Yea, dc’s has become daily and it affects literally thousands… before that certain patch i never disconnected, never.
Of course but i thought id go with the sheer willpower since the tequatl was updated aswell because of me. gyahahaha
Is the reason why you don’t make hard and challenging large scale bosses because it would be too much for the server/or something similar to handle it? I mean Lupicus is the only challenging boss in the game at the moment for me, and i want to know is it not possible to make the dragons act in such a large scale like lupicus because it would be too much or difficult to send information to so many players at once? I mean i appreciate it from the bottom of my heart if my message inspired you to do the tequatl update when i suggested ‘’make dragons move and do more attacks instead of just making them stand where they are. For example. tequatl could jump around there is huge space there for it to do it, and it would look so cool.’’ but i want to know that can’t the dragons be programmed to do more exciting things like Lupicus because the server/or something couldn’t handle it or because you guys haven’t really thought about it/or somehow your style is to keep things simple and you don’t want too difficult things in the game? I mean i really, really can’t see the reason why you can’t see this simple key to make things much more better with such tiny changes: more harder challenges that inspires people to play and look forward to every time they log in to the game! It is such a simple thing. The people who can’t survive or kill the harder challenges can simply do the easier ones, why do you even care if some people can’t succeed in a hard dungeon? But the thing is, you don’t have ANY hard dungeons or bosses at the moment! There is nothing to look forward to when i log in in the pve side of the game. The only challenges i enjoy sometimes is soloing lupicus with various classes or going 1vs3 in pvp or wvw. Sometimes i meet couple of good players but it’s not enough to satisfy me. Tell me the reason why you don’t make strong bosses and dungeons which is so ridiculously clearly one of the keys to make things much, much more exciting. It also makes the game much kitten ring in so many ways. It would be such and incredible and simple way to make the pve much more interesting.
As you can see i am very passionate about this game since it has everything i desire except the challenge in the pve side. Thank you
for this magnificent game, >i really appreciate it.<
I am satisfied with everything in GW2 but one thing, and it troubles me at nights why you haven’t done anything about it. To me, it’s the very key to a succesfull game and i simply can’t understand why you haven’t noticed it: a challenge for the better players in pve which would wipe out the problem of boredom. Now excuse me, i will start to talk passionately.
I have not done much coding myself and i don’t know much about mmorpgs, but i do know there is one challenging boss in the game: Giganticus Lupicus which is a proof that many more even harder things could be added. For me that is the key to a succesful mmorpg, having something challenging available for everyone, including those who need harder challenges every time they log in. Why would you even care if someone is not able to complete a dungeon with his group? I would think ‘’wow well that was interesting, i have a lot to learn.’’ and i would look forward to the next time. THEN, when i am able to complete that dungeon i can do something even
more harder, and there can be lots of these ‘more harder’ things to do so there can be even more unique and exciting experiences! We can only try to make something that ‘’we think is hard’’ but we can’t decide what hard is. If you see some people complete the hardest thing in the game, try to make something even more harder, it is as simple as that. I love the beautiful living story -way, but don’t you think this game needs some secrets and challenges? You could also make many of these ‘difficult challenges that most of the people wouldn’t be able to complete in a week or never at all’ to be available at the same time which would significantly decrease the boredom -sickness i have been seeing in the game. Just make difficult things it is as simple as that, make something for the non-mainstream people aswell, be the rare mmorpg that does that. I want to know why you haven’t noticed this simple key to make everything ridiculously better…
Because i enjoy a challenge, i wouldn’t let people stack next to a hard monster and dps it down. Every hard monster should be capable of preventing that by doing something like knockbacking players automatically if they try to stack, do high dps to range stackers, evading by moving really fast at times and safe-spots would not be allowed at all and if such things were to be found, they would be fixed. A hard boss could calculate which players are inside it’s attack range, which one of the players has lowest hp and then acts according to this kind of data. This obviously makes it more hard for the players to survive because the monster can try to take them down more effectively and the players who enjoy challenges gets more excited about the fight and feels much more rewarded once succeeded. Of course some monsters can do attacks to random places aswell to make it even more colorful and challenging. However i hope i am not misunderstood, what i am simply saying here is that it would be only exciting for everyone if you would offer content continuously for both kind of players, to those who like a bit easier fights and to those who need challenges. At the moment you are not offering content to the ones who want a challenge and many people are leaving. I mean this is so simple, you could even have a boss that no one has ever been able to defeat. I like the idea that there would be couple of extra-hard things up, that is something that makes me feel excited. What kind of reward will i get? (Because no one knows) How will the enemy behave in different stages of the fight? Dont think about it in a elitist way, it is just to give good experiences. Don’t make elitist rewards for the harder dungeons and bosses if that feels wrong, just do the bosses and dungeons and that is enough, we need even some kind of challenges. Like atleast 5 harder bosses/dungeons than Lupicus. That would be incredible improvement. I mean if you need ideas for the bosses just contact me and i will start to work fullday. If you make hard, challenging things this mmorpg is perfect in my opinion. In pvp and wvw you can always go and fight multiple enemies at once but in pve theres nothing challenging for the better players. It is not to make a elite instance with elite bosses that only some elite people are able to defeat and then they get some elite armor and weapons. No, just to have a nice challenge.

mounts
Never going to happen.
If Tyria was as free-roaming as, say, Warcraft’s Azeroth then it’s be a perfectly reasonable suggestion to ask for some form of transport to ‘bridge the gap’ between one point and another, but as GW2 already has a waypoint system and smaller play zones, the inclusion of mounts is just not necessary.
I don’t see anything bad in running in pve with mounts even though there are wps, and you really didnt think that there could be instances and areas without wp:s just for mounting? There are so many things that could be done, just gotta be open enough. As i said ‘’Just be open and customize these ideas to suit the game.’’
in wvw there could be separate area without wp:s for mount wars or something. Think about players riding wild boars or armored moas, fun stuff.
Of course i understand there can be much more important things to update and develop at the moment but these are just things that could be included some day. I wouldn’t personally mind any of these.

Here are some ideas for the game. I know some of these have already been suggested but anyway ill do this because im open to the possibility it might affect something positively. I thinked of all of these ideas as the kind that wont affect the game in a bad way. (in my opinion)
undergound pub with arena under lions arch:
simply a pub under lions arch. You could sit at some tables and drink booze, or go to the huge arena which is right next to it. I think many people would really enjoy something like this. You could duel there with people. These are very little changes that could make this game a lot better.
mounts (not available in dungeons):
- pve normal mounts like armored moas or something like that.
- pve flying mount after completing world map 100% (so you can’t fly to vistas) maybe a little dragon? (and yes, i mean you can fly anywhere you want, even above the clouds. Why not just let people fly on the sky? flying is fun. I haven’t seen cool flying system in any mmorpg, so why not do it?) Also, just disable flying mounts while in guild missions or don’t let players fly to places you don’t want them to. Just be open and customize these ideas to suit the game.
- if for wvw then it should be done in a way it doesn’t make wvw worse. (obviously, no flying mounts and people with mounts can’t be any faster or better than the ones without mounts) this could be probably done by not making mounts faster than what your character already is. You could maybe fight on the back of the mount but it would not make you stronger than without the mount.
dragons
- make dragons move and do more attacks instead of just making them stand where they are. For example. tequatl could jump around there is huge space there for it to do it, and it would look so cool. Make some kind of code that makes them fly in randomly generated way and in a certain area and behave in a certain way in certain conditions and hp amount. There are so many things you could do: make jormag move more and in one point there would be 5 second time for players to try climb on his back and then fight on his back while its flying. The dragons in the game at the moment are not dragons, they are boring robots standing.
rename guild:
- you could simply rename your guild from the guild settings like editing guild emblem.
change race:
- there was a asura who claimed to have built a machine that could transform you to another race. but no one believed it so the players have to prove that by doing some event chains. Then there would be couple of weeks time to change your race, or this
could be permanent. Ofc this could be done in many other ways, like the character name change which you can buy.
new race:
- hylek (with matrix sunglasses, how cool is that)
some other ideas:
- wvw has own traits separately like pvp (i have to change them 5 times everyday since i do dungeons and wvw)
- more armor skins for lots of more customization. (hire some more art makers.)
- more funny and stronger bosses in pve. (something challenging, like 10 lupicus combined, i mean why not? some people really need a challenge right now, everything in pve is way too easy. those who would say its hard could just do the easy ones)
- more wvw maps just for fun, really unique dark forests for example. different scenarios to make the game more interesting.
- more and more and more customization. customization of the characters is one of the most important things. /maybe create some kind of system which allows players to create a look that no other can have)
these are only some ideas to throw in the air which could make this game funnier and more enjoyable.
Im not sure how the games work or is it all about the money. But i hope that there are some really passionate people there making this game better and that they would listen to our ideas. Underground black lion pub with arena would be really good thing, i tell you now. really, really good. i think many people would enjoy it.
AND most importantly we probably live only once so yeah, what are we waiting for? lets make this game better!
