Its never going to happen, but the trinity was really the only thing missing from this game for it to retain my top spot for years potentially. I really like the dynamics behind the trinity, and dungeons/raid bosses in GW2 feel like a huge mess without it. I understand that people hate the idea of waiting on a tank or healer (often acting like divas), but the easiest way to manage that would have been to allow every class to build in a manner that let them tank or heal. That or making dungeons scale based on whether or not you had one, something I have never seen before in an MMO.
This makes no sense to me. Assuming you already have a copy of Guild Wars 2, this means that the only people doing this are people who have yet to play Guild Wars 2. Now why would I pledge to put aside other games when I know so little about this particular one? Not to mention for all we know, they might only give out one copy and just use the rest of the videos for free publicity.
Because in most MMOs, I order my skills based on the frequency of their use. So it bothers me when I have weapon sets that have long cooldown, situational skills on buttons 2 and 3 instead of 5. I figured it would be something simple to change.
I know this is going a tad off topic from just living story, but it should be addressed in part. There needs to be more randomization in the spawning of Champion monsters and dynamic events. In addition, a good idea would be a sort of “Zone Of the Day” system where events in that specific zone award more EXP/Karma and possible loot drops equivalent to Champions if you receive Gold. That would get people changing zones every day instead of just the most efficient one.
I feel disappointed in the consequences of failing events in both living world and dynamic events. Back when I originally heard of Guild Wars 2, I imagine that these dynamic events would all lead into encounters as large as the world boss of each zone. However, I was disappointed to find out that most events just continually cycle within minutes, and very few things change when an event is lost aside from a fast travel point being contested.
Even though they are more repetitive, I feel like the dynamic events in Rift are far more interesting on average because there are serious consequences for ignoring them and not teaming up. We need to see massive invasions. We need to see roaming packs of elite monsters that don’t just contest one location, but eventually all of them.
Although theres a clear discrepancy between female and male armor and character creation options, a good first step would be the ability to disable the ingame character voice overs. I believe this was even an option in beta?
It would be really helpful if you could visually rebind your weapon skills on your bar. As I understand it now, you can change your weapon skill 5 to activate when you press 4, but it doesn’t change the location of the skill icon on your bar which can be very confusing. when your keys are different from the bar location. All I am asking is the option to change weapon skills to different slots on the bar.
I don’t want to particularly force RP in the form of a social event through a political system or anything, but I do think there are some alternatives.
The game needs more open world activities, locations where people are given incentive to meet up and play together outside of instances and champion trains. These can take the form of more mini-games such as the keg toss event or that archery event we heard about early in the game’s development. Of course, the issue is that most modern MMOs players still have that mentality that they need to be rewarded for their time, so you would have to find a nice balance between rewarding players for having fun at these mini-game events, and not making it viable to level or get rich from solely doing them.
Additionally, you could take some ideas from other games such as Mabinogi. Its pretty much known for its events and mini-games. One extremely well known one is the Banquet which is held every Saturday night on every server. Its a congregation where everyone just meets at a banquet hall for food, discussion, and most importantly to most individuals, experience. You could adapt a similar event into GW2 with ease by having players receive experience the more time they spend there. Of course, you wouldn’t make it so efficient that you could level entirely from doing that. All that would need to be done is give it a flat percentage of EXP per minute. Maybe only letting people gain 4-5 levels. Thats nothing when you consider it could be a weekly event.
So I was misinformed by a friend about what server he had picked when he started a few days ago, and as a result I picked the wrong server and have to wait 7 days for the transfer to be available. Do you think support staff would allow a transfer if the account had no characters on it?
Seems to happen very frequently and consistently on my laptop when I run into large train groups and generally intensive world boss encounters. Repairing the game files doesn’t help, but I have sent the data many times.
Sure, if you remove the timer any server can succeed at the fight. However, that also means its pretty much impossible to lose the fight because of zerg rushing. I for one don’t want players to feel like they’re entitled to winning every fight they come across just because they complained it was too hard. Honestly, I’d rather lose a few times than win something with no effort and no chance of losing. Thats the difference between the two versions.
Would like to know as much as I can about the three servers mentioned in the topic, and the guilds that are housed there. I’m looking for the server with the most established, populated PvE scene, but with capable WvW guilds. Can you recommend any that stand out? Guilds with websites preferred.
I’d like help in choosing a new main to do PvE content with, and I’d like to not spend a ton of time testing out all the builds in the mists, so I’d like player feedback. Heres some things to note.
-I really dislike ground targeted AoE skills, direct target skills are best
-I liked ranged, but would like means of either surviving or knocking enemies back if they get into melee
-I like giving boons to people and reviving people, since I know theres some skills that benefit that
-Armor preference isn’t a big deal, but most medium armor looks bad to me
-Bonus: Would be nice to have a good upkeep of Swiftness
I am looking for help in deciding on a good realm to play on. I only played GW2 during the first few weeks of launch, so I have recently returned with little to no knowledge on the status of well known realms.
I know most people are just going to recommend their own realm, but are there any that stand out in terms of their PvE guilds? Realms that typically host lots of events and farming groups? I’m not too keen on WvW, but its a bonus.
I sure would be more inclined to play Elementalist if their conjuring skills changed based on their element at the time, or when summoned. However, that also means that Elementalist built like that would have so many potential skill combinations that it would be a nightmare to balance.
As a semi-new player, should I be concerned with choosing crafting professions based around their legendary weapon components, or just professions that could help me level more efficiently?
I’m not a huge fan of maxing all my professions on one character, so I would like to just stick to 2 for my Guardian. Would it be better to pick something based on my class, or my planned legendary items? Can you still make/obtain them without those specific professions?
The thing I hate seeing most on here are people addressing dissenting opinions as nothing more than a ‘vocal minority’ without even considering why they would be thinking what they do. Its idiotic, and childish.
I recently came back to GW2 with an account that has no characters. As I was browsing the world list, I had selected one without noticing that it has a 7 day lockout period. As this is the server that I did not really intent to play on, would it be too much trouble to change the account’s home world to another (Blackgate) considering it has no characters on it? I have placed a support ticket, but it is taking a long time.
I think the issue here is that you should ‘encourage’ players to run different dungeons, instead of gating people from doing the same dungeon over and over.
Instead of flat out preventing people from running a dungeon over and over, give incentives to run different ones? Maybe like a mild Karma/EXP/Gold increase for switching them up each day.
