Well title explains it all, but try to keep it serious please.

I have a some ideas. I would love to know what you all think.

I would like to see these things:

1) More variety of staffs, wands, and rods for each caster class. Way too limited now.

2) More useful skills.

3) More pet choices. If I had more pet choices I might just make a ranger.

4) More variety of armor for each class.

5) More space in storage to store for the new weapons.

6) More useful pet skills.

7) More character slots. Maybe one or two more.

8) Classes that branch into more unique classes. (For example elementalist can become wizards).

9) Maybe the new unique classes can unlock some new skills/spells.

10) More character customization. (For example more face and hair styles).

11) Maybe have a place where you can change your hair style and/or color.

12) Maybe have a place where you can buy/craft clothes to wear in town only.

13) Maybe have a special storage spot for armor. (For example my Mesmer, Warrior, and Elementalist has two sets of armor).

14) Have a white dye but I would call it "bleach" to dye your armor/weapons.

15) I would also like the lvl cap go to 30 or maybe even 40. That way we would have a reason to do missions/quests.

16) What about pets that you can actually put armor on. Maybe they wont die so much.

I may get more ideas later. If I do I'll post them here.

Thanks for reading,

Specific mounts for specific chars. Tyria is a HUGE World and I'ld LOVE to Gallop across it bypassing monsters(clicking on map outposts takes away the cinematic adventuring i want..tho I do it to avoid the mammoth mob infested trek!!!).

For ex Based on Primary Profession)
Warriors - White Horses or Stallions
Elementalist - Eagle
Ranger - Battle Cats(yup, like He-Man's)
Necro - Shadow Horses(aka like the Nazguls)
Mesmer - Albatross

etc etc. Ppl plz pitch in for this idea. It makes WoW ROCK!!!! (but thats the only plus there i think)

larger scale PvP battles.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want CHAOS unorganized random fights.

Large scale doen't necessary unorganized. I would like to see some kind of squad(sub-team) system and the big battle would actually have meaningful purpose. For example it will somewhat affect Tyria.

Also it would be good to add some PvE stuff into PvP fights. Such as DoTA type battles.

All previous post and ideas are awesome. Hows about changing weather & daytime so it's not always sunny in Pre-Searing Ascalon. I'd like to see the moon occasionally. ^_^;;;

Not a bad idea but WoW is is diffrent than guildwars. The whole world is linked together while gw you get "your own copy" of maps. So this idea wouldn't be nearly as good as it is in WoW.

I want to see a new "agile" class that is faster in movement than the rest, but has low base attack, but also very high damadge skills. Like say a ninja or some kind of assassin. that would be great. Also, I would like to see some kind of crossbow for the ranger

Actual mouth movement in cut scenes.

The ability for a majority rules on skipping the annoying cut scenes. Why is ther always one &&%^&&*^&&^! who refuses to skip them?

A toggle in the options to never, ever see another cut scene. I'd rather look at the boring loading screens when entering an new area than the stupid movies another time.

The majority rules is a bad idea.. incase you have someone who hasnt seen the cutscenes yet.

On the gamespot site they mentioned a new profession. I can only wonder what they will do. I would also like to see more diverse builds for the professions and more skills in order to facilitate this. Also a spectator mode on guild battles and pvp matches so u can see wat ppl tactics are etc, and some kind of friendly matches inter-guild to practise and hone skills. Otherwise i cant see much point in drastically changing the game.

I cant remeember where but i read that they were goin to make some large gameplay changes.

oh year and a more stable economy.

I would like to see more variety on ways we can upgrade our armor and shields. Using rubies,shards or ecto. Similar to the way diablo 2 worked with the runes and sockets.

And having 1 or 2 more skill slots added to the bar would be a nice touch.

More freedom in painting your equipment. Being able to apply different colors of paint to different areas of your armor piece.

Also, more god areas.

1. Better armors for all classes.
2. Better item mods.
3. Energy regen mods on items (not only casters armor).
2. Moddable Shields
3. Moddable Foci
4. Moddable Rods
...
101. More of the same (skills, races, customizations, looks and crap like that).

Oh yes please. Skip should mean to SKIP it, go to the game and wait for the ones watching it.

the person who bought the game is entitled to watch it if they want to without a group of impatient clowns yelling skip.

Watching the cut scenes doesn't make much of anything clearer. The storyline is by far the weakest element of the game. Plot? What's that? "We don't need no stinkin' plot."

Been there done that. And that's usually when they finally decide to skip.

Bards.

More crafting things. For those of us who love to craft, the choices are rather limited (well, mostly non-existant). It would be nice to be able to create custom shields, etc. Realistically, not everyone should have the exact same armors, etc. Other than adding runes, everyone uses the same armor sets for each class. Sure, FOW armor and stuff is nice looking, but it's really a pointless endeavor to get it since there is no difference between that and Drok's armor other than looks.

Better rods/staves/foci. Current ones are terrible compared to what rangers and warriors can get as far as their weapon bonuses.

Better pets.

Better Mesmer henchman.

New rune classes: Ultimate. Better + attribute than Superior, takes off more health. No Ultimate Vigor or Absorption. Only have them for actual Attributes.
Energy runes. Same lines as Vigor and Absorption.

To go along with better rune class: Raise attribute limits to max 20.

2 more character slots, so people can have more than 1 slot for PvP or vice versa.

2 more skill slots on the bar.

Bigger radar screen.

Make more NPCs randomly say things in towns.

Make more mult-part quests.

More PvP maps.

1 vs 1, 16 vs 16, and 32 vs 32 PvP matches.

Triple or even Quad Guild matches.

Make NPCs that recognize your "fame" from having completed difficult quests and give you a big "Hoo-rah!" when you talk to them.

Kill the eBayers/trade spammers/bots off completely by opening up your own official marketplace (just like Sony did, why should they be the only ones officially tapping into that $4+billion market when you could take a percentage and put it toward future updates) where people can get their gold/items that are put up for sale by other players.

First of all, what I would NOT like to see is a higher level cap or new professions. There is no room. Go away.

Anyway, what I think ANET needs to do is, instead of nerfing stuff, open up new opportunities for builds. Don't close them. They basically just killed the E/Mo Smiter, and IWAY is now less effective, and IWAY was already easy to counter (Emo smiters were getting a bit out of hand though.)

The best example of a build that needs to be reworked so it can actually be usable is the Beastmaster. Pets are only used during PVE mostly, and when they're used in PVP, it's for IWAY. The reason is a toss up between the fact that if your pet dies, you're pretty screwed, and even then, most pet skills seem like they were made for PVE alone.

Look at this:

Otyugh's Cry - Shout
All animals in the area become hostile to your target and gain +20 armor for 30 seconds. Otyugh's Cry cannot turn charmed animals against their masters or their master's allies. (50% chance of failure with Beast Mastery 4 or less.)

Otyugh's cry is an example of a skill that will basically do nothing in PVP. It can't make someone's pet hostile toward them, so it pretty much has no use, even if it COULD do that, it wouldn't be that useful. But if it could, it could at least provide a serious threat to IWAY builds. Anyway, for skills like Otyughs, they would need to redesign PVP arenas so that they have level 20 pets in them, and that way, maybe Rangers could have other skills to use pets naturally in the arena to their advantage?

Two handed swords/axes.
At least one more elite sword skill (please, for the sake of variety?).
Role Players district.
Guild alliances.
Up the level cap (just for PvE, I know all you PvP people think its fine).

Probably some more stuff, but its already been covered.

NO lvl cap for neither pvp or pve
Ultimate runes? I dont find this quite feasible at all.
Character emotion? Hmm maybe. Mouth Movement? Hardly.
New professions? Anet mentioned this themselves.
Guild politics/alliances/diplomacy? Hmmm might sound interesting... don't really know how it will get implemented though (sub guilds, guilds governing hall terrain?)
2 more skill slots? I don't like this idea much. It might break balance. Although I should be in favor as Im a Healer but I think eight is fine, had they need more they would have already implemented this.
More character slots? More like four pvp and four pve would be nice. But who knows what Anet would do about this. They mentioned considering it.
More weapon/items/better mods? I believe Anet will implement this.
More skills? Most assuredly.
Better pet AI? YEah this could use some work.
Better mesmer henchman AI/better overall henchman AI/capability to command henchman? Yeah this could be a good idea too.
More pvp matches? /signed

Waaaaaaaay more character slots. Well, maybe just 2 or 3 more.

But wait, if they add another profession, that'll bring the total to 49 character combinations.

Better have 45 more character slots, ANet.

But really, just 2 more would be nice for chapter 2. Just in time for my birthday maybe?

it might be the weakest but without it's story it wont be Guildwars anymore. it'll be just hack and slash, cast spells, kill enemies. without the story line what is the use of playing PvE(roleplaying).


I want to have more skill slots. WHY? So i could use both profession skills well. For now there are only 8 skill slots. I have 5 warrior skills 2 ranger and 1 rez sig. Maybe 10 skill slots will do.

The game is balanced for 8 skills. Just because you want doesn't mean you need.
