I have been playing Guild Wars 1 a few months after Prophecies was released. I have been a dedicated player, and really enjoy what GW1 and GW2 has to offer. This thread is just a few suggestions for improvements that I would like to suggest to the developers. I’m not starting a flame war, and I’m not trolling. I just want to offer some suggestions for GW2.
I really liked the personal storyline for the game, and the choices you can make to explore different paths in the story. It gives you a chance to explore the different paths, and lets you explore the content more. The one thing that saddens me is the the release story lines don’t really fall into place with the overwhelming threat of the elder dragons. I really wish that they would start aiming towards building up storyline to take on the other dragons. At first when I heard that Flame and Frost was going to come out I was excited. I thought maybe this will be a storyline about Jormag, and maybe start building towards going after him. The Southsun release was good, but I don’t see why this would be happening with the threat of the dragons in the background. I think Guild Wars 2’s storyline should be about the dragons.
GW1 had Guild Halls and Guild Vs Guild battles. The title of the game is Guild Wars 2, but yet there are no GvG battles in the game. I know Guild Halls are maybe something that is later down the line, but it was a great feature of GW1.
Temporary dungeons are a good feature of the live releases, but it gets annoying when dungeons close. They become unavailable material, and you don’t know if they are going to open up in the future. I really like the idea of permanent dungeons like Fractals of the Mists. Personally I really enjoy fractals, and would like to see more fractals available in the game.
The realms of the gods would be an awesome addition to the game. I really like Underworld and Fissure of Wow from GW1, and enjoy partying with my friends in them. I had been waiting for more realms to open up in GW1, but it never occurred. I really wish you could do a live release with a different realms for the human gods. It would be awesome to go back into Underworld with my friends in GW2.
Player created content would also be a wise addition to GW2, and would add to the endgame in a much more enjoyable fashion. I know a dev team of a large size will not be able to product enough content for speed players to enjoy. They quickly work through the material in a few days when it takes developers years to create such material. Right now once you hit level 80 you have a few options available to you to enjoy: dungeons, legendary weapons, ascended equipment, and PvP. Creating the ability to create player content would allow players to explore fresh new content every time they log into the game.
Another thing that would be nice is if the dev team would fix the webpages on their website. Right now on the home page for GW1 the hall of monuments link is a dead link. Another thing that I wish they would fix the the reward calculator itself. It’s all messed up . I’m posting a screenshot of what the reward calculator looks like. Also it would be nice if the Beta message next to it was removed.
Well that’s all I can suggest for now. If I think of anymore I will add to this thread.
