Guild Wars 2

Drudenfusz.2971:

Maybe instead of having a LFG tool ArenaNet could implement a waiting room for each dungeon which could be server neutral, so that people who would like to do the dungeon go in and see who is waiting there and still have to talk with the other players to group up.

This is a really splendid idea, I think.. Not so much a LFG queue but instead just a place to hang out and wait for others to come in. It still takes away from time that could be spent enjoying the game in other ways, but at least they wouldn’t have to be yelling in /map for a long time, maybe to never get a group at all.

I really have nothing against LFG, though if they add one, I agree that it should be like SWTOR’s and for each server, that way if someone did happen to be a jerk.. They could be ‘dealt with’ on the server, so to speak. There will be bad groups regardless of whether there’s a LFG or not, just as there was with Wow, for example. It’s a smarter idea, IMHO, to add the function so that people waste less time.

Otters and ferrets would be great! And minis of them, too.

Agreed, either a COD option or maybe a trade feature that doesn’t just feature the in-game mail system. This would help with the server scamming.

Agree with OP – account bound dyes pretty please.

Agreed – if not interactive chairs, then at least something like a /sitchair ability so that we can actually look like we’re sitting in a chair properly if there is one nearby. There are a lot of little RP ‘toys’ though all in the world, just look around at things laying on the ground and check all merchants. Yesterday I found one that sells sylvari seedlings that sprout into trees!

I agree with the previous posters in that the UI needs a little work, but also I would like to see bigger fonts as well for the chat box, as even the biggest is..well..not very big at all. Also, the ability to change font colors would be extremely useful. As a roleplayer especially, it’s difficult to see emotes because of the grey coloring…and tiny font.

I agree with OP – would love to see mounts if only strictly for fun and vanity’s reason. Just a silly old horse would be great. Doesn’t even have to move faster!

THIS, 100%. Would love to have the shapeshift available for fun and roleplay. Make it a town clothes sorta deal!

Hello,

I just wanted to add my .02 on what I feel personally should be changed/added/whatever.

Things I feel that REALLY need to be changed:

- Another way other than in-game mail to trade with people. (Mail is good, but you can be scammed..I know some people say to use the TP then, but that’s not always an option as sometimes it’s down, or maybe you just simply want to use people from your server.)
- Armor inspect feature, for obvious reasons.
- Bank space that isn’t shared.. Somehow I don’t see this happening, but a girl can hope, right?
- The ability to view armor/weapons that is able to be purchased from the trading post.
- Barbershop type feature eventually would be really nice!
- An even larger text font for the chat box. (The large size isn’t really all that large, and I speak for myself and some others that agree it needs to be bigger!)
- More UI customization, however, not addons or anything like that. Just the ability to change font colors, for example, or move abilities around instead of having to keybind them a certain way, etc.

Things I would like to see change one day, but don’t feel are crucial to gameplay:

- More body types for human females (especially) as most of them look as though they haven’t eaten in years. Also, I wouldn’t mind seeing the larger Norn female body type that is shown throughout the game NPCs, yet player characters don’t have access to. The thing is, males can be huge, but females can’t? Come on A-net, do away with the double standard!
- Custom channels for the players.
- Strictly for fun or vanity’s sake, the ability for Norn to remain in shapeshift form, or for elementalists to keep their pets out permanently, etc. Again, just for fun, not for actual gameplay purposes.
- Mounts, again for vanity’s sake or fun, not necessarily for speed increase. Even just a generic horse would be lovely!

Otherwise, I’m very pleased with GW2! Fantastic game so far, finding it hard to play one character due to liking so many professions.

I also feel that maybe some of the story quests need a bit of re-tweaking.. I just did one on my mesmer in which it took me nearly 45 minutes due to many downed states and deaths. In the first couple ‘phases’, I counted close to 15 mobs on screen, most of which would attack me instead of the npcs. It took me some time to get them down because my abilities were barely hitting for anything and my clones dying near immediately. I even tried switching weapon sets twice and nothing really seemed to help. My gear is pretty good also, but being a cloth wearer, I was going down in about 2-3 hits, even with dodging and such. The ranged was killing me, on top of the multiple melee mobs. Eventually the next part summons 4 elementals and a grawl, and each elemental took forever to kill, as did the grawl. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or what, but it does seem a bit much. I don’t claim to be the best player or the worst, still getting used to the game, but.. I had another situation similar on my ranger where I had to die about 10 times to get the quest done.

IMHO, that’s not really challenge, it’s just silly. Forcing you to die to complete a story quest isn’t good design, it’s a waste of time. I’m sure people will argue that and say ‘L2P’, but whatever.

Tl;DR – I agree that some story quests may need to be tweaked just a tad, as I had issues as well with several professions.

I don’t necessarily feel that addons are necessary, but I do feel some improvements to the UI definitely need to be made. My fiance for example has eyesight issues and is unable to really pay attention to the boons/conditions as well as focus on everything else on screen, including dodging any incoming abilities or such. I’m not really asking for things to be made super easy, but more ‘warnings’ of what will happen could be nice. Ultimately, you still have to be paying attention and such, even if the game does ‘help’ you a tad in that respect. Besides him though, I also have issues seeing such things and have no trouble with my eyes. Also, I can speak for some others as well having the same issues.

Tl,dr. As far as extensive addons, don’t think they’re really necessary in this game it seems. UI needs some adjustments though, resizing, keybindings, etc.

Same issue here 100%, put in a support ticket about it and hoping they’ll eventually get around to replying or fix the issue. Tried paypal also, same deal..all fails.

Also lost some silver, about 21s actually purchasing a total of 3 unidentified dyes.. Received some sort of internet connection error and screenshotted it the final time, no issues with internet even after receiving the error. Game was working fine otherwise. Lost the silver, no dyes nor was it even listed on my bought tab. Put in a support ticket for it.

Same issue here, most names are resetting when swapping out pets!
