I’d like to be able to open stacks of the current festival crate at the same time. Same goes for unlocked black lion chests.

Marjory's Journal... Preferred a Jade ticket.

I liked it. Hopefully they will let us expand on it in the future by adding out own cut scenes from vista, story, and dungeons.

Buying stacks from vendors

Can this be done?

I’ve tried every command I can think of — ctrl, alt, and shift click/drag. click both mouse buttons, click with a panic, click with frustration.

If not, how about alt-click? Alt-drag splits stacks, seems like alt-click would be a easy to guess command for buying stacks.

I like the journal. Granted, I probably won’t use it much but being able to go back and watch a clever cut scene I’ll probably never see with any other character is a good thing.

However, I’d prefer it be tweaked a little. Instead of Marjory’s Journal how about My Personal Journal where I can keep the cut scenes from the dungeons, main story, special events, and vistas of my choice for quick reference and screen shots.

I’ve always found achievements in general to be pointless time wasters. They rarely add anything to the game but grinding.

Your decision to add gear rewards to them is a good start but I’d like to go further.

I’d like to be able to buy weapon skin tickets for events that have come and gone.

Currently I’ve opened what seems like a bazillion dragon chests and have nothing but taffy to show for it. I’m sick of it but I still want at least one of the dragon themed skins.

Make GW 2 More Like World of Warcraft!

World of Warcraft represents the classic MMO formula. I found this formula to be highly punitive towards it’s own customer base. Considering the vast amounts of people with the same snotty, impatient, and hostile attitude I sometime wonder how this genre still exists.

ANet took deliberate steps to remove as many of the elements of the classic formula that caused so much anger. If you want to use World of Warcraft as a reference for anything its what not to do.

Remove WvW From Map Completion

Terrin.2685

I was not at all happy to find out I’d have to do WvW just to complete this element of the game.

It felt like it was tacked on just to force players to go do WvW. Most people already know what parts of the game they are interested in before they start.

I agree.

Making those guild standing scrolls account bound like the potions are would be great. However, I’ll settle for changing “soulbound to another character” to “soulbound to <character name>”.

The Legendary Quest

Terrin.2685

Sound like a good start to me.

It reminds of some elements of World of Warcraft back when it was fun.

There was a series of quests designed to test a players grasp of their class abilities. The Paladin quest the rewarded Verigan’s Fist was a challange. It was also a rewarding and satisfying experience. Perhaps those old quest could serve as a foundation or influnce for a rework of the legendary weapons system.

The only thing legendary about what is currently there is the grind.

Alternate for some legendary weapon materials

in Suggestions

Posted by: Terrin.2685

Terrin.2685

There are a couple of elements of the legendary weapons that may prove near impossible for some people.

Badges of Honor from WvW
I don’t like PvP. I’m no good at it. And even on days when I do well I still don’t find it fun. I doubt I’m alone. While I could run a dozen or more characters through those maps for the explore bonus it would be a very long and boring job.

Dungeon seals
There are a few problems I see with this requirement.
1. No group finder – All this means is it could take longer to find a team then it would take to run the dungeon. gw2lfg.com isn’t much help. Some don’t know about it, others don’t want to have to alt-tab out of the game to find a team. I want to play. I do not want to stand around spamming lfg or go to a 3rd party service for a feature you should have made available on release.

2. Player attitude – as time goes by the chance of joining a team that has the dungeon memorized rises. They expect you to as well. And if you don’t it far too often devolves into arguing and insults. World of Warcraft was ruined for me because I allowed that poisonous attitude to get to me even despite the fact that it wasn’t usually aimed at me. I like Guild Wars 2 and I want to keep it that way.

Both of these elements combine to lower the enjoyment of the experience. Setting this up to force customers to do something they don’t want to do and won’t like isn’t a very well planned tactic.


“You don’t have to get a legendary weapon” is not an answer. Its a brush off and kind of insulting. Also, there is nothing at all about these weapons that is legendary. Its pure grind for fancy artwork.

All I’m asking for is an alternate grind.

Partial completed dailies

Terrin.2685

I see no reason why dailies should be restricted to one day. The arguements I’ve seen against are weak at best. You seem to basing the entire argument on just the name. Some have even come up with convoluted and complicated ways to tally partically finished dailies.

Why make it so hard? It hurts nothing if some people complete them at a slower pace. Stop relying so much on the name at look at them for what they offer. These “dailies” are other tasks the developers have provided for their customers to do. I don’t see how they are any different from any other quest that could take a hour or a week to finish.

I’m all for Towndrunk.9562’s idea. Allow the “dailies” to be finished over an indefinite period of time. While your at it it might be wise to change their name to something that doesn’t suggest a time limit.

variety of medium armors for female

Terrin.2685

I ended up buying the medium armor skins from the black lion trading company. And have found there is nothing in the light armor choices that I like for my elementalist. Or anything in the heavy armor for my defender so I have her using the armor from the hall of monuments.

More options across the board, please.

explorable mode dungeon access

Terrin.2685

I would like to see explorable mode unlocked account wide for all characters after one character does story mode.

There are a couple of reasons I would like to see this happen.

First, it appears to me a lot of people seem to have decided story mode once and the explorable mode forever more …. oh wait, fractals are open …. forget the rest this is all i’m doing now.

I’ve had a lot of trouble getting into the story mode dungeons. I’d like to see them at least once. Granted, my luck has somewhat improved recently. I suspect this might be partly due to the monthly not having any PvP requirements this month. Still haven’t been able to get into any dungeons I haven’t seen yet.

Second, the only reason I would have any other character enter these dungeons is to gather tokens I need to pay for legendary weapon parts from the dungeons vendors. The grind for those weapons is going to be painful enough without having to do a story mode dungeon as an entry fee to get where I need to go.

Please Reconsider Legendary Weapons

I’m gonna throw my name on the change the legendary weapons list.

With all the effort ArenaNet made to fix long standing issues with MMO’s (loot stealing, resource node stealing, etc) its disappointing they embraced grinding to such an extent that its the main part of getting a legendary.

What I would like to see in an epic quest. Do you remember the quest chain to get Verigan’s Fist quest chain for Paladin’s in World of Warcraft? Something like that is what I would want to see as the way to aquire legendary weapons.

A unique quest for each class that spans the entire game world. The more challenging the better.

Guild Wars gear

I saw the armor patterns in the Black Lion Trading company that came from Guild Wars. Its been great to get my favorite ranger armor back.

Can we get more of them brought forward?

Maybe getting the community involved in deciding which heavy, medium, light, and costumes are brought forward would help increase sales. Seems like using this thread as an informal pole where people pick one of each would be the easiest thing to do.

My votes are for;
Heavy – Elite Templar
Medium – Drakescale
Light – Flameforged
Costume – Shining Blade

Anyone else want to see some of the old gear make a return?

However, some of the pets in Guild Wars were obsurd when full size. I do not want another phoenix.

A ranger has been my main in both games. So I’d love to see this too.

But they didn’t do this with the original Guild Wars so its doubtful they will do it in Guild Wars 2.

I’d love to see paragons again. That was one of my favorite classes. I figure chances are good since the girl that tells you have to use the forge in Lion’s Arch is a paragon.

Please reenable gear preview

Terrin.2685

I noticed that the ability to preview any piece of gear on any character has been removed.

Please restore this feature.

I have a ranger trying to achieve 100% world completion. As she goes I find several karma heart vendors that sell gear.

I have a guardian and elementalist that will never reach 100% world completion. However, I’m having a hard time find gear with art that I would like them to wear.

The ranger would be ideal to act as a model. This would allow me to see appearance of the other items sold by the karma heart vendors. Knowing this would give me and others greater options on customizing our characters appearance.

Thank you.

City clothes

Not many people using these outfits. Here is a few ideas that might help improve their use and sales.

1. Taking damage is the cities does not revert to combat gear while in the cities unless you actually engage in combat. ex. the lost isles crab creature attack in Lion’s Arch.

2. Perment 10 – 20% speed boost in cities while wearing city clothes.

3. class themed outfits.

4. profession themed outfits that offer a manufacturing bonus to XP, manufacturing progression, and/or a slight chance at rare instead of normal items.

5. Alternate racial themed outfits anyone can buy.

To everyone here, please use the Search function

To the OP
If you used the search function you would have found out that the

www.gw2lfg.com

is what they ( arena net ) is putting in the game as a UI come this January and February

This thread is not even needed, making multiple threads saying the same thing about a feature they are already putting into the game is redundant and a waste of space.

If you curious on how the new LFG UI for in game will work go to GW2lfg.com the Moderators said that Arena Net supports this site and will implement it’s tools and ideas in the game.

a forum board as a group finder? I’d rather they not do anything at all. That is one of the laziest ideas for a group finder I’ve seen yet.

I honestly don’t understand why so many MMO developers are ok with releasing their services with no or weak group finders. But to toss in a forum board for finding a group is a lousy idea. Why should I have to go to another website, even through an in game window, to find a group?

I can’t get over just how weak this idea seems. I would rather they add hero units to the game than this.

I hope I’m wrong. I hope this isn’t as lame as it looks. If it is I’ll be blowing off the Destiny’s Edge story line and passing on killing the dragons.

This thread is needed as it helps drive the point home that ArenaNet needs to get a good group finder in the game ASAP.

The 4 day limit is has made this thing useless to me. I only used it on my first character and forget all about it with any new character. Either extend the life span or just dump it.

Global group finder for dungeons

I’d like to see a global group finder for dungeons runs added to the game.

I don’t like having to troll through multiple zones looking for people or having the run come to an abrupt end because someone left and we can’t find a replacement.

Ideally the group finder would allow us to indicate if we are looking for story mode or explorable mode and which path in explorable we are looking to do.

…that the banker golem was one use only.

…a better understanding of what was in the collector’s edition. I never would have wasted the money if it did.

…that the gear I thought I was earning in Guild Wars by populating the Hall of Monuments was acutally not gear at all. It is specialized transmutation stones that turn what I have into what I thought I was getting. I certainly never would have wasted all that time if I did.

…how to get to the hall of monuments. I never should have had to go digging around a third party website to find out about the vendor in Lion’s Arch.

…that I would have to pass 75 in manufacturing before leaving the first zone.

…the deposit all collectibles option in the inventory. I found the individual one quick.
