i think there should also be an allow button so u allow them to go o nwithout you but when scene is done perhaps you can get teleported to near them

and cutscenes should be savable or in a little menue of cutscenes
like in the quest journal it could have a tab say "unlicked" and it would show everything youve unlocked(like weapons, cutscenes, etc...) and tell you how you unlocked it with a brief description

in the name of the part-cat guy from Catdog, "OI LOV ET!"
(i love it)

lol well im gonna go watch invader zim till i pass out
see ya tomorrow

I think thats a great idea.Hopefully something will be implimented for those of us that like ingame cgi animation.

Arg!Well here I am again.I was in bed trying to get comfortable enough to sleep when suddenly ideas and thoughts ran around in my head about GW.Soo i decided to put them here before I forget.There is something that is missing in all the mmorpgs that I have played. A romantic feel.I think it would be a great idea to have a tab that you can click that can ask permission to dance or for a kiss.And have the couple able to actually dance like a ballroom dance together.It can have the gentlemen when asking permission to bow and when the ladies ask have them curtsy.Then when permission is accepted the gentleman or lady can hold out their hand for the other to take it.Have some suitable music play in the background for the couple as they cut the rug.But I truly believe that both the dance and the kiss should be permission only and not an emote that just anyone can do without your permission.Far as I know this idea has never been implemented into a mmorpg before and I think it will add a romantic feeling thats lacking in games today. Now for a pet peave that I have about the male warrior dance.I played a male warrior last weekend and while the dance is cool and all I saw people abusing it.I watched while a male warrior would go up to a female char while she is sitting down and start doing the pelvic thrust right into her face.She was afk so she didn't see it happen.But that action suggests oral sex.I was appalled by that action of someone just comming up to you and molest your char?I found it to be quite disturbing and told him that he was uncouth.Of course he comes up to me while I was sitting and was getting in position to do that to me as well but I simply got up and left.But the idea that someone can just come up to you and display something like that and that kids could be watching is just plain disgusting.I say do away with the pelvic thrust dance and add something thats cool but not soo suggestive.I understand that while the game was being created that the idea of someone abusing that dance in such a way was inconceivable at the time.But there are people out there that will abuse any emote that will suggest such things.Well otherwise I have been impressed with GW and plan on playing for a long while.

The problem here is if a man and a woman can kiss and dance in the game, then two men and/ or two women legally would have to be able to as well(I think). From your following comment I SUSPECT that would be seen as offensive and be abused.

This comment is only a matter of allowing someones immaturity to bleed into you. You think it matters. It doesn't. The dance of the Warrior, male and female, match the Pulp Fiction dance. If you wanto see it stopped then ignore it. The children will get bored and either play the game or leave.

Romanticism (sp?). For the rest of us, there is a wonderful game based on stragedy and fighting, not romance. IF you want romance stop by the local meat market (ha). Besides, very few people are actually playing as their gender anyway.

romantic
YES
i asked for something along the lines of bars, pubs, and other indoor, small environments
these places would have music in the background and every so often a dance song might come on and that is when your permission idea could come in handy
the ball is an excellent idea
but i got something to add
there wont be open balls just all the time
maybe avery weekend like saturdays
and on mondays through fridays, you will see banners in every city advertising the next ball
ball themes would change like one weekend it might be a pink hue
and the next, it would be a bluish theme
etc
and the signs would st things like
"Ballroom Dance
Colours Are Blue And or green.
Will be held on the friday of may <so and so>
Three More Days To Go!"

and the signs would be placed on walls and such
that is a G R E A T idea!!
I LOVE IT
the idea of a ball would bring more people together
imagine it
people will be doing quests together
and one might say
"so,..... i was just wondering......if you'd want to go to the ball this friday with me."
that would be So great
that needs to be put higher on the priority list
imagine the ONLY romantic mmorpg
its destined for greatness and the name sells it self
i commend you
and i REALLY hope gaile is reading these cuz lately there have been some hot topics goin around
and this one so far is one of my favorites
it just brings so much to the table when there is something as important as a ball
and there could be like a 20-50g admission
different districts so it doesnt get overcrowded
you would have to walk to it
and that would bring issues about how dependable people are so its like reall life
and i think it REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE!!
BY THE NEXT BWE MAYBE HAVE SOME SORT OF BALL ON THE LAST DAY
(yeah before we all get burnned)
IT IS A HIT

The problem here is if a man and a woman can kiss and dance in the game, then two men and/ or two women legally would have to be able to as well(I think). From your following comment I SUSPECT that would be seen as offensive and be abused

your argument is a VERY largly used on
how ever i believe that it IS right
not offensive
if people want to express their love then god let it be done
i dont care who they are
if people make fun of them because they're homosexual, then they are insecure and are only trying to "remind" themselves of how straight they wish to portray themselves.
love is a STATE OF MIND
and as such is not and can not be limmited to how you feel ir
or who you share it with
or what you do about it
those people who assault with words and such are the same ones who spam the chats and who are "teh oobure l33t haxoRs"
if i see someone being harrased because of their sexual likings, i will not fight back
i will defend
i would say to the defensive person at hand, " you looking for a party?" or "need some help?"
or something to show that the offensive behavior be not a representation of what the Guild Wars community has been composed of
i say PUT THE INTERACTION IN
and SCREW THE IGNORANT
if you wish to do, so shall it be done.




and as for the gender things
yes most people play as a different gender
i do
lol
but i think it is something like.....
i love the female form
NOT in a perverted way!
but in an embrasive way
the female body seems to have been built for emotion and understanding
it moves so much more gracefully
unlike the warrior lol
but i think there needs to be a thing like a bio tab so when you are looking at a person you can get their bio
know if they're male, female, both, not age(i think it would ruin the experience as i am 15 and with an iq of 147.5, i tend to seem like an elder.... plus all the characters are grown up and it would ruin it if you kneew the other guys was 12 or something, age should stay based on how long youve played), likes and dislikes, and words about themselves etc.

that way even if you're a girl monk and that girl/boy is a girl monk, you know that you arent feeling anything that you wont want to.
and when the ball comes around, you can make a new character of your own gender and dance/other with the one of your choice
also now that i think about it........

ANOTHER SUGGESTION!!!
in eq2, there were dresses and such which were ragdoll/clothlike physics
i would love to see this in GW
if it has too many issues then at least let people buy dressess and suits for themselves that they can wear to tha ball only
maybe if you choose to add private houses for people, they could keep their dress in a closet or something
and if they get some ink, they could dye CERTAIN parts of their dress/suit
and could buy accessories and such and wear magnificent costumes at the ball
and dresses would have clothlike properties as the capes do

I think it shouldn't matter if the character is a girl, but the player is a boy because really it's an RPG, a Role Playing Game. Therefore, if your character is strait, he's go for the ladies and if the character is gay he'd go for the laddies. It's all about fun and getting into the game. In any case, I like the idea of having a ball. That would be a fun social interaction that, hopefully, would be free of spammers. It sounds like a good idea to me, but I'm just not sure if they'll be able to get it done by release with everything else they're working on.

first of all
if it is an rpg issue
then get rid of "gender" thing in the profile so it remains a secret till you ask

and as for the spam
i dont like it at all
so that is why i said there would be a small fee
spammers have fun by not having to pay to spam
that is why there arent many spammers on eq2
but if they had to pay tho get into the ball they wont wanna waste it so much

[Tur713]

That would work then and the ball would end up as a nice gold sink too.

lol yes it would


and in another note
i think there should be some more animations for attacks
i hate how every incantation my cecro/monk does looks the same
what i would love is like for monks and monk spells sometimes when they heal they will like FALL to their knees and begin to pray
or maybe they begin to float and the spin and light beams out of their moth and such
and necros could, for longer spells, would take out a bag of chalk dust, or something and make that star thing and then do some sort of significant movement and the star would have light or flames BEAM out out it.
of maybe magic spells could have another anim so the person would throw dust up and it would sparkle as it falls
the anims would need good effects too
elementals, when summoning earth magic, could have rocks being levitated around them only to fall after the spell
or if it was water or ice magic, it could have steam or the water particles in the air around them could form water or ice crystals and float around them

dont just add these and dont make it random please
i just want som diversity in my incantations
i can barely ever tell which spell i used
A N D
G A I L E ! ! !
A R E
Y O U
S T I L L
W I T H
U S ? ? ? ?
i have made some, IMO, significant posts along with some of everyone elses significant posts
and i as im sure the rest of us do
N E E D T O K N O W I F W E R E B E I N G W A T C H E D ! !

I would suggest getting more character customization into the game. Clones are no fun

I also wouldn't mind seeing more particle effects for spells. We have such a nice game to run around in- it would be nice to see some pretty spells to go along with it!

Please do something more for the pets, to make them more PvP viable.

i asked for better customization too but alot of people think it will mess the game up
so my topic was closed

I personally don't have a preference for the capes, but as a ranger, since we already have the face cloths, having an option to display your guild design on the face cloth would be cool. I don't particularly like the whole menagerie of capes idea. But that's just me. I would actually like an option to turn the guild cape off if I want to. Being in a guild is fine, but I like to play solo more often than I do with the rest of the guild.

The samurai banner thing looks like it would be cool. As I mentioned above though, I don't particularly like the rest of them, although for those who do, this would be a neat addition.

One thing I might suggest to you though, is to save these concept pics at a lower quality setting. Sketches don't need to be high quality, and the file size on this is a bit large, especially for those on low speed connections.

[MoldyRiceFrenzy]

Ya well im writing this about the different creature colors . sorta like when special monsters are glowing with weird neon sorta colors and sorts. i think that those type of monsters should prob be glowing but i think special monsters like the ice drake in some mission where its a mini quest shouldnt be specially colored. it just makes it looks weird maybe just a little different custimization of ceature appearence would be much bettter

thank you for your kind words
and i also stated that you would be able to turn all off except one
but if they let you turn ALL of them off, then you would at least have to wear them when with other people but maybe not while soloing

and sorry about the quality

I don't mind a challenge, it's not a big deal to fail a few times before getting the right strategy or a reasonably balanced party. You're right that there needs to be difficulty for there to still be excitement and motivation to play PvE, and I think pre-searing Ascalon and early missions accomplish this.

Many wilderness areas and some missions, however, are just way too hard. And yes, I think I'll use the word 'impossible' here since I was not able to complete the mission before LA a single time this event despite trying all sunday long. And I do mean the ENTIRE day, I must have teamed with half the people playing this weekend or something. Some wilderness areas are also without a doubt impossible with henchmen as well.

Please, I'm begging here. Something has to be done to balance out PvE. There is no way I would accept a retail game having a brick wall of difficulty that takes days of trying to "find the right party" to complete a single mission. I seriously just threw up my hands in disgust sunday night and gave up. :-/

It seems to me that the difficulty level in the missions is not standerdized. What I mean is the first time I did The Wilds mission the team I was with went right through it with no deaths in the team! It was a pick-up team and one of the members was my guild mate who had tried to finish this mission 9 times before with different teams. I tried this mission later with an all guild team, including the team member from earlier and we weren't able to finish it, not any of the 10 times we tried! It was the same mission but the mobs seemed to be alot smarter and harder to seperate than the first time I did it. This also happened in several other missions. Oh, by the way, I'm against making the missions easier!

Now for a suggestion, I've seen lots of suggestion about letting others know that you are looking for a team, I'd like to add that in some mission areas where there is a choice between doing the mission or exploring the area there should be a way to show that you are looking for a team to do one or the other. I don't remember which area it was but at one point everbody was asking me to join for the mission when I was looking for a team for exploration/questing.

[wulf]

on the last BWE I ran in to a problem of A mob camping on the auto rez point of my char. (got killd about 9-10 times in a row )my computer is a little slow rt now till I get the new parts this week but it showed me that the rez points are not safe zones so I was wondering why not and if anyone else has run in to this problem maybe they could make it in to a safe zone so that when you die you have time to take a breath and figure out you next move before you get killed again would love to hear everyones thoughs

[MoldyRiceFrenzy]

it would be cool if things like hair gel or sun glasses could be found while questing just for fun for more custimziation , just to look for sorta like dye, just more stuff would be cool instead of automaticly making it on the char custimzation thing it would be cool to be able to find stuff like sun glasses for fun it would lighten the game up alot..

And i know alot of peopl are gonna thing this idea is stupid, but i like things like this mainly the really striched ones to the game. but well i dunno people prob arnt even gonna respond to this.

I don't know about the sunglasses thing, I have a feeling that would piss a lot of people off (I would find it amusing myself). Though I do think the idea of changing hair might be nice if, you know, your character get's tired of wearing the same old thing.

Wow... Gale has waaaay too many suggestions to read at this point.

On that note, It would be nice if you could double-click on your minimap to move your charector to a location.

as in like local teleporting or something?
alot of people would find that the same thing as cheating
and teleporting (unless you can wield magic or are 2 feet near someone who can)would be out of theme and might affect gameplay in a negative way.

can you give some more reason for it?
