Vol.7601:

If everyone gets ‘epic loot’, then is it really epic?

No.

I think we can settle with non-loot rewards.

Are you nuts? Gamers want GOOD loot. . . . . .

Complete disregard of Guild organization features. I.e. guild panel info & options.
(And I DON’T want some stupid API. I want a functioning guild panel >.<)

The ability to be in multiple guilds. Worst idea I’ve ever come across in an mmo. Completely strips guilds of any sense of community & loyalty. Also, makes it 100xs more difficult for 100% rep guilds to build a desired environment AND keep track of it at the same time… call me old fashioned if u must >.>

Terribad UI options. I should be able to move AND size everything on my screen….

incredibly unrewarding loot

World XP Account slot Gem***

1800 Gems Per Character. Account Bound.

“Release your potential and share your World experience with your favorite character”

Release date 18th March 2014

That’s not even remotely funny

No
Anet please fix and enhance our current wvw before doing this kind of thing again!

buuuuuuttttt…. it’s too late anyway cuz they already announced it….
so I’ll say this:
ONLY if acct bound wxp is in place BEFORE it starts
ONLY if NO free or discounted xfers are offered this time before it starts. That killed the whole thing last time. Bandwagonners should have to pay full price for their whole guilds to xfer if they care so little about the server that they’re currently on.
And, I agree, it will probably be the last nail in the coffin for low pop servers this time around.

In-combat, this would bring a welcomed serious challenge to playing ele.
After I cast my ‘main’ staff skills, I often find myself bored and certainly frustrated with such slow cast times for almost every skill.

Out of combat, at the very least, it would be wonderful to have a built in weapon swap option. I can see no harm in this & then there wouldn’t be an obnoxious H panel blocking 80% of my view while I swap weapons >.>

Anet, please leave warriors alone. It is the ONLY class in the game that is nearly perfectly balanced.
Time will be MUCH better spent elsewhere on other classes.

Julie Yann.5379:

Warrior is in a good place, we have a lot of viable builds to choose from and can fulfill pretty much any role. I would like it to stay that way while. I would also like for Anet to fix all the other professions to the point where that can have the same amount of viable builds and fulfill any role. Just crying nerf is not going to accomplish that.

This ^^
L E A V E T H E M A L O N E
Bring all other classes UP
I don’t even main my warrior, but I am extremely pleased about what it offers me when I play it. It’s almost perfectly balanced.

1. Ranger (& plz plz plz, the option to turn pet off & not have it come out until you choose to; not a viable class in wvw team environment)
2. Necro (most boring class in the game; needs power build work & def trait work)
3. Mesmer (choice between aoe skills/clones; more directions for builds; bug fixes)

if I had a choice for 4, it would be thief who also offer almost nothing to a wvw team environment

If u guys want true balance, (which is what u say all the time), then u should make every class able to make a build suitable to each ‘environment’ in the game.
Tanky, Dps, Support, Roamer, Group Play etc.. while keeping them unique classes at the same time. No small feat I know, but would promote more people trying all classes, cough cough buying more Character Slots cough cough, Instant Trait Reset cough cough etc.
Some people prefer certain play styles & are never going to make an engineer, or mesmer etc… bcs of that.
Just sayin… moar money & peeps for gw2

and YES every class should have the option of a 25% run speed oi

Read the tool-tip… kinda makes it obvious :P

+1
I’ve never played a game w/o these options, so this is a little rough for meh

I know, it’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s truly disheartening to think that we’ll have to wait 2 months or so for account bound WvW XP, I mean, honestly, they should never have even said anything if they weren’t going to deliver soon thereafter. kittening kittenes me off. I mean how kittening hard is it to just get account bound xp?? I understand Edge of the Mists is more difficult,

User testing for EOTM finished 2 weeks ago so it must be almost finished.

Last testing, it was far from being finnished…

Now, for those complaining about WxP not yet being account-bound, it’s not like as if it was an “insert line of code here” thing…
Any line of code inserted can have effects on the whole game, which is why it needs testing… I’d rather wait and have a nice product than get it now and get an half-working/half broken thing…

Like all the points being attributed to all characters in the same way
or
some players had their progression lost
or
for some unexpected reason, we can’t log in anymore
or
any other thing that can get messed up when something is not well implemented…

whoa whoa whoa
They said they were testing account bound wxp WHILE they were testing EotM
That’s 3 months PLUS that they’ve had to get this right already….

Devvies!

“The player location information that shows up while mousing over a contact will now also correctly display that player’s map and world while they’re in WvW.”

Is this fixed in the Guild Panel also? (doesn’t sound like it)
Or is it just F list &/or Party based?

Any improvements coming to the Guild Panel soon????

The point is that most WvW’ers DON’T WANT TO FIGHT PVE MOBS
And if for some reason, they get a hankerin, there’s plenty of places for them to go do it.

And I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that WvW’ers don’t care about there being a ‘reason’ behind a new maps’ existence. . . . . .

They should just make it so that anyone who engages with a piece of siege acquires Iron Hide until they dis-engage.
something along those lines….

mcarswell.3768:

DAoC had a really great mechanic where the guild that claimed a keep or tower would get messages in guild chat when a guard near their tower was killed. The message looked like “a guard from your tower was killed with 25 enemies in the area” and showed up in guild chat even if you were in a PVE zone.

It makes sense that a guard at your fort would communicate with you in some way that he was ‘under attack’
+1 if it’s done right

nopoet.2960:

Truth is that there is no reason for Karma jugs or any size to exist in the game anymore. They were only good for transferring karma from one character to another. With currencies being account wide we should just be awarded with the karma as the “physical” object serves no purpose other than filling up your bags and making you click.

This would be ok IF they upped karma rewards a little.
Just think of all of the ppl out there now buying stacks of obsidian shards with karma….

We should still get karma jugs with Monthly completion AND we should have a chance to get karma jugs of a larger size with our Daily completions.
I also think it would be a nice addition to some chest rewards & would like to see badges tradeable for karma & visa versa.
Don’t think that Anet won’t throw in more uses for karma in the future. They will fill that void.

I also find this pretty close to insulting when I get it lol
At least make it 1s or something >.>

I like op’s ideas 1 & 3. This grind for dragonite is getting old fast. Especially since they nerfed the amts….

The amount from world bosses haven’t changed. The only one that got reduced was bloodstone dust from champ bags.

Ok let me elaborate. I’m a wvw’er…. there’s only so much pve I can take >.>
I used to get a kitten of a lot more from Keep Lords….. & my guild isn’t a KTrain guild….
I am also currently busy making ascended armor which takes a LOT of dragonite ore. With multiple toons, this could take way too much pve grinding. (it already is) I can’t imagine how frustrating this for someone doesn’t have a massive amount of time available to play the game.

macon.4065:

1. Create a trader that will turn bloodstone dust into dragonite ore – lets face it 4000 bloodstone dust is a bit much in the old bank account.

This wouldn’t affect anyone negatively at all

I like this idea. Other games have it.

It’s on their list. It will be done, but no time frame has been made available yet.

this game does NOT need mounts oi

Many of these ideas are awesome mate!
+ infinity

Some of these things have been asked for since launch….
Running a guild this whole time and after this long, getting very frustrated.

Anet, can we please get an answer about whether or not you are working on Guild Panel improvements & what ones?

It’s bad enough that ppl are allowed to join multiple guilds, negating a sense of guild community, but you guys seem to ignore guild needs altogether.
I’m not forgetting guild missions but, we never asked for those >.>

(If I’m missing info on things in the works, please post a link. There’s an awful lot to read in these forums lol)

Yes, the UI is obnoxious in this game. Please let us make some of it go away until we actually want to see it.
And when new, local events pop up, please just make it show the title, then you can then click on that to open up the information.
Sometimes, I walk into an area and suddenly 3/4 of the right side of my screen is screaming at me & blocking my view >.<

Aveneo.2068:

I am also very much in favor of a dedicated mini-slot on the hero tab. Now I have to go into my invisible bag every time after zoning or death to get my mini back. A lot of hassle just to have a mini out.

Made a quick mock-up some time ago showing how a mini-slot could work on the Hero tab:

This alone would be awesome!!
But, I tire of having to re-summon my mini. Seriously anet, can we please have them stay out when we die/re-zone???

Ren.5842:

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Imo it should be possible to display your guild logo on all existing armors. Not make a seperate armor for it.

If this was at all possible as an option, I’d snap it right up – even if it ended up in the gem store!

yesplease!

There are def NOT enough options in this department!

I love these chests! Currently it’s one of the best ways in the game to get globs, new recipes, dragonite & salvagables.
I finally feel more like I’m getting rewarded for game play.
Thank you anet!

I like op’s ideas 1 & 3. This grind for dragonite is getting old fast. Especially since they nerfed the amts….

These “champ” trains also make friends and foster a sense of community, guesting or not.
Which is real hard to accomplish on dead maps….
Oh and another thing, many gamers play for LOOT. If they feel they are getting loot, they will continue to play.
If someone is being nasty, use the report function. But, you’re going to find that everywhere in gaming. Block/Ignore/Report, or alter your chat tab options.
Stop trying to take parts of the game out that people are enjoying just because you’re not enjoying it…

One of the most attractive things about this game is the intricate landscape with the sun shining down on it.
I love that this game is not all dank, dark, gloomy, & depressing.
There are some darker areas like underground/caves/dungeons and that’s fine & I enjoy those too but, leave the rest of the world alone. It’s quite beautiful.
If you want somber, dismal, desolate, landscapes, go play ESO

I wish ppl would stop trying to get rid of the ‘downed state’ in GW2. It’s unique & works well with many aspects of this game, leave it alone.

I like this idea. I would also like to see our fulls stats still be displayed against the ‘reduced level’ stats. I always find myself in lower level areas going to look at my H panel to ck a stat and then saying “kitten, I can’t look at that unless I port out…..”
Dunno if anyone else does that or not lol

skins, skins, & more skins
And not with BL ‘tickets’. I have never bought BL Keys thru the gem store and I never will.
However, I have bought FOUR skin sets with gems already and would gladly but more if they were available & nice looking.

Anet, stop trying to make crazy, over-complicated skins. It seems like you feel you need a detail popping out of every pixel :P Totally not necessary. And please let go of the fanny-pack fetish >.>

Please make all permanent harvesting tools permanent in the gem store. I still have 7 more toons to equip >.>
Offer 3-packs of the 3 diff types like you did recently, but also offer 3-packs of the same type along with selling them singularly.

Bring on that 2nd ore node pack & more stuff for our home instances

Fix the hair clipping issues on town clothes and ….. maybe……….maybe

Copper-Fed Salvage-o-matic, best thing evar. I have 2 & want one on every toon.
Upgrade Extractor, very good idea
& TYSM for the Collection Expander!

Please stop making so many items temporary. You ‘surprisingly’ bring this stuff around and it’s only around for a cpl days and it’s no where near payday for me….
You would get so many more purchases from me if you just keep that store full of items!
People like options, options make you more money

I love these ideas. Dodge is an awesome mechanic in GW2.
Recently, I went back to try out another game again. Was fighting, & went to dodge….. DENIED.
Game closed lol

I agree that these should be rich nodes OR, your Home Instance should have a +% gathering boost applied.
I bought these simply bcs I also want a “pimped out” home instance.

+1. Always wondered why I couldn’t see my weaps on char select.

The title of this thread threw me off. I was coming in ready to shoot you down lol
Then I read your post
+1 +1
The only pve maps that aren’t barren, are the ones running champ trains, & those still appear to be barren bcs the ppl are localized to the train.

This needs to be fixed. Just make them dye-able period.
Hairstyles are limited for me for this very reason :/

I’m not a techie by any means here so, help me understand this.

Are you talking about public access to guild information? Or just access to guild information if you are a member of that guild?
Public access to guild information is a truly bad idea. no-no-& no

Allowing only Guild Leaders access to special member information is also not helpful.
I am an officer and I run the guild in the guild leaders absence. The guild leader is only on a cpl of hours a day. I spend hours of my rl time keeping up the multiple guild spreadsheets required to keep track of what’s going on with our members.
Honestly, I’m not sure why the Guild Panel has not been revamped in 16 months… It’s almost useless. Why won’t you guys fix it?

What I would give for just a “Last log-in” date & the ability to grant individual members certain levels of access apart from rank…

I wasn’t trolling, I was being serious >.>
Apparently you’re not used to that

If you’re bored & you can’t get what you want, then maybe you should quit the game

“Golf claps all around”
lol what a dweeb
“wiping us 1 time”… huehuehue
Don’t worry we’ll keep the port bombs coming cuz they work quite well against you

I dont get all of this…are you guys mad at [Mend] because you dont like them or because they left? From what i gather from looking at it, seemed they werent all too popular but the main reason for the hate is that they left the server. A “how dare you leave us even though we hate you” kind of thing, something [Buns] knows all too well.

[Mend] is a great guild and has many likable and skilled players, I for one am happy they decided to stay on IoJ when a lot of other guilds decided it was time to leave. Major props to them for being the only transfer guild to stay the entire season, even though we were matched up in impossible to win matchups, with much higher tiered servers.

Haven’t been on much this match up but im sure theres plenty of killing and being killed by either side, it just so happens that one side is the only one forum waring over it.

I also wonder what the previous parts of that conversation was but theres no need to post it all over these forums, from what im seeing of this matchup….[Mend] was right in leaving Hod.

Well you see, what had happened was (and this is from my perspective, I have no “insider” story on what might be factually correct in all this, but i believe most of it to be) Mend rightly deserved about 90% of the hate they got. They continuously bashed on people who didn’t play the way they did, which basically made them enemies with all of HoD’s rather decent sized roaming population at the time, and then bashed other guilds who didn’t do what they wanted, which from what I saw was sit in towers and then rely on siege to win against enemy PuG zergs. I really have no idea what their win/lose situation was in fights, but I hope to god with all the siege they used that they wiped those PuG zergs.

After getting fed up with this “hate”, which was mostly just stuff redirected back at them as Flappy during his time on HoD came off the most as quite the kitten bag for reasons states above, they basically said “Bye HoD we’re leaving because you’re bad and we’re so much better than you, blah blah, blah blah, screw you guys, etc.” and left. Resulting in the hate most of HoD has for them now.

Sure some of us may have taken things too far every now and then, but I don’t regret it one bit. And I’m enjoying wiping every single small/solo Mend group I see this week and it feels kitten good.

Pretty much this. One of the things missing in the post was the video Mend made bashing some HoD players using their real life photos.

Oh you mean the video that had screenshots of you guys telling us that you hope all of [Mend] gets cancer and dies?
hmmm.. no wonder why you would hate us!
can’t imagine why we would leave!

I agree w what anet says, although a better solution would be to auto-generate match-up threads each week themselves, & then dedicate a cpl of ppl to forum moderation solely.
Kick kitten if ppl get out of line.
But, at least ppl will still have a place to discuss things respectably, &/or set up gvg & duels. Not sure how ppl can set up gvgs in obsidian sanctum without a forum to discuss it in, unless they already have certain ppl on their friends list from previous occurrences…
Give the reporting system some love, & then ppl won’t feel they need to use the forums for that type of thing either.
not sure what their budget is for any of these suggestions

Wild Bulbasaur.1938:

WOW. [VoC] is having some great fights so far in DHBL, especially against [Mend]! you guys have some good tactics, and we’re definitely learning a thing or two.

Good fights, good times

Some of the peeps on HoD, (you know who you are) are the most foul-mouthed, disrespectful, hateful, mean-spirited people, I have ever had the misfortune of gaming with.
You are a constant reminder of how great IoJ’s community really is.
Whether or not we “win” or “lose” against you is of no consequence.
Rest assured, the joy I get out of spiking you & fulfilling bounties will keep me on a high for the next year to come.

You sure have not experienced true trolling then if you think HoD is the most foul-mouthed, disrespectful, hateful, mean-spirited people. Go take a dive into a Magumma thread and try not to cry.

HoD has the best community in that we take pride into our guilds and members. You mess with one guild or member then you have to take the backslash of the whole server. I’m going to enjoy hunting down Mend.

Btw, I’m not talking about forum trolling. But you wouldn’t know anything about what I’m talking about since you weren’t there for any of it…
Hence the “(you know who you are)”
Sounds like you’re fitting right in on HoD tho!!

No worries You will be hunted as well. So, don’t feel slighted!
Better start working on those weaknesses we’ve been hearing about

Those small improvements [default system for multi-colored tags; guild only tags; squad only tags; no map suppression, enlarged supply check radius] would be welcomed and certainly enough to tie us over!
What a difference those would make!!

~~ I don’t know of many ppl that actually join squads. The reason is that, while it may make it easier to follow said commander, it then takes away from your understanding of what’s going on across the map as a whole. It also makes it difficult to coordinate multiple groups for sake of tactics. Map awareness is really important in WvW & we really should keep it in peoples faces.

~~ Spies are a HUGE problem. At the very least, you need to fix the ability for enemies to join your squad….

~~ Seeing the enemy commander is totally unnecessary. I’d like to see the exact opposite (buff bar icon removed)

~~ I think that a WXP line for commanders would be an awesome addition. But, it shouldn’t be overdone.
It should simply show that a person has played wvw a bit before they get a tag (which should remain purchasable at 100g & maybe throw in a fee of 500 badges), and then the rest should simply be for some extra perks.
So maybe, “unlock ability to buy commander tag” at say 50 wxp points. Then, just some nice little perks to finish off the line, but nothing overly game changing.
Commander tags should NOT be tied to guilds. I know many ppl who have successfully commanded wvw while guildless & that option should still remain open to people if that’s their playstyle.

I know that I personally enjoy working towards those goals and appreciate that you have implemented them. Gives a sense of accomplishment & helps me feel like I have more to contribute to gameplay

~~ For the issue of chat suppression. It definitely needs to be fixed. If someone starts spamming or harassing, that’s what the Report System is for… Maybe enhance the report system with a cpl more options that apply directly to WvW, and let us bark orders freely in chat

1. Different colored tags
This should not be an additional purchase, & it should be a default system.
~Commander enters map that has no tag currently on it, pops his tag, & the default blue tag appears.
~2nd Commander enters the map, pops his tag, & the 2nd default colored tag appears.
We should not be able to choose the tag color because many people will want the same colors to represent them, which defeats the whole purpose of the system. (just don’t make a pink tag )
2. Greatly increase supply check radius
3. Give us an option for the tag to only be seen by guild members. Or as someone already stated, Party/Guild/Map option would be awesome!
4. Make Commander ‘buff’ work like the outnumbered buff. Invisible to enemies (ty Daniel)
5. Increase the squad limit
6. Allow only commanders to have access to using team chat
7. “Text suppression threshold greatly increased”

“Would you rather see us make some number of small improvements in the short term and larger changes long term or just tear the whole thing down and start from scratch?”

Small – short term plz! We’ve been waiting SO long for a fix!
