Scarlett Romanov
Wants
1. I'd like to be able to do something outside of fighting in pve and pvp. Fshing, mining, anything really!
2. Balanced character classes. In otherwords, I don't want one profession to be shunned by the community as a whole.
3. I want my titles from Gw1 to be worth something. I don't want to find out that I wasted my time on something stupid. (Which will most likely be the case.)
Don't Wants
1. High level cap - If I wanted to spend countless hours leveling, I'd play another mmorpg.
2. Grind of any kind. Grind is boring and is not fun. I want to play and enjoy myself.
3. Half-assed storyline. *cough* GWEN *cough* I want them to put some thought into the story and make it as interesting as the original prophecies.

- More Gigantic monsters
- Better spell animations
- the ability for anyone to have a pet companion(but make rangers have some bonuses of course)
- Dragons that arent female with a the voice of a grandma with lung cancer.
- More Weapon types, armor types
- More customization
- Make areas more solo friendly..perhaps do a system like in diablo where the more you are the harder and rewarding it gets...
- more easter eggs
Don't want

- heroes (they killed the social of this game)
- mehlo
- unique items with non unique skin

K Westgate
Wants:
- an interesting storyline which twists and turns, and then unexpectedly goes and surprises us; also it teaches us and our character something.
- missions that will require a lot of co-operation between players in a team. Eg like Aurora Glade and Thunderhead Keep, and others like Vizunah Square where you have a much larger sized teams. I'd love to see teams of 100 players like you get in WoW. I also think challenging areas like DoA are a good thing.
- an amazing pvp element to the game, and also for the pvp to evolve so it is less repetitive. I think PvP is what has kept a lot of people interested in GW - but new content (new maps, and new arenas) should be added more often. I'd like voicecom built into the game.
Don't wants
- repetition - like norn point or lightbringer point farming
- dark gloomy landscapes - I want to be wowed by the scenery or the artist's imagination, not depressed by it.
- a monthly fee

Solange
WANT:1.) Better Tutorials for PVP - STOP HIDING STUFF - SHOW THEM ITS THERE, big GIANT RED arrows or Green ones...I think Half the people who play Guild Wars don't even know about all the features of have yet to try many of the features in the game SHOW THEM ITS THERE, the pvp tutorial they had on the PVP island was WEAK....zaishen challenge is also hidden to most people that don't know about talking to that one NPC who gives you quest.
2.) Built In Voice Chat - Hate having to alt+Tab out, get password/userid, ip address just to voice chat...its annoying and i'm sure most people don't even bother. Counter-STrike Source, Battlefield 2 have built in voice chat, quality isn't the best but it doesn't need to be you can hear the other person and thats all people need
3.) Ragdoll Effects - Crysis, Half-life 2 Source engine games have physics engine...characters respond to the environment when killed along with other objects in the game imagine killing an enemy along side a hill he'd go tumbling down the hill after he died and mash his body up....SaWEEET
Jumping - its awesome
Swimming - awesome
Observer mode (KEEP) - awesome
do NOT want
1.) Having to buy expansion packs/PVP packs to stay competitive in PVP - making some skills mandatory and only available in certain campaigns is GREEDY evil
2.) 55 Monk builds or elitist farming - Make instances SCALE the amount of monsters depending on how many people enter that instance. If 1 person enters an instance the Instance spawns less monsters allowing ANYONE to solo farm and anyone to play on their own without the need of Heroes/henchmen. I LIKE PLAYING ALONE sometimes...sometimes and when i mean ALONE i don't mean 7 other bots following me around.
3.) WEAK LEVEL design - Whoever designs majority of towns and layout of areas is WEAK sauce...Lions Arch isn't even that nice looking, its one of the better looking towns in the game but the layout is weak. Hire some good level designers please

Really, I'm just trying to be helpful. Wants:
**If Titles, then they should gain you more than a fraction of a percentage point of "(Fill in the Blank)".
**Second hand and dropped armors.
**Limited area Local Chat within Towns/Outposts
Don't Wants:
**To hear what someone clear over on the other side of town is saying in Local (or keep it in local and create a "Nearby" tab to listen to those in the vicinity only.) (Doesn't affect the current Trade channel.)
**Titles that mean almost nothing to the playability of the game.
EDIT: To make clarifications -V

Do NOT want: -Main focus on PvE content. -Itemization. -"Everything must be viable." -Racial abilities. I don't want to find out that "race x is the best for profession y". -Titles. |
Also would like to add, do not want this free-movement bullshit to scew up pvp and make the gameplay feel like the immense unfunness that was Fury. I'm afraid this will likely end up with some retarded "over the shoulder" only camera with actually making your character do what you're telling it to do is half the battle.
I suppose, what it really comes down to for me is "want: same core game as I've been playing with new graphics, skills, story, etc.
don't want: a bunch of the typical mmo stuff that everyone else seem to want because they don't want to pay 15 dollars a month for it."

Like you can't shadowstep through wards or wells. I don't know! I think it would be interesting. Shadow stepping is neat, but it needs something to counter it. |

There is only one thing i want:
Want: Non-instanced explorable areas. i want to explore with other people. i think the instancing has shunned the crowd so much, that H/H has become the god of PvE.

I really enjoy the team building side of the game. Rather than having to run some jack of all trades build you have each char take a specific role and have them support each other.
Playing some weird hybrid DPS/healer/support combo has never appealed to me.

We've already discussed this problem indetail on that other god-forsaken thread. Let's just say that it'll be done for the greater good.
In regards to "having to resort to a hybrid", we'll see. It sounds like GW1 is going the Hellgate:London way in terms of eliminating core group mechanics and replacing it with a much more opened feel in terms of gameplay.

When its just you, even more so when you have to cover multiple roles, it can be a lot harder.
If you only have to focus on hitting stuff with an axe or healing it allows you to learn the basics of the game much quicker than if your having to do a bit of everything.

God I hope they don't make it so that any character can play through the game with only a 1 person team. That eliminates the need for support characters....and support characters are all that I like.

However, from all that i have read, the stuff we put into our Halls "unlocks" something. From what i have read, we cant use our weapons/minipets or anything else. Too early to argue this point anyway for as far as we know they could change how the Hall works between now and beta and final release.
