That was beautiful. I haven’t played GW2 for months and this just made me even more excited to play it cause I have downloaded it again yesterday, trying to get back the feelings of this GREAT game.

I really like this idea, but how would we deal with the fps? I have a great pc, usually run the game in high quality, but the amount of people + effects make the fps go down to 10

Any thoughts?

ArenaNet should improve GW2’s optimization..

If we are so worried about gold spammers and what not, why not make a dedicated trial server with the 4 starting zones unlocked and max level of 30. No gold spam because it’s on a trial server anyway, noobs can have map chat, people get to play and get hooked, everyone wins?

Nope, everyone does not win. Many people only pick up trials on MMOs when a friend of theirs already owns the game. Those people won’t have a good experience on a Trail Server because they can’t play the game with their friends.

A very easy fix for this would be allow servers to guest on the trial server, but the trial server cannot guest on other servers. Just throwing that out there as an idea Once the player purchases the game, they can then designate their home server with their friends.

That idea to be honest sounds good to me:D

I believe restricting chat would be enough.. limiting world – I don’t know how good that would come out as GW2 can be proud of the open-world it offers and I believe that would attract more people. But that’s just my 50 cents

A free trial wouldn’t be bad, but if they do that they should have a trial client, with a smaller download.

I don’t believe a smaller download could get in use as then the world wouldn’t be as open as it is, but if there was a way to limit the size of the trial client that could get handy as well.

Also once they register a FREE Trial Account they should have an option to redeem a key code on it, so that they can continue playing from what they have acomplished once they buy the game. Until they buy the game they should aswell be limited from posting on the forums.

They just had a free trial weekend (April 19-21). Now the game is on sale for $39.99 until April 28th. I expect many new sign-ups.

I understand it, but the trial was a bit unexpected and I didn’t see it coming so I missed it.
And with these and more restrictions we could have a trial available at any time, like in a game I do not like to compare with GW2, which got a lot of new customers that way (WoW).

To be honest this sale is not to much of a deal, if you know the market you can get it for €34.94 all the time. That’s where I got it from and currently the sale here is for like €37.99 so yeah.. Even with this 30% off, doesn’t reach the price here: http://bit.ly/14706dK (I apologize if this counts as advertising and I will take this link off if necessary.)

I’m not informed with how many of threads on this forum actually reach the staff of ANet, so some info about that would be appreciated too, as I do not use the forums so often.

Leave your thoughts, Thank you!

Hello GW2 community, I would like to suggest a Free Trial of GW2!
Explain it..
1 week access to GW2 with restrictions, also IP, e-mail tracking system to avoid people use the trial more than once.
Example of restrictions:
- maximum level 10-30 (moving around here)
- use of mail not allowed
- use of trading post not allowed
- not allowed to create/join a guild
- less character slots
- chat restrictions
- much more to find..
But why?
This will bring more players to GW2, because it’s kinda to sad to me that people don’t actually know how good game it is. It is really one of the greatest MMORPG’s of all time and people could understand that and that would lead to more customers, larger community and a lot of attention that this game deserves.
People will just stick with the trial and then leave..
No, they will not. Once they will see the glory of this game they will soon or later buy it for it’s low price.
Well there is a lot of videos showing the game out and so..
That is correct, but there is no such feeling that you get when you actually play the game. The feeling is completly different and it’s just plain awesoem
There was a free trial weekend not so long ago..
Indeed there was, but unfortunetly I was away at that time and if I was aware of the free weekend I would of PMed my friend, which is a MMORPG fan and tbh doesn’t believe me that GW2 is any good.

Support this suggestion?
Sign a petition on this link: https://www.change.org/petitions/arenanet-add-free-trial-for-guild-wars-2-with-restrictions-2

This is it from my side, I hope this gets into consideration.

Negative and positive comments appreciated!

What to buy with 800 gems

Are you people just bad at math or something.

3,000,000 sales X $60 per game = $180,000,000. Obviously not all profit. Not all legal sales. Cost of production, employees, shipping etc. etc. Cut that in half by a whopping 50% and that’s still $90,000,000. 90,000,000 – ~50,000,000 from employee fees = $40,000,000.

You can safely assume that they’ve made at least $50,000,000 profit including gem sales.

this^ + whatsoever they deserve to get even more and I hope that there will be even more players joining, comparing it to any other MMO this is the best one.

I come from Europe and i first played on Blacktide, then we all moved with friends to Gate of Madness. At least on the time that I play, there’s not lots of players online. I know this is also, because i’m only 35 level, but I’m curious what server is the best with good community. My GMT is +1 and it would be nice to play on a server, where there is always someone to play with and do events.

Transportation to your home city should be free, from anywhere.

That would revitalize the home cities, AND help keep them full of their own race as well as visitors, making for a rich play experience.

+1 for that

Dueling, Trading, Following System and Mounts

NO following system. It promotes laziness plus it will make GW2 just another Asian MMO. Soon after that you will ask to follow NPCs and enemies and the ultimate lazy-guy feature: auto route on the map by clicking a location.
No thank you. You either play or stay, as simple as that.

NO trading system. You want to give someone something, give it free or if not sell it in TP. I cant laugh more of those complaining about the fees. You sell one item like 10x more than the vendor price and you are bothered by a 3% fee? Man, you are really greedy, you know that?

Dueling system will be added, so no need to say anything about it.

Mounts, probably if the new zones will require them: different planet, different continent, etc.

Your kinda true about the following system.
OK about the trading system, I don’t complain about the fees, only that you could trade items for items with maybe additional fees set on the level of the items being traded, but ok whatsoever..

Dueling system: Is this already announced somewhere? If you could post a link or something.. And when is it coming?

Mounts: I hope so

Mounts do not belong in Guild Wars. They add nothing to the game and only serve to add to the clutter. Waypoints are instantaneous, why would you want to use a mount? No, this idea shouldn’t be introduced. This isn’t World of Warcraft.

Because waypoints cost to use them. Even if this isn’t WoW, it’s still a MMO. Mounts aswell look nice and can be disabled in main cities.

I feel as though mounts should be a collectible as Albocow said like minis. But they should be enabled for PvE and WvW because it is a pain in the kitten to get around in WvW even with waypoints.

Ye, that would be good. There could aswell be special skills when on mounts like underwater etc. or you should actually go off the mount to fight.

- Dueling System:
The devs are going to implement “rented” servers for sPVP where you can set your rules, for example making a match 1vs1. Dueling in the middle of nowhere doesn’t make much sense and if they ever do something like that it must be a “flag” to set if you duel, by default the flag is “off” and if anyone ever wants to duel set it to “on” and wait for someone that wants a duel, I don’t want duel request spam and I really don’t like dueling in the middle of nowhere, dueling in sPVP is fine, I always try to get 1vs1 fights anyway.

- Trading System:
The reason they won’t add that is because they want the fees from the TP, so I don’t see anyway to add direct trading. Also, it will lead to amazing spam of WTS/WTT/WTB all over LA which is ridiculous. We already have enough LFM spammers for Fractals.

- Following System:
If Elementalist skills like Ride the Lightning and Magnetic Grasp are an indication of how pathfinding works in this game, then I wouldn’t want to follow anyone anywhere. Now if they fixed their pathfinding issues why not.

- Mounts:
Nope not needed at all, there are lots of discussions about mounts around here

- Dueling System:
If they are really making rented servers then this is really stupid. Maybe fighting in middle of nowhere doesn’t make sense, but it’s fun. Dueling in Cities could be disallowed.
- Trading System:
Fees could be added on trades too. Or they can somehow add trading items function which could be useful.
- Mounts:
I am aware that it’s not needed, but what does it cost them to make mounts? Nothing and if they just give a little movement speed that wont even effect the gameplay much. Basically mounts are something that you can only enjoy in and afterall they look cool.

+1 for the Dueling system, I think this would help alot of people who want there to be more of an open-world PvP system.

+1 for the Follow feature.

The trading system I find mostly unnecessary anymore because anything I want I can buy on the TP, or mail between my IRL friends. However, I see how some people might want this.

Mounts

My friend and I were talking the other day about how we would love to see mounts in the game, but only as a cosmetic item, i.e. they are another prestige thing you can get like minipets or weapon skins. They would provide no movement speed bonuses or anything of that sort, and thats not really a problem because waypoints are literally everywhere. If mounts were implemented in this way, I would be fine with them.

As far as dragons as mounts goes, absolutely not. For two reasons:

1. Dragons are the absolute most evil things to exist in the world of GW2. This isn’t like other MMOs where dragons are “everyday” mythical beings that you can stumble across and are violent, but mostly “unaligned” (to use D&D terms). Dragons are evil. Owning one is completely impractical within the GW lore.

2. Dragons are not populous. The Elder Dragons are the only dragons we have seen beyond their direct, and very powerful (from a lore standpoint, not actual game mechanics standpoint), minions. This means that there are something like 12 known dragons in the entire GW2 world (5 Elder’s, 3 Champions in the Arah story mode, Shatterer, Claw of Jormag, and Tequatl). People see dragons in the game and automatically jump to “I want to ride dragons”. But implementing a way to actually acquire a dragon mount would have to rip their established lore apart.

Additionally, I am completely against flying mounts in this game, and a dragon mount that couldn’t fly is just a horse with wings.

Ah, I didn’t yet heard anything from dragons in my personal story so I didn’t know that. With that being said I have changed my mind about adding dragon mount
Thanks for you response tough.

About the Trading System: Is there like a possibility on Trading Post or using Mail already that you could request item for item? Because that’s my main idea for the Trading System.

To be honest I have just bought GW2 like 2 days ago. And basically I have some suggestions, which I think all are nice and players would enjoy even more! I’m 200% sure that if you will add following features, players will love the game even more and this will aswell bring many new players. I’d like to apologize for my English :)

So let’s start out:

- Dueling System:
I believe this is something that every MMO shall have! I am not complaining about WvW or sPvP in GW2 as it is fantastic! But with that you have missed the basic PVP feature which is Dueling System. I’m not finding a reason why there’s no such system.
Right click on a player with a feature of Duel – No need of any arenas, just simple, you invite the opponent for a duel and if he accepts you duel :D And for duel don’t make it that it customizes players level or something. Just a normal Duel System like in WoW or Aion is enough!

- Trading System:
Yes, I know that GW2 has trading post and mailing feature, but can you buy a sword @ Trading Post with items? No, you can’t (I believe – please correct me if wrong). Right clicking on a player with a “Request Trade” feature should honestly be added. Not much to talk about trading – Shall be basic like in all other MMO games. There should be trading fees set on the level of the items that are being traded.

- Following System: Promotes lazyness tough :)
Not a really important one, but would be nice to be able to follow other players.
It should be disabled to follow players during events, to prevent abusment like just following a player in an event where you just have to walk with someone and protect him.

- Mounts:
And this is the part I believe that everyone would like. I haven’t seen a single complain about Mounts in any MMO I have far played. So the waypoint system can be there, but having a horse would be amazing. Disabling Mounts in WvW, Duel and sPvP would be a solution.

- Dragon Mounts: Conflicting with the lore
A step further which would add all the possible glory to GW2. Even just riding a small dragon would be very glorious. What even if you would add a possibility to fly with them(of course excluding it from WvW,Duel..)

I would like that every single suggestion would be highly considered as I have found all the suggestions very useful and nice,good to be added.

Feel free to post any critics and your personal opinion..
