How GW can be better How GW can be better

1) the grind needs to be increased. its too easy to get to lvl 20. the hardest parts so far was Dunes-getting there
elona
& now i'm stuck on the rim of fire, 2nd city.

2) weapons need major overhaul. what warrior starts off with a huge 2-handed hammer @ lvl 1? a proper weapon would be a wooden sword
short sword
club
staff etc.
oh yeah, why are there no spears in the game. a spear looks sweet.
should of saved the dragon/fire sword for much later in the game.
they should make the long sword glowing on the edges for an end sword.

the chaos axe look good, but why is it so thin? u cant even get a grip on it. its like 1 micron thick.

3) too hard to ignore people. some spam. cant we jus click & ignore them. & stop the repetitive pinging. it should cost health to ping the mini map lol.

4) the graphics are so good, i need more ram or video card. now i got 620mb ram. dont know what to buy next.

5) i like when parties compete for resources. they should allow 2+ adventuring parties to be in the same area. then u hav to fight over quest items. & if u PvP, u get arrested. like hav a dialog box come up
"do u wish to fight another player?"

GW is holdin out for the expansion so they can make som mo $$. but they'r making money now in terms of advertisement, webpage, new players etc. think they'r stocks r goin up.

folks, great job on the charts & comunity works. they look fantastic! now if i could only organize it a bit more.

I can already hear the sound of the 'moving thread to proper forum' button being clicked now... There's a forum specifically for suggestions, why not try searching the Sardelac Sanitarium, I'm sure you'll find lots of threads like this there!

Whether the OP was serious or not, I will answer as if the question is serious at least.

In my opinion, the way to make GW better is for the community to work together to find real solutions to the problems that the community is discovering and dealing with.

If the community works together, and takes A.Net up on its gracious invitation (gracious because they don't have to do this) to continue to submit suggestions, and make suggestions that will improve the game for ALL concerned parties then GW will not only be one of the very best games ever, it will have one of the very best communities ever as well.

I'll take a stab at it.

1) the expansions will provide more for the rpg players I assume. Since obviously there is no more leveling I'm anxious to see the story line progression. Grind? I swear this term is too loosely used, grind is killing a single camp of mobs for hours on end to gain levels. The leveling is over at 20. The story however is just beginning.

2) Yeah the chaos axe is a bit goofy looking. As for starting off with a hammer why not? You ARE a warrior after all...and you can start right off at level 1 with hammer experiance so why not?

3) Ignore should be adjusted to completely ignore any and all chat channels for the person, including map drawing etc. - I bet ANet fixes this soon... probably one of the next things on their to-do list.

4) Don't know what to tell yah. Newer games typically take more ram and higher end video cards. Actually I've found GW to be pretty forgiving compared to other games with how beautiful it is.

5) Don't know I think you just fell off your chair while typing this so I'm trying to make sense of it. I would imagine a 1v1 arena will arrive... I think it would be a nice addition..maybe they will allow a 'betting' arena. Issue a challenge and bet an item, cash etc or whatnot. However I can see this not happening as well. Imagine the "So-and-so wishes to challenge you..." spam to filter out. Yuck.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at some of these posts that seem to be taking this seriously.

1) THE expansion for WC3 was a disappointment. hope GW wil learn something from that.

2) i can see starting off with a 1 handed hammer, but 2 hands? thats heavy.
but i didnt get a choice starting out. they jus gave me this big hammer.

3) its kind of cool the PvP they hav in diablo2. ppl can aggro U, but u hav warning. but if u dont want to fight, & some 1 aggro's u, the cops take them away. or the sheriff.

4) let people design their own maps & play them online. like in warcraft3.

5) GW only let u be human cuz they dont want to b sued havin kids think they'r minotaurs or elves runnin around in real life

1)No
2)No
3)Quit playing with immature players
4)Ask at the tech forum
5)That's something ANet was trying to avoid

And obviously, they have to make expansions since they are not charging a monthly fee.

I really like number 5. Not an open map that anyone can wander into, but it would be cool if you could opt to allow extra parties in the map, you could click an option either as you exit a portal that would allow the next party to go through the same portal if they so wished.

1-enter previous party's instance
2-enter private instance
3-enter new instance allowing next party to join

Then you could get competition and/or you could get 16 people running the same mission but the inevitable conflict would be only one party can complete the mission. This would be a good kind of conflict I think. Or the cleverer guilds and groups would have 8 people who don't need the mission escorting 8 people who do.

Storage
i think its too big. how can your storage items travel with u from town to town & between characters. thats too much magic expenditure. jus let us leave 5 items with the inn keeper in each town yea. then u hav to remember where u left everything.

Guild Emblem
very cool about capes, flags, sashes etc. can u make the capes smaller. its so big, i cant see my characters armor.

2 Parties
8 people on a team gets very confusing. 6 is good enough. 2 parties on the same mission, monsters dont stand a chance.

Dual Class
we can get 2nd class so early in the game! wheres the fun in that? u should get a 2nd class at lvl 20. then monks would really be in demand.

Monk
these are really healers. the shaolin monks were holy fighters, not really known for their healing.

Hench
there should only be a limited # of these in any town. say 12. first come first serve. pay 100gold when first hire. & 100 each day whatever. diablo2 has difficulty depending on how many players enter an area...wheres the fun in grouping with 7 henches?

Skills
whats up with the 100s of skills? wish u could have 2+ elites on your menu.

Weapons
some of the powerful weapons look dumb. lets hav a progression people. i want to see that glow on the godly weapons! we need spears! spears wer much more common then hammers in medieval times. lets start with
wooden spear
metal head/javelin...
high quality
silver
titanium
mithril/adamite blah blah

disapointed in the name of armors. anscalon, brute, gladiator. etc not very original! brute helms look horrible. u mite as well hav a terry cloth on ur head.

Overall
GW is a great game! the dances, graphics, detail are mind blowing!

wow i got 4 stars thanks!

they really have to expand their inventory.
Markers: bread crumbs. potions...rings...
when u sell an item, other players should be able to buy it. say u sell a long sword for 5g. u should be able to buy it back for 15g. it was always fun to check out what was in the stores in MUD (multy user dungeon) games. say u sell a vampiric sword or soul leaching. either its at some ridiculously high price or theres a message saying "merchant takes it into the back room, never to be seen again..." spies want it for themselves...
