The dungeon leader left and kick everyone out fix isn’t in the suggestion. Unless I missed it.

Thats exactly why I started this thread! Let me know the link and ill add it.

That goes for everyone else too. I’ll be adding Xista’s also if there’s a topic for it that can be linked.

Bump

Please keep this topic active or bump it if you think there should be a main suggestions topic. Or if you find my list.of links helpful, please bump.

Not sure if this has been brought up yet but-

The ability to use transmutation stones for light, medium and heavy for REAL armor customization.

I find this somewhat important. Whether this one is used or if moderators want to take what I’ve done and create their own I don’t care. So long as some kind of main post for suggestions is pinned, that’s my main goal.

that way ideas/suggestions are supported and easy to find instead of hidden away into sub forums or shoved into some obscure spot.

Bump…

The suggestions that matter to the forum community will get the hits and replies necessary to make them relevant, the ones that do not resonate will not.

Creating a sticky defeats the purpose. Just make good suggestions instead.

Everyone can still make their own thread and also add the link to this list.

Think of this as more of a ‘Table of contents’ than a ‘end all be all suggestions topic’.

Please bump or reply to this this if you feel you and everyone else’s voice should be heard.

I want this to be a refrence for people to use for finding, adding and contributing to suggestions that have been posted or not posted. These are just a few I’ve collected so far:

EthanLightheart.9168:

And how’s that gonna look like? The thread vanishes into the sand already again.

True. I guess no one is interested in having more armor customization options. Kinda cant blame them when there mechanics and end game stuff to focus on.

However the fact threads like this are being started proves theres a group of us who do want more freedom in the look of our armor.

im not really talking about a treadmill for gear, there is other types of rewards, things people need for ascended or legendaries, that are tedious to get other ways. New gear, more skill points or whatever.
As far as like progressive content where you have to beat other content, i dont think people mind that, they just dont want to have to tediously gear up for something. After all beating something once is just playing the game.

I think I got another idea as far as tedious/difficult end game content:

Make another map/region that’s purely for end game.
The levels of everything will be 80-90 possibly to 100.
Lots of the creatures will require party’s or some will even require large zergs to kill.

The new area will basically be like gw2 on ‘Hard’ or ‘Insane’ mode.
Like devil may cry, ninja gaiden black, dark souls ect ect
A new area designed for the hardcore players.

I myself like a challenge, especially for end game. This would take away some focus from the normal game but I think 1-79 is amazing already, why not make some hardcore content for the 80’s?

i think the game could benefit from a hard mode, though i think anet is opposed to it. They seem to be very concerned with people staying around low level areas. I think that trying to keep people playing the same low level areas over an over will not help keep things interesting though

Very true… I must say it seems like a good amount of us want some kind of change (whether minor or major). Which is a start, what I’d like to do is start narrowing down what exact changes most can agree on.

It may against what Anet wants but atleast we’ll know what we all want.

It’d really help if I could make a poll on a topic that way everyone could vote on different ideas and suggestions. We need to get 2-6 or so concepts together as a group and then figure out which one is wanted the most and try to push it at Anet.

TChalla.7146:

An idea I’d been throwing around in my head when the CDI: Horizontal Progression topic was in full swing was:

Area Notoriety:

Basically, a player would find a zone that they really liked and would spend a lot of time there doing events, group events and meta events. Each time one of these events was completed, that character (as I think it should be per character and not per account) would get a certain amount of notoriety around that zone.

Now you might be asking “why would I want notoriety in an area?”

The higher the notoriety that character had, the more the NPCs in that area would respond to you. The notoriety could be tiered, so someone with notoriety of zero in an area would be known by any given NPC as “stranger.” As you progress in notoriety, the NPCs would begin to recognize that character, and the text from the NPCs would change according to that fame. Tier 1 Notoriety would maybe say “You’re [insert name], aren’t you?” Tier 2 Notoriety would be “Ahh… [insert name]! Good to see you!” Tier 3 would be more personal. Once you reached Tier 4 Notoriety, you could get the title of “Champion of [insert area name here].”

Well that’s all well and good, Mr. TChalla, but is that really good enough?

On top of actually having the NPCs respond to you favorably with words, perhaps it could also affect any costs of NPC goods in that area.

Tier 0: Cost Reduction of 0%.
Tier 1: Cost Reduction of 2.5%
Tier 2: Cost Reduction of 5.0%
Tier 3: Cost Reduction of 7.5%
Tier 4: Cost Reduction of 10.0%

This would be the cost of all NPC goods in that area only. It could also affect repair costs and waypoint costs in that area as well. TP costs wouldn’t be adjusted (for obvious reasons.) It could also be that anything sold to NPCs in that area would be bumped up by the same margin.

In looking at the numbers above, I don’t see that this would be too game-changing overall. But it’s a little something extra for going into zones not often touch once a character becomes level 80.

Speaking of level 80, notoriety within an area shouldn’t begin in an area unless a character is already level 80. This would help eliminate certain area champ trains from accumulating notoriety from leveling. It would strictly be end-game content… a little something extra for putting in the time/money/whatever to reach level 80.

As I said up front, it was just an idea I’d come up with. Feel free to tear it apart. Hehe

this is an interesting aside, but its not something that someone who has reached max level and done most things would enjoy. Essentially endgame needs to be a little kittenallenging, fun, more epic, and have some type of rewards that high end players want to obtain. It can even be progressive. Say if you have to be one to have access to another, even if it isnt gear progressive.

Here’s the thing though…

Essentially what you’re saying is that people who have reached level 80 want vertical progression. However, in these forums, the opposite is being touted. My idea is horizontal progression really. It doesn’t affect the power of the character in question, apart from a slight monetary potential easement in that zone.

However, for the sake of argument, I suppose you could add in an “area skin” that you could apply to your weapon once you reached Tier 4 Notoriety. I don’t particularly care one way or another. I can hear the “grinding notoriety” cries already though, which is something I was trying to avoid with the idea.

laokoko.7403:

I’m sure developer listens. It just take a while for them to implement things.

And not every suggestion will actually get implemented, for example you said yourself the skill point system you suggest isn’t for everyone.

Very true but (what I’m about to say is what I said in another topic) if we get together as a group and get a good idea of what most of the group wants and then TYPE LOUDLY ENOUGH I think they’ll consider implementing what we’ve come up with.

EthanLightheart.9168:

I like both of your solutionstarters. But obviously that’s of no concern of anet, since they never even bothered giving a simple answer. I got the feeling this won’t change – will be a mystery to me why though… Is that asked too much?

Well I think if we organize into 1-3 topics and discuss it and get a good idea of what we want as a group and then TYPE LOUDLY ENOUGH so the devs can hear our thoughts.

George Steel.1804:

Sorry to burst your newly formed bubble OP, but there really is no endgame in GW2. It’s pretty much WvW or sit in LA.

PvP balance is in complete shambles, the number of active players is lowering each week.

PvE will get dull and boring. It is fun for a bit, I admit, but once you start gearing right and getting groups you will soon cruise all of that pretty easily.

It’s a shame too because there is so much potential in this game, but a huge lack of incentive to play once you’ve been 80 for a while. I find myself playing less and less.

It’s that kind of feedback/thinking that makes me believe the end game needs to be revamped. Something where once you hit 80 you get that initial “Holy S#)! this is cool!” feeling you do when you first play the game for the first few days.

Not something that’s like “Well there’s pvp…done that already and WvW…done that…what is there for lvl 80’s again?”

I think you should take a game for what it is and not for what it’s not.

And another thing, there’d be no point to suggestions, ideas, updates, or expansions if everyone just “took the game for what it is.”

It’s perfectly fine what you are doing.

I just don’t think you should expect too much.

Besides you don’t have to worry about everyone look the other way. This kind of topic have already been brought up and all the suggestion here have been talked about before.

Most of the times you’ll just quit before anything is changed, if anything ever changed.

Me personally, I really like some of the living story. Only if those are replayable. I hope they make the open world raid boss reward better for failing. The open world raid focus too heavy on if you get to the “good” instance. People might actually bother to just do them and have fun and not wait for one hour taxi into coordinate groups. Solo dungeon instance is also a good idea. Quite honestly GW2 have some of the best solo combat system(it just dont’ work too well for groups).

Ok, this much I can level with you on. I would like replayability for everything, including hearts (even if they were on a timer).

As far the devs not responding/doing anything about suggestions, that’s just sad because it shows they don’t really care about what the people want.

The “wait for one hour taxi into coordinate groups” wouldn’t a be a problem with my idea because there still wouldn’t be defined roles. Everyone would have a ‘Attention get skill’ or as it’s called in FFXI “Provoke”. No one would be a full on tank and the skill wouldn’t drastically draw the monster’s attention but it would be enough to have it’s attention.

As you’ve said, the soloing is great in the game and solo dungeons are not a bad idea. I don’t want to change that, just end game events/add-ons that would require more planning/teamwork. Regular game wouldn’t be affected, just the addon.

How about my idea I posted as a topic previously;

Make transmutation stones work for light, medium and heavy!

Saves the developers the time and money for making new gear and allows for alot more customization for the look of your armor. Of course stats wouldn’t transfer, just the looks.

I’m not saying to change the game, it would be adding more to the game, making it bigger and more diverse.

Unless you want Guild Wars 2 to stay the same for the next 10 or 12 years. Maybe you should play normal games instead of mmos, cause they always stay the same.

MMOs are a contantly changing environment. To “take a game for what it is” isn’t an option for mmos when they change every so often.

NetherDiver.6079:

There are advantages and goals shown to you at level 80. You only receive ascended crafting materials at 80 and you receive higher level loot. The new TA path can only be done at 80, and you’re more efficient doing difficult lower level world bosses like Tequatl.

The ascended gear progression is open ended. Though you are forced to do specific content, you still have an option. When I worked toward my Ascended shield, I skipped dungeons entirely. I was burned out on them so I chose to do JPs instead. I was surprised at how many I haven’t done before. I didn’t farm for mats, I just did world events and farmed champs so I could buy them off the TP.

If you define Endgame as “Stuff you can ONLY do at level 80”, then Guild Wars 2 lacks that. Most of the content can be done at pre-level cap levels. One of my friends is new to Guild Wars 2. She’s only level 34 and we can fight the Marionette together. I think that’s extremely valuable.

You make several great points;

I do love the auto level sync to play with everyone. I think I have an idea for new end game content;

more giant bosses and more difficult ones. Have them one a scale that player’s move up. This may already be something somewhat implemented already but stay with for a moment.

1. Giant bosses (similar to how the gods used to be in FFXI) that go from lvl 80-100 possibly higher. There will be several (one boss lvl 80, one level 85-90). The level 100 would have to be fast, powerful and only something the best of gw2 players could beat.

2. More coordination/teamwork involved (Have a new skill that grabs attention of an enemy, not to full on tank but just grab attention) with additional skills that control the fight more

3. more coordination/teamwork…Really, this game could use something somewhat like dungeons but with more planning and dark souls type ‘life or death’ combat.

Omega Mayhem.7163:

That’s not what ‘Guild Wars’ means in the game. Lrn2lore.

Ok, that’s fine. However it doesn’t affect the fact that a game titled guild wars doesn’t have any guild wars. So my question again is;

Would you like the option for guild fights/tournaments?

Having more experience with FFXI’s end game than Guild Wars 2, I have to say one thing I liked about FFXI was the merit system.

It allowed you to make small boost increments to each of your characters stats. Let me elaborate this would work in gw2:

1. When you hit 80, your experience needed to “level” is cut down to 75% of what it is now.
2. When you hit your “level” past 80, you don’t earn a level but you earn a ‘Special Point’
3. With the ‘Special Point’ you can spend it to upgrade a stat (power, precision, ect) or you can build up points to unlock a weapons skill, passive trait and so on…
4. Now you can use the xp earned from hearts and events to make your character a little better bit by bit.

This is a system I liked from FFXI but it’s not for everyone.

Is it me or should a game called guild wars have the ability for guilds to have wars? I understand there’s pvp and WvWvW but where’s the option/ability for guilds to compete or even have tournaments?

I would love to see this as something added to the game. I’d prefer it to not have the ‘Auto level 80’ function so it’s the actual guild’s level’s competing but ‘Auto level 80’ would still be ok.

I just think using the same name for the game when there’s no such guild wars is a little misleading. Do you think guild fights and options should be expanded like I do?

Caedmon.6798:

End game is stale and boring,theres nothing really to look forward too,theres really nothing to “Go For”…Its doing the same thing each and every day hoping anet will finally start making their own game more interesting.

Hence my original question to everyone:

tornadokicks.3845:

What do you think should be added, changed or removed for end game?

Casmurro.9046:

I’m also crafting an legendary focus, since the precursor for it is one of the cheapest, i have 100% world completition, dungeon master, 7 professions on lvl 80, and i’m leveling the last profession i’m missing.

Is that technically even end game though, when your working on map completion, dungeons and other professions before you event hit 80? I was thinking endgame is events/quests/ect that are available but you MUST HAVE 80 in order to do them or have them available.

Otherwise, how do you call it end game if you’ve already being doing the same thing the rest of the game?

As far as the other classes or re-rolling, That’s kind of like playing halo (for example) from the beginning to the end and then playing it again and calling that end game.

Zoid.2568:

Wouldn’t work in PvP.

That’s fine, just have for PvE then. that would still makes it available for dungeons, fractals and the open world. Also I would think it’d be ok in WvWvW since it’s so hectic anyway.

I’m starting this so that we can get an overall view of what everyone wants for end game. I just got my fist 80 as of yesterday so I feel I don’t have much say in this.

However, it would seem that one of the biggest complaints about the game is the lack of or perhaps tedious end game content. I’m aware of pvp and WvWvW but these are technically not end game since you can do both far before hitting 80.

The other 2 I am aware of are dungeons and fractals. I have no experience with fractals and barely any with dungeons. So, with that being said;

What do you think should be added, changed or removed for end game?

Note: I decided to post this here since I can’t seem to post in the suggestions section.

I wanted to pitch the idea of being able to use transmutation stones to get the look of any gear. I don’t care about getting the stats, just the look.

I believe this would lead to alot more unique characters because people could use the looks of light, medium and heavy mixed together!

It may mislead people as to what role/job you are but is that really important during battle? Besides, you already have the logo by a users name to identify class. Anyways, this would be a purely cosmetic change and I feel it would be a great addition and free people to create a character closer to what they want.

The character customization is one of the best, why not make it better with full armor customization (atleast for looks).

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

@tornadokicks…You really should remove that picture, or at least, remove your name and email address from it. It also looks as though you clicked the links in it to get to the scam website, so it might be prudent to change your email and account passwords to prevent any compromises of your account. Good luck. =)

Removed them. Not too worried about them knowing my email address anyway since it seems they already know that, with or without me clicking the link in the email.

My password on the other hand is a different story. If I input that into the box in the page and submitted it, then I’d be worried.

Seems like they’re getting pretty good at these phishing scams.

This one goes to:
http:// support.guildwars2 .com.mxnz.pw/

and asks for username + password.
Why must there be A holes trying to steal everything, even video game accounts? It must be the economy or something.
