And the CS Team promptly replaces the duplicates with keys. So, opening more chests isn’t the “solution”.
I’m afraid your statement that nothing suggested by the playerbase has ever been implemented in the game is just not true.
So, yes, it is worth posting.
Most enjoy GW2 for its differences. The things you suggest can be found elsewhere. Hopefully, they will never come here.
Welcome to Tyria, and good luck.
When it’s ready.™
Isn’t that those electric balls added with that past LS episode? Gee, I forget their name.
Ahh…Spectral Flames from Plan of Attack.
‘Spectral Flames spawn; these enemies move slowly, but are invulnerable, and their explosions cause Burning for a long time, as well as heavy damage and launch.’

Or the more players leave because these features are vehemently not wanted. Not to mention are against the Developers pillars of intent for the game.
You can find the features you desire in other games, but not here, sorry.
You can always preview what’s contained in Black Lion Chests before acquiring/using Black Lion Chest Keys. If you see nothing of interest, then, perhaps, wait until the loot table changes.
Good luck.
Perhaps, with the next map? Never? Something in-between?
Doubtful that an official answer will be forthcoming, but, again, one never knows.
Good luck.
I much, much prefer my Ranger to my Warrior. They seem completely different to me.
But, as I’ve been designated a ‘bad’ player for choosing Ranger in the first place, what do I know? Lol.
If you continue to have issues, you can contact the Tech CS Team for assistance. Top/Bottom of Page – Support – Submit a Request
Make sure to choose an option from all drop-down menus to avoid an error.
Good luck.
Oh noes, a Dev necro-posting. Do you main a Necro, Bobby? =P
Some of those things, maybe in expansion number 3 (unless they have already been planned). Pretty sure new Elite Specializations are on the docket. I doubt much can be added to expansion number 2, as it is not that far off from release.
Good luck.
There are no ‘healers’ in the game, so I am unsure what it is you want to be ‘fixed’. There was much discussion even before the game launched that players would never rely on others for healing, but primarily themselves.
Here is an article about healing in GW2:
Heal: Don’t belittle the SUPPORT role by calling it heal. Healing is the least dynamic kind of support there is. It is reactive instead of proactive. Healing is for when you are already losing. In Guild Wars 2 we prefer that you support your allies before they take a beating. Sure, there are some healing spells in Guild Wars 2, but they make up a small portion of the support lines that are spread throughout the professions. Other kinds of support include buffs, active defense, and cross-profession combinations.
For instance, an elementalist can support his allies by dropping down a ground-targeted healing rain that rejuvenates allies in an area. He might also use Windborne Speed to help them chase down a target or escape out of longbow range. A warrior might shout “On My Target” to help his allies do more damage to a marked enemy, or use his warhorn to “Call to Arms” which improves the armor of his allies for a short time.
We use our cross-profession combos to fill in the rest of our support. An elementalist can create a Firewall or Static Field to improve the ranged attacks of his allies. A warrior can carry a Banner of Wisdom around the battlefield to increase the power of his allies’ magical attacks. An elementalist might cast an ice spell to freeze enemies, but that same spell might give his allies Frost Armor to protect them from incoming attacks. When you boil it down, support is just the friendly way for players to work together to accomplish a shared goal.
Are you asking for the Developers to change the basic game design, and add healers?

You see, for me, anyway, adding Dungeons would not be end-game. What I mean is I don’t particularly do much Dungeon-running so that would not be something I would do at ‘end-game’. I guess end-game means anything after Level cap. I would rather have the new content that changes every two weeks, rather than something one would do over and over and over. I guess I get bored quickly. But, that’s just me. =)
Oooo! And as for the world changing outside of Instances, there are some mysterious Spectral Flames showing up all over different areas of Ascalon. What has Rytlock instigated/released?!
(edited by Inculpatus cedo.9234)
I have to agree with this. Removing dye drops completely takes that one exciting drop (besides the ultra-rare exotic from mobs) or special surprise from gathering right out of the game.
I, for one, will surely miss that. =(
You might try updating/re-installing/rolling-back your graphics drivers as there seems to be an issue with ‘nvd3dumx.dll’. And/or -repairing your game files.
Good luck.
Some seem like species, rather than races, so some of your suggestions don’t seem possible.
I think it’s fine, as is.
Can we downgrade these form “mastery” points to “casual” points? I thought the whole point was to have to work towards them and learn to master aspects of the game. Now they throw so many at you that you just get plopped in front of it is just not fun to get them anymore.
At least the raid mastery point additions took a few hours work to learn the fights.
I agree with this suggestion. Might as well delete mastery points from the game because it is so easy to get enough for everything, especially HoT masteries. And the exp is even easier to get. I think the whole mastery system is a failure at the current implementation.
Not the things you unlock with masteries, but masteries do not feel like you accomplished everything since Anet basically throws everything at you for barely any effort. Being masterly lvl 170 is just as meaningless as being lvl 80 pre HoT.The same problem exist with legendaries. They are so common and easy to make that the name legendary is missleading.
I’m not sure most of the playerbase plays 6, 8, 10 hours a day. Not playing for extended amounts of time, they may not be so adept, and it may actually be more challenging and time-consuming to ‘accomplish everything’.
Thus, I hope (and am pretty sure) ArenaNet designs content with more than the outliers in mind.
Try typing capital I enza, as it is impossible to create a character whose name begins with a lower-case letter.
Good luck.
Bad troll is bad.
OP, you sound like a complete clown. I don’t normally like comments like “Go back to WoW,” but I think for once this thread actually suits it. People who are new, or low level, should not be treated poorly or have “dominance” lorded over them by more experienced players.
You are ridiculous, and the fact that you’re even asking what a sign of experience and skill even is, makes you more ridiculous. Every word you say just demonstrates that you are a “newbie” yourself.
Picking the game up at launch, then leaving and coming back years later without a clue about what’s going on or how the game works, does not make you a “pioneer.” What a joke.
See this is the kind of behavior a veteran like me shouldn’t have to deal with.
ROFL. A veteran would know how long it takes to make a Legendary. No AP, no forum posts other than this thread, no knowledge. /shm
What is needed is a title that proclaims ‘I bought the game long ago, but have little play experience – be in awe!’
Good luck.
Considering it was stated that it would be a side project that Linsey would work on when she had time, and that it would not be anytime soon, I am guessing either there hasn’t been enough time, or it is a bigger project than expected.
It will happen when it happens is all one can really expect.
Good luck.
I would prefer no dueling in the open world.
Why can't I level my masteries anywhere?

So, ArenaNet spent time and resources designing content, that they knew, beforehand, no one would play? So, in order to waste more resources, they designed, again, more content they knew, beforehand, many would complain about? This is your take on it?
Seems a bit strange to me, to do all that work they knew, beforehand, would be wasted. Hmm.
I don’t know how many builds WvW-only characters want to have access to, but the Blog does state this:
A level 80 character that’s done none of the hero challenges should be able to unlock more than enough skills, specializations, and traits to make several unique full builds.
Maybe we can wait until all the information is released before being affronted by any fingers wagging around.
No.
No.
No.
Thank you, Mike, for the communication. It’s always great to hear from you. =)
What hype? You mean the one sentence that said: ‘More information will be released next week about features that are more suited to veteran players.’?
Major hype, indeed!
Existing thread 4 lines down: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/1-for-Mounts
Perhaps, having successfully developed and operated multi-player games for over 10 years, ArenaNet has some idea of what is, and is not, in the best interest of the company.
I’m sure most would appreciate more in-game items to earn, but I’m not sure that would guarantee more income.
Regardless, good luck with your suggestion.
O..k…
I wasn’t aware ‘several’ meant ‘one’. Nor was I aware that once you chose a build, it could not be changed.
If you are determined to be disappointed/out-raged/insulted/etc., I’m sure nothing said here will placate you.
Perhaps, after the AMA, information more enlightening and acceptable will be available.
Good luck.
I’m pretty confident you haven’t a clue.
Always torn on things like this. It’s great some players get something fun they wanted and that it funds the game, but a part of me feels like each time things like these appear it takes the game further away from having its own identity/theme.
I guess it keeps the game going ultimately
Since Cat Ears were a rather popular part of Guild Wars (One), I don’t think their return (to GW2) takes the game further away from having its own identity/theme. More like a nod to its past identity. Just my opinion, of course.
Comparison: Eye of the North and HoT

You forgot to write ‘so far’ on the HoT side of the equation.
Once it is complete (as EoTN is), it will be more equitable to compare them.
Good luck.
Ha ha!
We want permanent content, so we can do it again!
Don’t give us anything we have done before!
Too funny.
As long as it took to click the leveling scrolls. Lol.
You might try reading the Dev tracker.
I will have to agree with JustTrogdor….most of the female Human characters look like teenagers to me, already.
Now, being able to create older-looking characters would be welcomed, at least by me. =)
Ask yourself this: Why doesn’t the fast food you buy ever look like it does in the commercials???
Don’t save up bags to open all at once?
What the new combined dailies system should have been like:
Have at least 8 dailies from each of the 3 game modes so players can complete their daily by playing exclusively the gamemode they want, and have the option of completing it faster if they want to mix and match game modes.
This current implementation is a huge step backwards IMO. The old system at least showed the bare minimum of respect for players’ freedom to play the way they want due to the sheer number of options available to complete the daily.
Trying to manipulate players into playing the way YOU want is not going to work out well in the long term. In fact, even in the short term it will impact your player retention rates.
Keep a close eye on those login/daily completion stats, ANet. Hopefully you can realize what a horrible decision this was before it’s too late.
Likely, one of the reasons it was streamlined is because many people were unhappy because they felt the need to do every Daily offered. It is too bad for the rest of the population.
ArenaNet has raised the server caps twice in the past. Considering the half-off sales promotion, and the amount of posts from new players, they thought it best to raise the caps once again.
I gather you know this because Anet announced this previously. If there were no news from Anet, I would just go ahead and say people are taking a break or are moving on.
Yes, ArenaNet did announce this previously. A couple of times. Here is one such announcement:
ColinJohanson
Game Director
Due to a number of servers approaching full with a recent influx of new players from the sale on Gw2 that just ended, the server capacity was recently increased for a number of servers yes.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Server-capacity-increased-again/first#post1799655
Some people can fix this issue by picking up any items they might have in the TP waiting for them. You don’t have to finish the PS first to unlock or play any Season Two episodes. You do need to be Level 80 to play them, but not to unlock them. If you have ever received the mail once, on a character, you don’t need to receive it again for another character, just reading the first one on a different character will start the episode, as well.
Also, make sure your mailbox is not full. Good luck.

No to mounts. No, they won’t ‘save’ the game. Why? I don’t care for the reasons posted for wanting them.
Posting so the Devs can see.
^And yet, Armor sets were removed from the Gem Store due to popular demand. Players wanted to earn them in-game, rather than buy them.
Now, maybe the playerbase feels there aren’t enough Armor Sets offered in-game, but it’s not like ArenaNet didn’t listen to the playerbase about offering Armor Sets for sale.

The gear and lockbox situation is frustrating
Collecting armor and weapon skins in classic Guild Wars was what I lived for, but Guild Wars 2 has trapped way too much of that metagame behind a pay wall and a grind wall, which has more than once stifled my desire to play or pay for anything. The armor available in the current gem store commits the cardinal sin of being infrequent and ugly, and the nicest in-game armor skins require specific dungeon tokens (and associated grinding) in a dramatic departure from Guild Wars, which simply required you to procure the money however you preferred, acquire the materials, and complete the requisite campaigns or maps. The weapon skins are even worse; those you can find dropped or buyable normally within the game aren’t much in the eyecandy department, and the most beautiful skins require extreme grinding or the purchase of lockboxes from the cash shop — lottery tickets that give you a chance at a drop that you can trade for something worth wielding. I know the game needs to make money somehow, but this is a huge turn-off for such a cosmetic-centric game.
The cash shop offerings themselves continue to stump me. I can understand buying gold, but I don’t know who buys llama finishers (see the top image) or weak consumables or overpriced eternal harvesting tools or chef hats or lockbox lottery tickets for weapons and dyes and minipets. Yuck. I am never even tempted by these things. I want to support the game, and when I open up the cash shop, I am there to buy beautiful armor and stunning skins directly. Even better, I’d love to buy new classes, new weapon types, new skins for my minions and pets, new animations, new particle effects, new dailies options, and new explorable maps! Please let me give you my money. And let’s pass on the llama finishers.
Think this is very relevant.
I think this is the opposite of what I expect or want to see in the Gem Store. Weapons? Professions? Dailies? Maps? No, thank you. Finishers and Harvesting Tools, etc? Yes, please.
I think they are removing some of the less popular weapon sets (really, Sclerite?) to make room for more weapon sets we might find more appealing. There have been comments about the menus being bloated, and scrolling through several pages aren’t welcomed by some.
Some people are close to hitting the Daily Achievement Point cap. I am against putting a cap on these, as well. Where is the foresight about the future of the game? Will the game be closed in 2 or 3 years? Because that is when many will have hit the caps. I just don’t understand the reasoning behind this.
I am unclear as to what the difference is between ‘Join this party to…’ and ‘search for party/LFG’.
I prefer the Trading Post to Spamadam.
Good luck.
Here is the patch note from March 26, 2013:
- Automatic camera rotation while defeated will no longer restart after the camera is moved.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-March-26-2013/first#post1856151
So, I’m confused about why there would be a middle ground. Just re-enable the previous feature that was ‘broken’ in the patch.
This kind of thing is why I rarely PUG. I didn’t know much about DPS meters, but I had no idea they weren’t just for one’s own performance.
I agree, bad idea, ArenaNet.
