You are absolutely correct. My son and I play a 360 game that has that feature, and it is very disconcerting and disruptive to suddenly be in slow mo.

I realized sometime ago that Guild Wars didn't have a wizard with beard and pointy hat. I suppose Master Togo comes closest looking that way, but he is certainly lacking the hat element. Certainly different from other fantasies such as Lord of the Rings, where you have many bearded wizards with different colored robes running around everywhere.

And? what? Why we need all this child molesters wizards with beard and pointy hat running around?

No place for Ground-targetting AoE spells.

Agree with you.

Nothing personal poasiods, i only disagree with some of your points, make funny in another and agree with other..




What i want and dont see in GW? a pet running around and grabing my drops from ground (for sure... only asigned drops from noobs drops...).

Great RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing huge impressive bosses you need 1 hour to kill.

Monthly invasions from charrs, scales, tengu, summits in some places of world with unique bosses. I think its easy to implement and better double greens weekends.

Special monthly missions...

Sorry my weak english.

Having spent a little bit of time in other online games, the lack of an Auction House just amazes me. So much for casual if you want to sell something.

I'll have to look into this, however I heard that there is no AH or something like it planned for GW2. That in itself is epic fail on Anet's part if true. I have heard calls for an AH for almost 3 years - so much for really listening.
Really hope I'm wrong about this

Let's see...
Solo play (yeah I'm not in love with henches... or people)
Skill tree (not saying that would have worked)
2-hands swords/axe or Dual-weild (only prob with these 2 is that one of those 2 tends to be the absolute best for dmg dealing while the other is a RPer'S toy)
traditional stats (inteligence/strenght/agi/dext and so on)
Potions (I remember being in Nolani and realising there was no potion or Stats)

Just wait untill someone comes to you in GW2 with a Ranger Sylvari called Legolas The Elf.

Don't like Ewok? that's sad.

EDIT : "realising there was no potion now Stats" does that makes sence to you?

Horses!!! No wonder the Charr took Ascalon so easily - if only Prince Rurik had a mount!

I wouldn’t care if horses weren’t mounts, they’d of been fine as eye candy. The same with dogs, there’s one in Shing Jea Arena, but a few more dotted about would of been nice.

I also miss from previous games the inability to wield a two handed sword, not every warrior needs a shield. I know we have hammers but I miss swinging a great sword.

Ugh, elves suck.
The most over-used, boring otaku race ever.

Tolkien was the only one who did the Elves right.

Ah, wait? To NOT find?

Hm... not being able to go bck to pre-Searing.
Not being able to charm the Moss Spider.
Not entering houses and such.
Doors that lead to nowhere.
No real flying creatures... they just hover.
Female Elementalist Heroine.
Town portals.
Three more areas in the Charr lands.
Changing builds in by hitting F1..F4 along with the weapons in PvE while outside of battle and with no enemies in radar range.
Doors that open an close when you use them, nut by using a lever and such.
More stuff in guild halls, like animals and such.
Something behind Rotscale. (Why the hell is it there? What is it guarding?)
Thing to do in many places of Kryta an Maguuma, where you don't have to go EVER. For NOTHING AT ALL (except exploration).
More areas at the northeast and southwest in Cantha.

And... the favorite of kids: Xunlai Marketplace. (Yay! I said it once again!)

Completely out of topic :
That idea would have been awesome for the game. Guild wars is about specialisation. But when you have to be ready to counter 10 different kind of builds (vq-ing), the best solution comes back to pure damage.

Simply having 2-3 skill bars (not stats), could allow a mesmer to play more than CoPain spike or 80%ElemSkills support when playing HM.

The topic is "things you were surprised to find weren't in GW". Stuff from WoW (or generic fantasy in general) could well fall in that category...

I think that falls under "Z Axis"...

I expected there to be more armour sets. I understand your not going to have as many diffrent armour skins with the crafting system, but I wish GW had a little more diversity in this regard.

Thus, I was very upset with EoTN...
