GW2 Suggestions

----------

[drkn]

great job. simple as that, well done.
surely some ideas are missing, probably because they were outdated already, but i'm sure you'll keep the index up-to-date - it's in good hands.

[Shayne Hawke]

It was for that reason that I closed and unstickied the last Index. There are a great deal of outdated ideas in that thread, and I don't want people bringing back a lot of those ideas for discussion.

[AngelWJedi]

this is a cool idea! now if only the other sections could do something like this would make it soo much easer.

[Bristlebane]

Some ideas are worth repeating even though you didn't list them. If you list ideas like "Jumping, swimming, climbing, flying, easier traversal of terrain, etc. Basically add a z-axis" that will NEVER happen in GW1, at least consider some ideas that could happen.

Without saying too much what's already been said, I'll just show my suggestion with a photoshopped example:



That's right, a simple party filter! No need for advanced auction houses or other complicated solutions, all you need is a simple party search filter. Any programmer should be able to do this in 2 minutes, no server code changes or additional data storage required.

There are plenty of good ideas out there that weren't in the first post of the last Index, which is all I used to put together this one. I would much prefer to let the Index fill itself naturally with ideas that players feel interested in seeing implemented now, rather than asking everyone to start listing off every idea they've ever read so that I can stick them all into a list.

Thanks for posting this!

[samurai wasabi]

i had some ideers to
1) you must eat and drink in gw2
2) you have a fame infamy system
3) you can join different factions

[Shayne Hawke]

I will probably be doing something soon to deal with old threads of decent length and discussion in order to prevent needless thread resurrections.
