I'm really hoping that Factions focuses more on the RP world as far as with the chat settings.. Basically I'd like to see an RP channel similar to that of EQ2 where you can either talk in the regular global chat or RP chat with people who like to do that stuff. I noticed that nothing but the Allied chat has been discussed so far..

Also I hope the Trade channel is deleted since people just spam global anyway with their trades and they make a Trade house where people can either just go there and submit items on some sort of bulletin board and people just buy them as they see them and money goes to your stash upon purchase.. I dunno just some though and wishful thinking .. How about you guys?

That second paragraph was something I was thining of. They should make it where "WTB, WTS, Wanting to sell, Selling, Buying," and so on, are not able to be said in local. That would help some I bet.

Anyway.. surprises, I cant think of anything. But what I'm looking forward to, is seeing how trapping would be changed. Are new skills going to be available for the older professions, anyway? (In the preview weekend) I haven't seen anything like that.

A pleasant surprise I would like would be that March 14th news article to be wrong.

We really need an Auction House. I would love the trade channel but no one uses it. The community was so much better when the game came out, I could talk to people in local. Now you just get bombarded with people selling stuff.

A pleasant surprise eh? How about if Gwen shows up and gives me something huge and awesome in return for buying her that silly 200g cape 5-6 times each time I started a new char. Thx ahead of time Gwen.

I second that. I would love to be suprised in that the Invite email is more correct (focus on adventure, quests and the like) and the above mentioned article is wrong (focus on unlocking content via PvP and PvP mini-games; ala "competitve missions"). I want to play a RPG (RPG Lite even) not a semi-sports game.

Lack of "bad" suprises and I will be happy

Seriously, I expect a lot of good ones, they only hint at things and have huge changes on past updates or nice new feature that no one saw coming.

I want some specialized storage such as armor sets at least

More storage in Guild Hall at the very least... I mean common the Hall itself is pretty useless. Lets make it someplace to go to from time to time other then just for a meeting place for GvG. It should have some more functionality to it for the rest of the game. Not just the limited GvG battles... Personally I'm sorry I ever wasted a Celestial sigil for one to begin with.

A Panda Pet would be a nice surprise.
As would a weapons upgrade Blacksmith.
And an effective auction system would also be a surprise.

Fair NPC Rune buyback prices would also be a surprise. (I Mean I can see Minor being 25 gold... but Majors or Superiors too?? at the same 25 gold??? I would rather it go back to having some runes go out of stock on occassion then have what we have right now...)

A key ring inventory position JUST FOR KEYS. (Est size equivilant to a belt 5 slots for 5 different types of keys)

The Pendants Rings and Charms would also be a surprise, as they have not been seen since the Beta days...

And My Monk Silk Armor!!!!! PLEASE I want that back SOOO BAD!!!

Oh Forgot a couple. Larger friends list. and Much Much Larger Ignore list...

And easy ability to see Allies on screen. Like when the guild tag lites up gold right now for guildies. I would like to see the same for allies. Makes things easier...

Ability to go to guild or ally screen and see where members are atm. "Town dist" or "in mission" status. Then simpliy click like a whisper to join them in the same location. (Meaning in towns obviously)

Ready button lites on the party screen would be a HUGE surprise. I mean HUGE!!!
(lets everyone know when your ready to begin a mission.)

Oh and finally one I know they are working on, but I dont think will make it in chapter 2 yet. VoIP instead of text chat for parties... Eliminate the need for TS or VENT. And you got a happy bunch indeed... I don't mind TS at all. But when you get a PUG and they can't hear you because they don't have it. well its just not as effecient. thats why they often get kicked from parties.

1. Auction House. You submitt your items and forget them, when someone buys it the cash goes straight to your storage. Also make a special town for sales only, if you want to buy or sale something you go here and keep your spam out of my local channel.

2. Armor sets. Just like weapon sets, you click the icon and your armor is changed just like the weapons are now.

3. More storage space.

4. Love the key ring idea!

5. NPC replacement in missions. If you are in a mission and someone leaves then they are replaced with a henchman of the same class. I can not count the times i have been in a mission and people quit because they die and are not imediatlly rezzed or they get their cap and leave.

One thing i hope they do, and everything else would not matter....premade pvp characters....i absolutly HATE when i have to reroll between characters that i play often..i need a place to store my setups...attribs/skills/armor/runes/weapons...the whole thing, then all i have to do is delete the old set and load up my saved set. Everything else would NOT matter as long as this was done....pvp players that dont have pve chars up to pvp standards have to reroll often and that gets really annoying.

YAY!

Though the map may be "smaller" I think there may be more SF type areas (undercity anybody?) which don't appear on the map.

This will definetly help out.. I mentioned that idea to a friend in game and he was like "WTF IS VOIP?" I'm like its like what they use in most FPS games now such as BF2 and CSS so you dont need 3rd party programs.. Definetly VoIP will be a plus.

Same thing with the whole trade house, seems like everyone including myself would love to see one, the trade channel chat needs to go.. I say we petition it to Anet so they at least give us one of our wishes

OMFG WoW?? this is a GW forum WE HATE WoW !!! :P

btw on my wish list is:

auction house... put an end time. put a minimum bid. and a bid so its sold right away.

alot easyer couse for example. SCAMMERS.. gone the gold an k switch....

an possibility tojust larger the storage.. twice as more slots..

since we have twice as big world now and even more armor parts and all that. geez i can fill up my storage with only my monk warrior armor

and also for storage an possibility to have not a max of 1000k but of 10.000k wuld help.. als 1000k for inventory.. for trading to....

some more farm places like UW, SF, FoW and Tomb.

some more things to modd your armor.. like diamonts and chains and whatever looks nice...

HOUSES!!!! something like an guildhall.. guild village? or just a house you can get.. with an storage in it and other nice stuff see the auctions of auction house.. upcomming GvG battles etc.. updates and whatever you can think of..

and ofcourse.. playerslots..

and the in game vioce option its pretty needed...

anything i forgot?? :P

Auction houses would be great. I hate going into large towns and having to turn off my local chat. I usually play in international but that has been getting bad lately too.

I personally don't need more storage especially with 2 new character slots, but it would be nice to have so I don't have to wait for my packrat wife to move her stuff around.

I have zero interest in VOIP, however. I really do not have any desire to have to listen to a bunch of teenagers that think that the more foul language they use the cooler they are. At least with the way things are now a guild can set standards and enforce them.
