Its hard for me to actually see my party/personal called target (ctrl+mouse1) when it comes to red/green’ish situations, which is most of the time during fights on green grass.
Back in the early days when Mr. Freeman was working at Black Mesa company, he could even change the size/icon and color of his target – I’m really missing this option so hard that its actually not even more a wish, but a bug.
Ever felt running around and getting blamed that you are to dumb to see the actual target? well thanks. It doesnt need to be sophisticated, but please make it work.
Any chance a Single-Sign-On login in the form of CAS is possible for guildwars2 players?
TL;DR
1 – players auth with arenanet
2 – … some ticket validations …
3 – anet redirects to web/service with information about player (guilds? ranks? points/…)
4 – 3rd party service is able to use that information to authorize players for e.g. a guild-hosting provider or the like
I’d like to thank “everyone” for the rewards we got during this season.
Wait what? Rewards?!
Yes – we had plenty of fun, hate, excited moments of loss and victory. Since we can’t get burried with these virtual golden/silver/bronze stompers, the only thing we take with us are the different feelings we shared amongst moments in our very own communities in order to get distracted from real world problems.
Without enemy, there is no victory or loss. Withou you, the enemy has no victory. We are all the same, its just that we switch places often.
Add a miniature drop-down selectbox (just like the ones for skills) somewhere at the screen. Clicking on it opens a small panel (just like the ones for skills) showing all your miniatures, selecting one drops the miniature into the world – selecting the empty slot disables your miniature.
At first this idea sound silly to me, until a mate mentioned that he loves miniatures and that he would buy more of them when such a function would exist, as it would not bloat up his inventory-space with miniatures. So this small idea might sound silly for us, but might be a money-giver for ArenaNet.
@Devon: Maybe we should split the ideas and concepts up into few sections:
* Short-term realiseable stuff (in order to reduce urgent “pain”)
* Long-term ideas which may seem realistic
* Long-term wish-list (you know, the big default pile)
As an example for short-term ideas:
* Commander simply gets a buff which shows the amount of supps: a) around him b) in his squad on a 5 or 10 second tick timer – reduces the uncertainity of supply amount
* The simple coloring of commander icons (fixed preset of colors), I’m sure communities will find a way to arrange them at first with the few colors and what meaning they have in different contexts.
Agreed. We have a plan for doing something like this that we’ll have more info on later. Right now we have to get it tested and do all the other things before we can be sure it is what we’d want.
Thanks for your reply – I’d like to know more about these plans – I do understand that the current Commander Icon implementation does actually has mutliple roles: PvE, WvW, GvG, aso … so in order to get all the requirements for all these roles collected, understood and agreed on by Devs AND Community, I suggest you introduce some kind of “idea” discussion which Anet drops on some debate-board and the community can discuss and evaluate it, so you guys may getter feedback and get it done right for all, devs, gamers and your product management
Here’s my suggestion:
Make the commander able to change the color and description (when hovering over the tag) of his Commander Icon (in WvW zones only)
My suggested tweak would be to separate buying/activating Guild Upgrades into PvE and WvW so that these rights can be given separately to WvW players or PvE players in guilds. I came along this idea when I heard about guilds not wanting to give some guy in the gold the ability to buy/activate Missions or pve stuff BUT wanted to give him rights to managed stuff in the WvW corner for the guild.
Imho: Separating this stuff leads to better buffed/upgraded/claimed keeps than claimed and unbuffed. What do you think?
I actually found this topic while searching what people would complain about the server transfer fee of 1800 gems for a very-high populated server.
Rethinking about what u just said, it makes sense – we often forgot that we dont have any monthly subscription fees and that the price we should pay is acceptable. This thoughts probably fall under the free-to-play plan for this game.
Are there any plans on listing or creating an overview of all active Commanders on a map? Like entering the Borderland and having an option to choose what commander to follow and see how many ppl have joined his squad and a small comment field which can be set by the Commander to describe their operation?
Are there any plans on regulating accounts which spy out Team and Map chats of the enemy servers?
What about making the Commander book buyable only by Guild influence points after upgrading to the last W^3 guild tier? So that the commander icon can be shared across a specific guild-rank but only be active one at the time
Another hint from me for Anet:
- Dont put pressure on players to buy stuff by creating situations where players feel tricked, just let it go, loosen it a bit and you’ll see, the money comes from all alone.
edit: ps. Ya I know, the Managers again. They want to see money/facts/numbers – but dont let yourself buy for that game. How do I know? Well life will always deny u stuff which u want most. The reward comes when u let go.
I think it’s unfair towards to people to think they are not suited for this kind of information. One could still group the stats up to some degree like which driver versions do get the best stats aso.
Some of Anet technicians talk about how they do monitor performance for different hardware/drivers by having Clients which do run automated-test circuits throught the maps and measure/report statistical information to Anet backends.
Now for the request: Can you please make those statistics public available? Like a Hardware/Driver/OS matrix which shows what combinations provide the best performance? and please include Graphic cards models, CPU types aso…
