Guild Wars 2

I agree with this idea, right now minions ai are useless. Actually, the rangers pets can benefit from better ai and improving how they work. My pet usually fights things without being ordered to, and drags monsters towards me even if im not in fighting mode.

I like to be alone and fight that extraordinary boss solo sometimes. Plus it makes the world feel bigger than usual… but yeah your right to a certain degree. i think that all they need to do is to create an incentive to go back to those areas. Say, making certain loots drop from certain monsters in certain low level areas.

ANET can make good rent money with these ideas… I would probably pay for it.

Ok, here I go. First, I would like to thank Anet for their beautiful game, and I have enjoyed this more than basically any MMO I have ever played. The attention to detail is staggering, I have found myself constantly shocked at the things that happen all over Tyria, even in npc conversations! Alright, now here are some suggestions:

1- In the Mist, where the player can preview equipments: it would be nice to just click once on the clothes to preview instead of right click-then preview, and not need to refresh the preview screen when you want to see your character with another set of clothes. I happen to have carpel tunnel syndrome, and even typing this hurts! So I use a tablet to play. Right clicking hundreds of styles to see how my character looks with a certain set of clothes takes unusually long…

2- Preview items in BLTC: It has been stated before, but just in case…

3- It would be nice to make weapons/items you do not want to sell have a certain rounded border or something… let me explain: Sometimes I have TONS of items on my bags, but some of the weapons and items I don’t want to sell appear on the list. If you are in a rush to sell, chances are you might make a mistake and accidentally sell things you don’t want to sell, since some icons appear similar to other items. I have an exotic sword that has the same icon as a basic sword!

If players can, say… right click an item and highlight that item so that it either doesn’t appear on the selling list or at least has a giant yellow border around it. You guys might say: there are invisible bags for that! Well, when you equip-unequip weapons, and your invisible bags are full, those weapons will move to empty bags that might not be invisible. Another idea would be to right click an item and give it a permanent spot on a bag; THAT would be awesome, since I can just have a weapon have a permanent position in an invisible bag.

4- More variety on monsters looks: This one is hard but definitely for the future. It looks odd that the drakes on the fields near Queensdale are lvl 5, but on other fields they are lv60. It would be nice if they looked completely different. I know this is super difficult, but since Anet is amazing at details, I’m sure they thought of this before.

5- Hats! Why are the hats only usable on towns? Please give us choices to look different! it pains me that my character looks… well, he looks like that devil may cry character (trench coat and all!). We need hundreds of choices, from casual, to sporty, to hunter-like, etc. We need hats that are all over the style spectrum, I personally would love a general’ kittenlike in the image below. I would pay ANYTHING to look different!

And these are my only grips so far. Thanks for listening Anet!

if i zoom out to the max then yeah the fps does drop, but it doesnt bother ad much since is just a small drop to me, I still get 24 fps on lions arch, and 30 on other areas

Everyone needs to understand that Anet is seriously working towards a fix on this issue. not only does it affects players but also the company’s economy. This nightmare will end soon…

Aden

i didn’t even need to do this, it is already working with the improved fov, i think it was implemented secretly on the last update. Im loving the new fov settings!

Aden

this does happen often but i do get to sell because it works 50% of the time. I noticed that if I open the bltc on low populated areas it works wonderfully, but in lions arch it just doesn’t work. try doing it on a relatively empty area and see if it works.

Aden

surprised i havent seen many discussions about it, but this little improvement changed my game completely! Thanks Anet! all thats needed now is to fix the camera, which sometimes zooms in on close objects…

Aden

me too im amazed at how detailed and beautiful this game is!

Hello Anet, loving the event so far, but in the clock tower, the camera goes crazy with some blocks, as in Zooms in completely.

Also, norns and chars block the view, making it harder than it really is.

Everything else is great thought, thanks!

Aden

Everytime I call my pet, an AOE circle appears and I have to click it again in order for it to leave. Is this normal?

Thanks

Hello fellow players, and Anet staff:

I have been reading the forums for days since the game launched. I have also seen the positive reviews for this game in basically all video game review websites. I also pre-ordered the game, got the strategy guide (just for kicks, something to read on my way to work on my ipad), and among other things I am extremely pleased with the game. But before my fellow readers go nuts and flame me, please read on:

I did not play WOW, never really liked the play style, the design of the characters, and the hostility found in those mmo’s. I used to play a game called ragnarok online, and enjoyed 10 years playing there, yet it was time to move on. When I read on the playstation magazine about this game, and then looked at some youtube videos regarding this game, I knew this game would be something special. I am the adventurer type, Im not worried about extremely powerful equips or killing everyone in pvp; I just like exploring. GW2 seemed to hit the nail with the explorative maps and making the entire experience feel alive.

Now onto the point:

ANET, how do you guys cope with such negativity on the forums? I am amazed at your patience! I see children crying all the time—Mobs are too hard! Mobs are too weak! How boring! OMG why isn’t this done the way I want! weee weee Im leaving! This sucks! Ahhh, GW2 is too hard for a noob like me, or too easy for a god like me!

Anet, I just wanted to say: you guys rock, please don’t change or remove your great ideas because of what children might be saying or complaining. Theres much to improve I’m sure, but jeez loweis! this game is only 2 months old, maybe younger! Take care guys, and keep up the good work.

Sincerely;
Aden Nova

I did find the story mode dungeons a bit too hard as well… explorable is fine but story mode is the type of dungeon that helps players prepare for explorables.

Anet, you might want to consider this… the elder dragons are to be feared, not just because of difficulty, but because of the massive scope of the battle and how intimidating they can be. Difficulty should be there as well, but not because of one hit monsters, more like because it needs tons of skills to evade, survive and fight against the final boss.

Amazing, anet people are amazing!

I like it the way it is, it makes you think before you attack. I sometimes change the traits that hit multiple targets with my auto attack just so that I don’t hit passive targets on my journey.

Love the sticky note idea!

Love the idea actually, having different skins for your pets…

I love the story, and not everyone will just scroll thru it and ignore it. Im actually very interested in tyria and the dragons.

I feel bad for anet, having to go thru so much work only to hear 12 year olds complain that the story is boring…

I spent 80$ on the premium version of the game, bought their game guide (although I found it on the web hours later, for free, go figure, but i felt I WANTED to buy it because Im rich like that), bought about 100$ worth of gems, and planning on getting other weapon skins if they offer it. I got a imac 27inch with 16gb of memory, a g19 keyboard, and even took a few days of from work just to play.

Yes, this game to me is the best thing I played in years.

Dude. Please just quit. If you don’t like a game, don’t trash it, just move on.

This game is excellent. Anet people put their hearts into this and graphic wise, story wise, combat wise, everything is inspired, including the exploration in the game. I love it, and many others do, so shut up and play something else.

Thanks a lot!

Title says it all. I know it is discussed in the Black lion Trading company thingy but it doesnt fit there, is a suggestion.

Aden

ArenaNet, I love your game, but please fix the camera issues…

1- downstate camera zooms deep into the character, making it impossible to see the enemy bashing at you

2- When pressing/holding the right trigger in the mouse, the camera zooms into the character and looks up. Super frustrating when all i want to do is turn the camera around.

3- In tight spots, the camera goes crazy!

Sincerely;

Aden Celeste
