Guild Wars 2

I was also disappointed to find out we can’t sit in chairs. Surprising considering that we can interact with SO many other items in game.

Server transfers are still free.

I honestly feel like people who find GW2’s combat to be ‘boring’ aren’t using their abilities to their fullest.

My friends and I have had tremendous amounts of fun matching up different spells to create powerful combos. It’s amazing how well the professions complement each other and it makes me sad that it seems to be going unnoticed. (I feel like a lot of people ignore things like combo fields, weapon swapping, and sort of just spam the highest dmg spell they have.)

GW2’s combat can be simple and easy if you play that way, it can also be extremely engaging and fun if you take the time to really explore your spells and the synergy you can create with other classes.

I’m a staff fangirl.

Im assuming youre in melee range or close to it If you’re suing Sw/Pistol so Im definitely going to say staff. You can use it at any range, pump out tons of clones and you get all the defensive abilities. Plus chaos storm is just yummy for melee range.

If you pick GS you have to worry about being at max range all of a sudden. I really only like GS for huge dragon DEs. Staff all the way for everything else.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but having a full set of epics in vanilla wasn’t a very hard task. There was literally no skill involved when it came to 40 man raids. There hardest mechanics were decurses and knock backs for crying out loud, and everyone had addons that did half their button mashing for them. How many people were afk or not would determine whether or not you downed a boss in vanilla, so lets stop pretending. And if you truly had the hand of rag like you claim it’s because your guild decided you could, and tossed you the ingots. That wasn’t based on any skill on your part.

Now! As far as your OP:

LFG – I agree that the LFG tool could be looked at. I would like to be able to check off which dungeons / modes I am interested in so all can see. However, I do not want a system that throws me together with random people and ports us to the dungeon.

Inspecting – Nothing good comes from character inspects. Nothing and your reasoning as to why it’s desired is the perfect example really as to why it should never be allowed. It promotes elitism. It creates cookie cutter builds, and allows jerks to ridicule others.
If you are interested in ‘screening’ your group mates, then play with guildies.

Builds – Agreed. We should be able to save our builds.

Disagree. I hated it in wow, and it would hate it even moreso in gw2.

Why would you want to rush to 80?

Joshmans.8937:

What about just for legendaries?

Makes sense considering how much they cost to make and the time needed to get all the pieces for them. 1 extra damage is abit, silly. Give them a decent damage boost imo.

You’re not getting it.

ANet doesn’t want a to create a gear treadmill. Enough MMOs already have them. They’re boring, tedious and require you to keep playing and updating your gear just to keep up with everyone else.

GW2 was made to be a game you can pick up and leave whenever you feel like it. It is not meant to be a second job. That is why the gear upgrades in gw2 are purely cosmetic and more importantly..optional.

Pretty sure gear tiers go agasint ANets entire philosophy and will never be added.

As for myself? No I do not want to see this added. There are plenty of games that have it already and we don’t need another.

Totally against this idea.

We need distinction between the classes. Especially since the combat in this game is so visually dependent on our characters and not our UIs.

Also don’t care about speed, i just want a nice big dark horse to gallop around on xD

I’m a sucker for more customization always but even I have to agree that a warrior in a dress would look stupid.

I’m against this idea.

Why do you need to run backwards?

Vlaxitov.5693:

I’m almost done with one of three dungeon sets I want for different spec set ups.

I’m nowhere near thinking about even starting the legendary grind yet.

I want to grind out some gold to buy gems for account upgrades.

I’d like to level up and gear some alts when all that is done.

If those aren’t carrots, I don’t know what is.

The point the OP was making is that these carrots are optional. GW2 doesn’t have a huge gear gap between their tiers like so many other games so we aren’t forced to constantly upgrade to stay afloat. We can drop and pick it up as we feel, and that’s a really great thing. Games shouldn’t be like jobs.

Ridley.3691:

I know it was ANet’s intention to bring endgame to all levels, but the side-effect of that is that upon reaching level 80, you don’t really unlock -anything-. Pretty much all level ranges have access to Events, Hearts, Skill Challenges, Vistas, sPvP, WvW, even world bosses, which is great, but it makes level 80 feel empty.

The levels in this game are meaningless, yes, as intended. ANet was originally not even going to add levels.

Ridley.3691:

I mean all we really unlock are dungeons and new zones to travel in, but it would be nice to add something new that only level 80s could do

Why? All this does it encourage people to rush to max level. It also creates a conflict between those who’d enjoy this proposed max level content, and those who want to see more DEs, vistas, etc. The dev team would be split and one or both areas would be neglected.

Ridley.3691:

once getting to 80, getting decent gear and getting 100% world completion, there’s not much else to really do (beyond grinding for even better gear).

There is plenty to do. You do what you’ve been doing for 80 levels: whatever it is you enjoy about gw2.

Why do people act as if once they ding 80 the entire world of tyria has closed off to them?

People are always going to compare games there is no getting around it.

Besides, we can’t just ban every word that might start a flamewar.

Whats the rush to 80? Everything you do at level 80 and can do at level 1.

Gw2 is all about the journey. I don’t think ANet should be encouraging rushing through 1-79.

Gold star is frustrating as a mesmer since it doesn’t show up on any of my clones. =/

Agreed.

/signed

I think the system is great the way it is. I hate mmos where I have to relearn my class every x amount of levels because I’ve received a crapload of new abilities.

I want to know my utility bar like the back of my hand and learn new ways to apply them as the situation changes. And I still get to unlock the slot skills and create a custom bar. best of both worlds imo.

It’s called balance. We simply don’t need it.

Mesmers are amazing.. I am having literally 0 issues killing 4-5 mobs at 1 time with my staff / sword/focus . I can pump out endless illusions with my staff.

Stealth time is limited because it’s very powerful and you’re supposed to use it strategically.

Theifs are VERY strong already and don’t need a permanent stealth.

Everyone loves hoods. Period.

Heavy, medium and light armor wearers need more of them.

Immune? No.

More Resilient? Sure, I would agree to that.

Great post! We need more positivity on these forums.

I really have no idea how people can be bored with this game after only a month and a half.

Also:

there’s no rush

I wish more people understood this.

Honestly, I feel like if your the type of person that skips the scenery then GW2 may not be the game for you.

Actually, no it doesn’t.

With a little bit of teamwork, and planning ahead (before a pull) and communication the dungeons really aren’t that difficult.

No offense meant, but your idea sort spits in the face of anets whole plan.

I wholeheartedly agree with the OP.

Having a multi guild system makes absolutely no sense when you don’t allow synergy between guilds. The only thing the current system is creating is jealousy and conflict between friends.

I love the all the ideas suggested in the OP, but at the very least anet should allow us to see more than 1 guild chat. I think that would be a great start, and maybe ease a little bit of the pressure that us guild leaders are feeling.

1. Sure. Logging out in combat..whatever. I can see how it could be exloited but it doesnt really bother me.
2. No. I’m in combat 99% of the time I’m in game. I’d never get to farm nodes if we suddenly couldn’t in combat.
3. Yes, aggro needs to be reworked. ANet dropped the ball with this one especially since they claim to have worked so hard to fight greifing. This can be used to grief others easily.

Big fat no to inspecting.

Commander icons should be disabled in cities and maps that aren’t wvw related.

It creates clutter and if there are a couple of them grouped up they actually block important icons on my map.

Sparkie knows whats up. +1

Also would love to have this option as well as some make up options.

This is still happening today

=/

Lol tosha that’s what I did this weekend. Personal story is very fun with friends.

People who are trying to play this game like wow are getting burnt out /bored and the people who are playing it like gw2 are still loving every minute.

+1 Gehenna. Wonderful post.

Ok just checking, sorry.

I’ve seen alot of these guys too, I assumed it was fine. I’d like to know how to report them as well. XD

Is it considered botting?

Is that against the rules?

I don’t understand what the issue is here.

How has the game changed so drastically?

You want a gear grind?

Legendaries.

Get crackin’

1. Mermaid costume for underwater fun! Comes complete with tail and seashell bra.
2. More town clothes like gowns.
3. Race change. (comes with personal story reset)
4. Name change.
5. Appearance change.
6. Dances.
7. Hairstyles.

GW2 allows too much “cyber stalking”.

It is far too easy to see what someones account name is, which characters they play, when they’re on-line, etc. All without permission to have that information.

1. I think I should be prompted if someone wants to add me to friends and I should be able to deny the request for them to follow me.

2. I also want to be able to log in invisible. Currently I appear online as soon as I hit the character select screen and I already have whispers when I load in game.

3. Also, the game currently updates the zones I’m in while I’m appearing offline. Making it extremely obvious that I’m actually online, just ignoring everyone. The game should stop doing this.

I can’t be the only one humming “part of your world” while underwater because ANet you made it SO believable that I was!

My suggestion is to add mermaid costumes to the cash shop for underwater fun! The costume should hide that icky breathing device, include a tail and maybe a seashell bra? xD

Thanks

Yes, I’m serious.

It makes sense that they’ve given more time for this feature considering all the problems people are having.

Imagine how frustrated you’d be if you took the time to grind hom to reserve a name and then you couldn’t log in and create your character at launch to due being hacked or one of the other launch issues we’ve had. Only to have your named wiped clean and given to someone else.

I would just close it but I cant find the ticket anymore.

I put in a ticket thinking I was hacked, turns out I wasn’t please disregard. It was jsut a server hiccup or something and I jumped the gun!

<3 U ANet

The respawn rate in this area needs to be looked at.

4-5 mobs are spawning on top of me 5-10 seconds after i killed the first few even when I am the only one around.

It seems as soon as I am done looting mobs spawn again and i cant even seem to move to a different area until i die and port out.
