Guild Wars 2

I never use the shield, it just bugs me. I agree that 4 isn’t sensible for it, and the bubble is great except it moves my target out of range of my sword, and inhibits me from fighting. If the bubble moved everyone BUT my target, I would love it.

This would be great to have added to the map

I haven’t played GW1 so I don’t know about the Missions, but the comment on grouping is spot on. I play with my wife on my main toon, and a group of 2 is vastly different from when I play a solo alt. And when I try to group so that we can just keep playing with less down time (MUCH less down time then previous MMO’s, but still way more then when there is a group) no one is interested. And sure, I run into an area where I am killing stuff, and someone else come in, and I kill stuff with this stranger, but then I attack a mob, and they other player, having finished his heart or whatever, is gone, and I started a fight I can’t win. It is not as reliable as a group working together.

I don’t know the fix, but something needs to make groups more worthwhile. Maybe a new type of currency earned when in a group, to buy a non-essential thing?

Or at least when you enter a name and it is acceptable, have there be a “Confirm?” step before you’re done.
