Still another possibility, as I recall, is to use one of the hot keys (identified or modified in "control setup" accessed thru the options tab in upper right portion of the game screen) like "c" or tab to target closest or cycle thru foes (watch for red circle at their feet to id which one). THEN hit space to run forward and attack or click a spell in which case character will run to spell range and then perform the spell.

All of the quests in pre-searing Ascalon seem to be "collect X number of (insert item here) from killing (insert monster type here)." The repetition is getting really annoying; please make the quests more original.

Please make bad skills better before making good skills worse by nerfing. Also, please keep skill options and diversity open (ie. don't make skills in secondary attribute lines useful to only one primary class; Healing Touch is silly right now).

its very hard to come up with originality
i know that as an artist in the making
and the pre-searing quests were just sort of a tutorial and made to let you get to know which maneuvers work in which ways and how to use them

I know this has not been breached on this forum, but I would like to make a suggestion. Character naming should have some rules to it. I believe it destroys the entire role playing gaming experiance if just anything goes. Perhaps your getting info on a quest and Lord Butt Punk strolls by? Or Whacky Duck starts chatting with you. I've also seen characters with actual titles. I feel this takes away from the experiance if everyone can be King, Queen, Lady or Knight whoever. After all, doesn't the city we start in already have a King? I understand the need for expression. But this is a world being created in a particular genre. King Laser Gun takes away from this, and cheapens it. Titles are not a bad idea though so I will not discount those. I feel they should be earned though. Perhaps after reaching so many levels a player can choose (out of a few options based on profession maybe?) a title to augment their characters name. (I.E. "Spiritualist" Devona Syndre(monk), or "War Leader" Grunner Vuul(barbarian). Or even upon completion of a quest or mission.

i am unsure
the idea of being sir or lady <name> IS intriguing dont get me wrong
but many people don't like the fact that they arent directly in charge of their own name
not to mention in order fot them to be checked, they would need to be put through a long a annoying process
i personally dont thing Agent Dark Bootie takes much from the experience
however something like "Touch Me L33T" or "Bootielicious Girl" would
my name of course is not really Agent Dark Bootie lol
and though at first, it might seem as meaningless as Bootielicious
but it is more to me
the only names i ever go by on games are:
Agent Dark Bootie
Spazz (sometimes She Spazz)
Spazznid
and lately, Nova Prospekt (or Element Prospekt)
sure these might be different than the names from the themed time period in GW
but isn't GW a fantasy game?
where your fantasy may roam freely?
now i am not saying i dont mind it when "Stupid toad" walks by and such
i may not like those names but i dont hold that against them
if they play more seriously than they name their char, im ok
i take my name very seriously
Agent Dark Bootie is becomming more and more of a keepsake name
and Spazz is what i sign my art with
its who i am
and i for one won't trade that for "Sir Elliot of Whales" or something
sorry
i wish people WERE more serious about how they name themselves.
at least something of meaning that only a tru friend or themself can really understand but that everyone else can recognize
not like Ben Dover or something stupid
but if one grape is bad, you shouldn't throw the whole group away
my name means alot to me
Agent Dark Bootie is from a show called invader zim
he is unusuall and mysterious and you would never guess what he was like if you really saw him
and spazz describes my thought and fealings
an enigma of sorts which can never fully be described.
and very different from the rest (eg: the two z's instead of one)
sorry but dont count on it happening

I definatly understand choice, freedom and expressing yourself. But I really must say watching Sir Dildo walk by is too much. I originally started rpg in a text based Fantasy game. And they had lots of rules yes, which could be binding. One of which was use of rules on names, certain words you simply could not use like profanities and titles. So I admit I'm sorta spoiled by that. The other was talking of out text. I'm sure the use of some type of filter would make it easier. And you are definately correct in stating it is fantasy, but I would say specifically of a certain genre. After all, I believe all content should fit the world. Wouldn't you be agahst to see a vw bug rolling through the landscape? I hope they consider it. And I can see how people would be attached to their names. After 4 months of being "Sultana" I was told I had to change the name. Very upsetting after so long. But change it I did. After all it was a title. But I believe in keeping it within the game's , genre it can be more in depth. Sure some might not like it. But thats true of anything right? I'm just looking for a control of the more blatent forms of names. Actuall profanities, Names of real people, actors and characters that are well known. E.I. Conan the Barbarian Red Sonja and such. Your name could actually get by, but I would make you earn the AGENT, but then you could still have it

by limiting what names people can use is kinda being selfish, just because you want to play a certain way doesnt mean everyone feels that way. even if you made a way to earn the title king, how would that stop me from puttin that in my name to begin with? if you dont allow anyone to use the word king, then theyre would be no names like kingsley, the filter would be much... MUCH too limiting

they already have a profanity filter for the names... they wouldnt let me use the name miss fallatio

As I said before I'm looking for controls on the more blatent issues of naming. I believe if a text based game from 3 years(that is also still running)ago, can do it and allow people to have names like Kingsley, but not names like Jojo Kingofturds or Mamaqueen then I believe this game can do it too. And I'm being truthful when I say there was a character with Dildo in the name. He must have slipped through the cracks As for being selfish, I'm sure there are many people that are actually for these types of rules since simply put,it is an rpg and if your out of character your technically not roleplaying. Some people are fanatic about this, as I have learned and freak if you bring anything at all real in the game in any way, even in whispers. I'm a little more laid back on this. Disrupting the idea of the game by being "Cyborg Smasher" when obviously there can be no cyborgs is even more selfish. If you want to be Cybrog Smasher go find the right game to be in. That is the basis of a RPG in the first place.

i do know what you are talking about, but i am sorry that i cant agree with it.
I dont want people to have names like kingsley unless their name is such
and i personally like seeing people with their distinctive names
i may not like sir dildo and i would lose all respect for that person as soon as i saw them.
of course my guild leader's name is Sir Decapitator
that is an unlikely name in this genre
but i dont want him to be Sir Geoffery or anything
i dont want people to know me by a conventional name, because i am not conventional.
let me remind you too that paper and pen is MUCH different than virtual
noone should expect this to be anything like Dungeons & Dragons
not that D&D is bad
i love D&D and it in itself is it's own genre and in my opinion it should stay that way but an mmorpg is so different
in fact, not to seem mean or anything, i suggest that you play some everquest or everquest 2 because i have played the trial version of eq2 and i havent seen anyone on that game with a wird name (other than myself lol)
i saw Jameson of bernedun and i saw
tamria priest
and i saw
elvestia rune
but saw nothing along the lines of Sir Dildo
eq2 has a very serious community and it seems that it would meet your wants rather well
(except for that monthly fee)

Mister Dildo was actually in GW. Which is why I'm saying anything anyway. I've seen lots of characters in this particular game with names very similar to this, and some that were nothing but numbers and letters that made no sense at all. I've played a few rpg games and they all seem to have some type of rule to names. I understand this isn't supposed to be like other games. I'm looking for COMPROMISE. I'm not looking to stop people from being Spazz or Mark or Kingsley. But there should be something that keeps players from using "The king nathen" or even "warlord 2" "warlord 3"or any type of profanity. Not that I don't use it, but come on.

Just going off previous visits to GW. I did see them the first time I was here. I used to look all the time at the names of other characters. To get ideas for my own names and see if the name was interesting enough to start a conversation. Won't go looking to do so with someone named newbie stomper.

I'd prefer more mature names by myself too, such names would keep the community-level higher too...I have to admit that I once ran around as "We Like The Moon" but just because I've been too lazy to figure out a better name for a PvP-testcharacter! Maybe they should add something like they got on NwN where you can randomly mix up some names if you can't figure one of by yourself...maybe a nice idea too..

If you want to limit everything, just give out a name for each character slot. Those names cannot be changed or altered. I use profanity in my name. I get it from the real life nickname that I cannot get rid of. I have accepted it and don't giggle about it everytime I see it. I am Chev of Hardass as in the Chev from Hardass or as they call me here in real life Kansas City "The Chevrolet Hardass".

Welcome to the real world.

I think that there should be no.... in the names. Well, who cares what I think because not everyone else thinks the same way I do. Ohh btw if you want you can go ahead and put some thou, thy, and whentsforth in there for realism.

I like to have fun, I like to make jokes when i made the character Chevs Trophy Winch the name was full of jokes. Everything from Family Guy to truck jokes. If you want I will change all of my character names to my birth name. Zachariah Paul Rivard, but that name if far too religious to properly represent me.

What's my point? Don't speak for the world unless you are invited.

woah cool down cowboy
thats not very nice way to put it

as for me ....
when i want to join a party, i usually just walk up to someone and request it. maturely
(although one time i abused the /beg command becuz i was REALLY trying to beat a mission and needen someones help lol)
but its hard for me to think of Agent Dark Bootie and a immature name at all
i dunno why
but if i see someone with the name cleocatra for example... i dont think it is any less respectable than valkyra or drake of flames etc.
i agree that there needs to be limits on names
but not that way you want
i only think there needs to be limits of CERTAIN bad word in names and if a game dev is playing, and sees a un acceptable name, he can give a warning and if the name isnt changed soon that persons character is deleted
but then there would need to be a way for the devs to allow you to change ur name ONLY with their permission and ONLY when they say

Confusion in The Ranks[tArD]

Mo/W

this is really small but i think for an optional choice whenever u die ur char could create a messsage that u could write in like if u die ur char would say '' arg i died'' or somthing funny or serious or whatever or u could just write nothing in the thing and ur char wont make a weird command just a funny lil though...

Also i think there should still be some more fun lil interactions between items and stuff. that have no significance but are just fun like in fable, where u could do dumb stuff but it just makes the game more fun(what mainly in my friends opinoin made fable good)

Great game going only a few suggestions:

1) When you lag out (happens to me a lot, Internet problem, not game) you should still be in the group when you get back in, so you wont lose ALL your progress, that gets really annoying.

2) More direction on which quests you need to do to get to Lion's Arch, I still don't know where to go. Maybe if quests say if they were required or not?

3) Option for GvG with more than 8, but without letting one guild have more than the other.

That's pretty much all of it, I may add more later when I think of them.

Added:

4) Option for a guild vs Guild match that won't affect guild standings

5) Skirmishes with chosen teams vs chosen teams so you can have tournaments, which would help with guilds who let people climb ranks in them by their battle prowess, and let friends see who really is the better fighter.

i hear that your 1) suggestion may not be possible due to security reason.
once you are disconnected...you can not get back on the game with same team you had prior to disconnection.
not sure if this is true (i just heard)...so dont quote me on this

This forum is crazy...

Back to the name thing, I can almost guarantee that some more limits will be set by the time of the release. I'm sure there have been billions (well, maybe thousands...) of filter/block/limit/anti-'insert what you hate here' and many others, and we have already heard Gaile say that it's high on the list of priorities.

A huge kudos already to the limits they have set in (more than one word, spacing, capitalization, no numbers or punctuation etc.) and it makes a huge difference in the feel of the game. I must admit though, that when GaNgStA WaNgStA walks past Prince Rurik it brings you out of the game. Names like these would be impossible to filter without ruining non-offensive names, and many people could care less. I think the only thing you can do is avoid the person, which I'm sure they won't care much anyways.

Anyways, I don't think we need to suggest anything name-wise, as I'm sure they will have their own battles (legal and otherwise) to fight. I'm also sure that there will be improvements, and that we will all have to accept what comes.


ok, this IS a suggestion board (that doesn't seem to be read by anyone of any importance anymore, but meh) so I've got a suggestion relating to the current theme (and I know I'm about to contradict what I just said...)

Give us the ability to mask names or words that other people use (in their name, chat, or other text). Either dis-allow them, filter them, change them, or give us the option to change them. I have to agree going into battle with Yurr Momma ruins the experience.

so you mean like a thing where if you see Yurr Momma, you can change how their name is portrayed on your screen?


and also
there is one good thing about the name problem that might actually be a good thing
knowing who to pick
if you see a guy named Eye Lick Bawlz, you prolly dont want him..... or her on your team
not really a stereotype but an overall deduction of how you would expect that person to behave like.
if i see Drago The Mighty walk by a second latyer, my chances of picking him..... or her are much higher
i think i stated that clear enough

As for the bad names, probably one of the best things to keep them from ruining the experience is to have an option to not show names at all over the avatars, so then you wont even know that the guy's name is Ihaxxor Joo or Salty Chocolate Balls (hehe thats from south park ) or even Gaylord Foker.

yes i pondered about that but it would only bring up an equal amount of seperate issues

Just as a note to you guys, this is all read personally by Gaile Gray of Arenanet, which would be somebody of very high importance, so your suggestions do matter because they are taken in to consideration.

Oh, and Agent. Why don't you start a new thread to debate the whole name issue. I did it before about gore being implemented in the game. This seems to be a heated enough debate to get a new thread on it.

I don't think we can all express how thankful we are for the oppourtunies both Gaile and all the people behind Guild Wars have given us. It's good to know our suggestions are at least being taken in account.

There shoud be certain trading districts in addition to the regular ones, and a trade chat that is used by all of the trading districts, so that you dont need to "hop around" the districts to find someone who wants to buy from/sell to/trade with you.

although i dont like seeing trade conversations in my chat....
i gotta dis agree about the trading thing.
its like asking for tv with no commercials
and saying commercials could be on a separate channel or something
people would only look on it if they NEED something and it might be hard to find
and from the loss of buyers, sellers would give up
and less things would be up for grabs and it would be terribly hard to buy things you need
however if it stayed the same, people will read along and think, " hmmm i could use one of those"
and, "i might need that later".
buyers would be able to find what they need and sellers could sell more
i do think there should be a "group chat"
so you can invite more than one person for a personal chat.

As much as I love your name because I loved Zim while it was on, I'm going to comment that TV only has commercials in order to fund themselves, it's the way they're making the money. The chat box has nothing to benefit from this. I think that a trade district would be good because if people are willing to sell that item you want and you say WTB...um...crappy bow, then the can find that guy who has the crappiest bow around can go and trade it to that person looking for the crappy bow. If anything, I think it will make it easier.

what i meant was that alot of times when people buy things, they weren't expecting to
they see an oppening and take it
how can they do so if they must go to a different dist
ya they might buy it sooner or later but they might not
and to me its an equal standing
i really dont know which i would prefer
but i personally dont mind all the trade chatter
i dont like it but i dont really dislike it

This is very true. I got two very nice staves on my first beta when I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. (especially since he said he was selling one, but ended up giving me both) I don't know, probably the best thing is just a was to filter out the trading if you want to. The filter could eliminate all the ones that start with WTS ect. this would greatly eliminate the amount of trade offers in the chat window (also if they removed most of the emotes from the chat. One of the few I can understand popping up is the clapping emote because your character would be able to hear that and there are no sound effects for that). Yes, I think a filter that you could toggle would be the best thing.

ya but knowing how immature people can get, you realize that they will simply stop saying WTS and say who wants or staff for sale etc.
there is simply no way to terminate this issue that i can think of

Oh, of course not! There will always be those who will do things different, but I think it would cut down a lot. Anyway, I don't see any reason why they'd want to get around the filter if everyone who wants to buy will keep their filter off in order to find a what they wanted. If it were implemented, I'm don't think I'd use it unless I ran into some people talking, RPing, or searching for a party and I wanted to say something and see the response without all the clutter.
Speaking of which, this suggestion is not to Arenanet, but to players; let's get more RP chat going on. I'd like to play a role as my character and talk amoungst other ones, I think that would be fun.

ok so its settled
just add an OPTION

and since this is the suggestions thread, i need to get somethin off my back...

one of my favorites aspects of starcraft was the cutscenes
GW NEEDS CUT SCENES IMO
i would advise that they be at least of good cinematic quality as sc (Starcraft Had Great Feeling of Cinema)
and of the same look and suspense as lineage 2 scenes
where everything was gloomy and fantasy like and the color scheme and the way that guy was about to hit that dark elf lady when the other guy stopped him.

the scenes would portray parts of the main story and such
maybe some battles for the entertainment of fans
and if it becomes a space issue, then stream it so it looks like sc cinematics
they were detailed yet very.... hmmm hard to explain
but i love seeing cgi from games and i realized that you already have VERY detailed models
so maybe as a side project?
just a suggestion

I think cutscenes would be a great idea.Prob with it now is that you cant enjoy the cutscenes cause party members just want to skip ahead.I missed out on almost all of the cutscenes cause of that.I didn't want to hold the party up when 3 out of 4 skip the scenes.Maybe skip shouldn't be an option as long as the scenes are not too long

i think there should also be an allow button so u allow them to go o nwithout you but when scene is done perhaps you can get teleported to near them

and cutscenes should be savable or in a little menue of cutscenes
like in the quest journal it could have a tab say "unlicked" and it would show everything youve unlocked(like weapons, cutscenes, etc...) and tell you how you unlocked it with a brief description

in the name of the part-cat guy from Catdog, "OI LOV ET!"
(i love it)

lol well im gonna go watch invader zim till i pass out
see ya tomorrow
