.
I play just for fun, achievements and dungeons are not fun for me. Probably are fun for a lot others that maybe don´t like wvsw or pvp as me. No prob.
But they are not forced to go to get the better gear, and now I will be forced to go to “their lands” if I want to be competitive in mine. :S

The stats of the rings and so, works also OUTSIDE the dungeon. I don´t mean infusions, I mean STATS. And works everywhere (WvsW, PVE…)

Raire.7983:

FWIW, I totally agree. I hate how dungeon-centric GW2 is. I anticipate the proposed mystic forge recipe will involve a dungeon “gift”, based on ANets recent behavior in this regard.

Trying to force dungeon grind seems to be the only idea they have for “improving” the endgame.

I absolutely agree with this guy.

GW2 was rich because can offer a lot of different ways to obtain same weapon/gear (solo, karma, wvsw, dungeon, crafting). And now it breaks all that to force a player to be a wow raider.

Sure if in Mystic Forge we can obtain the rings they will require some “item” only obtainable in the dungeon itself.

No. I don´t want ascended gear, and specially if only dungeon obtainable.

Narkosys.5173:

I cant wait for this now. I will use this to my advantage in PvP to kick butt and all those who dont have the time will be left behind.
Exit the grind for looks enter the grind for power. About time Anet however my old guildies still arent coming back.

Anet explicitly stated in their manifesto that the only grind would be for looks and not for end game stats. Now they’re breking that promise.

+1

nein nein nein nein

No, absolutely no.

BIG bad Bull.5690:

2. money drain for repairing you armor, so i now run naked through it to avoid the cost.

Loooool, Funny!

Okay bro, enjoy your 2% crit rate chance increase, a bit of extra power and some useless MF if you’re looking to get the one they previewed.

Is not as simple. The pic they show is only an example. Sure it will be with all other sets (berseker, carrion…etc). And is not only 1. 2 rings so you multiply for 2 the slightly increase. Plus backpack. 3. In the future they say it will come new items, so continue multiplying.

Yeah you have a point, maybe 2 points or 4 more in a stat is not important. But tomorrow with 8 or 9 items more, is an important difference. It is supposed that stats are going to work outside the dungeon too. Infusions are only for dungeon so no prob here.

Kenney.2863:

Then obviously you don’t get the gear…simple.

Sure is this.

Then is time to return to games specifically designed for this, to split players….simple

Bhelliom.5324:

If we wanted gear progression i would go back to wow.. as well its already established and does it better.

Also the amount of bug fixes that could have been done instead of adding new stat progression gear…

This and This. And also force people to do dungeons over and over.
+1

I wish you have reason, seriously Jrunyon, I wish to be wrong…

Hi all,
After this news about ascended gear, I´m worry about the fact of now if you want your “new exotics” you only would be able to obtain them making dungeons (aka:raids, inis…).

Not all people likes raids, inis, dungeons, for much people are boring, repetitive, and crazy. I like PVE open world and PVP or WvsW, but not dungeons.

I came to GW2 because I loved the idea that the same person had several ways to obtain the SAME gear: Via karma (Temples: Lyssa, Melandru..), Via crafting, Via WvsW (Badges) and Via dungeons (neverending raids and cicles doing the same over and over).
SO I decided without doubt it was the best decision in the history of MMORPG.

Now my finished character (and my alts!! :S) are forced to do a specially hard and long dungeon to grind for gear that should be also able to obtain in the same other ways??

You can say that the new gear is only for use in dungeons, but NO. That is for the infusions, but if you see the screenshot comparation between the 2 rings, you can see a slightly better stats in the “grinded” one. Take this and multiply by 5 pieces of jewellry, and 6 pieces of armor, and that “slightly” increase in stats can be A LOT more.
https://d2vn94glaxzkz3.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Ascended-EN.png

Then again, is going to be a step between “raiders” and not raiders. No matter how many hours you play, or if you are more interested in pvp, the only thing is raiders will be above the rest.

Also the fact that only 3 months after release, I have to start again to Re-equip my chars? No thanks.
I refused in Lotro (where I come), I never do raids, fellowships, or small fellowships. I liked PVE open world, and ettenmoors, but not be forced to be trapped in a cave, dungeon, place for hours, doing the same over and over, same mechanics, same all (no matter if 1000 ways) grinding for something that should be available to ALL by different ways.

I´m not saying that the new gear should be free or easy, but also get badges in WvsW is not “easy”, get some ingredients in recipes for craft (mystic forge specially) is not “easy”, but I would prefer to have 3 or 4 different ways to obtain this at least.

It´s only my humble opinion, I know that several players will complain about why people don´t like dungeon/raids/inis but is as respectable as those who like play that.

Thanks for the attention.

Yes, I knew there were several threads. My intention was only maybe to mix all then in one “official” petition with all us that think the same.

There are tons and tons of good ideas!! But the basics of each one are basically the same

Thanks for the links, compelting perfectly the info, and thanks for the support thealienamongus

Hello all,

First I want to say that the designs of some costumes in GW2 are simply awesowe. During my leveling up, I had a lot of really nice clothes.

Then I finished at 80, and said: “ok, so what outfit should I use now?”. First of all I got my exotic gear and then I used transmutation stones to mix the appearance I wanted.

Problem?, that there are a lot of costumes I like!!!

What I am proposing?

Simply, I would like to have a few cosmetic slots, in wich you can drag and drop clothes (combat clothes not cosmetic/city only ones, there is a slot for that) and select what of them do you like to wear. Like in another games. This clothes can be used in combat because there are in fact armor and combat clothes.

You probably are thinking: “Ok that´s fine, but then nobody would use transmutation stones!!”. Yes and no.

There are a way to require transmutation stones. Simply when you are trying to drop something on the cosmetic slots, and advice tells you something like: “Only transmutated items can be used here”. This way we could have the cosmetic slots, but the transmutation stones created by Anet still would be neccesary.
In fact I think transmutation stones would be sold a lot better with this feature, because a lot of people would like to have his/her cosmetic slots full!!

Also, as an alternate way, maybe in the Black Lion Market, you can purchase too a few cosmetic slots more.

People would buy transmutation stones and cosmetic slots, and always the clothes are battle clothes, not cosmetic ones (like halloween). You would have your for example exotic gear with their stats, the cosmetic slots don´t overwrite the stats, they are only that, cosmetic slots.

Ok, ok, so many of you agree but maybe are thinking in sPVP or WvsW. Yeah. Obviously this feature should be unavailable in sPVP. 100% agree.

And respecting WvsW, well maybe yes or no. Really is not as important. Why?, because anyway people use transmutated gear so you really are not seeing what are others wearing. And anyway a possible solution to “culling” effect in WvsW is to have an option to “Force player enemy model”, so you won´t be able to see his/her real gear.
Anyway if is unavailable in WvsW too, there is no problem. At least can be used at PVE.

Well this are my thoughts, many of you will agree, many of you not. I really would like all of people who agree, that sign the petition.

Of course can be done in different ways, but basically is an idea, not developed, printed in pen and paper. Can be done in different ways.

But the essence of the idea is the question I would like to know if people like.

Thanks for the reading, and don´t forget to sign if you agree!!

See ya

I can´t log on for this problem too. I would like to see some dev to know if tehy have notice of this issue and if they are working on it.

Hello all,

I would like to know if ANET has some plans to avoid the situations in wich a single server has to fight against 2 servers of same nationality.

I say this because this week in my server we have seen how the other 2 servers don´t attack each other and only attack our server (that anyway is first at this moment). But I think this is not very just.

I understand that when a server is winning by a clear difference, normally the other 2 servers target it at primary. But since the beggining of the match this 2 servers of same nationality were clearly together.

I think it has no sense, when the matches are in the eye, the “ramdomize” should have an option to avoid this situation. And always grant 3 different servers.

Is Anet targeting this, or is ok as it is?

Thanks.
