Guild Wars 2

There have been new faces once, new hairstyles twice… (wich is AWSOME)

When will there be new Horns for Charr?

I’d really love to have some new horns that goes with the new face and hairstyles and that are designed with the same ammount of love as the other things that have been added for customizing the look of u’r character.!

I managet the 6 mins as soon as it was fixed… One thing that I havnt managed though is the SPIDER… Do I have to say more…

@ OP. There is nothing wrong about the fingts (I do agree there could be less Zergfests though), but there is something REALLY wrong with the guesting system IMO. I can hardly (4 times despite playing a lot) get to my own server (Desolation) during tese events. I feel I’m getting forced to make room for all the guesters.

Its like being forced out of u’r home by foreigners so that they can take turns to live there – leaving u out!

I guess this dividion is just whet the devs have done – behind the scenes – to sort information and to make it easter to handle now while they deal with all feedback, proposals and suggestions…

If they asked US to do it… I Think ppl would have a hard time staying on topic since we started posting suggestions even one week Before the CDI was up, due to the devs delaying it. Still, they TOLD us they were about to do so… a bunch of suggestions were posted EVERYWHERE!
Ppl were just too eager to get started! Same thing would have happened if topics were divided.

OP, I agree with u! I’m being kicked out from my “home” (Desolation) by the guesters… I rarely see it. I feel more like a guest to my own home server than I guess the guesters do.

If ppl could just STAY on their home servers I bet they could get 150 peeps to do the Knights events!!!

• Home residents should ALWAYS be prioritzed Before guesters when there is a spot free from an oveflow!

• If u enter u’r home server and there is guesters on it and its full. One of the guesters would have to move (get a message like “u’ve been moved to overflow due to home-residents entering the map”) to an overflow in order to fill the server with home residents first hand!

What AMAZING suggestion is it everyone is waiting for/looking for since this thread is still open? When will it actually close and get worked on?

The face is really nice, but I agree… The cclipping is just so sad! I have one of the female new faces, wich I love, but that too has some wiered fitting/clipping issues (not as bad as u’rs though). Report it in the bug forums. I have done so.
The new Eye patch looks good and fits properly though! But I dont want it (not my style kind of thing)

I’d love to have a frosti/icy Long and short bow shooting ice Arrows!!! Would get it right away (or as fast as i could manage)!

No, u can not do that. U can only transmute gear looks of gear from the same armour class.

I dont miss it at all. One big reason I play GW2 is that there is no Trinity! I can take on any role regardless of what class I play! That is just great!

It would be awsome if u’r character were doing things (so that others can see what u are doing) when u use some of the different windows there are… It looks kind of boring from a role-playing perspective when ppl are just standing around even if they are DOING things.
This could also be a way to easier see that u’re not AFK but actually doing something.

Today ther is actully one like this… the pidgeon that comes flying when u sell/buy something from TP.

Like this;

• Inventory: U’r Character is standing sorting a backpack.

• Crafting armour (Heavy/meduim/light having same animation); Dealing with a piece of a helmet.

• Crafting weapons (all kinds); Dealing with a piece of metal, a bar or something. Hammer anvil style.

What do u Think?

Both me and my pet are very survivable and do reasonable good dmg… I have traitred for using bows and my pet.

It takes some (long) time to learn this class properly. Lern it first and then complain….
It sure need some fixes (like all classes) but it’s far from as broken as ppl say.

@ Arghore.

A dummy pet?
I still think u’r suggestion would ruing the class. So to a certain degree that I’d give up my main (wich is a ranger), that I have played from day one.

U’r suggestion would do 2 things.

1. creat unececary clutter on the screen since the dummie pet/Ranger Identification device would do nothing. It would be like having Another (bigger) mini that only rangers could have. Ppl Think the spirits clutter the screen today (despite them doing something)… and u wanna add anotehr thing that is just there cluttering up even more?

2. Ruin the bonding compeatly – since I wouldn’t actually be able to use my pet for anything. And it would go away during fight – thats where I WANT my PET, not some rubbish temporary summon.

The summoned things would just be like the Necro’s minions.

No. I DON’T want it like this.

@ Arghore…. on page 60.

Game mode: PvE

If I want to be a beastmaster (wich I do prefer) i want my pet to be able to stayby my side constantly as today… Not just for a period of time like a summon that dies/diapears.

If the pet would become a temporary summon, that would ruin the class totally IMO.

Agree…. I’m Playing feamle Charr and have to stand all the MALE coats/covering armour…. boring and sad.

Arghore

U’r suggestion on Permastowing the pets and making them utility-skills….

NO thank u. That would ruin the entire class for me.

A tip – use bodytype 3 on female charr… then most of the shouderpieces looks ok.

I have just skimmed through the last pages VERY quickly…

• DON’T remove the pet!! I play beastmaster style (and I guess a bunch of other ppl do to) because I love to have my pet companion around. Without the pet the class would be broken if anything.

• The pets need to be looked over though.

• Perhaps ther could be a way to make the optional – by putting Points in Beastmastery traitline u get a companion.

The ability to customize is actually one of the things I like very much in this game. It makes U’r caharcter uniqie and adaptable for U’r specific game style. U can Tank and u can support and u can do DMG with the same class… but u’ll have to trait/gear different to take on the different roles.

In GW2 u dont have to pick a specific class to be able to do a specific thing! Thats is good!! … as an Ele u can be either damage dealer or healer… u dont ahve to choose – and u can still play u’r favourite class!!!

This doe’s comes with the difficulty of balancing. Maybe Everything doesnt have to be PERFECTLY balanced…. I’m not even sure it CAN be with som many things that can vary.

As long as every class heve a unique mecanism (their special sthing that only they can do/have) all classes hould continue to be able to take on the different roles as it is today! That is qiute unique to GW2 (I Think)… And a very good reason I play this game (apart from some other factors such as beutiful Graphics etc – quite a list of tings actually)!

Another thing that comes with the trait-system and the gearing is that u’ll have to learn to play what u have traited/geared for. Sometimes that takes time and ppl get mad when their character cannot do what thay wish because thay have traited it wrong for the purpose/playstyle they have —--> wich leads to complaints over a “broken class” (that may not at all be broken but just not traited correctly) in the forums.

So plz – whatever u do, Don’t nerf the trait-ability/gear-ability!!! It’s one of them things that makes this game SO good!!! But sureif BALANCE it if needed, both skill-wise and trait wise.

I main ranger (since release-day)… It’s my absolute favourite class despite its “broken-ness” and all complaints it has got (sure some things can be improved but it’s not THAT broken). It’s a class that takes TIME to learn actually. Over time i have realised how much it can actually do and that is amazing! By nerfing the trait-ability/gear ability we would be back to GW1 where you HAD to have a specific class in order to do a specific thing. That would only lead to even more discrimination in dungeons/fractals etc… We “HAVE to have a healer class(most likely Guardian)” No thanks.

So, let everyone play any class they want. In a Group, let they continue to be able to take on the ROLE (still using thier favourite class – even if everyone in the Group are Theievs) theyt want.

I dont want to HAVE to be a MONK in order to heal….. kind of…

There is a reason i Play GW2 and not LoL or WoW!!!

In LA… The enviroment is challenging! That is good! U can stand on different hights, there are narrow “bottlenecks”, bridges… all sorts of thinsg that can help u – or give u a hard time! This makes the enviroment feel very real from a battle perspective!

Good job A-net – me like!

Lvl 80-90 zone? This isn’t WoW!

Meglobob… I do know what patch I’m talking abou,t it is (Believe or not) both of the two last patches wich includes “Battle for LA”!

Just because u Think one thing doesnt mean everyone think the same way u do…. Some might like it (as me) and some dont.

Thay have remade a whole map, added tons of events for all sorts of game-play (champ-farmers, World-boss-farmers, the strategics, the casual event doers, the searcher and collector, tons of rewards – where many are really good….) This one is in fact wery well thought about and there is something for everyone!

This patch is in fact very good!!

Yes I have got ERRORS (even plenty)… there are bugs… but it Always is in new patches… and they have fixed them!

Think of it again and plz don’t come and say it’s not polished and worked on.

Keep up the good work A-net!!!

And then there is the Issues for Charr…. Clipping of horns, tails and sometimes other parts as faceparts, and forearms… Then we have the removing of ears ans horns (and hair). Then we have the stretching and all tent-ish coats, The female neck (with new faces) get an ugly pointy shape….

Pls Think of horns and tails. Think of how wide our stance is… What looks SO good on humanoids might look horrible on Charr.

I have 3 female Charr – that all I have. Armour in general (with a few exceptions) is sadly a great disapointment so far in this game for my race.

Clipping should not even exist (only as a bug here and there that gets fixed) due to lazyness in design in such a modern game as this… espacially since the whole GW2 is so much about the Graphics and what u SEE (u see u’r charr’s rear end more than anything else in this game while playing thus the clipping – its not pretty).

I guess Asuras might suffer from this too…

A QoL thing about yellow targets.

There are some yelow targets that we cannot hit (using bows) – miasma canisters for example can only be hit with AoE oe melee. I keep getting “out of range” (even if its not) or “obstructed” (even if its not) in these cases. I know I have met othert targets like those… plz fix that. Same goes for our pets that cannot/refuses to attack some yellow targets.

Is this intended or simply a design flaw?

Aw… The clicking! There’s just SO much of it!!! The bags, the drawings, the luck,… U easily get 1,5 stack of those in a day… And u have to double klick Everything… then u have to doubleklick much of the content once again to use it……

Pls add a “Use all/consume all” option…

There’s just way too much crazy doubleklicking as it is right now!!! Hope this comes in the next patch as one of those QoL things… There is just enough klicking without the bags/luck/drawings…

I have already had one inflammatory reaction due to the clicking in this game….

Ryu… Just noticed this too. Fist perfectly actualy – even on the new faces! Good job A-net! Keepo that up, preferebly with all sorts of armours!

Was just wondering the same…. I have called this out on map chat seeral times… noone seems to care

To Allie!

Reading u’r summary makes me suprised (in a good way) and happy! Many of the Changes would make so much sense for me as main ranger!!! In short it would give me (as a PvE Beastmaster/bow ranger) better use of my pet, better use of my bow and a better ability to support my allies. It would also contribute to improve the “right feeling” of being a ranger if u know what i mean – and far more fun gameplay!!!

I start to feel hopeful for this one!

Thanks Allie (and the rest of u working on this as well)!!!!

In the 3 lsat patch updates I have kept getting frequent Errors kicking me out of the game and sometimes freezing my whole computer. This is – annoying as it tends to make it impossible to finish events etc…

Perhaps Scalet has gone too far this time, releasing something not even she can master and control… Maybe she’ll have to turn to and ally with us (not that I like to ally with her but still) in order to defeat whatever forces she’s released……

Leading to – We join forc.. ehrmm… SHE joins forces with us during the last patch.

When whatever it is she’s set loose is defeated/driven back, Scarlet will be put in jail or soon die from all time travelling/experimenting she’s been trough. The aetherblades will be sent back or released from their slavery being new allies to the Lionguards. The other Alliances will not be able to pose a threat when their leader is gone.

About lore/storytelling… (sorry if this is written already, havn’t checked too carefully)

In LFG there could be a checkbox for the host opening the fractal where u choose (or not choose) to “show cinematics”

This makes all party member aware of if the host want to see the cinematics up ahead or not and they can choose not to join if they’re in a hurry, (since it will be clearly stated in the LFG) – discussions/annoyment about slow players taking time looking on cinematics will be reduced.

How long will this thread be open?

The Outcome/Changes that comes of this discussion, when will they be implemented aproximatley (months? year?)

Thanks for doing this for my beloved main Ranger !

Artillery barrage (Charr Elite) is Just Useless….. I woldnt even use it if it was a utility skill… Its really that bad.

No, not that boring non-fitting nonsense again…. I love Everything else in this game – except SAB! Create something that fits to lore and story instead!

All the Little talking that goes on in Tyria… there is Always new NPC chatter to listen to. I love just Walking around listening to these Little talks and discussions going on everywhere! It makes the World come so alive!

Awsome job A-net u have done there!!! Keep it up!

Keep up the talking, the cinematics, cutscenes and Everything else that makes Tyria feel so alive and belivable!!!

Thank u for creating such an emmersive game! A true adventure where to follow Ao Kima (My main) and her friends through!!!

I came up with this idea during the LA events. What if there was a counter (that u were not aware of) counting the number of civiliand u have rescued during the LS of LA… What if there was a similar counter counting the numbers of Scarlets ppl u have killed, or the numbers of events compleated in there.

When the whole patch is over there comes a suitable reward for the deeds U have done based on the numbers and what kind of deeds u have done. (different ones for doing different things)

This makes what U do matter!

Speak of suprise when u all of a sudden get a reward after the whole thing is over.

I absolutely agree!!!

Keep the pets Condi/Power independent of the gear that the ranger has.

If Pet Condi dmg or dmg is based on the Ranger’s Equipment, It could be hard to get any condi from the pet if the pet is a condi-deliverer and the ranger is Power-equipped.
The pet is a good “Extra” of whatever kind of dmg it deals. Only make it stronger by traiting it.

1. Fix the Reward scaling so that u actuallu feel like u get rewarded for, for example personal lvl 30, when u do a lvl 5 fractal. Today that is not the case.

2. Make ascended gear salvagable. If u have few characters and get all those rings etc… u have no need for them and they only give u a few silver in case u sell them. Make them salvagable for ascended mats.

Reasons

Make ppl feel they get the right kind of reward due to their lvl despite tagging along with their friends at low lvl.

Make better use of the ascended drops if u dont need them for u’r character.

If the pet will optionally be removed there is a big risk…

The rangers that run without a pet are risking to get better than their pet-followed friends, unless the pets and how they work in form of Control and AI are geting improved so that they can balance an un-followed Ranger.

Proposal overview

Improoving the pet as a whole for the rangers.

Goal of Proposal

Making the the Ranger’s pets easier to handle. Giving them more useful functions without making it OP and fix some old annoying things that havn’t been dealt with since launch and also making the taming more interesting.

How?

• It should be possible to SEE what SKILLS the pet u have chosen, have when u hover the cursor over its portrait in the F-button-menu. Similar to the way its shown in the (K) panel, but without all the stat numbers.

• It should be possible to SEE what BOONS/CONDITIONS u’r pet suffer from. Either make it a somewhat smaller party member icon or Place the information over the pets F-keys. Parhaps the conditions/boons could show when u hover over the F-skills. (so that u dont have to search for the pet all over the screen in a mob in order to find and target it)

• Make it optional to HIDE/SHOW u’r pets NAME + GUILD-TAG. I still have the blue “edges” that shows that it’s u’rs for u… It loosk betetr IMO, reduces clutter info and is helpful in dungeons/instances etc.

• Make the PORTRAITS show the CORRECT PET and sort them by PET TYPE in the (K) – panel, Makes searching for a pet easier.

• Plz make PETS REMEMBER their NAMES!!!

• THE F2 FIRE TIMING… Either they fire instantly, causing miss (pet is not at target), not at all, or on contach with enemy. I Think the “On contact fire” one is the best in many cases. Its not uncommon though that it fires in the wrong direction. Pet AoE skills, such as howls could be fired instantly. Same for ranged attacks. Moas have both buffing and offensive skills (different target Groups). They should have AoE instead of cone attack and fire instantly like howls as they keep missing now.

• UNDERWATER F2 FIRE TIMING, the drake attacks often miss when they fire instantly instead of “on target”.

• I still get the “Charm” option if i get Close to somebody elses pet that I have not yet tamed. Plz get this fixed so that it goes away.

• U can hit all YELLOW TARGETS. Plz make the pet able to hit all yellow target that u can hit. Today it cannot.

• Pets that create Poison, chill , fire etc… could have RESISTANCE to the same ELEMENTS that they use for dmg. For example; a polar bear, could be resistant to chill. This coule be a way of protecting u’r pet in AoE instead of a pet dodge.

• Make the TAMING PROCESS more interesting. It could be a un-armed fight with the pet u’re about to tame down to 10% health Before it agrees to come with u. When u engage the “tame” option u get un-armed skills for the taming process. Bypassers cannot interact in any other way than cast healing skills upon u.
  If the pet is in a high lvl area and u are low lvl compared to the area – prepare for one tough fight.

• The PIGS F-2 skills are useless… who rushes for a bundle? Make them become muddy terrain, stunbreaker for u and allies etc instead.

• BEASTMASTER TRAITS; The traits that affect special pet Groups need to affect ALL pets. And the Bond that stacks – dont make it reset when u enter water. Sometimes u keep going in and out of water, and u get punished for that????

Associated risks

Some ppl may not like some of the new functions/changes.

Game Mode: PvE

Proposal Overviw

The F-keys for Ranger’s pets need rework;

How?

F1. “Attack” + “Return”; The pet attacksthe target u attack. the same way it works today. When pressed again it comes back to u and stays passive untill u order it to do something different. It wont attack anything that attacks u when in this mode.

F2. “Special skill”; Working as today but The timing of the fiering and the hit-ability needs to be looked over as the pet tends to miss a lot as it works today.

F3. “Defend” + “Guard"; Defend = the pet attacks whatever comes too Close to u within a radius of 600. “Guard” = The pet defends a targeted Ally (in the same way as Defend") that stays within pet range from u. If the ally wanders out of pet range the pet goes into “defend” mode instead. The mode stays Active until any other order is given.

F4. “Hide” + “Summon”; “Hide” = stowing, Works like todays stowing with the difference that the pet only comes out if u are attacked (by a creature) going into “attack” mode. Not if u take falling damage. “Summon” = calling u’r pet. When this is done it automaticly ends up in passive/return mode and wait for further orders from u.

Goal of proposal

Make pets easier to hanle nad give a few more useful functions.

Associated risks

No function is removed that is already there today, so the risks should be few I think.

Griffons

Dolphins

I have spoken to many ppl who have told they wont roll a charr because armour usually fits poorly. THAT is a very common reason why ppl don’t play charr…. U’re being left with very few good looking options compared to any humanoid race.

To A-net.

I Believe u may have made a misstake when announcing the Ranger CDI for one date and then change it not one but two times. This has caused lodas of players to post ranger suggestions everywhere, start inoficial CDI topics etc… How will u find Everything. U might miss out on some (maybe even many) good ideas by doing this.

I’m still holding on to my suggestions though… waiting – for monday.

I do very much apriciate that u’ll have a look at my main class though! Thank u for doing that!

The CDI will be up on monday from what I’ve Heard.

The Word limit may cause that u get a larger number of posts to go through. But it will on the other hand be easier to go through I Think.

My 3 (or 4) posta on the ranger is waiting for the thread to open!

Thats one of the few exceptions… I’ve had it tooo… But whatabout the rest? Look at my post again… it said “Almost”.

Saturn… I dont want to join any squad! I just wanna do my thing, see MY party members and not a thousands of commanders… If I’d join any squad, it would be anyone from my Guild most likely, not just some random to get rid of most of the tags…

Toggle off commander tags! Easy, dont have to type things every single time u enter a map…
