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.

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). |

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.

And I'm being truthful when I say there was a character with Dildo in the name. He must have slipped through the cracks

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.

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. |

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.

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.

there is simply no way to terminate this issue that i can think of |

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. |
