from playing other mmos i truly feel there are some things that need to be brought in and changed with this game for GW2 to maintain the new people playing the game, i.e. people from other mmos (warcraft for example lost 5 mill subs)
first thing, is :
WAY to many time sinks
i can understand the legendary being time consuming and thats fine
but ascended gear shouldn’t be as time consuming (for example)
i also dont like the fact that your best way of getting them is via tradeskills
imo each boss in the hardest version of the dungeons should drop something , and each world boss, make them weekly lockouts if you have toit seems like most of the time playing the game the reward does not meet the effort
2nd thing
MOUNTS if GW2 really wants to make money add mounts, ya theres points all over the place , but i personally like riding through and enjoying the scenery instead of skipping it all by porting
this could be a huge cash cow on the market PLUS make the chests worth something and buying the keys worthwhile3rd thing
3rd party addonsthis is pretty big, damage meters and ui customization would be alot more veteran MMO player friendly and keep people playing
4th thing
more of a traditional dungeon trait for classes, ie tank, healer, dps
i know this game pushes the whole mechanic thing to its limits..but alot of new players coming from other games feel this gets old very fast
to much invis skip through trash in dungeons for example
why even have it in there if people can skip it, why not just have the 4 bosses lined up one after another?i feel they need to do something that forces people to kill all the enemies in the dungeons ie extra chest for dungeon kill completion
Honorable mentions:
NERF Mesmer for the love of god lol
balance pvp
make boss exclusive items that have a decent drop rate (esp in upcoming raids, (pets aren’t acceptable btw))
Update store with new items monthly
post everything there is on the store 24/7 (its money you’re losing)
@ OP first and foremost thanks for making the thread, it’s good to have these discussions as we can all voice our opinions and let our voices be heard, On that note I would have to disagree with most of the options you’d like implemented except a few…
I honestly believe optional UI customization would be a welcomed addition, they developed such a beautiful game here, the art work is unlike anything I’ve seen in any mmo I’ve ever played, the lighting is superb and attention to detail is beyond expectations. That being said some of it is so clunky (Chat box & Map) that it almost doesn’t belong. I’d love to see them reworked entirely and added as an option. The first person view is a joke this most assuredly would not change the game in any shape form or manor to allow proper first person camera. Try playing any class with a longbow in first person tell me what you see.
Mounts could be a fun addition albeit unnecessary.
I’d also agree that updating what goes on the store more often would be nice, so long as it’s cosmetic only.
Can we please get a better LFG tool, GW2 is published by NCSoft so you should at least have access to Aion which has a far superior LFG tool
*edit’s aren’t working properly please excuse a double post
