Guild Wars 2

Frostfang.5109:

NO, No henchmen… That would ruin A LOT in this game!!!! Thanks…

How would it ruin a lot in the game? People who want to play with other people can, and people who can only play at off peak times can still enjoy the game with henchmen. No one would force you to use them.

I would love to see them – especially in dungeons but the GW2 ai isn’t near as intelligent as they were in Gw1.

+1. I really enjoy heroes/henchmen/mercenarys.

PD: Prepare to listen “Go back to skyrim noob” etc.

I think guild wars 2 should bring back henchmen. Even if it just allows for each person to only have one, and maybe make having them there take up an elite skill slot. I enjoy playing the game and running dungeons, but often times I dont have enough of my friends on to make a full group. And I hate seeing the lfg tags that require level 80, full zerker, all exotics, ping stats. I think if guild wars released a way to have a henchman, customize their weapons, armor, and skills, it would make the game more enjoyable for the casual gamers like myself. It would even be a feature that I would pay 1000 gems to unlock for my account.

I would love to see the NPC/hero system make a comeback. I personally am not good in team situations because I find it difficult to multitask – it’s just a part of my personality, but unfortunately because there is no solo option (well, you can go solo technically, but can’t survive to complete it), it is the very reason I don’t do many, if any, dungeons at all (I only do them if I must, for a meta achievement for some reward I really want).

I personally think the hero/NPC system from gw1 was one of the best concepts any game had ever made (that, and dyeable weapons), because you could upgrade their armor, change their builds, and go solo if the team scenario wasn’t your thing. I really miss it to be honest.

Am I the only one who noticed the pun in the first sentence? Hehehe.

But yeah, I just gave up on the personal story after that. Poor Tibs. He’ll live forever in my heart. And on my back. And as my desktop background. And- gets shot

A suggestion to keep certain people from getting upset at the thought of Cantha coming into being, Here’s a story arch you may want to try. The plague that Shiro Tagachi spread, Caused wide spreed burning of homes. The only ones that survived the blight where some stragglers from the city, Kurzicks and Luxons. Say the Kurzicks and Luxons rebuilt the towns and main city with there architecture. The names of the Kurzicks are mainly German any way (like zu Heltzer), also the names of the Luxons are different as well. Remake Cantha into a new place. That way no one is offended, And we can have a Cantha expansion pack. Just considering the possibility’s in Cantha.

As long as they keep everything else that is MOBA out of the game and just leave it at minions and towers, then yeah, I’d be on board with it.

This implies dungeon/fractal content isnt currently soloable. It is, just a bit tricky and obviously takes alot longer. So far I’ve soloed CoF and TA though I know for instance there’s this guy Wethospu whos soloed like literally all dungeons possible. However, if you mean soloing dungeons should take roughly as long as doing it with a group, at about the same level of difficulty and reward (meaning the mobs should be scaled down for solo play), its not a bad idea. BTW, the end instance Nightmare Incarnate was also soloable. Its probably the easiest dungeon to solo next to the Nightmare Chambers one, I do agree we should see more of these type of content.

I support the suggestion.

This is the exact same reason why I left WoW and the exact same reason why I refuse to do fractals and dungeons with groups.

I would like this.

I completely understand the desire for solo content.
But MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplay Online Roleplaying Game.
Too much solo content kind of defeats that.

I did absolutely love GW1, it is my favourite game hands down, but it was a completely unique creature and I don’t imagine we will be seeing anything like it again.

Just because it’s a multiplayer game doesn’t mean that players should have to group up to do things.

Just imagine a Quaggan wearing a Quaggan backpack. You will die from all the cuteness or die from the brain damage do to your thudding, lol.

I’m on Sea Of Sorrows, lmao. I think I see 1 of them out of every 20 players I see in my screen and it’s like: Oh, dear Lord…

Hi,

I rarely post on the forums, i’m much more of a reader. However, just minutes ago something happened to me that made me really frustrated.

I’ll keep it short.
I got into a CoE party and all went fine. Soon i got into some disagreement with another player about how to do the dungeon, i backed down because i had no intention in discussions and just went with his plan of action.

Soon this escalated when 3 of our party (myself included) wanted to skip the Champion troll, since that’s possible. The other two insisted we did this. I told them to go ahead but we we’re gonna skip it. They replied with “little kitten”.
After that, they intentionally lured the troll upon us and votekicked us out.

tl;dr

I’m kitten ed because i spend 25 minutes in a dungeon being called names and being provoked, and i end up getting kicked for staying polite and mature about the whole thing, even after being called names.

How am i as a generally kind, mature and serious player supposed to do anything about this? I do realize that this is rare. But this is seriously something that i would like to have resolved, and i think this is a worth a multiple report. For verbal abuse, trolling and in some sense, scamming.

I am griefed every time I say I am a Ranger – 99% will ask me if I ‘have another character’.

The sheer meanness of some people who want to control others is just getting awful.

Hiya, I am experiencing the same problem. I am on Ruins of Surmia.

It’s all the bad words in the world packed into one word. It’s like the Super Villain of all bad words. Its so bad it even drags innocent words into it and corrupts them. I’ve learned so many new bad words since I’ve started reading this forum and now see the evil potentials when you put 2 innocent words together, like that it, which used to be filtered as it has a reference to a part of the human anatomy.
