This is an itnerested but hard to implement skill.
Just add more weapon skills and the ability to change skills in and out of your weapon bar (like GW1
That be a nice idea too.

Why did we need another mount thread? It was split about 50-50 in every other thread and now someone wants them to fly too? Stop trying to ruin the game for half of the population by adding useless shtuff. How about they fix the bugs and do some balancing? How about an arena for aerial combat – that I would be kewl with.
OH, wow arena for aerial combat now that’s something to discus! Awesome idea!
Actually there is a whole bunch of ideas for new classes at guildwarsguru some of them are more detailled than others and some of them feasible than others.
The Ritualist and the kick boxing Monk, like Scholar I suggested, seem to be quite popular, from what I understand. Another one I liked is the Oracle concept I made, which was supposed to be designed for GW1 Monk or WoW Priest players. I’m not so sure about the mechanics of the Sangoma, but I thought it suits to the GW2 concept art I liked a lot.
Wow, love them all!

Since the Zaishen are dedicated by lives to Balthazar, shouldn’t they be heavily influenced by him in terms of their skills? Tons of fire and what not.
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Zaishen
Two of the images provided aren’t Zaishen or affiliated with them, not sure if you were implying that or not. One is Shiro Tagachi of the Imperial Guard in Cantha. The other is a Kurzick in Cantha as well. If you just meant to use those as armour example then ignore this part.
It is an interesting Idea none the less, but the problem I run into with this class is this:
1) The God’s aren’t helping the humans anymore and the Zaishen are 100% loyal and dedicated to Balthazar.
2) The Great temple of Balthazar were the Zaishen are from is located on the Battle Islands. With Bubbles the dragon, we really don’t know what has happened to this island chain.On your 2 points
1) The Gods might not be helping the humans but that’s not stopping them from worshiping them and the idea of the zaishen is for a flexible and versatile combat master (note not arms master that’s the warrior) not directly linked to balthazar.
2) The battle isle are gone that’s much is known from the movement of the world article long ago. Regardless of this the zaishen can very well be alive still since they had ample access to the mist and could have escaped there facing imminent destruction and survived there the last 250 years along side innumerable ghost of warriors that fall on the mist taking from them and perfecting their style. (I say this because all PvP takes place in the mist).
Good points.
Just look at this clip from another game.

If they add flying mounts, they really need to take some inspiration from therethe lore behind “the good dragons”?
Well, the ones terrorizing Tyria were expelled from the dragon kingdom becasue they wanted to conquer it. We have good humans (seraph) and bad humans (bandits, pirates), We have good charr and we have bad charr, we have good asurans and we have bad asurans… why not have good dragons while we have bad dragons?Besides, in this way they can make even more bad dragons and let Zaitan be just a mere rebel compared to the new ones
Interesting twist.
I want a class that makes focuses on more damage at a sacrifice of survival or focusing on living rather than doing more damage. Could either be a solo class or a support class. Heavy armor and uses daggers, swords, focuses, staffs, scepters, greatswords, and axes or something like that. One signet I thought of for this post would be like do less damage but gain vitality or toughness and the active could be gain protection and heal. Or a more offensive signet doing more damage with decreased toughness with an active being gain quickness and retaliation. I know I’m just dreaming but I think a class like that would be fun. I still don’t know what it would be called though.
I agree with the Heavy Class mention here, it almost describe what I posted a few month back of the New Soldier Class I like to see.
I have tried multiple times to level up an Alternate character in GW2 to no success… Every time I get on a character that isn’t my main its just agonizing thinking of how long its going to take and all the things I have to repeat in a now mostly empty environment.
In other games there are various ways that your main character help your Alts other than in gold and crafted gear. A little extra help to get you though something that you have basically already done. I think GW2 is missing this and I see potential in the achievement system to make something new no other game has tried before.
The idea is basically to give bonuses to characters in your account based on how much you have in your achievements (and by extension your Main character). This could include some basic gear for leveling without having to depend on your luck on drops. Karma bonus at certain levels (10, 20, 30 etc) which also help you stay geared. It can also include a exp and/or karma bonus or a crafting bonus if you have your crafting maxed on your main.
All these bonuses could help alleviate the very tedious task of leveling an Alt in GW2. On your first character you don’t feel like you are going slow because everything is new. Even on a new character it can be ok for the first 30 or so levels while your story is different but past that when it starts getting slow it really starts to grind on the player.
So what does everyone think or what other bonuses can be given to your account for getting achievements ?
TL;DR Achievements on your main make you level up alts faster.
Omg, so true I totally agree with you in this. Its rather hard to level a new character. This affect more the casuals I think that the hardcore players. I tried many times to make a new profession but just thinking about all that, achievements, levels, even gaining the colors… again is a pain. Maybe if the personal story became part of your every level until the end I guess it be better but even that’s just last until level 30 then Trahearne takes over.
++1 for this post.
Awsome! Yep that’s it!!! it work, sorry for the noobish question.
Hello, I seem to be having an annoying problem. I bought the Consortium Harvesting Sickle but unlike my other purchases it dint fall to my e-mail nor did it in my inventory.
Made another character thinking; “Hey, maybe u can only have one unlimited gathering material per character?” (I have the Lava Mining tool) But that was not the case… I click on, confirm purchase and nothing happens.
Can someone help me? Is there something I’m doing wrong?
I support this Fixing the Holy Trinity, I even posted an Idea suggesting a possible way to fix it, as suggested by my guild friends.
Its becoming a growing problem in PVE the All Heavies parties for dungeons, as it leave the other cool professions pretty much looking as leftovers or worst, kick out for a Heavy. Its becoming very discouraging and its hurting the PvE experience.
This can also solve the Issue we been having in PvE where the parties that do dungeons are compose of all Heavies and a lone Mesmer or some other class. I really hope they find a way to balance this in PvE its really hurting the game. Its seems that the New Trinity Arena Net offered has ways to go.
Actually this idea came to me because I encountered this situation with my Elementalist and some of my friends so many times we discuses it and they ask me to post it. We think this will help tons this problem and work toward the New Trinity Arena Net wanted to offer players.
Heck. Yes.
Since launch I am hoping for this. Flying mounts, please. Ground mounts, please. Underwater mounts, please. It doesn’t have to be in air combat – that would be a heck of a lot of work. But mounts would add such more depth to this game. If we could explore and view the world from the sky as well, it would be EPIC.
Vistas and JPs – just add a zone around them in which you can not fly. Problem solved.
I know it’s a lot of work to do, but would it be worth it? Hell yeah! Especially, if you look at the game from a long term point of view…in a year, 5 years…why not?!Aerial content and combat> mounts.
Indeed!
I agree with Ronah.
A new continent aboveground, with lots of islands and amazing level design. Anet is pretty good at level design so I trust they would get it right. Underwater combat proves the gameplay elements are already there and would only need some adapting.
A new continent solves the issue of having to rework pretty much everything.
Also give us aerial jumping puzzzles (Like fly through rings on a timer, escape a collapsing something in a dungeon, etc).
And then add the equivalent for WvW, new map with airships and awesome stuff
Story can be interesting too… You could make a technomagically advanced species like the asura that had to flee their own planet, escaping something… They did so by teleporting the last of their cities to our planet. They are fragile creatures, evolved on the upper atmosphere of a gas giant, unable to survive outside the anti-gravity bubbles that their cities maintain. Sadly they cannot create more of this bubbles as they don’t have the resources on this planet. They could lend the other species (the pact) an anti-gravity generator for very special occasions, this would mean that some living story events could include flying and occur on mainland tyria (Probably instanced).
And there would be a story to discover what were they fleeing, probably related to the Mursaat.Dreaming is free I guess ;(
Awesome suggestion! Thank you for your contribute idea and support.
If a mount system is implemented I would really like to see more of it instead of just riding, just as we have weapons and unique powers under water and other interesting environment weapons, but also have powers that can knock you out of the mounting. When mounted we should have our own weapons and powers/utilities/Elites depending on profession. In WvW it would be awesome to see players riding into battle on the ground, air or even under water, like a real war.
Of course they would need to balance it, so there are strategic reasons for mounting or not mount. ++1 for this post.
P.S. Casters should be able to summon their own mounts or transform into them this would be a PLUS for many!

They really need to invent some “planet in the sky” for this game which will be all about mounts, flying mounts, and mounted combat. Asurans may have discover it and then made some gates to go there.
I see it as the only way to expand the GW2 concept and add flying mounts and mounts of any type (robotic, machinery, living) in general plus the mounted combat without ruining the current lore or the current game.
The zone will be for lvl 80’s and the mounts will be usable only on the new planet.The Living story concept can bring something like this into the game and develop it alternatively with the new Tyrian continents: Cantha and Elona
Wow, excellent suggestion and very good illustrations too! Thank you for your contribute idea and support.
Thank you for your support guys, I this keeps up we might see the best of our ideas and suggestion into the next soldier class.
I am not a fan of flying. At least not in sword and board MMOs. It gives the game a very modern feel, which Is not what you want. Take this example, there’s this joke that Frodo should have just ridden on the eagles to get into Mordor, but imagine how much that takes away from the trek. You skip on the adventure.
Good, point, thank you for your thoughts. Still with the right balance of story, lore and creative thinking it could fit somewhere in the game. Don’t tell me you forgot about the Final Fight of Zhaitan? Dint you wikitten was an real air fight with the dragons and their master? Have the feel on jumping on them or have a real air combat with them? I’m sure I’m not the only one who felt that way.
On things for sure Arena Net plays it safe so if some of this even comes out I’m sure it wont have a significant impact to the current content. But keep those opinions flowing, the more discuses the better.
hmmm I think one for starters , no flying mounts ,. although , just various type of odd s tyrian horses, with different types of mounts which can be crafted an colored , different design features and or stat enhance ments,
Good Suggestion!
Dev’s ignore us…they don’t even write any answer…that’s how it works. We spend our money and they don’t give us any answer…
We have to remember this things take time to develop and designed a purpose for it. The Devs are reading but we have to keep bringing the idea to life that’s why we post, so everyone can pitch in with their ideas, on how to go about with this, whether with mounts, a Jet Pack, Fiery Phoenix wings, Death shrouds flying form or Rainbow wings (hahahaha, sorry could not resist).
I think this would be great for some areas in WvW y some New maps of PvP and PvE ofcourse.
(edited by Ngeluz.4860)
I think that mounts or something like mounts should be added.
Why?:
It adds an over layer of a new feel to the game. And something super fun to look forward to (unlocking at level 80 or something).The bad?:
People may say mounts are bad,etc.
Well arenanet could test them in alpha or them selves and see then.
I Agree totally with you. (Love your posts by the way).
HAHAHAHahahaa! Love the Idea!
I support this, also the Capes or Cloaks. (sorry could not help my self LOL)
(edited by Ngeluz.4860)
This actually sounds like a kick kitten idea, but alas. We come to the dreaded impassible wall of the Anet’s “Give a kitten” meter that seems to be frozen at “Below Zero.” At the moment, they have showed no desire to change any gameplay changes. They play too safe to make anything actually exciting.
Till they get a back bone and decide “Lets make something the community would actually talk about” your idea will be lost in the crypt of suggested ideas.
Prove me wrong! I 100% invite it! Would make me more than happy.
Who knows my friend, we never know right?
