Guild Wars 2

cos their system is a joke.
I had the same last night when trying to form a fractuals group. Apparantly ya need to type it in and make it different to not be a spammer.

I think since its a suggestions forum people will pick up on things they like in other mmo and “suggest” them for GW2. Its natural. And since there are many mmo’s out there with lots of cool features, why not use them?

WoW has done this since it conception and its why its as massive as it is. Granted I dont agree with alot of their inclusions, but they at least aint blinded by other mmo’s. they learn from them. If a feature does well in an mmo ya can bet ya backside blizzard will be discussing it around their table.

Anet need to pop over to DC Universe Online and see how they handle it. Works a treat. But to save the skin rather than just equip like in DCUO you use a transmutation stone.

Look at this guys array of outfits (keep in mind its not full costumes but parts of ) and yet not one single bag space is used. Except actual gear. All the styles are saved and can be changed at anytime.

not saying I like or dislike the idea but Ill chip in and say the model DCUO uses seems to work well.

WvW is a HUGE zergfest that normally involves pounding on empty keep doors.

Who cares what gear your wearing? I roll WvW on my level 20ish alts..

Lets not pretend GW2 has some fantastic Group RvR action going on where gear actually matters.

Its zerg vs zerg 99.99999999999999999% of the time.

basically this. Acended gear being required in WvWvW is laughable. Half the players in there aint even lvl 80 yet. If you need Acended gear to stomp a zoned up lvl 30 then you have bigger issues.

Grim.6415:

Well I’m married with 3 kids and I get up just around 6:15am every morning whether it is for work or kids (who are used to getting up when I do for work). They go to bed at 7pm and I need at least 1 hour to do chores after the kids are in bed.

This means if I want to get a normal 8 hours sleep in that I would be dedicating every single moment of my life not spent working or with my kids to playing GW2. I realize not all people have this schedule and it’s my choice. I could be a poor husband and a poor father by ignoring my kids and wife by playing video games but I choose not to.

I generally play once every 2nd or 3rd night for about 3 hours at a time with a bit here or there on the weekend if the family is out which gives me about 10-12 hours a week most weeks.

I think if I dedicated all my spare time to farming one item in one game for months I need to take a second look at the value of doing that. If it’s through fun gameplay then maybe, monotonous farming… no thanks.

Then maybe MMO’s aint a genre of games thats suitable to your lifestyle. I spent 15 years working my kitten off to be at a place now where I get up when I want. Do what I want. If I wanna play GW2 for 15 hours I can. When I couldnt play ANY games cos I was to busy I didnt think “Oh lets buy something I just cant get any value from.”

The problem alot of MMO’s face is that they want to be casual friendly but then some jump down their throats when they do anything for the players that wanna invest more time.

2 HOURS A DAY ?

Ok fine if you are a school kid with nothing to do, or a student or unemployed.

So what am I then since I dont fit In any of your silly little groupings.

no one cares if they are contested cos it dont effect their plinx farm

who cares if its an illusion if you still find it entertaining.

I didnt sit through the Avengers with my son saying “its an illusion so ya cant enjoy it”

I don’t find it entertaining.

well when you invest millions of dollars of your own money into a game feel free to only put in what you personally find entertaining.

Do you know what customer feedback is?

yes but it works both ways. Not just YOUR opinon that matters in the world.

Because he is a pansy and we have to do all the hard work while he steals the glory! Real leaders inspire you to greater things. He made me wish I could chop him down more than Zhaitan.

ya cant so it stops scumbag cheats. /thread

personally Id like dungeons to just scale up like DE’s if more than 5 people are present. Everyone gets what they want, and no ones FORCED into it. That just one idea, but Im sure others could do better.

lol when I 1st saw this I thought “dumb idea”

But when I thought about it i realised my limited mind just needed to catch up with your genius Outstanding suggestion. Would be great to expand on it with emotes, new dances new combat animations. The possibilites are quite substantial if Anet ran with it.

tigirius.9014:

And the ridiculous requests continue!

Yesterday it was bring in some gearscore and some dps meters.

Today it’s let’s give the game even MORE gated gear progression to alienate the REST of the playerbase who would actually stay longer then five minutes (when compared to those making these gated progression requests).

All got from that was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
How the hell do raids alienate people further? What cos they need more friends? Well lets get rid of dungeons and DE’s cos they require other people too. MMO not xbox RPG.

GADefence.5634:

“that has nothing to do with raids. Thats class balance. 2 different subjects.”

So either thieves, rangers and the such need a COMPLETE skill retool or ANet needs content other then Raids, which of the two do you think is more likely and better for the game?

Those classes aint being left out of dungeons so why would they be left out of raids? I dont see the point of worrying about class balance in raids before they even have em tbh. If those classes are indeed inferior as you claim then they need some love no matter if they implimented raids or not. Balance is needed across the board no matter what.

we already have a gear treadmill

whites, blues, greens. yellow, golds.

casual friendly and catered sololy for are 2 very different things.

GADefence.5634:

Actually. Raids wouldn’t work in GW2.

Want proof? Warriors, eles, guardians would rule them. Reasoning? They have the highest amount of group support while doing good damage.

Warriors have shouts (which can heal) + heavy armour, and their weapon sets lend well to large groups (good AoE etc)

Eles have good regen, kiting and good AoE.

Guardians have good healing + heavy armour + AoE.

People would rarely carry thieves, might carry mesmers, and would rarely carry rangers. Haven’t played necro enough to comment.

I’m all for bigger group content, but there’s a certain point in GW2 where you reach a “critical mass” of bodies and nothing can really kill.

that has nothing to do with raids. Thats class balance. 2 different subjects.

Id love to see raids. But Id like to see them give us a particle effect slider cos with everything on max half the time i cant see an mob due to em.

to answer the OPs question. Yes. Yes it will make me play more, and probably spend more.

I always wonder why people cry about having no time yet decide to play a bloody MMO. Stick to your xbox then.

I think you are on the wrong forum, this is the “Guild Wars 2” forum, not the Eve, WoW, Lortro, Runescape … forum o.o

No im in the correct forum. Or would my views only be worth something if they acknowledge your a special snowflake who is so important you cant possibly play to much on a game.

Funny your time is such a rare comodity yet your wasting it on a forum about a game.

I always wonder why people cry about having no time yet decide to play a bloody MMO. Stick to your xbox then.

I love the idea of acended gear. Hip hip horray Anet!

Whatever Anet said in the past is done and gone. People forget the fact that Anet are a buisness who are around to make money. What they advertised is true. For the last 3 months there wasnt a gear treadmill (unless whites, blues, greens, yellows, then golds dont count /rollseyes), so the initial purchase lived upto its promise.

Gear treadmill games have proven beyond doubt that they are very popular. Popular = money. Money = good. As I already said Anet are a buisness and as such they do what they need to to keep operating and keeping their employees in a job.

Even if i loathed gear treadmills but had to work on a game that had one to pay my mortgage you can bet your fuzzy bum Ill do it. All the complaining in the world aint going to change whats coming. Either have your temper tantrum and quit or learn to live with it. Its a game afterall not a wife. Ya can leave without any ramifications to your life.

being dismounted is fair enough if the mount is giving a speed boost and ur using it to avoid things (which in Orr is escaping what Anet is trying to do with the area) but if its the same running speed as your toon then being penalised for having a mount would be kinda stupid.

DBM made WoW raids evolve which is a quote from Blizzard themselves. They knew it was there so had to incorperate it or have trivialised content. Just saying its down to number is utter BS. Every MMO has numbers involved just as GW2 has (u have noticed those numbers flash up i assume) so just breaking it down like that just shows either ignorance or blind hate.

The thing thats really starting to piss me off about these forums is that every sugestion breaks down to people liking it or brainless drones harping on repeating the same crap they do in every thread. Duh go play WoW. From what Ive seen peopel aint trying to turn GW2 into a wow clone (otherwise they would just play wow) they are trying to think of elements that will improve GW2.

Since WoW straight up stole ideas from those that came before it, and those after stole ideas from it people just saying go play wow proves just how little the actually know about the subject.

WoW has dungeons so can Anet please get rid please. WoW has dragons to. Another thing we should get rid of. The list goes on and on. And tbh its getting boring to listen to.

dear god you people will argue about anything.

Would mainhand shield be cool? If the answer is yes then thats it.

Agadar.4931:

There’s this game called ‘World of Warcraft’ where there’s an endless supply of brainless raiding. You should give it a shot.

Funny how that “brainless raiding” was 10x tougher than anything GW2 has to offer right now.

As for the actual OP’s suggestion im on the fence. On one hand Id like to see alot more dungeons, but on the other I do like facing large bosses with more friends as the battles feel more epic. But I do feel if Anet decided to impliment raids (which they have already hinted at btw in an interview with Gamebreaker TV) that they should not go past the 10 player mark. Anymore and it would become a cluster(kitten).

Im not saying I agree with their system btw. I think it sucks tbh. Ive mentioned it in other threads that they would be best using a DUCO styles system but requires the stones to actually save them. That would make people clammer to buy transmute stones much more than the current system does. In my opinon anyways.

I mean to buy the transmute stones

its all about getting you to buy gems

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Mounts-Merged/first

cos in Orr people are farming Plinx and ignore the rest of the area mainly. Its sad but also true.

easy solution. Each boss has part of a key. Combined they unlock the door to the last boss. Good luck skipping now.

Shinee.8901:

Wait a second, before anyone gets too far along in the conversation, I’d like to point out that GW2 did in fact, ADVERTISE the fact that their events are dynamic in a way that 1 person with better than average skills can beat the events and that the more people that join the event, the more difficult it becomes. I personally have not observed this to be the case. I’ve done many events several times with 3 people up to 40 ppl or more, the creatures do not change dynamically as advertised.

Unless its a Champion I have soloed most DE’s, so I dont see what the problem is.

Hastur is quite correct though. If you were able to do this then griefers would go out of their way to ruin DE’s etc. Its a sad time where they have to put something in place because of people like that, but in this case I think its one where ya just have to bite the bullet.

Id like to kick some mobs off a cliff mind

so in essence you want the game dumbing down to the point that its all fodder? And people will argue with them being fine because they are.

You made a thread and just thought everyone would just be up in arms and support you. Bubble burst then

As I said Id be fine with the current price if with it came more storage options. As the game gets older storage will start to get more and more sparse. unless they do something about skins being saved I can see people having banks rammed full of gear.

Zeebok.1460:

Doesn’t it make perfect sense that 5 char slots cost as much as the game? (Which gives you 5 char slots)

not when if you bought another game you could have twice as much bank space, something people are lacking. Especially the more toons you have to an account.

Now If buy purchasing said slot you could get more bank slots I could understand it. But you dont. So to get true value for money you would buy a fresh game.

for storage they should give us more bank slots. Id double it tbh.

Aveneo is perfectly correct. Its a CharrZOOKA not CharrRIFLE

Basically the cost of character slots is a rip off

For the price of 5 you could buy a new game account that at least you can expand the bank system with and mail stuff to one another. Am I the only one thinking buying them this way is a bit harsh?

Since someone thought me agreeing with you before warranted a infraction and deleted my post ill try again.

I agree with this as having 2 maps to cater for all the level 80 characters around is kinda meh. Orr looks like one massive zerg rush due to the ammount of DE’s while frostgorge has the odd people pop up for ori or farming for corrupted lodestones. So really one area.

I dont see the harm of a hardmode overflow on some areas since its only really numbers that need to be changed.

Is my response good enough this time?

anyone think its really ironic that the race the guns designed for is the one it clips the worst for?

Bad design there, there is no defense for it

Ive read a few things about the heroes/henchmen thing in GW1 and got quite excited that they could possibly make their way to GW2. Chasing elite skills would be cool to as above poster stated they are by the large kinda meh atm.

Your static thoughout hundred blades. You move even slightly and it ends the animation. Unless your refering to whirlwind attack

Wreckdum.8367:

Plinx meta? A bot could run that event chain.

They already do

very basic tutorial. But ya get the general jist

I went to the store and bought my son a new coat last week. Turns out I got the wrong size. Exchanged it right away, no problem.

anyone think that with the sheer ammount of threads like this popping up on a daily basis, maybe they should address the issue head on and have some kind of Q&A about it?

lol so your saying people are even cowards in the digital world also? This is kinda comical

If someone does this they should get penalised twice. Cos lets face it, it’s pathetic.
