Guild Wars 2

Dark, this is a “suggestion” forum and since the game doesn’t have this feature that has been requested by some, he and many others have been “dealing with it” (including myself.)

We all have different pet-peeves but, they are nonetheless important to the person who posted it in a suggestion. It may not be important to you.

I understand, as I think the same thing when people plead for changes in character animation or looks. It’s not my thing and I don’t even notice it in the game.

However, it is important to those that post a suggestion on improving an animation aspect of the game and therefore I refrain from telling them to ‘deal with it’ because I respect their alternative/different opinion.

Checking your slew of recent posts I noticed a pattern of general negativity and ‘snarkyness’ perhaps you are having a bad day. If so I hope it improves for you.

“I had my skills ordered according to which spirits I wanted up first, the cooldowns and how long each spirit lived. "

Exactly! And if one is coming from ‘the game that shalt not be named’ years of muscle memory grabs AOE, buffs, self-heals/potions, etc. without even thinking about it.

While key-binding solves the muscle memory issue, it’s moot (at least for me) because I am looking at the on-screen buttons i.e. to see if a skill is nearing a cool-down, and I would be looking at the “wrong” button. So I bind in visual order and cry like a weak-sister about it here. :o)

I am liking the game more every time I play it but, I hate randomly ‘charging’ away from a pack of mobs because I hit ‘my’ AOE button. I’m sure it’s amusing to watch but, a bit frustrating to perform. ;o)

I don’t know how much work it would be to add that functionality but, it would sure be nice IMHO.

“At the moment it is very annoying for keyboard and mbgm players, it compromises reactivity, and confuses game-play.”

Less than a week in and I miss bartender/dominoes. Not asking for anything close to that much flexibility but, just the ability to ‘drag’ skills to whatever buttons/slots I would like on-screen. So it matches my keybind order.

I can keybind the way I want but, they are then visually “out of order” from left to right, etc. on screen.

I really like the ‘no add-ons’ philosophy <dodges tomatoes> and would like to see it remain but, some of the most heavily used add-ons in ‘another game’ added features that players felt necessary. For example, GW2 map is awesome, it adds features that were only available via add-ons (Carbonite) in ‘the other game.’

Character name tag options would also be nice for those of us whose vision is waning due to ahh — maturity <g> Think “Tidy-Plates’esce”

+10 to adding fishing. Yes it’s not exciting but, it was a nice way to occupy time when one was too tired to ‘play’ but wants to relax for a bit.

What I like thus far:
Just a few days in I absolutely love the game design. Little conveniences such as mail/TP access anywhere. The way points (running gets old.) Being able to remain competitive while still having a ‘real’ life (from what I’ve been hearing.) The DE’s are a great concept. Individual resource nodes. Things that let the player spend more time playing and less time ’running errands/character maintenance are very nice for those with limited time.

Again, noobie POV and it might change several months in.
