Guild Wars 2

Personal housing is needed here. It’s something that I keep waiting for. But, Alas…. Ashron’s Call still pulls it for housing.. A good sized cottage will have its own dungeon portal, (nothing like your own dungeon) with three or more chests. Going back to AC now, just for that reason and the game play was and is still indepth… and now AC is free to play, couldn’t be a better time. It was one of the first MMOs and is still one of the best. Don’t mistake it for AC2, you want the original… Ashron’s Call.

Housing was limited in Everquest (instance) and somewhat better in Skyrim, until they nerfed the storage limits, it was non-existent in WoW, at least up until I quit playing. I have never discovered the “instance” racial city home here “in game”, but it sounds like Everquest’s where everyone uses the same door, and each instance gets a couple of items inside for storing… no trophy mounts or weapon wall mounts, etc.

If GW2 can do more with housing, it would be great. I’m not into having legendary(s) or expanding to the mists/fractals. And, cash flow limits my buying the newest outfit or mini, not that I would be interested anyway. I’ll be back from time to time to see and play some.

If they want to study housing AC is the place for both guild halls and personal apartments and cottages, decor items, etc. Not much eye candy there, but you get to use your mind, really use your mind, and you can set up attack macros. At least there I can get every reward or piece of armor in the game without someone else’s assistance…. its a solo’ers game and always was. Enjoy!

How do you tell the developers that their new roll out…9/9 is beyond horribly bad?? World of Warcraft ruined the game play by dumbing down the game, so much so that a six year old could play it…. Also, Ashron’s Call followed the same line of thinking. And, now I am seeing a game that I enjoy playing, once again, going the way of its predecessors….. going, going, idiot proof and gone.

I don’t write or post to the forums, but I did watch as Ashron’s, Everquest, and Warcraft all failed without a word to them. Not looking for a pat on the back, just trying to help those of us who enjoy playing GW2 with our minds.

Players do enjoy a challenge, figuring out where the nearest water bucket is.. it is certainly more enticing than dancing with cows, using the “E” key. To keep players with cash playing, don’t insult us, this is how it feels, insulting. Warcraft placed sparkles on everything and that was insulting and took away from the game play. But, then they took away the quest line freedom for levels 1-20, after destroying all the great terrain previous programmers worked so hard to create, just as you have already destroyed Lions Arch. If herbs start to sparkle in this game, I’m off to Elderscrolls or something else. If you wish to sell to six year olds, please, continue, dumbing down this game; I and many other players will be gone. So, the next improvement, perhaps, should be, challenging game play rather than simplifying.

The trading post is now… totally messed up.
At least, when I used to order something, I knew I was ordering the item. Now, when I attempt to purchase an item…. somehow, I end up ordering something…..this is beyond annoying. A big thanks, for the attempt… just like ferocity… no one can begin to understand it… so its better to just stay away from it all. “Beserker” is now absolutely worthless. We do understand the word “crit”, and critical hit, but not ferocity (15% to critical hit at level 80?… why bother? If you want to help, limit the charging of 1+ gold for a minor sigil, this would be a good place to start. Fix whats broken and leave it alone, unless you are adding REAL new content. PLAY IT!

I hope you all take this to heart, I enjoy the game play, but not for long with many more improvements to dumb-down (simplify) Guild Wars 2.

Very best regards
