Guild Wars 2

I think its an excellent skill, well balanced in CD and strenght, helps a LOT while leveling.

Definetely a good skill, no absurd cooldown (like the norn forms…), and effect can be very usefull on some situations (no at all like some other racial….).

BUT not worth a digital deluxe upgrade if u just want it….

To have 5 races and not be able to advance roleplay in any of them is very disappointing man! for real!

Each one is free to do advance towards any thing we want.

If i want my 1 hour game for daily issues, OK
If i want my 1 hour game for dungeons, OK
If i want my 1 hour game for story, OK
If i want my 1 hour game for farm legendary, OK
If i want my 1 hour game for farm gold, OK
If i want my 1 hour game for getting skins, OK
If i want my 1 hour game for leveling an alt, OK

Not asking to be a “must do thing” to anyone, just an option to get an “Cultural” title, and do “Cultural” activities instead of Pact, LS, Story or Dungeons.

Same way daily gives the option for multiple activities, one of those activities could be “Complete a Cultural Mission”.

Hi!
Please do infinite activities towards our starter group (warband, krewe, friends, Hunt Party, Dream), daily quests, title advance (Hunter, King Hunter, Slayer, King Slayer, Acclaimed Slayer, Legendary Slayer Ex: Norn), skins and more options to actually feel like im not only a “skin” race.
Please do infinite activities towards our order (whispers, priory, vigil), daily quests, title advance (Scholar, Professor, Researcher, Acclaimed Researcher, Historian, Legendary Historian Ex: Priory), and more options to feel like im not only a guy that can buy skins.
Being 1,2,3 years, please give ANY FEEDBACK that u(dev’s) at LEAST THINK of THAT for FUTURE!!!!
pls =D

Hop, i’v stopped played 2 months after launch cause i had no pc.

I recently got back (1 month) and about living story and all(EOTM):

- I LIKED IT!

just showing support for devs….thx

When i put a item to sell, example “Volcanus” for 420 gold, it says i need to pay 20 gold on fees.

OK: 5% fee to put it there.

Then on the TP screen it also says my projected Profit will be 383g, instead of 420.

So, i get the item, sold it by 420g for someone, and payed 20g(from my wallet) + 37g from my profit, TOTAL: 57g, which is 14% on fees.

Is that correct? is that how it is supposed to work? is it new or was always there?

Same case here.

On Friday i was playing 100%, but when entered CoF started 10s delay. When i left dungeon, normal again. Then yesterday full lag in all places. Same today.

Hi, dear Gamers and Devs

This post is solely for items that would be nice to see on gem-store.

Please dont complain/discuss/talk much.

The next post (mine) will be the model for the other posts.

Thx

1. If its a Mesmer/Ele 8/10, if not 6/10. That’s a name that reminds intelectuals.

2. 7/10 Exotic, dunno the class tought.

3. 5/10 Mixes different language i dont quite like.

Nice Descriptions btw, but classes?

Me:
————————————————————-
Veuve Noir, Thief Female looking almost like Scarlett Johanssen on Avengers.
*Translates from french to Black Widow*
————————————————————-

oh, i forgot the server…im on DarkHaven. Can i change servers atm ?

Hi, im SsEeXxOo

Im looking for a Guild that focus on PvE Achievements and WvW. Follows my data:

Play Time: 19:00 P.M to 01:00 A.M (GMT-Brasília)
Main Character: Hoelbreak, Guardian
Activities: WvW, Achievement Hunting, Farm, Map Completation
Current Achievement Points: 2.150

About me: Im a friendly player, not hardcore, started on beta but stopped 1 month after launch. Just returned to the game and im kinda lost.

PM for: Hoelbreak (Guardian, 80)
PM for: Gyn Bound Soul (Ranger, 80)
PM for: Rosie Eisenhawl (Engineer, 13)
PM for: Drag Batblast (Warrior, 32)

My page IV did disappear as well.
Cant get another.
Im bugged atm.

It have disappeared from my inventory and it wont gimme another.

Im starting to hate Anet.
Rare? wtf, came here just to see what others players think of that.
Coommon devs, 1g u can get our Exotic at the TP.
2 days dungeon we can get our perfect-stat-good-skin with our DESIRED stats.
U should just……“Delete” Personal History.
Really, really?
Who’s making this game? nerds that dont play MMO?
ANY, ANY, just ANY of you DEV played GW1 before? no? not a single one? really?
U SHOULD!
I usually sign “Peace”.

War
Gyn Bound Soul

I believe the first, or maybe the first 3 expansions are all Tyria focused.
If u look at the map u can see there lots of places with names, portals and stuff.
I believe each “expansion” will deal about a Dragon. With a new “World Completation”.
I believe Tengu will set their brains on Tyria in the first big expansion.
I believe, and hope, that each continent (Canhta, Elona) will come witha new race.
I believe each continent will bring us 1 or 2 new class as well.

S2

I agree with most of what u’v said. Here’s some adds:
-An lvl 80 in a 25-30 zone will 2-3 hit anything in its path. For me its just OK, i can farm the Hearts and Stuff for World Complet without having to play the game toushand times.
-An lvl 80 will be stronger and more complete in WvWvW, dungeons, money and any content u can imagine.
So….of course lvl 80 will be better in all kinda stuff, u have worked hard to get to it.

Anet says: “Now we will make a way that max level can play with their friends an still have a challenge, cause hes level will be rescaled to the area level”.

Game experienxe says: If i go to a low lvl zone with my friend in a group i can power lvl him very easy cause of the speed/kill rate i got.
If i go to a Dungeon with a “correct” level PUG u will mostly kick him in the third boss when he dies again in one shot.
People trying to story mode will plea to guildies to help them, cause SM dont give a **** reward for anyone, so no one that already done it want to do it again.

My point: The “downgrade system” is not working properly or if it is, its a big fail. Cause 80 are still OP in low levels and low players are still the “noob” from partys.

My advice: About Dung make it a way where it will scale according to total level of players.
Make it a decent reward for helping others with SM.
Make above things to let our Alts and New players enjoy the game without the stress of leveling right to 80 a must have.
Its easy to level, and thats why u know u can rush to 80. And thats why when we get to 80 we go bored, we actually skipped the whole content, the feeling of completing each dung, each path, each history in a good pace knowing that wer not “losing” anything by doing it without power level.

A simple code: Total level of players = X/400, where 400 is full Dungeon power.
And a: SM reward also gives 60 tokens for first time complete each day for repeaters.

Encourage people to use your content, Anet
Encourage us to make the story
Encourage us to enjoy

S2

System: Downgrade players to match the level of the area in order to make everyone have fun, doenst matter the level.

Problem: The system not works as it should be, a lvl 80 exotic geared with all traits in lvl 35 is likely double HP, Atk, effects, buffs, Resistance compared to the 35-50 real guy.

Result: If u are at the “correct” level for a dungeon u will be kicked by 90% of the party’s in Exp.Mode cause ur weak. Making the whole “Downgrade system” unreasonable for Dungeons.

Solution 1: Make it that it actually effect the stats into a way that a “correct” level with the max gear of that level would be as good as the 80 guy.

Solution 2: Make the mobs adjust to the overall party level:
80+80+75+35+44 = 314/400 being 400 100% HP/Dmg/etc.
This way would encorage 80’s to play together with “correct” level’s for dungeons.

The way it is only encourage the players to go strainght and fast to max level, and while doing it, lose all the fun the game has into, and then making the players come here to complain about how “repetitive, boring, bugged, grindy, etc” is once u reach 80.

We know “correct” levelers are really outmatched cause with 5 lvl 30 we do AC in 3 hours. With 80’s we do in a couple minutes.

Please make your “Downgrade System” work as it should be.

Cantha, expansion, class, race, mechanic.

CONTINENT: CANTHA
Why: So much of a nice continent, and i would LOVE to see Jade Sea in GW2 graphics. Those metropoly cities and streets, full of houses, bandits, alleys, dead ends and traps. The feeling about all that content is super nice. Would love to see about happened to Cantha in those 200 years.

RACE: TENGU
Why: They have always participate in GW1 history in there and there, theres even histories about tengu VS human war. But they are not Charr like, they are Mystic guys. They have gods,they have legends, they got culture, they are fighters with purpose, they are guardians of shrines, they protect temples, and yet they are cruel and brute.

Charr: Warfare realated, Machinery and industry. *1800-1900 guys.
Norn: Spirits, Shamans, Totens,Indian guys.
Human: Nobility, Avatar Gods. Monarchy. *European 1300-1700 guys.
Asura: Scienci, Technology, Research, no mysticism. *21 Century guys***.
Sylvari: Nature attuned, ecology, cycles, dreams. But no gods. *Avatar, yeah, the movie*.

Tengu: Ancient guardians, Legends, Mysticism, temple oracles. *Egypt, India, China, Oriental guys*.

CLASS: RITUALIST
Why: First of all, they were very very much appreciated by a lot of players, we miss them, they were fun, strong and had niiice cabalistic armor sets. I created here what could somehow be them.

Mechanics(F1-F4): “Realm’s Channeling or Spirits Guidance” 4 passive habilities that can be toggled On/Off, once at a time. The “Channeled” or “Guidance” choosen at the moment boost the overall stats at the specific type os set skills.
F1: Call of Realms, Boost your Summoning rituals, making them stronger (HP, Dmg, AtkRate, Max Number).
F2: Ancient’s Anger, Boost your Enhancing enchantments (weapons spell in GW1), making them last longer, dealing more contidion/dmg/effect.
F3: Master’s Possesion, Boost your stats of your dmg/AoE/chains skills (Channeling in GW1).
F4: Ancient’s Gift, Boost your itens spell given stats, skills. (Hold itens like warrior banners, but being Deity’s Idols, Hero’s Flags, Ancient people stuff on the ground)

Weapon sets: Staff, Scepter(main/off), Focus(main/off), Sword(main), Horn(off), Torch(off).
(I could create a whole sets os skills for each one, but not now, and using Focus and Scepter main/off would be huge appeal for the class)

Armor: Light

Skill types:
1, Summoning: Name tells all. “Summons ancient spirits themselves”.
2, Enhancing: Boons that can be applied to characters that are currently with the spefic boon weapon. “Ancient spirits empowering our nowadays battles”.
3, Discharge: AoE, Damage, Ligthting like effect(channeling in GW1). “Their anger shall posses me”.
4, Gift: Itens that are dropped on the groud and can be picked. (Like banners or ranger Spirits). “Their legacy still lives, honor them”.
5, any suggestions, if needed?

MECHANICS: KURZICK/LUXON
Why: Dont need to answer, right?

OVERALL: COMMENTS and LORE

Cantha, the lost continent, with its entrance sealed long time ago. The ancient Luxon/Kurzick that were once enemies, have fought their ways to the Jade Sea depths, next to The Deeps, while the other made their way into the roots of Urgoz Warren. On their cities, just a few survive in small groups, always protecting themselves from the menacy on the North.
Zhaitan may have been defeated, but it seems Orr was just the beginning, Cantha’s old cities are still infested with risen, forgotten afllicted bosses that survived the human hunt on Shiro’s legacy and small outcast from antique clans of the lost continent, like the Am Fah and Jade Brotherhood.
Into the Chaos of Cantha, the Tengu have prayed for many years to retake their former glory. Their chance rose once celestial beings sent out their envoys to be born amongst their workshippers. Their newborn champions and live-deities now walk amongst their clan. Their beliefs are stronger than ever and they fight their way to the top, re-conquering ancient temples long lost, restoring old deities and sanctuarys. They are now the strongest oppose force on Cantha to dragons. Their new facet now makes human villagers, Luxon elder leaders and Kurzick highest ranks to team up with them. They represent hope in Cantha, something long lost in the last century.
Choose you parentship with the celestial envoys, grow their legend, make yours.

Cantha, Tengu’s First Stand, soon in a teather next to you (oopps, gone too far, right)

FEEDBACK BRO, What u think? Player? Dev?

My main char is a Charr/Whispers.
Already finished story mode, and i hated it to the very core. Lots of nonsense mission and dialogues.

Now im playing a Norn/Vigil.
Current at the beginning of Orders requests. Im very much satisfied and happy with the sense and logic on the quests so far.

Any of you feel the same?

I agree with the things u said, and would like to add some stuff:

Lets start with premisse that GW2 is suppose to be a fun game, like all add, trailers and interviews keep saying.

What is fun for you? for me? for them? for anyone?

I say fun is do what u like just by the pleasure of joy. When u play as a child u have fun, for example.

In real life, we have fun by doing what makes us happy, and things makes us happy cause they reward us in some points, being it social, monetary or even by helping others. The feeling when make the difference, and then is recognized for it makes life fun. In the job, in your house, in vacation, all of them give u fun if u do a thing u like and are reward for that.

Fun: Do what u want + Rewarded for that + Recognized

In GW2 since BETA NCSoft and Anet keep saying that this is a game about fun, about your story, about what u want in a game, with no pressure to do things in rush, just enjoy the moment.

I’m sure every single soul that paid 80$ to get the game expects to have fun.

Iv been playing from Head-start. Didnt get hacked nor anything like that, always could log-in as much as i wanted.

So lets talk about Fun in the game:

1) When we do what we want, we end up feeling like idiots, cause we dont gain absolute nothing for it.
Example:
Fun: I want to kill monsters and discover places while leveling up.
Reality: If u dont do DE one after another, farm Hearts and 100% maps, ur not leveling up. Explore dont mean following a trail of icons in the map, that would be “visiting” or something like that. Explore is involved with discovering what u want, the time u want, the way u want. I created an alt yesterday and just gone to exploring at killing mobs as i wanted. The result is that u level up in a terrible way. Trapped at low levels for hours. If i follow EXACT what the game command me (hearts, SP, POI) then i will level up in a normal way.

So, wheres the fun? U removed “mark quests” and add MUST DO hearts. Its the same feeling of being forced to do content.

2) When u reach lvl 80, and want to make money, or skins, or even collect something, u cant just do what u want or you will be getting to nowhere.
I had just did a 1 hour chain of events in Orr (the highest lvl map) and the chest rewards me with a couple blues/greens.
If we wanted blue/greens we would get it in a few minutes killing random Risen far from the event.
So we do what we believe its fun (in this case a good Orr chain) and get a reward that we would get by doing a totally not fun thing.

So the game is rewarding those that do EXACTLY what the MAP ICONS order to them.
The game is rewarding those who GRIND endless the SAME ACTIVITY.

That’s how it’s going.
I’m a former GW1 player and im very disappointed with GW2 being so “greedy” with itself. We can only feel “progress” if we follow what DEV has commanded us to do. Anything else is considered “not fun, not worthy”.

I sure im not the only one who really liked when defeating a campaing and receiving a perfect AND unique skin reward. (yeah, perfect and unique)
Im sure we miss leveling all the way from lvl 1 just doing the campaign(story mode).
Im sure we miss not worrying about doing a hard thing, cause we could be sure we would receive an “even” reward for it.

I look forward to this game, once i believe u are GW2, and by being so, u will implement the fun factor of the first series into this game.
Thanks

GW2 im still waiting for some immersion in the characters.

Im a DPS Ranger with full Exotic Berserk gear.

For that decision, i tried every Rune/Sigil/Stat u could possibly imagine. It was a whole day testing builds on sPvP Golems and matches.

Weapon: Shortbow
Sigil: 5% Damage
Off-Hand: Axe/Horn or Axe/Torch
Why: AoE(Axe), Buff(Horn), PvE leveling (Torch)

Armor/Jewel Set: Berserker
Rune: Ranger/Scholar/Ogre/Thief (Order of power, Left to Right)

Race: Charr
Why: “Roar” affect pet and allies Critical and Damage. No cast time or animation.

Pets: Feline/Ursine (Lynx, Jungle Stalker, Brown, Arctodus)
Why: DPS, Tank, Condition Stack, Condition Removal

Traits lvl 80: 30 / 30 / 5 / 0 / 5

Indeed i see not much rangers there and there.
Indeed i saw the huge bug list.
Indeed we dont have OMG skill.
Indeed GW1 ranger has more options.

BUT…….im a ranger. 80 full exotic full world.

I tried every other class on sPvP and other classes on Stress Test.

Im just complaining about the “Opening Strike” bug.

I may be crazy, but i sometimes think someday the ranger will be nerfed.

OK, now u can call me crazy.

Love my ranger, my enemies dont love me ^^

Feline’s: Santa Claws
Canine: Puppy
Drake: Josh
Shark: Shark’quile O’Neil
Bear: Pooh

snowybell.8017:

You would want to get more power than precision later on in the game though.

100% correct.
For real DMG over REAL TIME (not only burst, but over time).
2 options:

Berserker Shortbow build 30/30 marks/skirm
Berserker Shortbow build 30/30 skirm/tough

This in terms of DMG.

And NO, the 2 skill Longbow seems GOOD but the overall of the weapon speed cant keep up with Shortbow.

Brains > Brawls
Peace

tenchikun.8360:

As an added note and bump: Trying to keep me and my pet balanced so my neither of us is out damaging the other. Its tough to do but it keeps me and my pet alive this way without sacrificing dps. I feel it’s a great balance and I can’t wait to see how it fairs in pvp.

tip: in lvl 80, with 30/30 marks/skirm and 0 Beats. Your Feline WILL outmatch you NO MATTER what u do. Cond, Dmg, Crit, doesnt matter. In terms of DMG Feline 80 pets are the real deal.

As a ranger lover. I believe all our weapons can do nice.

Axe main: The instant bleed stack and numbers of targets makes it a perfect swap weapon.

Horn: Buffs, i love buff.

Torch: PvE with this till 50 so so. ITS GREAT in easy PvE while completing maps. Axe/torch take a 5 foe group very easily for non-aoe class.

Shorbow: Cant say much, best weapon in all game for me.

Longbow: HEY! 2 skill is just WOOOOPPP GANGNAM STYLE. Destroy your enemies with 2 skill, swap to short, finish it. Its a great weapon in WvWvW cause of “Arc shoot”. Try getting gates and foes on the wall with short. U can, but its hard. Try doing with longbow: AWESOME!!!
And mam: when u are on that dungeon/WvWvW/PvE part where theres 10 enemies. U pull one, the others come. Once they activate your trap. you plus other rangers BARRAGE! the dmg + crippling make it a PERFECT weapon to combo with Ele, Necros, Guardians, wherever can do AoE dmg.

Brains > Brawls

Stice.5204:

All 4 spirits are very weak.

The other 3 shouts are very weak.

The other 2 signets are very weak.

Couldnt disagree more.

Spirits: Can be used to lure away mobs(yeah they agroo), while giving DMG output to WHOLE team, and preventing them from “SUPER HIT” in dungeons or champions (protection one). I have use them with sucess in a lot of situations, u just need to be creative.

Shouts: Please, test them. (I think the “Search and Rescue” could use less CD) I cant make my build without “Sick EM”, it is just great. When i see other rangers saying “nah, it does nothing” i think “have their ever tested the difference”.

Signets: If u combine them with last Marksman Trait you can build a very tanky character. I always use them to RUN/JUMP.P.

I believe what is happening with the complaint about Ranger here is that some still didnt actually what the combination of the skills can do.

Yeah, we dont have any “jealous” skill. But we have a good combination of them.
I would say Ranger is a very creative class.
And that its a 8/80, or u OP, or su ck!

Peace

Seras.5702:

Quickening Zephyr is incredible. Other than that….hmm…….Yea, the utilities need some creative love.

Traps are great, but need to create more combo fields (I’m thinking dust trap [blind/smoke] or flash-bang trap [confusion/light]).

Signets are woefully underpowered compared to every other profession’s signets.

Shouts are lackluster afterthoughts (I never use them).

Spirits are squishy and aren’t worth the spot on a skill bar.

Survival skills are quite nice actually.

Man, if u really having this experience, u should change class. Its very clearly to me that u arent “getting the mojo” with Ranger.
Be strong is totally about finding your playstyle.

Peace

Oh, and the Marksmanship last Trait “Signets also affect you” seems silly, but i tested it and OMG. Its SUPER AWESOME!!!
Im main Ranger, lvl 80 full map, full exotic, going for The Dreamer, i have experienced some GOOD builds:

-30 / 30 / 5 / 0 / 5 – Best DPS/Berserker Set + Feline (you u will die a lot, ppl keep saying this to me. I answer: are u noob?)

Yes, i dont die a lot, i do dungeons, i do champions, i do WvWvW AND sPvP with this build.
TIP: Timing and posiotioning. Time your cooldowns, evades and burst. This is a 8 /80 build. Or u do great or u “noob”.

5 / 0 / 25 / 25 / 15 – Signet/Shout/Spirit Build – Use this if u want to support and NEVER get down. Dont read and think “this wont work”. Try the traits and skills. U can be surprised with the utility with some “medium text” traits and skills.

0 / 0 / 20 / 30 / 30 – Signet/Shout/Spirit Build – Very similar to the one above. But grants great DPS with it. Equip yourself with 2 Bear pets and let them do the dmg while u help your team with spirits, mob agroo, buffs and revives.

Those 3 build i listed above have at least 6 variations each. Just swap the skills and u get yourself a whole new character.

TIP: Changing skills in dungeons is GREAT and a MUST if u want to really make difference. In each dungeon run, even the easy ones. I tested those builds. The best result is not on the build, but how u use it. Creat strategies, be creative.

Ranger is the best class for me. I’ve tried some alt but cant get distanced from the Ranger, the difference in general “creativeness” is just too great.

Atm im Engineer, liking it and believeing is a very creative class as well. BUT, Ranger > All. And i can say this cause you u are here u are Ranger

Peace

TIPS: Spirits make a HUGE difference in DUNGEONS.
ALL OF THEM!!!!

I have NOTHING to claim as a ranger. Actually, i dont like the Charr/Medium options i have, just the cultural T3, which is expensive. The rest is COOOL.

Im sorry for haters.
I agree ranger’s dont have OP WOWWWOWOWO! skills……….but
the combination of the “medium” skills + PET is something worth.
No other class can “THINK” of match a Ranger output/DPS damage.
Atm im with Berserker Exotic full Jewel/Set/Weapon and i do CRAZY dmg.
I see other 80’s classes using 10 skills on the mobs and lets say 50% life dmg.
I just attack with my pet while not even paying atention and i kill it faster than any class.
If i burst the “medium” utility skills i kill any Veteran in seconds.
This without saying u have a permanent and SWITCHBLE tank.
I tried ALL i could DO! The only BUILD that matches a FELINE against a Heavy Armor sPvP golem is Shortbow/Berseker stats.
So please, dont say ranger is weak or is “missing” something.

WE ARE THE GOLD CREAM OF THE PIE!

Peace

Oh, and when i saw HoM on GW hotsite. I had only 5 HoM points. I got back to GW1 then and finished all business i had to get the 30/50.
Its hard, it takes time, it takes dedication, and MONEY.
U dont played it? Buy and play it then.

None of them are usable. They are weak actually. No feline(sigh) nor bear(sigh). I played and spent A LOT of time on GW1. We (gw1 players) that have got to 30 HoM points KNOW how hard we worked for that. So no, u cant have them. Its only for US.

Peace

Shortbow user as well.
Already made some report on this issue. Its nor working at all.
Neitheir mine nor pets.

A shame, 1 week ago it was perfect.

I agree with 50%.
The foes indeed have SUPER HP/DMG output, wich is annoying. Not cause its hard, but cause u cant USE your skills effectivelly.
If can actually COMBO your skills to find a good way to fight some foes that FUN.
If no matter what u do, u die the same way, its boring. It says “no matter if ur smart or dumb, strong or weak” u will beat this situation once u have died sometimes.

The dream dungeon is combination of HARD/STRATEGY.
Its super-hard, but if ur group is smart u can make your way. Cause beating stronger mobs with INTELLIGENCE is REWARD for putting effort in your build.

Peace

2 days ago i was at same situation. I guess u should check if its 100% on WvWvW maps.
The SP u dont have it PROBLY one bugged that u forget was bugged.
TIP: POI’s dont appear you u dont have their “area” so maybe u miss some hidden caves in any map. Check GW2Codex to compare areas in the maps.

PvP and Dungeons do not count. Story POI’s do count but u can get them by the exp area as well.

Already knew most of it. But NICE list. With the proper edit it should be made Official.

I like the “rescaling” but i believe it should be improved.
I still kill them VERY EASY.
3 shoots at a low level is enough for me to kill any creature.
And i dont get NOTHING for doing it, Level Adjustment Drops is a lie. Never happened. Neither with Map Completation, farming, DE or Dungeons.
I believe u can maintain it but rewarding u for that as well or remove if its useless.

Awesome! if all off us support this to be every day on top we could get a real answer on it perhaps.

But that makes they profit for a month and then loose the account. Its still pretty rentable for an AFK player.

If u will trasmute every armor u get using T1/T2 u MUST be rich lol.
So, only RICH ppl can suit up like its RACE??
Normal cultural stuff please.

What i believe we lack is “Normal” Cultural skins. I played all chars so far. And the human one is the only that seems “human”.
If u notice the NPC’s all have their normal/ugly/beauty/elite armor but it is Cultural related.
U create a Charr, for example, and wear Coat, Pants and Gloves. GW1 and GW2 ALL the NPC chars arent like this. They have normal cultural stuff.
We can trasmute cultural skin to our exotic indeed. But just 2 “fair” transmutes are available.
With human u have TONS of Cultura skin in the whole game.
The other races just dont.
Norn/Charr dont wear cloth. Neither Sylvari, they wear PLANT, not metal.

VOTE: More “normal” cultural skins. Available at least once by 10 level. So u can feel any progressing while u play the game. And IF u want elite, u save the 30g thing.

I may be telling a hyper hard thing to do, but:

1/2 Story quest/lvl would disappear with 80% of grinding till lvl 30. When we have the first dungeon.
Some being repeatable(like daily, or mission based, bud bound to story instance)
Additional Objectives, with additional rewards.
Its easy to have fun doing whatever u wanna do. But early in low levels u already see yourself in “must grind” hole. Where the low level areas start to getting repetitive. U cant beat stronger areas nor do story OP/OL quests.
Every thing we do is already rewarded with exp. But the amount may be adjusted. If a player likes to kill huge mobs of (drakes, whatever), he can do it and gain good experience.(its nor Grind if u like it)

General Point is:
We should be able to level up forward in a constant way doing whatever we want. Not only the preset map/heart/DE/story u set up for us. They are nice, but perhaps we dont want to repeat them in every character we make.
You changed the “quest icon” must have. But then add another “must” activitie to level up. Its pretty much the same feeling we have while playing, that we CANT go forward doing what we want, but only what DEV wants.

Peace

Yeah, sry for that. I got involved in some other threads. Already have 3 long posts of tips and add-ons tought.
Peace
