I imagine this idea won’t be very popular, but I’ll put it here anyway. During the party at the end of the game I'd like to suggest licencing "Wake Me Up" by Avicii, because I played it when the credits started rolling and it went really well with the situation.
I know GW2 music is supposed to be relevant to the theme, but in some games they use licenced songs that really set the mood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4V8kfb79TI
Wake Me Up seems to do that quite well.
PS: something alot of people seem to forget here, any kind of dance suggestion needs a fitting race for it..not all races can basically do such kind of choreohraphies due to their anatomies.. i basically for example can’t think of any charr or norn doing something like that applause choreo from lady gaga xD..imo its anyway far over the top …
Dances for GW2 must be something short, and they must be fittign for specific races.
All dances in GW2 are assigned to specific races and the genders.
How do dance vol.1 doesn’t have different dances for each race; it has three dances that all races share, so there doesn’t need to be any race specific ones in vol.2, also do you like my suggestion? It’s short (just looped for 15 mins) and I find it hilarious. =P

What do you guys think is a good fix for town clothes (aside from “Make them usable in combat” as everyone suggests all the time).
Maybe if you’re dressed like a dapper chapper Npcs react to you differently? =P
You could be all inconspicuous, or get discounts. I know wearing town clothes gives you a speed boost.

I took me a while to realise that when people talk about mounts they’re referring to things like horses or moas. Whenever somebody says ‘mounts’ I instantly think of a Harley . I don’t know why.

If Arenanet ever reads this that would be awesome, if they ever add it in: AWESOME, but anyways, since there are no activities in the black citadel I’d like to suggest two mini games for it. 2 action RPG style missions, the first being:
Adamant Assault:
Five Adamant guards (1-5 players. If less than five players are present they’re replaced by an NPC) are tasked with completing a randomly picked objective.
The assault takes place in either:
-The Hero’s Canton or
-The Gladium’s Canton
The first stage of the mission will be to fight to the objective against flame legion or charr bandits. Once at the AO the objective will either be to
-Disarm a bomb
-rescue a VIP
-rescue hostages
-search for intel
The main objective will be carried out by one player while the others fight off waves of enemies. Once the objective is complete the fireteam will need to fight their way back out again.
Successful completion of Adamant Assault 10 times earns the title ‘Honorary Adamant Guard’. (Just ‘Adamant Guard’ if player is Iron Legion charr)
At the end of each assault the player receives charr related loot.
Desperate measures:
Two ‘charr tank’ operators (If less than two players are present empty slot is replaced with NPC) have to defend the streets of the citadel from an ascalonian invasion. Their tanks will move from the north to east gates (scripted movement) and fire upon invading ascalonians, supported by an infantry warband.
The tanks have five abilities:
Skill 1- rotate cannon left
Skill 2- Fire APFSDS round (Hold button to adjust power)
Skill 3- Fire Incendiary round (Hold button to adjust power)
Skill 4- Fire Flechette round (Hold button to adjust power)
Skill 5- rotate cannon right
Ascalonians will attempt to destroy the tanks. If they succeed the player will spawn outside the tank with a cripple debuff (for duration of round), and will have to fight using their ordinary weapons.
Players win if they: Successfully fight off ascalonians for duration of round (2-4 mins)
Players loose if: -Both player’s tanks are destroyed and are killed.
-20 Ascalonians make it to the Core.
After successfully completing Desperate Measures 10 times the player receives the title ‘Tank operator’.
At the end of each set (three rounds) the player receives charr related loot.
That’s all for now. I may edit it later.
Tell me what you think. I imagine some of you are not going to like my mini game ideas at all; with good reason.

In the contacts menu you can set your status to LFG. It puts you on a list (in the contacts menu) that everyone in the map can see.
Yeah, but it doesn’t tell you what they want to group for. Is it to… Get a skill point? Farm for something? Lonely and want company? Area completion? Yeah, I know you could ask. And really, how many times have you asked someone what they wanted when you saw that? I know I never do. And you have to actually see them. A Guild Wars 1 LFG, which showed up as a panel with a description of what was wanted and how many are already in the group would be more useful.
Oh okay, the GW1 LFG does sound more useful.

There’s really no need for the hostile responses guys. This is the suggestions forum, and people should feel free to make suggestions without being attacked, however I do understand people shouldn’t make multiple threads for mounts, as there already are alot.

I just like throwing random ideas at them in the hopes a few stick. My end goal is to get my asuran characters moa mounts. I don’t carry what the anti-mount people say, that would be comedy gold right there. After saddling up a charr of course.
I 100% agree we should be able to dye our underclothing and have some influence over weapon colors.

If they added this, they will force titles upon you based on stats you needed.
Rather destroying the purpose of the titles.
This also creates yet another vertical progressiont hat is not needed int he game.
Want to see how this idea trashed a game? Go look at Aion. Everyone from any given class always used the same title while in pvp. Then you had the go-to farming title, the long distance running title…titles became a meaningless stat boost that everyone had to have just to get that extra one up over those who didn’t have them.
That’s a good point.

If you’re in combat and you do a roll your character draws his weapon on finishing the roll, and if you fall off a cliff. Equally as annoying is your character auto stowing his weapon after a short amount of time, there should be an option to disable auto draw and an option to disable auto stow.

Personally I think receiving the title is reward enough, but I’d be more than happy if they did add this in, although easier to get titles would be nice.

Admittedly I use the terms “mounts” and “vehicles” as the same thing; when I say mounts I mean Charr tanks or motorcycles though.
Airships although awesome are unlikely (considering Anet said they think that flying stuff would take away from the scale of the game).
Boats would be cool, as well as subs.
Most important to me though is Charr vehicles, I’d like to use them wherever I like(PvE or WvW), just not in cities, or Anet could add new vehicle specific maps with wide cobble roads and open terrain (would be cool to see mechanised warfare)

Here is one nobody ever thinks of……Cosmetic or Traditional matters not…just give the mounts some skills while they are participating…they could have a race tracks all over to race the mounts. There is already one racetrack in LA.
Kinda like RollerBeetle Racing from GW 1, but with skills that would benefit whatever mount you was riding. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Rollerbeetle_Race
Maybe even make them have costume skills so you can battle with them or
possibly reward costume brawl points for wins in a race. Just don’t introduce a new token as a reward, use one of the already in place tokens or commendations or something like that.
Hows that for something new?
I for one wasn’t suggesting that (their own skill sets) because I thought it might be less popular with those who don’t want mounts. I dunno though, perhaps I’m wrong.
+ I’d love to race Charr tanks or motorcycles in the black Citadels underground race track. =P

Same, more fluff is always good. It gives you something to do beside fighting.
As for artists, what about musical instruments ? Have them crafted or maybe bought from NPC, and equiped like a weapon. Buttons 1-5 would do different notes and you could have flute, medieval guitar, drum etc. so a group of players could start a gig ^^
And to avoid trolls, add a simple “mute musical instruments” in the sound menu (or an option to mute individual player).

I’ve decided I don’t really like that way Charr hold rifles when they’re walking, running or jogging(running whilst in combat stance). They hold the rifles one handed by their hip and it just looks a bit silly (running towards a target, aiming it up, but my gun is by my hip), I’d prefer they held the rifles like Humans (two handed, buttstock in arm pointed downwards), or even better if they always held the gun in their shoulder, horizontal; whilst idle, walking and jogging, and when running held the gun two handed facing upwards vertically. =)
Edit: I’ve also noticed when holding things like feed or a bucket the character looks where you drag the mouse while idle. I would be cool if the player did this when holding a gun; their character aims where they drag the mouse. Possibly with other weapons to.

I suggested a weapon on this thread that could work as a new weapon or skin (with it’s own animations): https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/More-Weapons/first#post1724970 =)
The player would constantly hold the weapon horizontal aswell (idle, walking, jogging, shooting), rather than holding it next to their side, or pointing down, except whilst running( not in combat ) the player would hold it up vertically.

Could people stop please writing such nonsense about mounts ? lol seriously..
What in the name of god would be the god **** sense of having mounts at all, when you wouldn’t be faster with them, than just normally running or at least same as fast like “magical” perma sprinting, which is also up to 33% faster than normal running.
Pointless aesthetic things, like emotes, for example, just make the games funner; it makes it feel like it’s got a higher degree of interactivity; making it more immersive, not to mention in terms of transport I think it’s a psychological thing: e.g. while housing allow a safe place to live, transport allows a person to travel without having to use up energy they would rather use to find food(well in this day and age finding food is called shopping). I assume this also translates into games as well, hence why alot of people who play GW2 would like the addition of houses as well as mounts. =)

I’d like to see a rice hat in the gem store, I think it would look cool; especially on Charr. Possibly a Chinese style jacket to(Obviously not referred to as “Chinese” in game).
(+Add the town clothes currently only available to NPCs in the gem store to, whilst you’re at it ,as other people have said =P) One NPCs shirt in particular would go well with the rice hat, don’t have a picture though(the NPC that nags Karris Quickcalm about pickled eggs)

it’s an RPG so it should be shoulder mounted (the concept art for the weapon is even shoulder mounted: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/2/29/Charr_Cannoneer_concept_art.jpg),
and the projectiles should look like rocket propelled shells (with no warhead since the rifle rounds don’t explode).

Today guns are preferred over bows due to;
-their small size (mobility, conceal ability),
-small ammunition (you can carry alot more),
-bullets travel faster(usually somewhere around 800 fps),
-you can get alot more rounds in the air faster,
- and are alot more accurate at longer distances etc…
However: it took time to get there; I agree with PopeUrban; the idea that it’s a “transition phase” seems like a smart one.
Whenever someone comes up with a new idea everyone else usually thinks the person is a bit of a nutter, or don’t like change (like the reputation US army had for refusing new faster firing weapons (according to some documentaries), or physicians refusal of new medical theories back in the medieval ages)

Lewis gun [warrior skill set] (could work as just a skin for rifle with it’s own animations, or a new weapon)
Acts similarly to the rifle but it fires a 2-3 round burst for bleeding shot*,
-1 shot for “aimed shot” (<--funnily enough he hip fires ),
-17 round burst for volley* (*at a cycle rate of 510 round per min (thats around 2 seconds(same amount of time as the rifle takes to fire 5 shots))).
-brutal shot the same,
-rifle but the same,
-and burst(haven’t calculated yet) for kill shot).
The reason why this could either be a skin or new weapon is:
-As a weapon: each shot does less damage, making the gun better at “crowd control” or “supressing”.
-I assume you’re not interested in why it would work well as a skin, since this is about new weapons.
Oh and don’t worry it’s not you’re typical machine gun (because I know you’ll think it wouldn’t fit the game’s theme, and you’re right), the lewis gun is very exotic for a light machine gun ,and could make a good charr style weapon. Edit: There is actually a HMG in guildwars 2 so it’s not that unusual. http://dietpepsi1997.deviantart.com/art/Chi-Sporting-the-ILWSW-1-Pencil-Finished-357097447?q=gallery%3Adietpepsi1997&qo=0

I’m always a huge fan of pointless stuff that just adds aesthetically, i can’t think of any of my own suggestions off the top of my head, but an example of what i consider pointless but cool is emotes, an MMO without emotes is incomplete (the more emotes the better!). Prehaps something for artists?; the guild logo creator isn’t exactly very satisfying. On the contrary useful camp sites/ cooking spits would be cool.

I reckon you should be able to wear them in combat, but the armour doesn’t take effect(since your’e not wearing it). It’s a trade off; you get to look like a citizen or wear the cool hoodie, but aren’t as effective in combat. Be good for people who want a challenge, and if it has it’s own skill set, then you simply can’t use it in combat.

Asking people should be encouraged. Half the time I have to guess what some one wants to know, because they just don’t ask in chat. I’m not for or against the inspect idea though. Also, is saying Kitten something running on this forum, or is there a mechanic in-place that replaces cursing with Kitten?

I wanna activities e.g. For the black citadel:
-race tanks in the underground race track; you v.s. other players and you can ram them off the track, or use the auto-cannon to blow them up,
-or “adamant survival” where you play as an adamant guard (if not charr “honourary adamant guard”) and try to survive waves of hostile charr .
Any adamant guard type law enforcing mission in the citadel would be cool.
I like the idea of having my own house. although wouldn’t you have to add a new district acting like a single-player/party instance(except multi-player); but multiple of them with X amount of people assigned to them?

And all of them are so desperately drowned under a ridiculous sh#t ton of make up. If only they had made make up an option equivalent to beard on men, so that we could choose not to have it !
Anyway, I’d be much more interested in those human male faces that we see on NPCs but not in character creation. Now these would actually bring some diversity with their wrinkles and not-so-ridiculously-clean-and-ultra-handsome look. These female faces above all look so similar it’s depressing. Character creation needs more diversity and “honesty” in its representation of humans, people have been saying that since what… the first gamescom demo ?
I hate the female human faces; “someone’s had too much plastic surgery”

I can sit on chairs just fine. Also more emotes would be nice, but I’m thinking along the lines of physical ones like “talk” (NPCs appear to have a talk animation, but not players), “shiver”( possibly more emotes from GW?), or shout emotes (the player shouting being the physical part) like “Hostile contact”, “Help”, “Fall back”, “defend @” (@ being the allie you want to defend. Of course the player wouldn’t say the name of the allie; possibly just say “Defend this allie”) etc… , also those speech bubble emotes sound like a cool idea.
