It would be better if we can buy exotic versions of Cultural T3 Armors with stats of our choice like in WvW, saving very rares transmutation stones and helpful exotic pieces, after all we are spending more than 100g…

it would be better if the cultural armors were offered as Skins like the Gemstore and Heritage armors

Totally agreed!

I totally agree about this! That was brilliant! +1

Why do you think a person couldn’t buy the item from all of the gamers then sell it his own way, even by trading? Those who play AH stay there in LA, as it would happen with a free trade system. I certainly doubt you would see people selling and buying all over Tyria, more likely ALL in LA as it was in Kamadan.

To my eyes, so just a personal vision I have, not forcing nor saying anyone agrees, the cons would be:
-Almost everyone would spend most of the time in Lion’s Arch, even more than already happens, for they would have to stay in one place to check all the prices and such…to my eyes it would somehow kill the game. Make the city overcrowded and laggy, need to create Overflows again and making it a real mess, since I don’t see Overflows servers as Districts in GW1.

-People tricking others who don’t know the current price into selling something at a way lower value as I used to see happening in Guild Wars 1, or selling items to some naive person for a significatively higher value.

-Annoying, endless spam, killing any kind of map conversation, most of all given the lack of (Party search) system in the game.

-No one would actually sell on LT anymore, nor buy. Who would be so silly to pay fees when you can sell items for free? Who would buy an item that the seller is supposed to sell for an higher value in order to be repaid of the fees he pays? And if LT won’t be active anymore, for people would not use it, those who now need to quickly make room in inv, while running some areas won’t be able to anymore.

As for pros…the only one I can see is no fees.
Free prices not always help.

You have never wanted to trade items other than currency?

If I got a sweet exotic piece of armor or a weapon that I don’t need I could trade with someone in the same boat.

Got a rune that you’d like on an exotic with no black lion salvage kit?
Trade the item to someone for the rune, and you both make out.

The entire point of crafting in any MMO is to promote a healthy economy.

You maxed weaponsmith, but you still need armor?
Someone else maxed armorsmith but still needs a weapon?

Trade.

Trade Trade Trade.

Not just buy and sell.

The one thing all of you are completely ignoring is that you can’t offer someone 25 leather squares for 10 vials of blood.

You can’t offer someone a weapon for a piece of armor.

You can’t trade someone a batch of cookies if they trade you the ingredients for the dough and the chocolate.

You seriously think there would possibly exist a chance that people would use that only to trade item for item and not turn the market in what I said? That is naive, since half of the people in this game can only think to max their profits, it would only be yet another chance for exploitation.
If you want to exchange the item, sell it and use the profit for buying the other, it is as simple as that.
As for the chance to lower the price of an item. When you have a fee of 35 g means you are selling something extremely rare, that few people are selling as well. It’s not like you have 150000 other people selling that same items like copper ore. I think that whenever you set the price for an item costing hundreds of gold you have to expect it will take weeks or even months to be bought and the choice to take the risk is yours. Otherwise you accept the price offered by the highest buyer and be happy with that money. If there was no fee what would people do? Constanly resetting the item for -1 copper to win each other?

I believe Guardian is perfect enough the way it is, no one has ever complained about “Save yourself”, maybe it’s just my server fellows to be fine with it as long as it is used in the proper contest, though fury and might are something I don’t see for Guardians to provide as much, Warrior’s shout has to provide them, that’s not support a “healer-oriented” profession is meant to give, to my eyes. The buffs we receive from that skill anyhow, go to compensate on our significative lower damage.

I soo totally agree with this! I find it rather sad how we get such a poor choice of longer hairstyles for male characters in this game…even for Norn…
I am not satisfied even of the hairstyle I chose for my main, for it is far from being something I like, it’s just (To my eyes /personal opinion only/) the “less worse” according to my standards, for YES I want my main to have very long hair.
I find it rather annoying how there is such a rich choice of short hairstyles, seriously giving EVERY possible shape of it, while we have just 2 max, longer hairstyles and still not something I would define long, to be honest…just longer than the average.
Honetly, I would really love to have an hairstyle model as the one showed in these pictures, for it would certainly make my character the way I want him to be! I find long hair epic, I know probably many people do not agree with this, but still I know there are many other people that would love to see more options for long hair for males.
Right now, I’m so not satisfied with my character’s hair that most of the time I rather show helmet and cover it totally…and it’s not because I love the look the helmet has…
Besides, I too agree on forehead and ears points! They do not seem at all “balanced”…I think we should have the chance to customize these as well…After all, Sylvari, Asura and Charr have ears size and shape customizable, I believe it wouldn’t be so hard to implement this option for Humans and even Norn as well!
+1 to this all the way! Hope ANet will consider this, for I would pay for kits to give all of my characters a proper hairstyle!

It looks awesome, thank you! And which Sigil would you suggest?

Thank you all, guys! And what do you think about sword? What’s the best off-hand for it? I think torch gives a lot of conditions, not sure if I’m right though.

Thank you! Which runes you’d suggest?

I’m looking for a Staff build. Which runes, sigil and traits. Do I need more power or condition damage?
Please give me some suggestion, kindly.

I love this Elder Dragon, and I’d like to know more about him, if possible.
I find the Elder Dragons mysterious, and awesome! And Kralkatorrik is one of my favorite.

I really do hope they will add these two races as playable, for I believe they will be epic!
About Tengu I would definitely love to be able to give different feather colours to some body parts, like wings…would like to customize beaks as well and tails, some kind of crests as options would be awesome as well! Rather “shading” colours for the plumage I would really love!
As for Largos, I would love to be able to customize “wings”, as their glow, colour and size as well, like thickness and such…

@BlueSoda, just the fact that the game is mainly terrestrial, not giving much reasons to explore the underwater lore as much, should be a reason to add an aquatic race! Besides, I believe that as Blur said, they would be the wisest add, when the Deep Sea Dragon will be added to the game!

I think this would be tremendously cool!!! +1 All the way!

I have been taking a look at forum and for now I didn’t find any thread about this, so my apologizes if I failed to notice any.

Anyhow, this might sound rather silly, but I would really appreciate an option that allowed us to buy items from Gem Store for our friends.

Keep in mind, I am absolutely not saying things sold there shouldn’t be account bound, not at all.

What I was thinking about was, a system that will be like this: as you click on price to buy the item, it will show two options. One to buy it for yourself, normal way and another that will allow you to buy it for a friend….you add the name of the person (That must be a confirmed friend in your friend list, maybe?) and it just delivers the mail with the item to him/her, showing the name of the person who bought the item.

I would really love to be able to make some special gift for a special friend, paid with my real money…since right now my only way to make of these gifts is to send in-game gold of the amount needed to exchange gems…and I would really consider it a more special gift if I could use real money. So, that’s it! It shouldn’t hurt anyone after all! (I guess o.o)

This is probably not of the best ideas, but I’d appreciate not to be insulted for it by those who do not agree. Thanks!

I agree with this, it would be great to have this feature! And I would also appreciate to be able to keep a higher number of PMs sent from my contacts, instead of just so few. It shouldn’t be hard to implement, seeing that you can receive and keep undeleted way more mails sent whenever there is some heart done and such…

I agree, Largos must be a playable race, they are amazing!

+1 for capes all the way!

I too agree with this and with what Blur said. In like 2 days you could already see people at their level 80, speaking of headstart, so no wrong in what I said. By that time most of them certainly tried everything but in the wrong way, doing that as if their lives was going to finish within 7 days. People around already having 3-4 legendaries, already a couple of months ago as if they were totally normal exotics…
What I want to say is, in brief. If people rush end game contents like that, stays at the PC whole day and night in order to achieve things as soon as possible, it is no surprise that soon they get bored, since they couldn’t possibly enjoy that effort. Most of the people that acted this way left the game months ago.
Take it easy, enjoy the game in a healthy way and you will realize that you will not run out of things to do the very same day when these are released.

Give us Cantha pretty pleeeease! -

Thank you for your feedback!

I go for rifle, turrets and flamethrower.
For rifle, I went for Sigil of Force, since I’ve read on forum rifle needs power mostly. Then I put on armor Rune of Fighter(4), for power and toughness, and Rune of Flame Legion (2), for power and burning duration.
I use Healing Turret, Rocket Turret and Flame Turret, then Supply Crate.
I went for 30 on Explosives, 20 on Toughness, and 10 on Vitality.
What do you think about it?

Player Character.9467:

Again, you can already solo a lot of the dungeons. The only issue is this isn’t worth taking that much longer for the same rewards.

You can not! There are barely 2-3 paths all over the game that does not force you into a 5 men team.

It wouldn’t exactly be ‘legendary’ if everyone and their mother have one. Then again, it was never legendary to begin with.

Still this other way you would feel to have achieved something to deserve it, instead of just blind farming CoF path 1 and such.

the solution is simple:
1) implement a set of daily quests for a medium-long term to obtain the precursor. this way players will have the chance to get it. should be dedication and curiosity to reward the players, not the RNG. the fact that developers don’t implement this system is disappointing, and is a symptom of laziness.
2) crafting a legendary weapon requires a legendary hero. there’s nothing legendary to farm COF p1 and buy materials to craft gift. developers may reach more goals at the same time adding new gifts necessary for the legendary weapons that will be obtainable only by participating in daily missions around Tyria. this way there would be a massive presence of players that run the maps in search of the necessary activities to their daily missions and a decline of farming.

crafting a legendary weapon should be a long term goal ,they should limit the ability to grind and diversifying the daily activities of the player, to get more interest and sense of achievement, instead of unlimited grind and frustration

I completely agree with this. Legendaries should rely on something more than just farm, for we all know that as long as any kind of drop or profitable way will exist, will be exploited.
I recall, months and months ago, where you could barely see 2-3 legendaries x server, where you would see a guy with it and think “Woah that guy is a God in this game” now you just go “Meh, there goes another Sunrise.” You spend 10 minutes in LA and see hundreds of people showing their legendaries, both one hand legendary weapons, ranged and melee and such. I don’t feel anything legendary in them any more, to me they are just exotic with a different skin.

I do agree! Right now I really do not see a point in achievement points…Leaderbord is of few matter for me. I think it would be really a good idea to get a precursor as reward for getting an amount of these. To my eyes, it would make the process of getting a Legendary something more worthy, instead of just hard-core farming.

Here my Charr Engi!
Mask and Shoulder from Tier 1 Cultural, in first 2 pics, Heritage coat from HoM rewards, Order of Whispers gloves and Heritage pants and boots (Since I don’t see too much difference with any other kind of medium boots or pants for Charr )
(In case you can’t access HoM rewards) In the third pic, she wears Tier 2 Cultural coat, in addition to the same other pieces as before.
In last pic, HotW coat.

My main character’s name is Maedhros, as I am a huge fan of Tolkien lore and he’s my favourite character all over his books! (And every other book )

I will be boring and repetitive, but what I want the most and I’ll ask out of my lungs now and always is: give male Humans longer, longer hairstyles, PLEASE!!!!

Night for both my Necro and Mesmer!

10/10 I really love your armor, colours as well!
Here’s mine! ^^

I too want dungeons to be soloable, or at least, to allow us to run a path with less than 4 more people. Give us a chance to be teams of 2 people or 3, for those of us who actually have a few trustworthy friends and want to play just with them.
Went to do CoF path 1 with my friend, only we two. Had to just go out of there at some point, despite we were perfectly managing to kill mobs and go on with ease, if it wasn’t that we had no chance to open the gate without more people. Same for CoE, laser part, AC any path, due to burrows to destroy and stuff to defend, or traps in path 2…and so on, just not going to describe all of them here.
I lost will to play dungeons with random and unknown pugs, because people are simply unable to show any sign of civilization (The most of people, that is) and I am sick of raging for nothing, while playing a game that is supposed to be fun. I am sick of people that just go “Idiots/this team sucks/you suck/noobs” as soon as the slightest thing happens, most of all since they are in the most of cases the noobs that don’t do a right thing during the whole run.
I am fed-up of only hardcore farmers playing dungeons, preventing us from having fun or even watching a cinematic, even that! For what? 2 minutes longer the path would take for letting a person watch them? No thanks. I am not free to enjoy the way I like? I won’t run dungeons anymore, despite I love them and I think they are great content. That’s it.

Here my little tiny Devon!

I despise bots and whenever I am truly sure to spot one I do not hesitate to report, as well as I do whenever I receive those annoying gold selling mails, but I do it only when I am totally sure to be in front of one. I can’t help but find it unfair to report someone who does not deserve…so far, I never happened to notice bots on nodes, or I wasn’t able to recognize any..

funkylovemonkey.3097:

Yeah, I’ll be honest I often wonder if people overreact in these situations. I have eight characters, all level 80, but I generally only play one at a time while working on certain goals. I keep the other seven in Frostforge for easy Ori mining which I mine once a day. So if you stand and watch while I’m grabbing nodes, you’ll see all eight of my characters appear right on top of the node (because that’s where I logged them out) within a period of twenty minutes. I’ve never seen the porting/teleport bug that I’ve heard others say bots exploit, but I have played with my wife and seen her character appear and then disappear next to me for no reason whatsoever. Someone who’s feeling a bit overzealous might see these things as suspicious. But I’m not too worried because I assume if an Anet employee did look at my account, it would be easy to see the behavior is entirely legitimate.

This I used to be as well, leaving my two alts in Frostgorge, as long as I did not have any better purpose to dedicate them for!

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Being reported as a bot means nothing without evidence gathered by the ArenaNet employee investigating the report. Just because someone reports a ‘bot’ doesnt mean that ‘bot’ will be automatically banned. ArenaNet checks the logs for suspicious activity, and if a ban is warranted, then that is when action is taken.

I won’t lie, this is exactly what I wanted to hear! What alarmed me, was to see many people claiming to have had their accounts banned for botting with them being innocent. I know that most of people would deny their guilt even in front of evidence, though seeing many around, in Facebook page as well, got me a little worried, so it relieves me to know ANet take proper care of this matter!

tigirius.9014:

nothing to fear there bud. The way these bots teleport is by using a feature in the game in an unnatural way in that they teleport just after they finish that last swing getting that last bit of ore. It’s very noticeable. There is literally no time for them to humanly open up the world map, click on the one they wish to teleport to next and then have a load screen. They just go poof instantly.

You’ll notice it right away if ever you see it.

Many thanks for your feed-back, this reassures me a lot indeed!

RetiredBard.5294:

I can’t speak for everyone, of course, but I don’t report people just for teleporting away from a node. Popping up out of nowhere at a node, immediately gathering, then teleporting away, however, I take as warp-hack behavior and I will report that. Even when I do see someone pop up at a node, I often hesitate to report right away, because there have been times I’ve logged a character off at a node and, obviously, you won’t know if they’re gonna just vanish afterwards, until they do. Usually, though, I will see the behavior repeated at 2 or more nodes within a zone, by the same character.

Thank you for your feed-back! Yours is certainly a rightful and correct behaviour! Though some people scare me sometimes, for I just know not all of them are as reasonable as you are.
On my side, I would truly hate to report someone who doesn’t deserve to be reported…but it’s not a common thought, at least not in my server, for whenever someone would try to be reasonable on this matter, either it would end up with bad words and insults or with silence from the other side.. ._.

I was unsure where to fit this topic the best, so I thought to go for discussion forum, my apologises if I should have sent this one somewhere else…

Anyhow, lately, as travelling around the world, I ended up noticing some phenomenon that “scared” me a little.
People, (Confirmed by what they said in map channel) use to report as bots, those people who “disappear” from some Ore node.
Now…if this game had not implemented Waypoints, I would find it normal to have some suspect towards someone that disappears after getting the material, but as it is not the case, it slightly bothers me in a way.
I found it normal in the past (Since as I got this news I stopped to chase after Orichalcum and such), as map-travelling to get the Ori I needed for my crafting, to just reach the last node, let’s say of Cursed Shore, and then teleport away to the next area, for I certainly wouldn’t run all the way to Frostgorge from there! x) And I honestly have never seen anything wrong in this, for Waypoints exist for a reason and not just to respawn after death! (I assume )

Another thing that worried me is that…while in the past I would read people reporting this behaviour just in level 80 areas, where I assume, one finds the most of the bots, today I happened to see people speaking of reporting someone for teleporting away from a Copper node..in Wayfarer…where again, I find it pretty normal to see a person teleporting away…I mean, given the case people go to do Shiverpeaks kills, as today was in daily, gather what is around and teleport away once done, to go on with gaming…is that really so suspicious?
And how do bots teleport? I mean, once I happened to see a group of bots…a few, naked, level 14 characters dead in water in Frostgorge that never moved from there for quite a long time…they can really be programmed to teleport to Waypoints after gathering a material? o.o

Now this is not a thread I decided to start to really complain about this, what I actually was seeking is some reassuring information about this: If I am reported as a bot, even more than once, just for teleporting away from a node, will I actually risk anything, given that it is totally false?
All the money I own (which is not much, compared to what better players than me got) and ever earned, came from dungeon runs with my friends and just normal playing, bought some bit of gold from Gem Store in Black Lion a couple of times, but no illegal way at all of course, for it’s totally against my beliefs first of all.
So…I can start again to quietly gather my materials, without having to fear “Oh no, did I remember to make a few steps away from the node before teleporting away? O.O” Thank you for reading.

I would give +billions to this post for I agree too much with you! Legendary weapons should come from real efforts and shouldn’t be for everyone! Too many times I saw people saying how easy it is to get a Legendary, “Just from 2 weeks to a month of very hardcore farming and there you have”. I hate this. There is no honour, no pride, no fun and no point in getting a nice skin which just proves you have time to lose and nothing better to do. In my opinion you should be able to craft a Legendary out of achievements, not just world exploration and maxing crafting…also finishing the story should be required as you said, completing dungeons, fight to have one, struggle! Not run 1000000000 times x day a puny CoF path 1 in a team of 4 Wars and 1 Mez…that could be done even by anyone which makes Legendary no legendary, just a different exotic with a nicer skin.

I too am pro-mounts and wish to have some in game! Don’t scream at me, I just find them to give that more “Fantasy” feeling to the game…way more than waypoints and all the Asuran technologies, to be honest…

@NinjaEd.
Kill pet, and Ranger hasn’t it anymore. Every profession has some “Jolly” skills or NPCs to rely on, yet these all can be made pointless by other players, while there is no help against Stealth.

I agree with you. The Dragons events make no sense, for there is few to fight during them. For the most, you go there like “Meh, let’s grab these 20s and go on”…The fight might be funnier, I happened to be fighting the Shatterer in early morning once, where few more than 5 people were there. It actually made some sense as a fight, but for the most of the time, there are way too many people camping there, mostly now that rewards have been increased.
As to make them fail-able..I doubt they could, due to the amount of people that still would make sure the event doesn’t fail, unless they added some random situation where maybe the Dragon just flies away…but that would cause crying and rage for sure…
As for Dragons in story quests, yes make them harder, but fail-able…I don’t know. I would honestly find it pretty frustrating to fail at the end-boss and have to start all over, more of all in The Ruined City of Arah, for you must team up with other people. Though, Zhaitan MUST be buffed, the fight is too lame and MUST be improved, made hard and worthy…I found no fun in killing him, no satisfaction in the end for you feel to have just killed loads of Risen as you could have done while farming Orr.
Being the ED weakened already, I don’t think it would be so unreal to end up in a “land-fight” against him, using proper weapons and skills instead of just clicking to fire the cannon, without even needing to aim nor anything…
Anyhow, +1 to this thread, hope they will take your ideas into account!

I would love so badly to fight Shiro again :| Hope they think about this!

Why all of you crying on how WoW is better do not just go to actually play that, instead of spamming Forum? This is what I’ve been wondering for a while.

I do support this. Or at least, make Karma itself account bound/allow us to deposit it in bank…

I am for capes..if they could make them good enough in GW1 they can make them even better for GW2.

Give Legendaries higher stats and see Elitists asking for people with these only.
