Isn't that what Asian mmorpgers love, though? Well, at least Asian mmorpg companies love to make their games that way.

I would love to see two things:
1) still hoping to see Inscribable drops in Cantha and Tyria

2) ability to add more weapons into HoM (like BMP skins & any greens)

This. I think they should make Prophecies and Factions match Nightfall/EOTN with the enter mission button removed and the more obvious portals to new places.

And let us view ALL storage at once like inventory bags.

BUT MOST OF ALL... START FIXING SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES.
Some professions should have PvE/PvP versions of their primary attribute created.

We pulled in a lot of people to work on this update, people who are working full time on GW2 (many of them worked out of office hours and in their spare time). We may call on the help of fulltime GW2 devs with the next Content Update, but it depends on their schedules.

Wouldn't using already existing armor art *cough* White Mantle *cough* make it less of a burden?

What's left?
An equivalent of fow and uw for the other god's shrines, if they make it drop some good lookind stuff and make it so permasins get dmged through SF that could keep people busy for nearly a year.

The creation of content management and development systems and procedures.

This could also be useful for Guild Wars 2.

I mean, we have seen a list of people connected to the Live Team, and it is not that small.

The creation of any kind of new content, areas, bags or even something like a moving collector seems to take months. And the team still has to crunch a lot. Brrr!

Nobody can put ideas and especially good ideas and concepts on a schedule, but maybe there is need for better tools, better procedures or maybe less overhead when it comes to implementing ideas and all that into the game.

Given the described situation, for what can we hope? The team seems to be so small that I do not have hopes for anything major.

Live team did a wonderful job and should be proud. The team that failed epicly was the marketing/sales/pricing team... unless their job was to ruin live's team work putting overpriced tags everywhere. Greedy b*st*rds.

Last content update? I think that was EotN and the bonus missions, this update wasn't a 'content' update. I'm not saying it wasn't one hell of an update, just it wasn't a content update.

What's left to do is that, add some new content. Balance (not live team's job anyway). Perhaps some new quests featuring new skillbars on already existing enemies, quests log & quests title (% of quests completed), new emotes perhaps.

Sucks that the extra storage got ruined either by price or grind. I'd be better off without extra tabs but with an increased capacity in the materials tab and more stackable stuff (runes, inscriptions, etc). That's what I would call a real storage improvement.

Still wanted after this update
* Stackable runes
* Stackable inscriptions
* Increased capacity to materials in materials tab
* 3+ heroes (even if only 3 can be controlled and the rest behave as henchies with custom armor custom weapons and custom skillbars)
* Drop statistics (percentages, totals, etc), wouldn't that be nice? Display them in a new window or just have a /command to display current stats in chat window.
* Jumping! (nah, I'm kidding on this one, jumping is overrated :P)

First two aren't likely though.

^ This. having to go through crowded cities gets really annoying. Surely it can't be that hard to be able to cycle through the maps?

Note that I said we don't have a _dedicated_ artist for Live Team. We got a lot of help from people who are working on GW2 full time. They work on their spare time. We couldn't have releases this update without their help. Even with reskinning, we would need artist resources, and right now that's pulled from whoever's available to spare time from GW2. That needs to get scheduled and planned with the GW2 team -- who all of course have their own production deadlines to hit.

Some people are missing the Fort Aspenwood end cutscene. It was mostly annoying and got removed.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10371288

But now we cannot see it anymore at all, but the work has been done, the cutscene exists, so why not give players an option to watch it?

Gunther has already a text button that allows players to watch the opening cutscene.

The Live Team could add one more button for the ending cutscene, a la

"This is how God's Vengeance is supposed to work".

That leaves one wonder ... what exactly is left for August update?

Actual new content?

Or even... a decent skill balance going over a ton of stuff?! *Tyla scratches his head*

Tamuril elansar · May 02, 2009, 03:26 PM // 15:26

7 heroes.
Maybe also the ability to buy extra heroes for $9.99 each.

Aljasha · May 02, 2009, 07:15 PM // 19:15

i only wish for decent pvp modes beside gvg, ra/ta and tombs. i saw npcs getting nuked for too long.

LONGA · May 02, 2009, 08:10 PM // 20:10

Ability to teleport to visited Eotn dungeon perhaps.Might charge for some gold if needed

The first two would be so cool though! I've always imagined what melandru's realm must look like. I imagine it as a giant forest. Lyssa's would be like wonderland or something.

faraaz · May 03, 2009, 09:58 AM // 09:58

I see people asking for skill balance a lot here. What on earth do you want that badly? SF + SY! + CoP Rape? RoJ Nerf? What else? This is getting old...less q.q please.

And on topic, I would kill to have a half decent auction house feature in game.

Same here. Sitting in Spamadan isn't playing the game for me.

yeah it would be awsome
with a new set of elite armor

englitdaudelin · May 03, 2009, 06:37 PM // 18:37

If not new, fresh armor.... the ability to swap armors skins from one class onto another.

So, a derv could buy ranger or rit-skinned armor, or even paragon or mesmer.

Paragons can finally get armor that doesn't have nice metallic nipples.

Essentially, make any class's armor SKIN available for all other classes, set to the appropriate armor level.

Whoever suggested Zaishen Vanquishing needs a pat on the back. Smart idea.

Repairs to spawning power.

A Zaishen armor skin as reward for Z-coins (100 gold coins and materials? Requirement that the coins be earned in any combination of Z-Bounty, Z-mission, and Z-combat, but needs to include all 3?)
