Actually, I think that might be pretty cool. Anet has already proven that they can adjust attributes at will ([Journey to the North]), and might be a nice challenge, providing that there are checks in it (So that it doesn't give a sassy a bar full of dual attacks and no lead/offhands, for example).,

Turnabout is fairplay.

So I think it would be interesting for players to have to stand around in missions all day in small groups, not allowed to wander much, with no real chance of doing anything. They would also have to try to beat overpowered groups of monsters every few minutes. If by some fluke they do win, they get nothing, they still have to stay in the mission.

I'd remove heroes and consumables from the game. Henchman would still be available, but you'd have to pay for them.

You could pay a 1k fee per henchman to invite them into your party.

Or you could pay for unlimited services for a henchman for 1 month. The more popular the henchman is, the more they cost.
Devona: 20k - can invite anytime for a month
Mhenlo: 30k
Lo Shan: 3k
Eve: 15k
Cynn: 30k
etc...


Encourage grouping with real humans more and add a goldsink at the same time. I'd love to see these changes made. However I get a sneaking suspicion that I might be the only one.

So, do I win the thread?

I would do real skill balancing and not revert one just because of people moaning, mainly in PvE. And get rid of /Rank for Hero and Zaishen, to make people cry.

Wait, that's a good thing!

Make one item in your inventory disappear each time you die. Item chosen at random, and if you have an empty inventory, then it removes one armor piece/held weapon.

Lets a death really mean something. "the real death penalty"


Course to make it even more noisy - don't have it affect PvP at all.

I would remove the 4 non core classes. Also monsters would have the ability to steal stuff from players.
oh, lol, when thats so ^^ then I really have missunderstood it oops XD

hmm, make GW terrible huh?

-Remove all skills except pve only skills and for pvp the core/proph skills

-Monsters in NM are all Level 40 in Hm all level 60 with all attributes maxed or incredible higher than 20

- remove all pvp titles, remove koabd title, remove ldoa title especially and remove all people automatically out of the presearign, once they hit level 2

- npc's selling all normal items for only 1g

- secondary accounts get automaticaly banned, once the server sees, that another accoutn gets played on the same IP Adress of one PC

- all heroes, henchmen get removed

- remove all rez shrines

- when reaching max Death Malus of 95%, next death you will lose your complete inventory, all your money thats actual on that chara and your equipments

- max morale only 5%, max malus 95%

- environmental effects, in deserts you could end up in sandstorms, blinding you all, in snowy areas then blizzards, slowign you all down by 90%, rainy areas you are in thunderstorms, letting you receive every x seconds yy thunder damage and dealing cracked armor/weakness ect. pp.

- if you get hit twice with poison, its deadly poison and you instantly die.
- if you get hit with earth elemental skills, some coult petrify you, making critical hits at you let you instantly die
- if you get hit with water elemental skills, some could freeze you, making critical attacks at you let you instantly die

- no map traveling anymore, you must walk all the ways XD

- instabile servers, lettign you see every 5 minutes an err007

- Elite armors becoming significantly strogner, than normal armors

- golden/green weapons becoming significantly strogner, than grapes and blue trader weapons

- selling all minipets for certain prices at a npc, say 100g for whites, 500 for purple, 1p for golds and 2,5 for greens XD

- making gold selling a legal activity in the EULA

- remove the emotes of hero/zaishen title

hmm, all I can come up with atm XD but some stuff of that would really f*** up lots of people in GW, I'm sure XD

"World PvP" is almost an oxymoron. And you can't do it on GW's strictly "rock-paper-scissors" form of profession dueling (which is what World PvP mostly is).

That said, I'd make the compass fill the entire screen and make skillbars invisible.

Me...? Hm...

- Inscriptions worldwide.
- COMPLETE update of old weapons. Making all items with inherent properties (like those unconditional 15%) get inscription slots.
- Change in regeneration so 55 monking becomes impossible.
- Make all titles and achievements account-based, so if a character makes a quest, all characters have it made. If a character unlocks an outpost, all characters get the outpost. If a character makes a mision, all characters have it made, if a character gets a title, all characters get the title. Everything but the Resilience and Companionship monuments would be account-based.
- Require customization to equip items.

Oh.

I would also delete PvP emotes (as much as I love them).

And instead, emotes would be time based. For example, how long you have owned your account. So the people who bought Prophecies on release or close to release would have a Pheonix emote by now which would show their dedication and that they are a veteran.

I think that would be pretty rad.

Make players switch with monsters after X hours killing Y monster.

for example:

Oh noes!!!11 I'm an Aatxe!
Oh, look at the little assassin! How cute!
/permaSF
/die

I think anyone would be frustrated enough as any UW creature being killed every five seconds by any random people coming to UW.

ooo i got a good one guys.

make it so nothing ever saves.

SO you could beat the game, and find every town, unlock tons of stuff but when you log out and log back in you have to start all over again including creating your character.

On a slightly serious note, he has a point.

On a more serious note, his point soon becomes invalid because of the amount of trolls on these boards. I've noticed some good, honest, hardworking trolls who actually try, and very often succeed. Then there are the lazy half-arsed trolls who normally put porn links in the off topic section.

Then there are the accidental trolls. The people who deliberately misspell words in an effort to look cool, but who don't realize they they are in fact making fools of themselves. The people who still try to keep those sad 'have I won this thread?' and basically other dumb memes alive. They died a long time ago, let them rest...
Do you want guru in the hands of these accidental trolls?

Actually, trolling has a lot of scope for a good thread, I might as well make one and see what people think.

and change all the music to numa numa


and then roll back the servers all the way back to factions.

But remove all prophecy skills.

Then give everyone pink armor, except for the women characters who have all been deleted because girls don't play games anyways so they were a waste of data.

then make the weekend event loose all items.
Whenever you kill a monster you lose an item from your inventory.


Oh and delete the monk and warrior profession
