1. Since everyone is proposing nerfs of bad sin skills they can't deal with, I say nerf malicious strike too. It's too strong for me.

2. I want 3 free max titles for just registering for guru. Another 2 titles for having 1000+ posts. After all, free titles are the craze nowadays.

3. The game in NM is too hard. Don't tell me I'm running a bad build, because I know you're elitist.

All jokes aside, I think it'd be awesome if they had a smoother wiki integration (maybe for GW2 since they don't care about GW anymore). It's great to be able to load up the help menu and link to the wiki page, but at least on slow computers, it sucks to have to minimize the game, have a browser automatically open up, and load the page. When you're done, you have to tab back into the game. They should have it so you get like a little in-game popup on the side that contains the info (but probably without the ability to link to additional pages, since it'll function differently from a web browser).

Edit: Even if you run it in windowed mode, having to open up another browser puts a lot of memory stress on a slow computer.

Normal mode is too easy allready. You must be bad. I can complete everything in normal mode in less than 30 minutes just using key '1', why don't you do that as well ? No I won't tell you my build, use the search option.

Tip, if your '1' key get's worn down you can move your skill to the next spot on the skill bar and use the '2' key.

In-game web browsing integration is present in various other games currently, and it'd be nice to see it in GW as well. Of course, if they went with an in-game browser as opposed to a simpler information box, they'd probably have to restrict browsing to sites that aren't made of suck and fail (and porn).

Tell me about it . I thought the joke was funny tbh. But about the wiki part, would be useful for the computers with poor memory or whatever, but don't see it happening.

Gameshoes : the first part is a JOKE.

For 1,2&3 suggestion I back totally Masamune

For the rest (the serious part), I wonder. If it can be light why not otherwise I don't know. And looking if the wiki is like looking in a book so you can't fight at the same time. So in mission it should open as the dungeon book so as to prevent fighting and looking at the wiki at the same time. Let's be a bit roleplay (and make it an actual book).

A small wiki-window ingame wouldn't help much, because a whole wikipage would have to fit inside your gamescreen, making it impossible to:

-read anything from the wikipage because the text would be too small
-see anything from the game you are playing (if the wikipage takes up half of your screen)

well if we get one for 1k post I think we should also have one for having an avatar.

as for the main point of the post, better access to Wikki.

Yes, good ideas! But I also think the guru titles should have an emote. Maybe a buddha or something.

I would agree with this suggestion. When I only had the one monitor, having to switch windows to see Guildwiki was a pain. The suggestion you put forward seems sensible, as in only opening a mini-wiki page on the topic you want, and disabling any ability to link to other pages.

2 Screens > 1 Screen imo.

All design majors cry a little bit inside.

The "wiki" that appears in game would be formated appropriately, obviously.
I agree that it is VERY slow to have to tab open a new browzer for the wiki on slow computers. While this may be a low priority for GW2, its still a good idea.

I like the idea about the in game wiki. However, I don't think it is possible. If you are Vanquishing, and see a boss you don't recognize, and want to learn what skills it has, what do you do?

/wiki Boss Name

Now, that will provide you with a list of his skills, items it can drop, etc. However, if it is a boss with a Monster skill you don't know anything about, and decide you want to learn more, what is your next option? Click the link to learn about that skill! Except the in game version of wiki you describe won't operate like that, it won't allow you to browse.

Now you have a new /wiki command to enter.

True, this is slightly slower, but still possible. But how many times have you used wiki and had to browse thought 4-5 pages of stuff to find what you were looking for? I do that often, and I don't think this would be fun to use. If the pop-up windor for wiki allowed you to select links like a web page would, I'd be all for it. Currently, I'd say just minimize and go slow.

I used to have 512 memory, and it took 10 minutes for me to minimize the game, find my info, then maximize the game again. I know the idea of removing that process to be effective. I don't, however, know of any point you would need wiki info FAST.

Great thread

It should be called DEATH and have a funny description. something like "you look at target foe, that foe is so scared he drops dead"

we should have it for pvp matches lol, first team to hit the skill on the other team wins.


Back on topic

This is a ok idea for everyone with a old arse computer, but whats the point on playing a game on a computer that can not handle it.
sounds like a waste of money on the game when you could upgrade your computer to anything with a 1.5g processor and 512 megs of ram.

For the same price as a 50 dollor game you can get a motherboard that can handle up to a 3.4 dual core cpu, 4 gigs of ram, and a pci express video card, the cpu will run you a little bit of money just depending on what you get.(you will not need a dual core) and ram is dirt cheap. and same for pci express they are all better then AGP and some are very cheap on the price.

but as everyone is saying 2 Screens > 1 Screen. and they are getting cheap these days.

I'm sorry, but is this a moderator spamming their own forums?

I thought as a moderator for a forum, especially one as large and well known as this one, would be required to hold themselves to a higher standard.

Operative, you missed the actual suggestion, that being easier wiki integration in order to lighten the memory load on older comps.

Considering who the OP is, I doubt he would make that a serious suggestion.

But no really, that would be cool. I usually have the wiki open. And F11 isn't as good as I hope it would be. So sure, why not?

Better wiki integration is good; it'd make playing on a laptop not as slow.

I like the wiki integration. Something like the Age of Mythology version, where you can right click on a unit's picture and it will open up stuff on it. You can browse through a lot of information about the game in that browser. Add a search, Guild Wars info instead of AoM stuff, and it would work out nicely.
