I had shut down the game when I posted this, so it would appear I remembered wrong. Thank you for noticing

Please, like PLEASE, I’m pretty sure a lot of players will want this, allow us to dye the Geomancer’s Glider! Even if it’ll be one dye channel, to change the flame colour. I hope more people will support the idea and our voices will be heard

Love the list… especially the blade shards.
If it were possible, I’d love to add to the list gifts and mystic forge stones.
~EW
Usually items used in the mystic forge are ones you don’t casually acquire in large quantities. Mystic Forge Stones and Gifts are not used for crafting (i.e. at a crafting station), thus although somewhat convenient, I doubt putting them in the materials storage will be much productive or useful.
Greetings,
I would like to request (and I’m pretty sure a lot of players agree with most of the suggestions below) that certain materials be added to the materials storage. It’s been a long time and we still hoard them in our account banks or character inventories, taking up unnecessary space. And almost all of them mentioned below are used in crafting recipes. Even the mystic clovers, which are not used in any crafting recipe at all, earned their personal slot in the materials storage! I’d like to encourage players who see this thread and agree with the suggestions, don’t hesitate to post your opinion.
The materials are:
- Milling Basin
- Copper Doubloon
- Silver Doubloon
- Gold Doubloon
- Platinum Doubloon
- Bottle of Elonian Wine
- Amalgamated Gemstone
- Shimmering Crystal
- Tenebrous Crystal
- Blade Shard
- Agony Infusions (all +’s if possible, else at least the +1’s)
Lastly, perhaps you could consider converting certain “keys” used to open map chests into currencies in the wallet (I’d assume it’s more complicated to create a new “key storage” window, hence why I suggest wallet currencies), to avoid having to transfer all of them across characters, should a player decides to play a different profession. For ease of use, they could appear as currency at the bottom of the inventory window, depending on which map the character is located in, similarly to how Airship Parts appear in the inventory when we are in Verdant Brink:
- Zephyrite Lockpick
- Bandit Skeleton Key
- Key of Greater Nightmares
- Pact Crowbar
- Exalted Key (why does this still come with a blue name? all other keys have a yellow name :P)
- Vial of Chak Acid
- Machete
If you like the ideas please post below and share your opinions!

Greetings everyone,
These are a couple of suggestions I have been discussing with friends and guildies the last days, hopefully many people will agree and we’ll get them implemented. Feel free to provide constructive criticism and feedback.
- Falling damage reduction trait should not be a trait at all; with the new masteries system we’re getting in HoT, falling damage reduction could gladly be added as a mastery with multiple tiers and bonuses for each (because honestly, I don’t think there are many players around who actually have equipped at all times, and try to utilize falling damage reduction traits while in combat; let aside traits are all about combat anyway, and the existence of a falling damage trait defeats the purpose, plus it’s slightly frustrating to remove an entire specialization line, equip another, just for that trait, when occasion requires it, i.e. doing a jumping puzzle). After all, we can have a separate mastery in PvE and WvW as well. This will allow the developers to add content that requires said mastery to be unlocked and a certain amount of tiers invested into. For example, a new PvE jumping puzzle which you cannot use the glider for, but you will also die at that particular spot where you have to fall down from a given height without any water pool to save you at the bottom. Its tiers could give various bonuses which could also help with the “Adventures” system.
Examples (obviously the mastery does not have to be as presented below; these tier descriptions are merely suggestions:
Tier 1 = -25% falling damage
Tier 2 = Gain stealth for X seconds when you receive falling damage (XX seconds cooldown).
Tier 3 = -25% falling damage
Tier 4 = You do not enter combat mode when you receive falling damage (provided you were not previously in combat mode with a monster).
Tier 5 = -25% falling damage; upon receiving falling damage gain invulnerability and super speed for X seconds (cooldown XX seconds). Note: This last tier could be utilized for the completion of certain time-based challenges. Also, the passive falling damage reduction on Superior Rune of Snowfall could be reduced to -20% to avoid exploitations of 100% total reduction).
- Unlimited Gathering Tools from the Gem Store: We have had a really nice variety of different gathering tools released so far, some of them having awesome animations that make material gathering runs more pleasant. However, since the release of the Watchwork Mining Pick (which is the only tool having that ~20% chance to give you a watchwork sprocket each time you strike any type of ore node), it really feels not worthwhile to purchase any different mining pick. The overall suggestions about this are:
—> Convert all the gathering tools into “Gathering animation account unlocks” (pretty much like Finishers, Minis, Mail Carriers, etc.), allowing each character to equip any tool animation from anywhere.
—> Might as well remove the inability to equip a new/different tool while in combat, since it doesn’t affect the outcome of the fight in any way.
—> Reduce the price of the animation unlocks permanently (below explaining why).
—> Add special bonuses unlocks as a different feature, each with its own gem price. Example: A character equips the Molten Alliance Mining Pick, Jack-in-a-Box Sickle, Frost Wasps Logging Axe, then has the ability to select ONE special bonus that is unlocked for that account, like a chance to get watchwork sprockets, or a chance to get pristine toxic spores, or a chance to get pieces of zhaitaffy, or candy corn, or … you name it. Materials that are relatively hard to acquire or unavailable. This special effect could trigger on any gathering attempt, be it a plant, tree or ore node, with the chance percentage adjusted accordingly to maintain balance.
- Add layers priority adjustment to the appearances of our characters. In other words, let players choose which armor piece they want to be visible above some other, to avoid the nasty clipping that unfortunately occurs with a lot of beautiful skins.
That is all (for now). Thank you for reading!

Basically there are various reasons a lot of players have been greatly disappointed by this event. Having discuss this with my guild and friends, here are some conclusions and feedback that were gathered up:
- The event was set to last for a very very short time frame; it is possibly the quickest event of this type we had in Guild Wars 2 thus far.
- Given the frequency of the events cycle and the rewards available, one would have to endlessly grind these events non-stop day and night, and still would not be able to acquire all available rewards.
- The invasion events were announced as a way to introduce new players to co-op map-wide world events, help said new players find a guild to join, and guilds to recruit more members likewise. Unfortunately, the way this ended up to be, tagging 1-2 mobs and teleporting away just to get credit for the event completion and increase your stacks buff… I do not think it’s a very productive way of introducing map-wide world event content to new players.
- Still focusing on what a new player should earn from these events: mobs did not grant experience, nor loot. Event completion did not grant karma, experience, coins. Really, really repelling for players who still try to learn the game; I was disappointed to see Lv 16-19 players laying dead and asking for help, while everyone (including myself sometimes, I shamelessly admit) were ignoring them because… stacks must be earned.
- No one is perfect, that includes machines and game servers. We all have experienced that random kick from the server (sometimes even without experiencing any minor or major lag spike at all). It was extremely disappointing to see friends and guildies losing 20+ stacks because of client crashes, their internet connection loss, or the worst… unfairly kicked for no obvious reason from the game. This system is highly punishing and totally negates time spent on events which are supposed to be, and are, fun, but instead are converted to frustration and anger (i..e. “Oh #(!*#(!@! I lost my stacks and only 1-2 minutes remaining until the time is up, great…”)
- Map-wide events are fun and entertaining, until they are spread across the whole map AND require your personal contribution in most (if not all) of them. Tagging 1-2 mobs, running out of combat, teleporting, loading…loading…loading…, running to next ev… oh it’s already completed :/, teleporting elsewhere, running to the next event, tagging 1-2 mobs, and so on. You probably realize something is not working well
How such events should be:
- Each individual event should give minor rewards upon completion (see Silverwastes, Dry Top, etc.). This greatly decreases any amount of frustration caused by random client crashes, diconnections etc., because the player at least earned something prior to getting thrown out of the instance.
- Slain monsters should always give experience and have a chance to drop loot/coins. I believe a vast majority of players hated Silverwastes events, for example, because mobs would not drop any loot, hence we ended up seeing LFG getting flooded with “SW 50%-90%” groups. Barely anyone wants to bother building up the progress until it’s Breach/Vinewrath time. So yea, please design events with mobs dropping loot.
- Design a map instance player slot reservation system, which will preserve the position of a disconnected player on that same instance for X amount of minutes (I think 5 minutes is a fair amount of time to regain connection and log back in the game), also preserving any possible buffs and stacks the player has earned thus far. However, manual teleportation outside of the map, visiting PvP, WvW, Home instance, Hall of Monuments area, should automatically remove that player from the “reserved instance slot”, to avoid any kind of exploitation. Players will love you so much for this feature!
- Events spawning across the whole map is a nice thing, as long as a player’s attention is not required in every single one of said events. It’s much more fun if the map is divided in let’s say… 8-12 smaller areas, each spawning 3-4 events around said areas, so players just run around from event to event without having to teleport and well, sadly, literally “stealing” event completion from those whose loading times are longer. Best example of this would be how Dry Top organized runs work; groups of players are spread around the map and complete events in a certain order for maximum efficiency and rewards.
I hope this feedback helped thank you for reading.
Hello,
I tried the new Item Booster about an hour ago, on my engineer. I was gathering materials across almost every map, and encountered a rather annoying bug. Every single time my character finished gathering any type of node, the game kept unequipping my Flamethrower kit. I admit I didn’t test other kits, but I did test it after the Item Booster effect expired and the bug wasn’t happening anymore. Could other classes with bundles/kits/conjured weapons test it and provide feedback for the developers’ team here?
Thank you

Greetings.
Inspired from the latest mini rock pet release today (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Pet-Rock-is-in-the-gemstore), I’d like to make a suggestion.
Similarly to how we got the Bobbleheads laboratory and Aviator memory box, why can’t we have an item that gives all characters googly eyes? Like the mini rock pet has!
Said item could also affect helmet gear that function like eye glasses (e.g. Monocle, Reading Glasses, etc.).
What do people think? I personally believe it will be hilarious, as eye shapes can differ a lot between character races, genders and player preferences during character creation.
Please, no.
There’s enough collect-a-monster crap with just minis.
Yet no one ever forced players to collect every single one of them. It’s something optional. And after all, mini-pets are only decorative (for the time being, at least), you can’t do anything more with them other than fill your bank
Hello everyone, for some reason the Suggestions forum has been removed, can’t find it. So I’m posting here instead, if the Suggestions ever come back forum mods may move this thread there.
I am pretty sure that many players here were fans of the Final Fantasy series back then, the good old classic FF7, FF8, FF9 ones specifically. You probably remember those fun card games you could play against NPCs or even against some main story characters as well.
The general idea of the card game is summed up to enriching your card collection, with the most common cards having normal “stats”, and the very rare ones having much stronger stats. This will motivate all the GW2 players who just love collecting stuff to start killing specific types of monsters in specific areas in order to claim the creature Card, whether it is of common, rare, exotic or legendary rarity, and be able to use that card in the card game against other players. Should the cards be tradeable over the Trading Post, this will offer players one more challenge: sell their cards for profit, or purchase other players’ cards to complete their collection.
How the Card Battle system works: Although the overall idea of this mini-game is to place your cards in the “battlefield” and compare them with your opponent’s cards (card with highest number(s) wins), I will not mention the exact mechanics of the FF series card mini-games, because I want to see something new.
Just imagine how cool it would be, getting extremely rare cards of the GW2 main story characters, which you could also inspect to read more about the GW2 lore and background of each of those characters. Anything could be presented on a card. From a White Moa to Evon Gnashblade, and from a white rarity Dagger to the legendary hammer Juggernaught. Anything! Even the big towns of Tyria can exist on a card! Rata Sum, Lion’s Arch, Zephyr Sanctum (from an older Living Story), even malicious characters like Scarlet and members of the Toxic/Molten Alliance.
I hope the Guild Wars 2 staff will cherish this idea and implement this as soon as possible (because I’d personally be delighted to see this in-game).
Optionally, there could be a special achievements category designed for this mini card game.
Yes, I can confirm it happened to me and a guildie as well. Hopefully we will get a fix for it soon.
Nice book guy
I think A-net appreciates detailed feedback. Whether it seems like a book or not, we hope they will look into these issues the living story has.

Update: Thank you for changing the Consortium Sickle animation. The last one fits the item much better, it’s fast and allows use interruption in times of need.
Now, if you’d also consider adding the blood dripping effects to it.. you awesome developers!
Firstly, I would like to thank the game developers for fixing the Consortium Sickle animation. Now it is more beautiful and it is highly appreciated that we are once again able to interrupt the animation if needed (e.g. enemies spotting us).
However, like all the Sclerite weapon skins that have that “eye” trademark on them, the Consortium Sickle also has. Why do you not add a blood dripping effect on the sickle (for as long as it remains visible during harvesting), like the Sclerite weapon skins have. They are obviously created from the same “material”. Please consider adding this effect to the Consortium Sickle, you will make it even more amazing if you do.
To all the players that purchased the Consortium Sickle, if you like this idea please post in this thread. Perhaps we can convince the developers to do us this favour ^^.
I always wanted to see a better and more noticeable day/night cycle in the game. Imagine WvW fights in the dark during night time, with random lanterns scattered throughout the maps, more dense around the buildings and supply camps, providing light to the players. I am not speaking of a pitch dark environment of course that could possibly cause discomfort in WvW battles. Just something more atmospheric.
