Guild Wars wishlist 2011

3) Lyssa's Dimension: You and your party will teleport to an alternate realm and battle a random group of eight enemies, no enemy more than two of a type. These enemies are Level 28 in NM and Level 30 in HM. You earn 100 gold and three random Material (non-rare) per group beaten. After every five groups, you earn an additional 250 gold and 1 Rare Material. After twenty battles, it ends. You earn 2 points if win 10 battles, or 5 points if complete all 20.

5) Add Pogahn Passage to the ZMission list so every mission can be on it.

unnerf holy wrath is on my list

I would like to see more of the player surveys like the one Arena Net put out at the end of War in Kryta. Maybe if they could make the surveys in game, so everybody would know that it's up instead of having to go to the Guild Wars website to find out. I think it could work if they make the survey come up the first time you log in since it's been posted. Then you could choose to skip it (with the option "don't ask me this again"), or to complete it. Obviously, the survey would only be completable once per account. Also have a place at the end of the survey (free response) where you could mention any suggestions you might have. I think this would really help Arena Net to see what we as players want to see improved/changed in the game, and might speed up the planning process for a lot of content updates, and possibly skill rebalances.

Also:
1. End boss (Menzies) for Fissure of Woe
2. Make Rangers not suck in PvE
3. I like the Obsidian weapon idea that was mentioned by several people
4. Something to slow down or stop speed clears.... get people back to doing balanced way. Balanced playing was so much more fun in my opinion
5. I really want Xinrae's Weapon and Defiant Was Xinrae reverted back to their original functionality that disabled spells. Although this didn't exactly fit into the Ritualist style of playing, it was something interesting and different, and made Ritualists fun(er) to play in PvP.

My thoughts.

Doesn't this thread belong in Sardelac? Anyways, since it's here......

While I too would love to see some of these things, a lot of the suggestions made are impractical at this stage of the game. Extra realms of the gods would require too much work creating new maps and an Auction house has already been nixed by Arena net. (Although, i like StormDragonZ's suggestion above. If it uses existing maps it could be done, but without the title track. I think it's too late to be adding new titles into the game.)

Other suggestions made are just too controversional. After every major change you see tons of threads on the forums. Half the player base is praising the latest update and the other half is screaming that the game is ruined.

My want list is simple. Simple to program (i think) and nice simple changes that no one could possibly get upset over.

1. Add a variety of sorts to the Hero List. Similiar to how we can order our skills by different criteria. Add the ability to sort our heroes by level, by alphabetical, by profession, by most-used, etc.

2. For the Quest list, it's nice that all the quests are grouped by their own area, but i'd like to see an additional grouping by Campaign first and auto-collapse the quests for the Campaigns your character is not currently standing in.

Now.....on to the controversial and/or time intensive wish lists that i'd love to see but I know will never happen.

1. End boss for FOW. I'd love this to happen. I guess it's possible and maybe something that could come with the 7 hero build.

2. Speaking of FOW, add some dang teleports to the place. Something similiar to UW. Allow party teleports to Rastigan, The Wailing Lord, Forgemaster and that Admiral on the Beach. You must have completed the quests for each before they become a teleport destination (or just talk to the guy on the beach).

3. Add the ability to earn survivor on older characters. It doesn't have to be easy. As a matter of fact, it shouldn't be easy. Make it a gold sink and a trial all wrapped up together. Maybe something like a new random gift from the UW end chest called Grenth's Gratitude. You click it to summon Grenth who is grateful for your service in banishing Dhuum that he allows you to petition him to remove a death from your death count. Cost is 100g per death removed. Maximum of 1000 deaths can be removed from 1 petition (100k). Once your death count reaches 0 your survivor track starts moving again. Grenth's Gratitude is an untradable item.

4. This one is more for GW2 than GW. I'd love to see it in GW, but I'm afraid it would be massive to program and require way too much time for the live team. Give the guilds more options.
- Various ranks for officers.
- Various abilities for officers that are toggled per officer. Some officers can recruit, some can start pvp battles, some can kick, some can mute members.
- Various toggles selections for the guild. Can allied officers mute or kick my members? Which officer should become the next leader if leader defaults? Guild Bank? Who can access the guild bank if there is one?
- Recruiters can view guild history on potential recruits. See how many guilds they've been in. How long in each guild? Have they ever been an officer? Have they ever been kicked?
- Potential recruits can see stats on guilds they are interested in joining. PvP ranking. # of members. # of allies. Names of officers. How long has the guild been around.
- Officers have more control over allies. Ability to mute members in allied guild. Guild leaders only have the power to kick members in allied guilds if that guild has opened that ability.

• Ranger buff (across the board): pet AI,spirits,traps,attacks with terrible effects like Hunter's shot
• Dervish buff/rebalance (AoHM linked to Mysticism would be a start)...A/D and W/D are better with scythe, lol?
• Elementalist buff for HM (intensity), Searing flames rebalance , Invoke Lightning recharge upped for PvP
• Ritualist SoS slight nerf, nerf to DWG +Spirit rift (would fix instagib rit bosses too), A-rage not armor ignoring
• necro, mesmer nearby damage AoEs changed to adjacent
• monk's reverse hex -> 5 energy

Unlikely:

• Shadow form and shroud of distress killed so balanced teams can play again (don't care if sliver armor takes a hit in the process)
• New Codex bounty: Codex skillset of the day. Codex rules (lol 2 monks not allowed). Random enemies, random map. No cons. 1 Silver Z coin on completion, nonrepeatable daily quest. (per character)
• New Mesmer hero (female) that looks like the one on prophecies' box (complete with sword) to replace Gwen, who makes a long speech whenever I go down in UW
• alcohol changed to point system where you just use it
• tome trader
• all grind titles accountwide (Vanguard, Asura, Deldrimor, Norn, Lightbringer, Sunspear, etc.)

My wish:
anyone who complains that a profession needs to be fixed because it is under powered is forced to play that profession for a minimum of 50 hours of game time before they are allowed to play their other characters again.

winds of change
guild wars 2 beta

why would anything else matter once GW2 beta comes out? yeah, that's right, it doesn't :B

Yay:
Nay:

Yay for sweet tooth, drunkard, party animal. Nay for EotN allegiance titles unless they become harder to max.

There is already a tome trader...

One that doesn't cost z coins... like the rune trader.

Force players to actually play the game as was originally intended, meaning balanced (or semi-balanced) teams, that are fighting the mobs. First thing on the list is changing / removing Shadow Form, obviously. After that, make AI a little smarter so mobs prioritize ritualists and not their spirits. (cuz ppl seem to solo half the game with their sos rits)

You do know there is not going to be a monk in GW2, right? Or at least that's what i've heard..

Well, if you want this, then I want PvP'ers to be prohibited from bitching that PvP is dead because they are and were a bunch of assholes who prevented an influx of new players in PvP.

It's said before, but on my number one is still Ele fix. Even if it means killing an ele boss in HM will be near impossible..

Your missing the fact that warriors suffer from the massive melee hate that exist more so then any other class. They have one skill to deal with blocking that takes 60 seconds to recharge and nothing to deal with blind. Don't tell me a monk will remove blind because when a tank is blind chances are it's also bleeding/poisoned/crippled/diseased/cracked armor and suffering from deep wound.

Wars are the point gaurd in the fight, they take massive amounts of damage and monks often can't stay in range to heal them. No, it's not because wars blindly charge into the back line for no reason, the reason a war is back there is to deal with an enemy monk that is keeping the mob alive or ressing.

Wars have the worst self healing in the entire game. And one of their skill lines is only of use to other professions.

Now I am not saying that wars need a massive buff, rather that they certainly do not need a nerf of any kind. The only real change I would like to see is Tactics moved to the primary attribute along side Strength so those skills could be reset to useful for Warriors and not just other classes.

In PvP these things keep warriors balanced. In PvE they are virtually non-issues.

Done it!

I beg to differ. There are plenty of blocking/blinding foes in PvE and many times when wars are the first to die in a fight through no fault of their own.

Energy denial on a war is devestating even with adren skills because of how easy it is to block or blind them, not to mention hexs.

Virtually every other profession has either condition/hex removal or a means of playing through them. Warriors have nothing, they are totaly reliant upon monks/rits/mesmers/paragons/dervish/ect... to help them function.

In most all of PvE a party can function perfectly without a war using minions/pets/spirits or even summoning stones to replace the role wars generaly fill.

Nerf wars and you might as well just remove them from the game.

A dog mini or ranger pet. Thats pretty much it. If we can have spiders, crocodiles, lions, etc... why can't our ranger get a dog.

@Crom:
If you can't handle your monk hero to keep blind off your war in PvE, and maybe even Insight you (or buff otherwise), you're doing something wrong. If you have a full players team and you're running a damage build, not 'tank' (as in: the highest survivability), the casters (yeah, not only monks can get a cond removal!) do something wrong.
Other conditions are only covers in PvE, seriously.

Just as you might have missed that, it wouldn't be possible with any other class than a warrior.

Because they get wolves.

I stopped reading at the bolded part.

My Dervish is my main, with the most playtime, the most titles completed and in-progress, and the most content completed.

The profession is under-powered and needs to be fixed.

Well, time to open the can of wishful thinking...

1. Worldwide inscriptions and new weapons added to old campaigns (i.e.: Daggers dropping Prophecies). Also weapon upgrade trader, or at least more salvageable mods in collectors.
2. Make Titan Quests repeatable and/or have better rewards. It's a shame making all those cool Titan models and using them just a couple of times.
3. End chests in Sorrow's Furnace and Tombs of the Primeval Kings. Sorrow's Furnace chest will have a chance to drop any of the uniques all other bosses have, and inscribed gold skins that can drop in the area, and Stone Summit skins. The chest from killing the darknesses would have a chance to drop inscribed Tomb skins or any of the greens the darknesses drop.
4. Make end-chests count towards the Treasure Hunter title track. +5 points in NM, +10 in HM.
5. Change drunkard to be less annoying to get, giving all beverages effect icons, increasing the time you can be drunk from 3 minutes to more, and/or giving points just for consuming the stuff like with sweets and party items.
6. FoW end boss, and access to the remaining 3 realms of the gods. Dwayna's would be an exception, since it won't be a place for battle and an end-boss you defeat, but filled with min-games, and the end-boss is defeated with a min-game too.
7. Extra damage in skills from martial weapons is armor ignoring. Same with spirit attacks, mesmer skills and most necromancer and monk smiting skills. That leaves elementalists in a bad situation damage-wise in HM. Fix that too.

Well, that's what overflowed from the can when I opened it. It has many, many, many other things, but It's a pain to gather them, filtering them, putting them in order and make any sense of them, I'll leave them in the can for now.

Dogs and wolves are the same species. Dogs are just s sub-species.
Main differences are in behavior and a few physical traits.
The main visible difference is that the less a dog resembles a wolf, the more ridiculous it looks. Just compare a pug and a Tamaskan.
So when you get a wolf, you get your dog, without looking ridiculous.
Isn't that great?

well you said wish.......

1) Auction house (something or a place items for sale... etc... you know what i mean)
2) Change the flipping Log-in screen please. (see sig below)
3) Hope it happens or is real, That town where anyone can find other people to do mission with.
4) End chest(s) idea for SF and Topk.
5) Plenty of stuff on http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Feedb...me_suggestions that are good.

I like the idea of FoW getting an update. Adding Menzies as an end boss, OB/Shadow weapons, etc. They can also use that opportunity to update DoA, specifically gloom.

All weapons should have been made inscribable and mod traders should have been placed when NF was released. Now would be a good time to do that.

some updates to HA

- End chests in Sorrow's Furnace and Tombs of the Primeval Kings. (nice one, as i like to do those 2 areas with full hero)
- full hero (really early next year, not like: oh, we have another thing to do first, plz wait half a year, or such)
- more pve-pvp splits, to prevent pve getting less nice skills (i'm no meta/farm/elite build user, i only make own builds for my chars) cuz of pvp
- new sidequests, next to the upcoming content(s), you know, those which only give xp and gold, but maybe 1 will let you get 1 (name)gift a day, which may have either cheap stuff, or something special, and maybe untradeable
- some kind of tonics(?) which change you into a random creature (no boss or too strong enemies), maybe the ones which summon stones summon, but then you get em, and get their builds, just for "fun"
- new pve only skills (unlikely, but would be cool), just not too strong, but useful

that all spread in whole 2011(so not all in a short amount of time), that would be cool, IMO
this is all i can come up with atm

End of thread.

HA has been going down the shitter the past 3 years.

By now, all those hexway, bbsway and IWAY clowns got their phoenixes, so just make the format fun again.

Thx anet.

You and I can wish, but will it ever happen? I'd like to see them announce some sort of beta for GW2... and have it run like the GW1 beta, that'd be great.

1) TopK and sorro's furnace worth the trouble
2) seven heroes ASAP
3) dervish fix
4) paragon fix
5) elementalist fix
6) usable sin heroes
7) make urgoz/the deep atractive to players instead of only DoA/FoW/UW/any dun SC
8) get rid of shadow form dominance on 95% of PvE
9) Amity being usable for the first time in 5~6 years (I know I'm asking to much but the 8 above are still possible)

1) Nerf SF
2) Rebalance stuoid areas so normal builds can do them
3) Buff PvE rangers

and why not
4) Revert the retarded loot nerf.

^^Fixed
You're welcome. Did I miss anything?

Eh... I just want the 7 hero update and a paragon/dervish update. I don't really care so much about balance (hence why im not wishing for a ranger/elementalist update), I just want the paragons and dervishes to be more fun to play by giving them more varied options. Balence is already shot, though im all for necro, sin, and rit nerfs.

As for PvP... well I couldn't care less. I guess my wishlist concerning PvP would be for some of the PvPers (both in game and on the forums) to stop looking down on PvEers or PvE updates. I know that most PvPers are cool people, but there are a few that I have met ingame and that I have seen on the forums who are constantly bitching about PvEers... and it really is annoying as hell.

Well we already know the dervish update and hero parties are coming, and paragon is an eventuality, so no point in wishing for what's expected. That leaves:

1) Ranger update (not holding my breath)
2) Ritualist update (actual fixes, rather than just making it OP meta)
3) Obligatory SF nerf, also Critical Strikes nerf (restrict to daggers)
4) No more senseless PvE nerfs (Needling Shot, Mirror of Ice) because of PvP balancing.

pfft...why not more annual zaishan tonics? anet pretty much made ecto prices go to shit and inflating ecto prices already by doing the late HoM Cal. and opp weps as well as give the few players who have "lucky " accounts 3 polar minis...why not?

An update for a class is not necessarily a fix for a class (paragons got an update the same time rits did, for example). We won't know if the dervish update will actually help the dervish until it either goes live or we at least see a preview. That's why my wish list has "fixes" instead of "updates".

Agree. At the moment , the only way they should do is by making 1 or 2 dervish skills very overpowered. If not ( i.e dervish class not much more useful than it is now ) , i can already feel threads of whine such as " 1 year for such a joke n1 " .

WHAT?! UMAD??!!! All weapons inscriptions?? Inscriptions are the worst thing Anet ever introduced in this game! They raped the entire weapons market, and green items market. The little weapons that are only available as non-inscr should stay that way! You would destroy so many beautiful things..

No, in my opinion, every weapon should be locked as how it is now and made uninscr again! Ok, that's pretty wishful thinking and it will cause a LOT of rage, so that won't happen, but they should have reversed the inscriptions at the start of NF.. Seriously. And don't go bitching about "and what if i want weapons with mod x and mod y?" There are greens in this game that cover nearly every possible mod and perfect for that matter, so there are options. But greens are completely useless now, except for DoA shields, because gold ones with those stats can't be replicated with inscr, and the gold ones are super expensive.

What happened with hunting down the weapon stats you wanted so badly? Now you can make your own perfect weapon for less that 10k! That shouldn't be! Perfect weapons used to be a lot more expensive, and that's what perfection should cost! Ok, it's unfair towards poor and new players, but good greens are like 10k anyway, so that makes no difference...

EDIT to mods: This post was meant ironically, the UMAD part, I was calm and not angry in any way. So sorry if it looked different.

I wish to know how long more (from now) before the hat/mask starts thanks, as i don't want to start a thread just to ask that one tiny question!

Thanks

7 heroes asap!

lvl 10 henchies are epic useless in Wik.

This game was built on the assumption that you wouldn't have to farm or need a lot of money to have the best skills/power/equipment as everyone else. The pre-inscription weapons market was an affront to this. Most greens simply have terrible mods (for example, most weapons seem to be obsessed with +30 hp mods, despite the fact that +5 armor is usually better).

Saying that the pre-inscription weapons market was good for the game is like saying that the Lightbringer and Reputation titles are good for the game.

Not to mention inscription slots opened up a lot of room for customization appearance wise. It's great to have an option that allows you to edit every aspect of character's look, rather than be forced with an ugly weapon skin just for the sake of mods.

Fix the game and classes and PvE so I can play it and have fun. New content and excuses and it's a lot of work to change a skill etc don't really cut it for me anymore.

The more content anet adds the less stable the game is going to get, and the game is already really unstable.
