Guild Wars 2

Coopziana.1802:

I don’t like the Pub idea, this would create a lot of work for Anet to implement as they would have to set up an NPC for each dynamic event. More than anything if it was to work, you should simply get a common reward chest for each dynamic event you do (like meta events).

I don;t think it will happen anyway as there are way too many dynamic events around and would encourage farming. Also on the note of people waiting for you at the pub wanting to than you… I’d get pretty bored of everyone praising me over 50 times a day for each event i take part in. Dunno about anyone else.

Firstly as of now the gw2 rewards you with the medal (bronze,silver or gold) , silver , karma and exp.

^ You would get that.

AND you would have the personal option to go to the main town of the zone to get the reward (been an random item) or something.and its there waiting for you forever

read this please https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Lions-Arch-B-B-Each-Zone-Main-PUB

as its an updated idea

Like you have the cities in GW2 of each race.

Why not add a main village/pub/etc in each zone. When I say village/pub/etc I don’t mean have a main village and pub I mean have only one in each zone but I name two because i’m just giving examples of what could be picked.

The main town of the Zone could include B&B, Pub or a Village. (example)
Why?:
+) It would increase the social interaction feeling.
+) It would make each zone seem more connected and user friendly.
+) It gives each zone more of a meaning, more of a point to go to that zone.
+) Each main PUB in the zone would have something interesting and something different than each other main PUB in other zones have. (Such as free beer/ then the next main PUB in the other zone could be sleep in/rest yourself resulting in free buffs or the next pub in the next main zone could have the meet up (guild meet ups,where each guild would challenge each other or something.

^ those are just ideas that can expand,change,etc.

What I mean by the pathway is you know the auction house in lions arch. to get there you enter this area with the ground just all mixed textures (no pathway) and then you enter the nice designed building with the wooden floor. outside the building the way to get there is not so nice. its all over the place, its awful.

Hamfast.8719:

I would like to run into a huge pile of ash that stretches as far as the eye can see in all directions.

It is all that remains of that dark, ugly, wooden city of Kaineng after the first person to invent smoking realized they probably should have invented the ash tray first.

sarcastic like in other posts you made m8

Out of curiosity… Would there be a notification of some sort to let you know that an additional reward would be available and that you must speak to so and so to receive it?

Well you know you get the medal with the karma,silver and exp.
You get that and also the reward from the villager.

You would have to walk to the villager yourself and collect it.

Why?:
This adds more of a do to the game, its more rewarding and feels more rewarding.
It would make people do more events and be more active (preety much for no reason)

From an RP perspective, I would really love this. Plus, more rewards is always a good thing as a player. As long as I didn’t have to guess who provided an additional reward and who doesn’t.

Oh well yes of course, it could show up on the map of the location of the NPC.

And the you having to go collect it yourself is done on purpose by the game because that’s what people like too. the event system is very good but also having this along with the event system (or something similar) would greatly increase the satisfaction.

Sirendor.1394:

I’m still a supporter of the idea, though I doubt Anet will ever make such a drastic change. You’ve seen the latest update, it had nearly nothing of importance in it.

Yes, the new patches seem to be very low quality, worse than WoW even. WoW is even now releasing nice new content such as the battle with the alliance and horde

and rift is releasing OUTSTANDING content updates.

but sure if anet won’t be making the changes then there’s an extreme chance of gw2 going dry more quickly.
and sure its not about changing, its about a nice new feature that players will enjoy.

but the new patch did have some really nice new features too (mainly wvw rewards in leader ranks,the new island that players have to defend and then npcs spawn,

those are very nice and add that nice spice and glow to the game.

Any feedback please?. Thanks

Anyone at all please? Please guys some feedback.

Oh and about the picture (the picture shows me in a town. I had mistaken that town for another one with a PUB in it (where the arrow on the image is pointing). And the NPC for example would not have to be in a pub but if a pub/stable/etc is near by then it would make more sense because you’re entering a building.

So if there was no pub,etc nearby it could be an NPC just out in the open or you go to the closet town/village of that zone. it could even be that the reward is given by someone in a town of that zone

Why?:
Because having a capital town/village in each zone would make the game feel more “home”/“social”/etc.

So there are lovely npcs selling stuff such as:
- Whisky
- Cup Cakes
- Fresh Bread
- etc..

Why not add some food and drink animations to them?.
So when you drink the whisky you bought for 6 silver it shows your character drinking. I’m not even saying to show each different type of drink <- would be awesome but even just one animation of a drink and one animation of food.

The name of Guild Wars 2 itself, what does it mean?.

Guild?.

Wars?.

Guilds having wars?.

There are not even guild halls in the game, guild halls really does need to be added.
It will bring the social aspect and so much more adventure to GW2.

Creatures/NPCs:
[+] – Add more color to them. Make them stand out in the world more.
Like make the colour more bright. Its too dark.

Make everything stand out more. Such as the creatures even the hunter pets, make them stand out more .

What I mean by that:
You can see them more easier, they look like they are in the world of GW2.

After finding out there was no award for taking over every single castle/area/town/etc in the game I quit it.

I’m just saying in my opinion that you should get a chest, some gold or some rare items or something…

Something other than xp anyway.

So its like more of a completion.
You know that when you finish everything there is an reward.
Or as it currently is: When you finish everything it all resets and the other team takes back everything making you think what you just did was useless and won’t spend as much time on the game

Soon.5240:

@Knight,
I agree with your sentiments about the fact that our only real 80 lvl map is aesthetically depressing. It would be nice if we had others to farm in. It used to bug me more than it does now, but I get your point.

I don’t follow your comment about “main pathway”. There is a path: following groups to set up camps, etc. as you progress to Arah.

Thank You.

What I mean by the main pathway is:
In the zone is there is a main road (the pathway). And along that pathway there are things happening on the left side and on the right side.

The pathway too goes forever in the zone (to another location/zone).

Like Elwynn Forest in WoW. The pathway that connects to stormwind → goldshire → westfall -etc

heres the video example (updated)

Sirendor.1394:

^Indeed that seems like a most reasonable explanation as well, it wouldn’t be hard to counter the ladder (and maybe the mesmer), but instead would allow for more challenging fights.

If you see a ladder appearing in front of you, and aoe thrown up against the wall to make sure nobody pushes the ladder away, you’ll need to work together with other members of your server to get the ladder down, at the cost of defeat.

Another point I’d like to add is maybe that ladders have to be built within your server’s own towers/keeps, cause if they were to be built anywhere, you could just drop one where you want, with the hope that nobody of the enemy sees you, and slip inside.
Instead, the ladder should be build on your own terrain, and transported to the enemy fortification, being pushed by 2 players. This way, the ladder wouldn’t be quite such an element of surprise, but would be visible from afar (cause it’s of course higher than the players).

Nice mate. that is even better yes.

Cristobal.8640:

Are you actually… whining that the game is too hard?
People nowadays…

Well I think Orr is just all over the place. The zone itself is not nice at all. Its just very dirty and not something pleasant to look at.

Now i’m not talking about because its a stormy/night time zone and that’s why it is bad I am talking about the way it was designed. It does not capture a feel and the zone is just like a piece of ball.

Theres no “main pathway”,etc…

Also, the ladders would add more of feel and completion to the game.
They would be in the game for fun.
Also to note that don’t think they would be really over-powered, they could be like 3 silver from the merchant and very easily destroyed

ExTribble.7108:

Portal unable to portal like that. So what, block portals in keeps? Then mesmers become useless with traditional portal-bombing.

And think about it… Why would anyone waste resources upgrading keep walls/defenses when someone or even a group can ladder in? Right now it’s PvDoor. This will simplify it even more to PvLadders.

Ladders would be something you buy like the Catapult.

- Ladders are limited
- Ladders are easily destroyed because they are only wood. They can be pushed back,etc.
- The defenders put a pot of oil where the ladder is or the pot of oil is already in place by default and you may only put the ladder in a certain position,etc.

Hello,

So have you ever seen an event happening but you decided not to go and help out?.
Would you radar help out of there was an random item awarded to you too.

- After the event is successfully finished you then go to the main towns PUB.
There are the towns people there waiting for you and wanting to thank you and also give you an reward. Like a present, you get the present as an item and then double click to open it and that gives you a random item. And this can be expanded too.

IMAGE EXAMPLE:
http://i1.minus.com/ibgFhQiDlr8TX1.jpg

The image shows an example of when the attackers raid a town in Gendarran Fields.
When you complete that event you are awarded exp,silver & karma.
You get the award but also you can go into the PUB and collect a gift from the villagers.

Big Tower.5423:

Knight, Knight, just to explain somthing, wonder how op this would be together with a portal mesmer, means you can get a 20 group past a wall in 2 seconds right?

Well if ladders were in it, It would be more for the fun.

I don’t see why you worry about people using tricks and stuff, its all about the fun of it anyway. And sure the portal could just be unable to portal like that.

Gnat.9405:

I like the cottage/tavern idea. My biggest gripe with guild wars’ maps, even in the original game, was that they were too open. Sure it adds majesty to the area but dense zones add emotion to the adventuring aspect of map completion. How cool would it be to be traveling through a dense forest and come across a small cottage in the woods with a hole in the floor that leads to a massive underground cavern with encounters below?

Yes a million times yes.
You are so right too about the thing where you go exploring and then you see something else that’s cool and you go that way instead. <—-

Perfect!!!!

As you can see you don’t need these massive areas.
In GW2 everything is so big but yet so small. Such as the human city (its very big but very small too).

And you can see how its all very nicely laid out

And have zones with more of a “main road” → walking path.

Check out these amazing zones in other games:

^ As you can see from the images above that’s what I mean of zones in GW2 needing to have. More of a main road too. A-lot of the zones in GW2 are kinda small yet big and you there’s no really path to follow which is not so good.

Landmarks:
- Abbeys
- Grave Yards
- Churches
- Ring Forts
- Round Tower
- Cottages
- Castles (also surrounded by a moat )
- Pebble stone roads,etc.

Nice villages, pubs (B&Bs) ,etc.
Add villages or B&BS where people can go into and relax and talk.
~ Nice open fields with people there (cutting down trees,etc. ~ horses in stables, people in pubs drinking,etc.

Nice colorful zone (green/bright).

Ladders:

You place them on the castle and people go up them.
There are then oil pots there too and they drop oil down on them for defence.

Check this out (good example) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGWCzlpXbug

hard channgles are great but the orr zone is just so dirty and very low quality.
its all over the place and no real meaning to it. its dark and dirty. but dark zones can be good but once they have that dark feeling to them, orr is just dark.

take darkshire in wow for example. its very nice. and it collects with the other zones with a nice road. I think the zones in WoW are greatly designed, the color too in them. The zones in WoW have more of a feel to it. More of a “culture” even. The colors are rich and bright. You also know where your going in WoW, everything seems to be familiar.
Think of Elwynn Forest (goldshire) and then making your way into Westfall on the road. Its lovely.

Like an example is going to the auction house in Lions Arch. Before you enter the building. The floor is just a mess, its all different textures/dirty and all over the place. What people like is patterns.

Have More of a “path way” with good looking ground textures,etc. pebbles,etc.

Hello,

I have an idea for a pvp or WvW map/area.

We have:
Team red (Defenders of the castle)
Team blue (Attackers of the castle)

Team blue must all get together, get catapults,etc. Then when the wall/door/etc has been open they all run in attacking.

Open World duels would be AWESOME.

Personally I would not find it was this feature I would be using BUT it would add a new social aspect and more fun to the game, making it more enjoyable.

Very good , this is great!!!

Hello,

I have made Lions Arch my main area but prefer other citys, anyway.
It seems everyone goes to lions arch.

Would it not be good if there was a B&B in lions Arch?.
A nice cozy cottage/house type. Where everyone could go in, eat food and drink.
And get new people for dungeons,etc.

And many other things.
A place where people can talk too.

- Please give your feedback on this and add more suggestions.
- Please ArenaNet, please look into this.

Thank You.

Example:
Look at this beach from another MMO:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAssb0tEBWY

Now look at Lost Shores:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8AQ_CC9Ojo

There are some amazing GW2 zones but with the new mmos coming out and all…

More color needs to go into the GW2 Zones.
The island (lost shore) is just a mess in my opinion, that’s just my opinion.

Why?:
Its dirty and all darkish, It has no real theme/color to it.

Hello,

So when your team gets all killed by the other team and your like the only one left by the other side, it would be nice if you would be able to show up a white flag while running away.

+ Guild Halls (This would also give a reason for people to launch GW2 more.)
+ Housing
+ Inspect
+ Duel
+ New features unlock at level 80.

When I reached 400 in cooking I was like ohhh yes. but nothing really changed, it was like as if I was just a 1/400 in cooking.

Guild Wars 2 needs to focus on more of a completion when you finish/accomplish something. (ex: reach level 80, 400 crafting , etc)

JubeiTM.5763:

Hi, it’s a great idea to improve things players can buy with gems or gold. Buying a personal House would be an enormous improvement.
It doesn’t have to physically occupy space on land. It can be an instance where friends can visit in party mode. The house should offer the next possibilities:

Choosing your own furniture - either buy it or craft it. Maybe a huntsman should craft it. Maybe tailors could create rags and leather-workers could make hide carpets out of animal skins. Furniture and Wall paint from dyes, depending on how fancy you want it. Wall paintings should have their own art vendor.

Newspaper delivered home To view upcoming game updates, view events or rumors about dragon assaults and the time of happening. If we can have this content ingame we would wonder less on external content. (Why not, for maybe 1Gold/month)

A bookstore To store and read any in-game book volume already discovered.

Asura energy crystal ball To review vista points already visited. (Could also b a photo album).

Encyclopedias! One for each domain. To read about races, a bestiary, Artworks, history lessons of Tyria’s past. Hell i want more information on Iron Legion battle steam-machines.

A personal Journal and a classic quill for simply writing own notes.

A wall of achievements! That actually contain ingame trophies. Supposed the player killed 100 spiders, there should be a pair spider fangs hanging on the wall and mentioning the achievement on click or mouse over.

A Closet/Drawer for town clothes and armor sets so the player can quicly equip the set he desires. (it won’t eat space from your inventory or bank).

Other Objects Could be anything. Stuffed animals, miniatures, musical instruments (and yes, visit houses in Ebonhawke, there is an Organ you can play with keys from 1-9).

You may say that some of the information above can be accessed on the GW Wiki pages and third party websites. Still, I think it’s better to just have them in-game. Feels more “natural”.

Outstanding mate, love them!

Hello,

After getting to level 80 in GW2 everything seemded to be the same. I become level 80 and did not notice anything else that I could do.

Now looking at the good side that’s great too because if your under level 80 your not limited which is awesome.

Now looking at the bad side, If your level 80 (the top level) of the game, I really think there should be more control/more features/ or stuff more open to you. More power and stuff because then it makes been level 80 not so good in a way.

The suggestion:
When you reach level 80 there are way way more awards available. Like a chest or something, so when you complete a new achievement you get a chest. It is already like this but only a few.

This would encourage the level 80 to go out exploring more. Thinking they are in more control which is great.

And of course I don’t mean just because its underpowered it needs to be super super good but its very weak and it is a big hammer after all, why would such a big hammer be so weak?.

The hammer idea and skills are good but its stale.

I don’t use the hammer anymore but its very VERY under powered, I even bought a exotic for loads of gold and it turned out I don’t use the hammer anymore because its useless. I might as well just pick a stick on the ground and use that instead.

Please ArenaNet,Please if one of you guys see this please look into this quickly .Please. Thank You.

All the new 2014/2015 mmos coming out have some type of player housing or guild halls.
Even Black Desert coming out in 2014 has player housing for the rich and tents for everyone.

And blizzard said they always wanted to put player housing in, the next wow that comes out will sure to have it along with many other new rocking features right?. Don’t get me wrong but in my opinion as of 2013 WoW is outdated.

Please please, this would be an amazing feature. It adds so much to the game. It will attract so much attention. It will make players stay on longer and enjoy the game so much more.

Been in a guild is so much fun and having guild halls would be 500 times more fun and enjoyable.

Yeah, more emotes would be fun.

I think it would be nice to have EU and NA together. Just one server even. And everyone knows to go to that one. It would cut out empty servers,etc.

Why?:
- More people around
- No more empty areas
- More fun
- 24/7 There are people there. So its more of a flow server, radar than 40% people during the day and 1% during the night -> It would switch to 100% people during the day and 60% during the night.
- More active, people learn more, interact more.
- The GW2 game is more open (more features are better because of all the people).

And of course the server opinions would stay as they are too, EU on one side and NA on the other side but then on the top there is just one main server for all regions of the world. And making there been only one it would be even better.

What would be the point of having 500 servers and been only a couple of thousand on them as their home server and only like a couple of hundred go on it but you never even see the people there.

Charge gems too, and everyone (a-lot) would convert.

Now,if you don’t like this idea then say why.
Now of course, if you love this idea which many do please also state why.

Thank You.

- Opinion to turn the auto feature On or OFF in the settings menu.

Here we go,
As you can see the video is edited to be like WvW. Blue & Red. Its quite short.

Content of the whole video may not be GW2 but may give you some ideas about the game….

Okuza.5210:

I’d love this one except for the fact that there aren’t any town skins in the game to speak of. There is the one you’re born with and a couple gem skins. That’s it. So, while it would be a fantastic idea once there are 200+ non-gem town skins to choose from and customize characters, I don’t think the game is ready for this feature right now.

The end result of doing this at present would be to make it look like everyone in game had the same clothes. My male chars wouldn’t mind, but my female chars would rather die than be seen wearing the same dress as all the rest.

So any opinion to turn it On/OFF ?.

Hello,

Update:
+ Auto change into town cloths when in a main city.

Reasons?
Your in a city, been in a city is mainly for:
-) Relaxing
-) Talking/etc
-) Walking around
-) Learning how to become a chef,etc.
-) etc….

- If there was a guild halls I would keep buying items like kittenun box,etc and put them in there with them lol.

wait no mounts in the game, it would rune it.
