NO.
^^^ That’s common knowledge, bro. What I meant was Ascended gear isn’t the only form of vertical progression in the game.
This thread is about how both my husband and I both feel about GW2 as well. We were very excited to start, but now it feels just like a gear oriented grind fest with unbalanced combat and spammed world events lacking the quality that I’ve come to expect from the GW team.
I want to enjoy content and to be able to play casually while my husband plays more hardcore.
I agree with most of the original post.
I love the mechanics of GW2 and enjoy the combat and artwork greatly but I just feel like there isn’t much to do.
You could do a daily fractal, and then spend 10 minutes finishing up your daily achievements but that’s essentially all the end game content feels like at the moment. Unless you go to WvW or PvP and not everybody likes having to run around a WvW map setting up siege to capture buildings.
Dungeons and fractals are pretty much the only end game PvE content and they don’t have a feeling of longevity.
Perhaps I’m being overly critical because GW2 is a great game, I just feel like there’s not much to do once you get map completion and ascended gear etc.
If you wanna be on top of leader boards put in the effort. No ones forcing you to grind achievement points.
You also mention new armor skins. I would LOVE each profession get its own distinct look like they had in GW1. I want my Warrior to look more terrifying than my calm cool and collected Guard. My Necro more hideous than my eligant Mesmer and fiery Ele. My Theif to look more stealthy than my steampunk Engi and nurture intuned Ranger. Reworking the skins we already have to fit each class’s uniqueness would bring a lot more excitement to each class and the game.
PvP Rank – 151 – Dragon
WvW Rank – 1,120 – Silver Colonel
I agree they need to do something that will make people want to play and not look and say: yey we get new terrible looking armors that will eat all my money to make.
Do I really want to log in?
GW2 needs to change the perspective.
At first we were liking new items, but there is almost too much and new are on the way. They will find customers for that, but you know…
This won’t be a majority any more. People really seems to want new maps even thou it migth be a problem, but there are many many areas that are changed drastically and those areas are like WvW and PvP.
PvE which has the most ofter used like some kind of main game way is not everything.
Yes I know many people feel bored abut that due the fact that you don’t do other stuff in the game. You only go solo or duo some achievements and them go away for 2 weeks.
I know storywise this game need a lot but it’s another problem that seems to go in CDI.
You really should go and read some CDI and then I feel like the post will be more in place.
NO !!

who crawled up ur kitten and died?
Hmm, also boxing combos and such oh and yea changing it to mists…soon…as far as infernal energy just change it to mists enegery.
i have 4 or 5 80’s never finished the story. I have tried it just does not feel like its my story. I wanna be the hero not some salad that I meet halfway thought.
A-Net should offer a insta 80 scroll for like 20-30 dollars and be able to buy on the gemstore.
Can’t wait till we also find out Scarlet’s behind the dragons waking up.
Do people actually brag about taking empty maps and PvDoorin’ for hours straight ?
We let our consistent point tick do the talking. Who is laughing now?
Play for that PPT and keep dying in all the fights k?

I would love to see a finisher that flashes your guild symbol over the enemy. Maybe make them unlockable via a guild upgrade, similar to the guild armorsmith/ weaponsmiths? Or purchased with guild commendations? I want my guild’s symbol to strike fear in the hearts of our enemies!
Please? <3

The statement, that this game would be full of 80 noobs and dungeonfailbobs bc everyone could skip the leveling process is simply not true.
If you need 80 (eighty!) levels to learn 4 weapons and 20 Utilitiskills, than this game is maybe a little bit complex for you.
You don’t learn anything about dungeons while leveling. If player A levels his char in, lets say, one week, to 80, and player B uses the instant 80 scroll and then spends only half a week in dungeons, well, which one would you rather have in your group?
It’s not about a mesmer knowig that he has a skill named Feedback. He needs to know when to use it, or otherwise he’s just going to produce pretty purple bubbles at random.
Oh, and why do you think we have so many LB-bear Ranger in dungeons? They tried this tactic in open PvE while leveling, it worked, and now they are convinced that this build is viable. Because, you know, it worked up to now, why should I listen to some random guy I met in Arah? What, now he wants me to use reflection? Isn’t that the thing Guardians have? I’m a Ranger, kitten, what a noob…
I support this idea. Instant 80 scrolls would be awesome. If thats too much, convert the instant 20 scrolls to + 20 lvl scrolls. I have enough of them…
You know, play the way I want. And I DON’T want to play open PvE. I want to play both dungeons and WvW on a competitive level.
I like it, especially if it changes attack flame colors to match.

I am all for wvw alt-friendliness. I don’t agree with OP’s idea though. The only way it would make sense was if turning on the Commander tag automatically changed your display name to your account name. That way when troll Commander Gabby decides to switch to another alt, and troll with them as the commander instead, it still says “Commander Gabby”. If OP amends this to their original submission I would support it.

Ohh lovely idea. I like your idea better, really. It solves the problem.

I have to give ET credit for their siege usage. You guys have all the right siege in all the right places to defend your stuff. You make it incredibly difficult if we can’t keep things paper. Nobody is going to take your garrison this week unless it’s while you are asleep.
I mean that is apart of the game, iv seen your servers do this mesmer trick plenty of times going dead at a gate or watergate so that your mesmer can be revived and then port people in from the other side. If your going to cry we wont do it anymore but at no times have we ever glitched or hacked to get into a tower or keep that means you need to sweep better and watch for mesmers at gates or watergate, this glitch has been around since the beginning Anet has not fixed it and it has been used by multi servers and multi guilds, so I would thank you if you’d stop calling my guild out on some BS glitch that has been around since the start take it up with Anet and the fellow guilds on your own servers!
I really, really dream about skill swapping on weapons. I dream about my staff mesmer dealing pure burst damage (something like ele), instead of weak winds of chaos. We should be able to pick skills for a weapon, because having only 5 skills per weapon often forces us to use a weapon we don’t like. Why should I use GS on my mesmer if I want to be efficient berserker? Every weapon should have at least 3 different skills per slot (1-5) to choose.
1- zerker skill
2- defensive skill
3- cond dmg skill
this would make players happy, because many of them give up their favourite weapons to keep damage with weapons they don’t like (imho mesmer with greatsword is a joke and I want to be long-range zerker -.-).
Also, many elementalists would like to be water/ice dmg dealing eles, and they can’t. Weapon skill swapping is the #1 MUST be.
Double Scepter and Double Shield!
I want to use axe (want a Frostfang in my guard), remake the shield skills so we can actualy use it a lot, at least the skill #4 so can stun and make the 3rd hit from hammer be faster.
For Skills i would like the idea of Lonewolf about a shout that give us quickness.
For traits maybe we can get the 25% movement speed? Since a lot of us dont want to sacrifice ur rune setup for more movement.
