Right so recent updates has rattled a few cages and so have past ones . The main thing im annoyed at right now is the current state of the henchmen/hero AI and how anet ignore to fix it. I wont go into to details but I just want to make the game fun again , now alot of the stuff we have to do is much more like a chore than a game. So what could anet do for me to make it better? (These are what I would like , you will have different opinions , which is all good , dont argue about them and just post what you think.)

1.Remove the AoE restrictions->
In Normal mode AI only run when there low on life , which doesnt really accomplish much just wastes more time having to kill them . In hard mode there should be no restrictions either , just because its soo hard . When the foes can spit out 300+ damage skills and maybe your just playing around with your heros/hench you want your skills to be fully useful and not just cause them to break.

2.Remove Soul Reaping/MM Restrictions
This doesnt have to count for PvP but the MM restrictions and Soul Reaping ones have really just spoiled necro's over time . Alot of you are going to say well they were over powered , but in hard mode you want alot of allies to help you take down such hard foes and in normal mode it should be about fun , not restrictions. I miss the good old days of furnace farming with about 25+ minions which made the game fun and enjoyable , not a task.

3.Increase the henchmen/hero AI.
In normal mode its not so much a problem except in certain situations but in hard mode its more frustrating than fun. Hero eles just run around mindlessly and monk henchmen try to res you in AoE zones, why should higher level enemies be smarter than our lower level allies, you want unbalanced gameplay , dont look at AoE or MM's look there.

4.Increase the ways to earn money.
This so much isnt for myself as I have everything I need in the game but for other people I know this can be frustration. Theres very little options in how to make money , why not increase the value of the gold from quests/missions so people who just want to play through the game can enjoy it and get the rewards without having to farm for hours.

My final note is why not just seperate PvP and PvE entirley , loads of skills are fair in PvE but unfair in PvP and they get nerfed because ANET changes things to make PVP fair without looking at PvE. If there was two seperate sets of functions then there wouldnt be a skills fair and unfair.

Just my thoughts , I'd like to know what you all think .

Now someone should make a thread "How to make GWG perfect" and I would say stop having people post gazillion threads on the same dead horses over and over again.

Sorry if this sounds pejorative, but seriously people got to stop posting these stuff over and over again.

FoxBat · Jun 09, 2007, 04:57 PM // 16:57

When was it ever perfect?

WTB lock on clever troll thread.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, not based on what you want to read.. if you are bored of reading same thing over and over again, try posting something interesting and read it over and over again, then pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Stop trolling around and try posting on topics that actually interest you instead. Got it?

---------------------------------------------

Hi, To make GW perfect again, is to remove Loot Scaling from Normal Mode so that people can buy something in less than 100 hours of farming.. You want people to play the game normally, please give the incentive to play normally. For a year now I've played an elementalist and I used to be able to make (if I only have a few hours to spare) 10k in 2 hours, EASY just vanquishing NORMAL mode and killing bosses and opening a few chests in doing so, all the while being able to aquire Lightbringer points to my heart's content.

Now, in normal mode the same amount of work nets me NOT EVEN ENOUGH to buy a KEY! And in my opinion that is sad. I want Old GW back.. otherwise as for all the other issues in the game related to skills and other things.. I don't really care because it doesn't affect me.

I enjoy being able to kill monsters and getting a reward for it. I do not enjoy getting killed down to -60% DP and returned to outpost within 5 minutes for 200 gold and a purple item(based on my crap luck).

As for Bots, good job on removing 3,500 of them so far off the game. And excellent job making their days longer and harder. But I believe that because Bots usually operate alone, the chances of them getting henchmen is slim to none. I believe that if you return the game to normal, but leave the part where you have to be in a Party of 8 to get more rewards(like in Hard mode) then te game will be more enjoyable to the common casual human player.

I think I know why every event is centered at reducing the price of everything... because people can't make money any other way then to act just like a bot... Solo Farm. I have never and will never want to be a solo farmer, nor will I ever want to join PUG groups and vanquish Hard Mode . I just want to vanquish Normal mode and get rewarded at least 50% of what Hard Mode players get for their efforts.

Fair enough?

I just created a new character and I'm lvl 9, you want to know how much gold I made with this level 9 so far ? no you don't want to know. I made enough to buy only my character's necessities. nothing else. My heroes will be holding Starter Weapons until I finish Nightfall I think at this rate.

Yes eliminate bot, but don't eliminate FUN or the POINT of playing.

Diddy bow · Jun 09, 2007, 05:37 PM // 17:37

Id personally ditch loot scaling, the pvp reward system and unerf some of the paras skills. A-net deosnt understand that somthing that isnt broken deosnt need to be fixed

.

Oh yea and have 1000000 red crabs raid towns and kill everyone once in a while =D.

ZenRgy · Jun 09, 2007, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Remove paragons, dervishes, assassins and ritualists.

Ok, let's all make a post about how to improve guild wars, that would be a sum of maybe 10 000 posts or even more. Seems like this topic interests you alot, so go post in those 10 000 posts and wait to see the 10 000 replies you get and so on. Then pat yourself on the back for a job well done

SlyClone · Jun 09, 2007, 06:13 PM // 18:13

Nice "original" comeback.. very interesting.. but not worth a reply.

notskorn · Jun 09, 2007, 06:38 PM // 18:38

Remove Nightfall and Factions, problem solved

I still like the idea of party towns where you can buy beers and sweets (as the only way to max Sweet Tooth outside an event is to collect 30,000 Mandragor roots) and these towns can have a random event every hour such as attack of the crabs or raining meteors or anything that would get people saying "wtf". It would be a good place for people that like to dance and want to find others that will dance with them.(everyone always saying "EVERYONE DANCE" in pre-ascalon). And we can have another as a major trade hub to try stop the spam.

(I know i used the term "Random Events" and no doubt someone will compare this post to Runescape and i did borror alot of this from a thread a week or so ago)

O and this would make the game perfect before i get accused of hijacking thread

garethporlest18 · Jun 09, 2007, 06:48 PM // 18:48

Present new rare weapons every month that skyrocket in price to about 100k-100+200e. Make them farmable somewhat, but not easy to get. So that way we can all be making big bucks again. Cause I'm sick of this small time, I know some of ya'll out there are making bucks but I and a good portion of others aren't.

Sorry for the ghettoish style sounding talk something come over me today idk.

Factions is fine.

GuildWars went straight downhill after the release of Nightfall.

Get rid of all the whining, nattering, spoiled little crybabies that clog the major towns and make it miserable for those of us who still enjoy the game despite the recent changes.

GW is still a great game... if you ignore the human element.

YES!!

I hate to draw a direct comparison between games but WoW has fairly frequent server events where something particularly nasty will siege a town. This would be so incredibly awesome if it happened in GW!!!

Exaxtly the reason for my obvious answer.

Allow 7 heroes in PVE.

taco_salad · Jun 09, 2007, 08:18 PM // 20:18

I'd rather have Anet spend all thier time on GW2. 1 great thing is better then 3 "ok" things.

samcobra · Jun 09, 2007, 08:21 PM // 20:21

um... fix pvp because its horribly broken... add enriching content instead of encouraging people to do retarded, repetitive actions like farming, etc. Discourage and nerf skills/builds that require less skill and reward players that display a greater level of skill. Encourage team play. The reason GW went to hell after NF was the introduction of heroes. Part of encouraging team play would possibly be the introduction of a built-in VoIP that would allow players to communicate effectively and the implementation of some form of system to differentiate skill levels of pugs in pve.

icymanipulator · Jun 09, 2007, 08:25 PM // 20:25

I cannot agree with VoIP in GW personally. I can't stand the way the majority of people behave in game on written text, I certainly wouldn't want to be forced to deal with it in live chat.

If you read this thread ANET please consider doing some sort of town sieging on a semi-regular basis!!

1. Fix PvP, first and foremost introduce frequent skill balances.
2. More ways to earn money; more moneys for doing quests and repeating missions.
3. Less grinding. Less grinding. And less grinding. No lifers please move on to Lineage.
