Guild Wars 2

It’s really pretty sad when three whole silver is “prohibitive.” If you pick up two weapons at any time while you’re there you’ve paid for the cost, not counting the income from anything else. Who actually even uses those portals, ever? Seriously?

No, it just deters you and people like you from getting rediculously wealthy for almost no effort. Boo hoo.

I’d rather dyes just unlock account wide.

Drawing Guy.3701:

Often repeated suggestion, but one change: Account bound on ACQUIRE. This should never have been a sellable item.

This

This is an absurd request. I have eight characters, I don’t have an advantage over your 1 though. Do you know why? Because you have the ability to make as many characters as you want. You made a CHOICE to only make one character and to run with that character exclusively.

What’s more, you cite guesting as a way to get to multiple instances of the event in a short period of time. Well this works two ways. Every instance of a zone is a unique occurance of that zone. That means that a person that has only one character can take advantage of the same exploit, and it is an exploit. If you do an event with your one character and get the chest you can then guest to another server and do it again AND get the chest again. Based on the number of “Change Guesting Rules” threads this is happening regularly.

This is what needs to be changed, not the design of events simply because you chose to make only one character.

I haven’t verified it either, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t reset when everything else in the game resets. It seems rather strange that they would have a different set up for event chests like that, when all other chests do.

It doesn’t matter how many times you bring this up. This is something that ANet have specifically pointed out that they concidered but abandoned because it wasn’t how they wanted to present the game. You are the good guy, end of story. If you want to be anything other than the good guy you’re simply not going to be able to represent it through game story. It’s not going to happen.

Better suggestion. Stop leaving things to the last moment. ANet isn’t responsible for the level of your time management skills.

I don’t see any reason to separate them, I just want the ability to define the number of things being actively tracked for acheivements. Rather than limit it to 5 and the next one I check will uncheck the oldest one previous checked, just keep adding things to the list. If I exceed my visual space let me scroll through them. It’s my screen, let me do what I want with it.

Yes, this would be very useful

Astra.4021:

They should remove DR entirely. It hurts legitimate farmers like myself and it does not get rid of botters. I report several everyday in Darkhaven. BTW- I keep the botters on my friends list and report them everyday but even after more than a week they are still there botting away. :/ Maybe Anet should get their priorities straight and focus on removing the botters.

See, I don’t think they like “legitimate farmers” any more than they like botters. They don’t want you to farm dungeons in the first place.

Kuldebar.1897:

Kal Spiro.9745:

I will make the assumption that you are new, and therefore forgive your not knowing and say welcome. For the rest of us this has been a simple fact since launch so it stands to reason that it would work this way.

It’s asinine. At the very least let us display the actually game server time which appears to be GMT. When my server time is 4 PM, I have no reason to expect it to be reset at 4 PM. Midnight is the customary time for rollovers. Allowing us to at least display GMT in game might alleviate the stupidity of the system, it is entirely unintuitive at the moment.

WTF have just server time or local time as an option if it means absolutely diddly squat for the players?

I don’t care if ANet uses Mars local time for timing its resets or has done so since the Eisenhower Era, I just want to be able to have it on my mini-map because local server time means absolutely nothing.

emikochan.8504:

It’s best to do things before the last minute, in all areas of life.

Yes, because games are like life and should be just as frustrating, right?

I could concider agreeing if it weren’t for the fact that the server has reset at the exact same time every single day since the very first. As such, if you haven’t gotten the hang of it by now… That’s really not ANet’s fault.

I will make the assumption that you are new, and therefore forgive your not knowing and say welcome. For the rest of us this has been a simple fact since launch so it stands to reason that it would work this way.

Kuldebar.1897:

Umm, the level cap will be raised in expansions

Will it? Why? Would that be benefitial to the game concidering its current level design? Their last game never did.

Lord Trejgon.2809:

Trollhammer.7439:

Should run slower while weapon is drawn instead.

that would make sense on me… – if only “auto-drawn-when-my-pet-get-hit” system would be disabled….

It’s called, hit F3 to tell your pet not to retaliate because you don’t enter combat just because your pet got hit. You enter combat when your pet attacks.

BrotherBelial.3094:

frostflare.6390:

I actually belive the current system should stay. It’s perfect for people who have lots of money, time, and can just sell there souls for them. I on the other hand don’t. Ohh and i buy gems by the way, becuase I like to help anet out.

Im simply stating, let there be an alternative. EVEN obi armor was not that much of a grind. It at most took a few weeks of minmial farming. DR means anet doesnt want us to farm-and yet the most majestic weapons in the game REQUIRE FARMING. Seriolsy anet, can you produce anymore of a catch 22? I’m doomed if i try to go for it, and if I don’t im also doomed to never have anything worthwhile. Legendaires are also required to a point. They will never be the weaker weapon, anet intends to make them the “Highest OUtput” always. And from the track record, we will be getting alot of new gear levels in the future. Your exotics will be trash by the end of next year.

I hope your wrong about exotics being trash, if this game turners into a gear treadmill like WoW, I’m out now. I’ve no interest in playing a, “if you stop playing you will fall behind” game. I want to work for a legendary. I just want that work to be fun. Is that too much to ask?

I’m still running around with level 70 gear. This game has never been all about the gear. People make it that way generally because they’re small minded and can’t grasp the insignificant effect it has on your ability to function. I pretty much guarantee I have worse gear than my group when I do dungeons, but I am always the most survivable. And people say Rangers aren’t any good.

Fred Fargone.3127:

Actually, the stats the weapon has will only be applied when you hit with that weapon.
So if you have +5% to accuracy from the sigil for example on your offhand weapon, you don’t get the accuracy bonus while hitting on the mainhand weapon.

This is not true. While some may, not all/most don’t. Like Bloodlust/Corruption. Every time you kill a mob, no matter what you kill them with, you don’t even have to hit them with a weapon if you have another way, you get a stack. As a ranger I get stacks from letting my pets kill things just by having the weapon equipped.

This is still a simple solution. You make Primary and Secondary Sigils. A Secondary Sigil can be placed in a Primary Sigil slot, but a Primary Sigil can’t be placed in a Secondary Sigil slot. All single handed weapons have one Primary Sigil slot. Two handed weapons have one Primary Sigil slot and one Secondary Sigil slot. Primary Sigils are defined as Sigils whose effect only occur for the weapon they are attached to. Secondary Sigils are defined as those whose effects occur regardless of the weapon used at that moment.

I didn’t realize Alliances needed a case to be made. It seems pretty self explanitory and to be a good idea.

Capes are a problem, unfortunately. Capes were meant to be a thing at launch but were removed due to clipping issues that it seems they have not resolved.

This seems like a general misunderstanding of what these powers are meant for.

Montu.5139:

I would like to suggest an instance timer for when finishing a dungeon. Am suggesting this because I’m encountering (more than once) players who leave the party as soon kitten he grabs the last chest, kicking everyone out regardless if they have picked it up or not.

The timer should work similar to the one in Guild Wars Eye of the North, meaning as soon as the first person open the chest a timer of 2 minutes starts. When the timer ends everyone will be kicked out.

So I was right there with you until the end. I don’t see how that solves the problem. A better solution is, after the group leader leaves a timer of two minutes starts giving anyone remaining that much time to finish up and leave.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Irrelevant, it’s still incredibly annoying and makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense, they don’t want you running through areas full of mobs just ignoring the mobs. The same with WvW, they don’t want you flying through a crowd of enemies pretending you’re not there. I don’t know if you noticed, but this is actually a combat game. If you want to stay out of combat don’t be in the world. If you’re in the world be prepared for the posibility of combat occuring.

Vinny.6924:

Ouroboros.5076:

Vinny.6924:

They aren’t working fine because nothing in the pve daily gives you wvw rewards.

Im specifically badges and siege, something people use in WvW.

Laurels & gold ?

Laurel conversion to siege is a joke. Ill burn through 2-3 dailies worth of laurels to take one fortified tower.

Completely missing the point here. PvE is NOT WvW.

This is correct. But WvW is, in fact, PvE. As it turns out.

Anwar.2018:

sheesh..some mean-spirited folks here, guess I was acting uppity to use YOUR forums, but didn’t start this game until after christmas and am leveling 5 chars slowly. At this rate I’ll hit 80 about the time I get enough laurels.

I almost ended with this very statement, which would probably be the perfect situation. The only reason I didn’t was because I didn’t know the actual situation you were in, and it’s possible to level a single character to 80 in very little time if you’re dedicated to just that.

Since you have no need for the expensive items until you reach 80 anyway, and no way to use them, this would actually be an ideal situation, so I don’t see the problem.

This sounds like it could be very cool and would make huge strides toward making the world seem alive, since it actually would be. Things wouldn’t just randomly happen, they would be occuring.

ProxyDamage.9826:

SteepledHat.1345:

You make them buyable and suddenly every low level fractal player grinds them out. They’d be everywhere.

Ok, I gotta be “that guy” here: Who gives a kitten? You should be concerned about how you acquire it, not anyone else. How do other people’s weapon choice affect your own? Are you one of those vacuous “jet-set” cows to whom someone else wearing the same dress to a party is a life changing trauma? Cause those are the people that don’t acquire things because they like them, but because they feel small and impotent, and see in these items a vicarious path to some sort of relevance: “Look at the thing I have and you don’t! Aren’t you jealous of the thing? Doesn’t matter what the thing is! It could be an aeroplane or a fresh kitten It only matters that I have it, and you don’t!”. That is one kittening sad way to just drag on existence in my book…

I’m sorry, and maybe I’m the weirdo here, but this is an argument I hear all the time for various things and I just don’t get it. I pick these skins based on whether or not I like them. If I like them I’ll like them just as much whether they’re 5 cooper a piece and everyone has one or if they’re legendary, worth 5k gold, and I’m one of only 4 people with them. The visual and aesthetic properties I found pleasing don’t change in any way based on whether more or less people own the item…

If you have a legitimate argument I’m ready to hear it. If your argument is “because I don’t want other people to have it too!” then I couldn’t give less of a kitten and I can only hope that’s the kind of kitten that’s never even remotely considered during the game’s development.

So I don’t know if this counts as a legitimate argument or not, but it isn’t exclusively an, “I have it and you don’t, ha ha ha,” situation. I don’t do Fractals nearly as much as I’d like, and I don’t have one of these things. I don’t even know what they look like and am not personally seeking them, so we can get that out of the way. I have a Wolfborn Bow. It’s a Norn racial weapon, on my human. Absolutely anyone can get them, but very few do. I adore it, I think it’s beautiful, but I am also very proud of it because it’s exceptionally rare to see one. In all the time I’ve played I’ve only seen one other and very recently. When I saw it, though, I couldn’t help but feel it diminished my uniqueness, like it could become a fad and suddenly I was just another in the crowd.

I think in some respects that may be part of the mentality of people not wanting others to gain something easily. They feel unique now and don’t want to let go of that feeling, which they will lose if everyone can have the thing they have. Which is probably just the other side of the coin of feeling better that they have what others don’t.

I’ll throw in that this entire argument IS, in fact, on topic because of the last line of the OP. In case anyone wants to get into it again. I mean honestly there isn’t a need to even post about the first part. He’s absolutely right, there should automatically be a pop up for anything rare or higher. That is a bug and it needs to be fixed.

Gallen Muur.2487:

I think Karma should not be a currency at all. It should be what it is Karma basically a luck factor. You gain Karma for doing deeds and the like and loose Karma for dyeing or failing an event. If you have high karma it should help anything that is considered to be a random effect and or drop. Naturally there would be a cap on how much Karma you could have.

Concider it reputation then, it doesn’t matter. it is what it is and what it is, currently, is completely different than what you’re talking about.

Andalamar.4201:

The solution to this issue is to make it so Dragon and World Event chest timers are bound to your character (or account, depending on what ANet wants to do) and this bind would follow the character everywhere it went until it resets, either 24 hours later or at the daily reset time.

This would automatically fix the constant jumping some players do in an attempt to maximize their “rewards” from events.

Perfect solution +1

Is this a request for raids? I’m confused.

I have a Flamethrower build and I haven’t had any issues. FT is crazy mobile if you have any idea how to move your mouse. I’m constantly running around things burning them to death and I do pleanty of damage. I’m so happy they fixed the napalm, the was the only really issue I ever had with FT. The burning buff with air blast is sweet too.

Excursion.9752:

Side note: this could help cure some of the new high priced laurel items we have on the vendors currently.

your thoughts?

I especially like this last part, which seems to suggest that the pricing is something they want to “cure.” As if it were somehow an accident and they didn’t mean for it to be expensive.

I am all for finding ways to make Story mode more interesting, but I tend to suspect this is not the way.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

I can understand it in WvW, but not PvE. There is such a thing called “retreat”, we shouldn’t be penalized for doing that.

Glint herself once told us: “It would be a shame if the end of the human race came about simply because you do not know when you are overmatched.”

Well I do know when I’m overmatched. There’s a time to stand your ground and a time to retreat.

And mobs usually give up on chasing you after a short while.

+1 You can buy influence with money, there is no reason wy you shouldn’t be able to buy it with a reputation. You’re effectively saying, “All those good things I did for the community, you can expect the same thing from this guild I’m in.”

It’s a completely reasonable thing, and it gives us something to do with all the Karma we have lying around.

Ok, so having read the rest of the argument/discussion, everything else about this suggestion isn’t good. Just let us buy Influence with Karma like we already can with Gold. No more needed than that.

Anwar.2018:

Please make monthlies doable by newer and casual players. I’ve done all the soloable requirements but one for this month and haven’t even seen a dungeon so I assume that group play doesn’t kick in for a while… heh, today’s the last day and I’m out of luck….but just doing dailies will take forever to get enough to get something….but I’m enjoying doing them and usually have enough time to complete the dailies.

It seems like it would be good business to allow flexibility for this one system so it is doable by solos and casuals…always better to keep as many as long as you can. I accept that since you’re going hardcore, the casual’s days are numbered, but that would maybe keep a few a lot longer.

So wait, I want to get this straight. You’re too low level to do dungeons, meaning under level 30, but you need to get the monthly done in order to get cool stuff? The only thing you get from Dailies and Monthlies that makes a difference is Laurels. The only thing you can get with Laurels that takes a significant amount of time to obtain are Ascended Gear, and Ascended Gear is level 80 exclusively. Anything else you can get in a week of dailies.

What exactly is it that you need? Just play the game and don’t worry about the Monthly, it doesn’t make that huge a difference if you miss it.

If you can’t escape anyway you shouldn’t escape. That is the risk you take for being in WvW. Sometimes people kill you.

crystal.5930:

Kal Spiro.9745:

The only question I have is, what exactly is the effect on the community for these people whose only apparent interest is wandering from event to event? Does it hurt anyone?

Regarding the idea of selling invites for coin, yeah, I also had that thought. I think it would happen, but I doubt that everyone who currently now chases events across servers would be willing to pay for that, so I’d still expect to see some decrease in the behavior. Or perhaps they’d shop for the cheapest price, in which case I guess I’d just have to hope my server wasn’t offering it.

I don’t think that behavior would last, because I suspect it wouldn’t be long before people were doing it for free.

It seems to me that the only really legit reason to kick someone is AFK/Disconnected. So it should be simple. Make Kick start up someones drop from game timer at like 10 seconds. So they have 10 seconds to prove they’re still there. If they’re AFK or Disconnected they won’t be able to and it will remove them from the group, if they are actively participating in the fight it won’t work.

Wow… So I’m EST. I usually get home around 5:30. You know what I figured out? There is an hour and a half before roll over that I can work with OR I can get it done after 7.

It’s very very simple. Doing Dailies or not doing Dailies is a choice you make. If you are prioratizing other things instead then that is not ANet’s problem. You either care enough to get it done in the time you have, or you do not. Since it happens at the exact same time every single day it is something that you can easily schedule your other commitments around, if necessary.

All of that aside, yes, it should reset Midnight local time. There should not be leeway, however, because that’s silly.

Ok, so the problem is, you may have spent 3 silver, at most, to waypoint into a zone, but you aren’t getting to participate in the event that you spent that pittance on. Therefore… what? Go kill some stuff, find a different event, make the money back in five minutes and move on.

If waypointing is breaking your bank, you’re doing something wrong.

Nels the Cornwhisperer.8025:

If it required an invite, I’d just start inviting people for a minor amount of coin in the mail.

Not only would you have hypothetically screwed well-meaning people like alfista, while giving ill-meaning people like me a way to cause the same issue we have now, and gain money from it.

This is pretty much where I was going to go with it. If guilds on servers would set up invites for people who want to have a look around, why would anyone not expect the same behavior for those who want to continue as is? It wouldn’t stop anything, it would only change the method by which it is accomplished.

The only question I have is, what exactly is the effect on the community for these people whose only apparent interest is wandering from event to event? Does it hurt anyone?

Further proof that you absolutely can’t please everyone. Even fixing the game and removing actual bugs upsets someone.

Runiir.6425:

Seriously the “story steps” daily needs to be a single green dot, no more. Even if that dot is only talking to one person, it should count.
Use the mystic forge 5 times? How about get rid of that daily entirely, people HATE rng…stop trying to force it down our throats. The RNG aspect in the legendary already has most the pve population hating ANet.
The “group events” daily…lose it…ALL events are group events, just stop trying to gate us already.

10 options a day? no. Give every bloody option that can ever be use din a daily and allow US to choose what we want to do day after day. Put all of them up. all 20 or 30 that you have. It’s rediculous to force players through things when the manifesto and the tag line for this game was “play how you want”.

You get that this was for those people that were already using the mystic forge regularly, right?

Seriously, people can’t be happy. It doesn’t matter how many they give us, someone would find something to complain about.

That’s just the thing, who’s to say it doesn’t help? It does just fine for me. If it doesn’t work for you there are plenty of others, maybe one of those would. I want it to even out my Power along with my Bloodlust Sigil since I’m using Cleric to buff Healing Power. I chose it over the other +Power sets for the number 6. The lifesteal is just extra to me, and I don’t care about it.

You would probably be happier with a different Rune set anyway since you want to stack Precision.

I don’t give up anything for it. I wanted it from the start just the way it is.

The main thing I’m seeing is basically what you want is, close to, every third time I hit someone, get hit by someone and crit someone I should steal their life. Making the rune set and sigil as a close second to heal by doing sigils, yes? That sounds significantly more powerful than they want it to be.

Also, Vampirism gives Power, not Precision, which is why I use it at all. I definately don’t want that to change.

- Advanced blocking, for emote spamming and/or roleplay trolling.
Is /ignore not enough?

As most RPers do their roleplaying through emotes and the /ignore function doesn’t actually block emotes from blocked users at all, then no.

As it stands, if I was to block someone, they could still harass me using emotes and I would still see a load of emote spam in my chat window.

Having not actually ignored anyone who wasn’t talking through main, and one guy who told me to stop disagreeing with his suggestion here through a tell, I didn’t realize that. That is extremely stupid. /ignore should block all communication of any kind from that person. So yes, fix that.

MasterGeese.4756:

Hang on, why was the OP infracted? He’s just stating his long list of Suggestions for GW2, and dozens of people have done the EXACT same thing for no penalty. Can we get an official response on this? Because if we can’t make suggestions in the suggestion forum, might as well close the entire section.

What exactly are we talking about?

When did this become Age of Conan?

No to turning off more gear, yes to providing more styles that can accomodate these desired looks.

Fatum.5430:

I’v sat outside CoF for 3 days and saw 2 groups… define “all the time”

All the time means constantly. It is rare to be unable to get a group, as long as you are looking for them across all servers and not just yours.

I use it for more power, and the occational bonus health which I assume is buffed pretty well since I stack healing power, and the final ability. I don’t really know that 25% would be a better save my kitten limit than 10% and I want it to save my kitten.

Yeesh that’s a long list. Mostly agree, some are silly and others need more explaination. But I can’t +1 the whole thing for the ones I don’t agree with.

Verminious.3492:

ArenaNet.

Here’s everything that can be improved on Guildwars and would make it fundamentally more enjoyable for a lot of players.

- A custom channel system, with a password function for cross-guild/cross-party usage.
Yes
- A Guild management system which makes managing easier, for an example a “Last time logged in” tab option.
Last time representing. Being logged in doesn’t mean anything if they’re representing a different guild
- A dueling option. (Because really, why not?)
Yes
- A trading option. (Trusting items and money trough mail with guildmates make a common cause of drama.)
Yes, it’s cool that they apparently want all sales through BLTC, but really? Be fair
- Being able to wear lower armor types than your class. (Because light armors look kitten good.)
Can’t support this
- A Guild Merit system designed for smaller guilds which don’t have the influence.
This need more explaination
- A nickname system which does not wipe all nicknames every-time the game is updated.
Yes
- More animated emotes, such as sittable chairs, sleepable beds, the halloween event emotes, a drinking and eating (one that doesn’t look like fisting your own mouth) emote and even more and different dance emotes.
Yes
- Fixing the long asura ears which are folded to the inside or horribly deformed and/or out of proportion. (Also known as Ear Option #5)
Some people like this, it should be up to individuals to choose
- An unlimited fine transmutation stone for the Black Lion chests.
This will never happen
- Capes. (Seriously, why are there none? Guild capes would be so awesome.)
There are a huge number of clipping issues with capes, which is why they didn’t happen in the first place. They were supposed to
- More cultural outfits, and hopefully less pricy as the ones currently available. (Also, lowering the prices on those would be appreciated)
I would like more outfits in general, not just more outfits restricted to race
- Un-nerfing the currently crappy Ash Legion Spy Kit. (We need it. It’s a huge disappointment for the more committed PvE and Dungeon players. It is also to me personally for it was a good roleplay ability.)
The ability to stealth indefinately was increadibly broken, which is why it was changed in the first place
- Removing or softening down the diminishing returns loot system.
This will probably happen, and go back and forth as they continue to work on things and get them to work they want around those that are trying to exploit the systems
- An actual full explanation on the magic find and loot system.
Yes please
- A first person view for us people who love taking high-quality screenshots without our character on screen and people with extremely spasming camera’s during jump puzzles.
Zoom in and emote sleep, your character will conveniently slip out of the shot, can’t help with the puzzles, but I find looking directly down is more useful than looking forward anyway
- The promised-but-still-not-provided guildhalls with guesting.
Yes
- A transmutable back slot, for the engineers out there who love the Universal Multitool Pack too much.
Options for all Engineer Kits so that we can have more than one look
- A Character name-change function.
Meh
- Mini equipment slots. (For the people who love to have their favorite mini with them without the fear of sending them back to the bank when they use the “Deposit all collectables function”. / Not having to buy a Safe/hidden backpack.")
Yes yes a million times yes
- Your owned dye spectrum on previewing armor option.
reasonable
- Making the Piken Square and the Tarnished Coast servers “Official” roleplay servers.
NO NO NO, Never official. Official is the death of RP, because then the jerks know where to go. Only through community decision and Unofficial status do proper RP servers come about. Give it to Piken Square if he insists but leave Tarnished Coast out of it
- Mounts. (Because like every guildmember agreed to this idea.)
Why? Seriously. What can you possibly do with Mounts at all that can’t be accomplished already and more effectively with WPs. Mounts server no purpose in this game
- An item in the Black Lion Chest that grants permanent free waypoint travel on the account.
Never happen
- Advanced blocking, for emote spamming and/or roleplay trolling.
Is /ignore not enough?
- Joining a PvP match on the same side with people in your party. (Disregard this matter on free-tournements.)
shrug
