Guild Wars 2

Several things for the UI. No, no MOD please.

UI:
• Allow movement of UI elements. i.e. put self health and target health near each other.
• Option for Self Health bar that is moveable, instead of bubble.
• Casting / Charge bar below target bar. (ability to see when target is casting)
• Within range indicator below 1-5 buttons is inaccurate.
• Target of Target display
• World Map: Turn on / off items from legend. Would help trying to locate that last POI or Vista for a zone that you just cant seem to locate.
• An apply button for trait points, as well as a minus, so you can work on a build prior to applying it.
• Display actual HP instead of percentage.
• Character Screen: Zoom ability, Dye screen center character as well.
• Pop-up windows (your in queue, or confirmation box for equipping an item) should not interfere with game controls… i.e right mouse click to turn etc.
• Pop-up windows: Ability to respond via keyboard. Spacebar / Enter for Ok, Y or N or Yes or No.

This is a problem in many areas, not just WvW. PvE dynamic events are just as bad.
In no way saying I disagree with your request though…. I just wanted to add that it effects the entire game where there are numerous players / NPCS and lots of spell effects going on.

An Asura firing a Long Bow would be awesome… He would just have to use it Side Gat style. He would look like a mobile ballista.

I at one point did wish I had an “End it All!!” button.
I was on a personal story, and a swarm of undead were attacking me, and I had to use a special weapon to kill them.
I was in a downed state, and my NPC partner kept reviving me, but the mobs were doing so much DPS that I was just staying in a downed stated, being revived and DPSed for quite some time. I Tried both helping with using bandages and my other skills… I also tried doing absolutely nothing…. It took FOREVER (ok well it felt like it).

In the end, the mobs finally won, and I re spawned, and finally figured out how to use that blasted weapon.

so, yes, at that point I so wanted an end it all…

Like it, and its so in character with the game.

Like cream… rising to the top.

Would love being able to support my team via repairs of siege equipment.
Carrying more supplies makes sense, that’s what we do, we carry a pack.
Boy / Girl scouts of the battle field… always prepared.

another +1 on this… It looks schmoove.

Your not alone, and yes it may be the PC not rendering right….
but I believe its more of too much to render with all the spell effects and numerous PC/NPCs to draw.
This often will happen in PvE at many dynamic events as well.

Numerous people have requested options to turn off / down spell effects to give more GPU power to rendering the actual opponents.

going to reply to this thread again with another “I agree with this thread.”

I did this earlier, and got a post infraction for saying just the below:

Like em all… great thread.

No idea why that got an infraction for posting off-topic.

Let the sunshine in…..

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

The 9/24 update does have some adjustments to this story step. (It wasn’t intended for so many destroyers to be active at once.)

Anyone else notice that our turrets don’t show in the combat log?
Was trying to get a feel on what #’s they put out and could not see a line for them appear.

/agree to all. Each and everyone is a valid request or issue.

Daisako Kunandra.6248:

They have already stated they are working on this, no need to make a new thread about it.

I can understand irritation on seeing the same thread. But when there isn’t a place to see what the projected goals and whats being worked on. Your going to continue to see posts about the same thing.

GW2 needs to put out a goals and aspirations posts on whats being worked on, whats planed, and whats NEVER going to happen.

Reynfall.1547:

Minimum zoom is too far away. I want to look closer at my character. I have to walk up against a wall to be able to do that. GW1 had zero problems with this.

modified the line referring to camera to cover zoom out and in more.

• Mouse Zoom / FOV change.  Let me zoom out and in more (all the way to first person please)… and increase the FOV… My eyes are hurting

CAMERA: Fix it … everything from FOV to first person to max range to bobbing in and out when doing jump puzzels.

Key Bind  3 Different key binds for Loot, Resurrect and Interact. Sometimes I want to resurrect rather than looking an item or chopping a tree etc.

/agreed all ground targeted abilities…. max range in direction.

Light of day to you.

Great and detailed post. I agree and hope they are listening.
This has to be on their short list, since its one of the most discussed Issues I have seen.

Customize-able UI is a definite want in my book.

“Arise my pet!!!”

Yep, my wife would like this as well.
And you know, what ever the wife wants, she gets.

Yeah I just figured anything that was a Range weapon would be usable by a Ranger…
Especially anything used for hunting.

Is this thread bugged out for anyone else? since it was moved, it never takes me to the next new post. just to a page for a reply with no thread.

yeah its kind of frustrating to do a achievement like complete a map, and get all gear that you cannot use because its for a different profession.

Dormedas.9524:

While Black and Red is the color for EVERY Whispers agent, you’re thinking about Ries (sp?).

And I agree.

Ahh but you knew exactly who I was talking about from my deft description.
And thank you for the name.

The girl that’s in Black and Red and works for the Whispers.
Hawt.

Hardest part I have on completing zones is trying to locate that one POI that I didn’t go to previously. Wish there was a way to filter out World Map legend items. i.e. filter out all hearts, waypoints, and vistas, that way I can just focus looking for the little empty squares.

A few big things for me:

• Key Bind  3 Different keybinds. Loot, Resurrect and Interact. Sometimes I want to resurrect rather than looking an item or chopping a tree etc.

• Vendor auto filter. On by default. If I cannot use it because of profession (not level), do not show it. No point. Especially on Karma vendors. Oh yes, I have double clicked on the wrong item a couple of times.

• Mouse Zoom / FOV change.  Let me zoom out more… and increase the FOV… My eyes are hurting

• World Map: Turn on / off items from legend. Would help trying to locate that last POI or Vista for a zone that you just cant seem to locate.

WvW:
• Queue for all 4 WvW areas.
• Show what battleground I am queued for when queued for only one.
• Show Queue time.  both how long I have been queued and estimate.
• Ability to see WvW score when in overflow.
• Auto-Loot bags. Miss them all the time, they contribute to lag as well.

Class:
• Necromancer:

? Pet Control: Ability to call off pets or send to attack.
? Consistent healing out of combat: sometimes they heal sometimes they don’t.

? Pet Names do not stay.
• Engineer
? Display turret life on UI
? Turret name to display personal tag to tell between others.
? Alternate Keybind for picking up Turret (sucks to pickup turret when you just want to loot or revive someone.

Two things that could assist in the WvW area:
Option to remove spell effects from friendly spells.
Option to draw enemy players before friendly players (of course still have them display on the map).

Big list on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/z6mbe/the_ultimate_list_of_changes_youd_like_to_see/

It appears the fonts are not scaleable.
When I select small UI the text is jagged and difficult to read.
Yes, its been bugged in game.

+1 on this.

foot note on the forums.. they need a Suggestions forum. Place to consolidate all those good ideas like this one.

I was initially thinking the same thing… but where I have encountered this before is out in the middle of a field with no NPC’s or Players nearby except for wild animals (boars, wolves, etc). This is WAY away from civilization where the bug listed in that link shouldn’t come into play.

Thanks for the response none the less though.

Great idea, and need to add mark forums read as well.

You know the emotes you hear from other players.
“Adrenalin Rising!!!”
“Time to Kill”
“I make a great team”

Ok, I play a Male Asurra Necromancer. I am off alone killing mobs, or just running across a zone. I hear the audio emotes from other characters. Many times its female. So, its not an emote that should be coming from me. No, they are not near me, they are not in a cave below me or on a ledge above me.
Happens often enough for me to post about it. Nothing specific that I know of that triggers it.

ichyboy.2315:

Lets wait and see… maybe they are workin on it as of the moment…

Agreed, but an acknowledgement of the issue, whether it be a bug or intentional design would be good.

BrunoBRS.5178:

the worst part is that i don’t remember it being like this in the betas at all, so it feels like they added that change for the worse intentionally.

Camera issues have been there and reported since at least Beta3.

Agreed on the camera issues.
Maybe they are listening, since they did some patching for the Downed State camera issues.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_status_updates

Downed mode camera
In tonight’s software update we will improve the downed mode camera to maintain a more consistent distance taking race into account.

Agreed on this issue with the lazy pets.
But there is also the opposite, especially with the flesh golem, running off in a direction and attacking a mob that is no where near me, and I did not have the mob targeted, and the mob was not attacking me.

big things the Necro needs for his pets:

• Display pet life
• Pet Control: Ability to call off pets or send to attack specific target
• Consistent healing out of combat. Sometimes they heal, others not.
