If you had the power to change something in GW, what would you do?

We all have our special wishes that may or may not come true one day. As it's almost the time of the year (X-mas) when dreams can come true, I'm curious what's on top of your wish list. Or even better, what if you can play Santa yourself and change something, what would it be?

I would remove W/Mo as a viable build option,

more seriously i think i would give gw more 3D since its vertically challenged, so i can jump propally whenever i want instead of having to emote it

I;d probably make Griffons farm-able... and ban all the bots, of course :P

Bigger Storage would be nice as well, or at least a different Storage for armors, weapons, dyes etc...

Give players who don't have Wammos on their account the ability to change characters without having to log out every time.


Perhaps the OP should change the title to "If you had the power to change ONE thing in GW, what would you change?" - I can see this turning into yet another "I want this, this, this, this, this....etc..etc.." thread!

better playable diversity. so far we've often seen 'imba' things in pvp, which makes diversity of choice between skills a though joke.

This might sound shallow but... I'd add a Hair Stylist I love the armours in GW, but what I'd really like is to be able to change my hair around to suit what I'm wearing. Can you tell I play a mesmer yet? I have the same urge to play with my ritualist's hair - some days I really wish I had a long style, and maybe a different colour :/ What I'd really really like is one of the long dervish styles on my ritualist - that'd make me a very happy bunny

What's with the wammo hate, rez is good to have when you're with henchies take my 8 million wammoed XP (no I didn't solo trolls, try Lornar's Pass, Snakes Dance and some other odd places) and leave me alone. Yes I do use mending when farming ettins, well did.

Anyways I'd like to see more storage. A beauty salon wouldn't be bad either.

Bigger storage, auction house, bigger friendlist, some sort of menu for players who are looking for a party (and parties looking for players) would also be nice.

This is a great thread.

I would like to see the whole Guild Wars economy changed so that the 'so expensive' and/or 'rare weapons/mods etc' be more accessible to all players through drops that are more often rather than less often.

Yeah yeah yeah some will say that this should never be done for whatever reason but, whether we like it or not, most of the fixes that have been done since Sorrows furnace started, (nerfs as this fixes are most commonly known) is because people have wanted to get these 'rare' weapons etc etc.

For those who got them, it opened up avenues for a weapon with the merchant buys it off you for 35gp inflated its sale price to proposterous amounts of gp.

The Bot users and by default certainly made great capital of this bla bla bla.

So yes make all these items more easier to be accessed by all.

This would have an influencing effect on farming and bot farming

They already are available to all: Greens and collectors. Golds are gold cause they're rare. And they're rare cause they're not accecible to all. When everyone has a golden Crystalline req 7 with 15^50, it's not special anymore, and people will sell it to merchant anyway.

I agree on mods though, mods should be cheap, so people can at least make the weapon they want/need without wasting alot of gold.

maybe a [Weapon Modifier] (like the same as with Custimizing, you show the Karl[Weapon Modifier] your weapon, and can choose 1 of 3 mods (depending on in which town you are, Ascalon does not give 20/20 AP yet, but maybe 10/10). In Droks, you can add a Health +30 mod to one of your weapons for like 2K.

1 character slot devoted to no level capping, but could only be played in groups with other people's charaters of the same type. And an island full of higher lvl mobs to fight.

Yeah making everything accessible takes a lot of out of the game for me. I'd have nothing to work for after I beat the game.

As for mods, you don't need them, they really don't make you that much better, and they aren't that expensive now. But it's a good way for everyone that gets them, to make money and that's why they shouldn't change they are part of the economy. I don't want to see that changed, it shouldn't be easier, it shouldn't be harder. 20/20 +30 weapons will help a little bit, but you can manage to kill with an unmodded weapon if need be. But you should have 10k to get mods you need shouldn't you? Just remember to put priorities for weapons before other things you might buy.

ALlows antisocial behaviour? its a game we should be able to play anyway we want...

And I'd like it alot if i didn't have to team up every.... single... time... i do any thing.


P.S. "teaming up" includes various computer controlled players(henchies, heros) its my continueing rant against the lack of excitment and variable gameplay in GW PvE.

*sigh*

The word you seem to have skipped is culture. I'm talking community here - people. Not game play, I don't care on iota how you play the game.

But if I have to spell it out.
Spamming the local chat with WTS/WTB rather than using the trade chat, that's an example of antisocial behaviour the current guildwars culture allows. It is ignored, people turn local chat off to avoid it, etc. and so forth.
Rather than say a culture where such spam would be met with a reaction from other players to take it to trade chat and a communal resolve not to do 'business' with spammers.
A different culture where there is no gain from spamming the local chat, where such antisocial behaviours will have concequences from the community, from the other people in the game.

An option to move CD Keys from one account you own to another would be nice, esp for CEs you can't buy anywhere anymore, or to sell CE keys in the Online Store (just the CD keys) so that those who missed the Prophecies and Factions CEs can still get the in-game bonuses.

Oh, and more storage, improved hench AI (they dont AoE scatter like enemies do), profession changer for the guild halls....

That there would be an economy where perfect gold items would still be rare and worth something. Trading was fun.

Greens/Collector items are perfectly balancing the game anyways.

I would finalize the agonizingly slow PvE/PvP divorce, leaving the PvP-only version as-is and making a PvE-only version that was stand-alone single-player, sans PvP-dependencies that had no business being there in the first place, and capable of co-op play via some form of CTCP.

If I had the power to change something I'd turn Shiro into the sissy the Lich is atm, and turn the Lich into the all powerfull-PUG-eating-kill-everything-in-sight-ask-for-a-nerf endgame boss that he deserves to be. The Lich has, is and will always be cooler than Shiro. Nothing beats a power hungry megalomaniac! Most certainly not some revenge driven bodyguard.



I love you Lich!!

3D movement. Jumping over the small hill that is forcing us to detour a mile and a half out of our way. (Frozen Forest, this means YOU: one small hill stands in the way of a direct route, forcing a long and winding detour.)
