remove loot scale, make the game fun again...I get even less loot when with guildies, this restriction does no good at all :/

Like Anet cares? They have already lied about everything else. After the money they make from this latest scheme from all the unsuspecting, they will surely move on to selling a removed hero cap as well as an auction house along the lines of Ebay. That is, you can list items for a price. Mark my words you heard it here first.

I think the next thing they should do is a skill update. They should charge us $9.99 for it that way we don't have to use the skill update if we don't want to. I would be happy with that because it would be optional and I would have a choice. They could have started with this system back in Prophecies that way I could still be using the skills from back then.

More skills variety in PVE (or at least in Zaishen Bounty/Mission). It is rather boring to know that for example all Stone Summit Carvers in Normal Mode use:
"For Great Justice!"
Cleave
Disrupting Chop
It would be nice to make at least one skill slot random like this:
"For Great Justice!"
Cleave
Disrupting Chop or Dismember or Executioner's Strike.

I agree that more quests leading up to GW2. More lore is always a good thing. That being said, I would like to see a PVP focused quarterly update as well. The Zaishen Combat Quests are good start. We need more to get people back into PVP. Something to revitalize it.

What about a GW DreamWind's edition? You could redesign for free all aspects of the game and we pay Anet $10 for having the privilege to see this?

Seriously, can you imagine for 1minute (not 1s) how the game would become totally unmanageable for Anet or for the playerbase? I think there's a limit to the M:TG model they've been following and you stepped right over it.

Challenge Missions need a complete overhaul. They are a good idea but they aren't being used to their full potential.

Madeentje · Apr 26, 2009, 10:13 AM // 10:13

Make the character login screen more customizable. You should be able to choose what theme is used (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North) if you have bought the Campaign. And maybe add an option so you can choose the order of your characters.
Make an Xunlai Marketplace like every MMORPG has you can AFK in.
Fix Party Search. Make the text you can advertise in the length of chat. Give us the option to actually search in it, i.e. search for "Crystalline Sword". The search thing shouldn't be added though if they make a Xunlai Marketplace.
Fix Report system, are just delete it. It doesn't really work imo. I have the feeling ANet isn't really checking any reports carefully anyway, and this produces alot of unfair bans. Also you can only report people who are in your district which is pretty stupid too.
Give us the ability to "clean out" our titles. Sometimes I use sweets for removing DP on my main character, so that raises my Sweet Tooth title which isn't needed, 10,000 looks much nicer than 10,012 orso. Or just put a cap on all titles that can be "over-maxed".
Make 1 worldmap. I hate to pass through Kamadan and GToB all the time, it lags so much...
Give is more options in Guild-panel. You should be able to see the Guildroster of the guilds in your alliance. Maybe - not really needed for me though - make the guild roster more customizable by adding self-made ranks.
Make all weapons drop in the whole world inscribable, and also do that with all weapons existing now. This would make alot of people pretty mad, but imo it should be done...
Make 1 big skill balance, that balances all skills.
Fix all the bugs out there...Some are just few seconds/minutes work...There's an easy list of all bugs on wiki for ANet to do it. Armor clipping, Hero AI,...Would be nice to see them all fixed.

Once they did all this they could start adding more content like armor, missions, quests, weapons. But that's of course just my opinion...Also, in about 1 to 1.5 year you'll get TONS AND TONS of new content when GW2 get released. So stop nagging about wanting new content for GW1...

Some more things that could be made, but not really needed imo are:

What would be really nice but probably won't ever be added is a God Realm for each God.
Make more maps for HB, and fix some bugs in it.
Give each PvP-titles (Gladiator, Champion, Commander) and KoaBD it's own series of emotes. This would need alot of inspiration to make though, it would be fun to see, but it's not really needed imo.
Be able to buy perfect Weapon Mods at the Weapon Smith.

This is all alot of work, but could all be done before GW2 gets released. You saw how much they made now in 4 months of work. If they do 1 big update every 4 months, they should have about 6 more of these big updates.

PS: When I come up to more things I'll add them here.

Fril Estelin · Apr 26, 2009, 10:31 AM // 10:31

I think the next WoW patch (3.1?) will have a world-wide party search. So it may be time for Anet to seriously think about that, in particular with the dailies quite successful.

Sad part is most people who like the recent update use the exact argument I used in my post. Tell them to not bother posting as well? At least I was joking and they aren't.

What are you trying to say?

- I'm also think they said a "pet-zoo" like area wasn't possible either.

You never know, they could add another area/armor.

Indeed. Having larger quarterly updates allows them to tackle bigger projects. I still think suggesting whole new God Realms for GW1 might be a bit unrealistic though. But what is in the game now can be fleshed out more. Quests in existing areas. Races popping up in places they didn't used to be, such as the Asuran fellow in the Temple of Balthazar. DEFINATELY more changing quests like Nicholas and the Zaishen Quests. Something else that would be intresting would be to add bonus objectives to the Eye of thr North Dungeons. They would make them more challenging, but have better rewards.

Anduin · Apr 26, 2009, 01:26 PM // 13:26

- Runes/weapon mods/inscriptions of the same type and value stackable (though that would definitely clear up most storage woes, negating the need for more panes...)

- Weapon upgrade trader (would also negate the need for more panes)

- 7 heroes

- Lucky/Unlucky points scaling. They almost did this with the unlucky points. Naturally, with a higher % chance of the lockpick breaking in hard mode, you should get more lucky points if you actually successfully retain it.

- Auction house or anything that would fix the current state of trading and the countless hours spent hoping someone will respond and buy your stuff.

- I thought they said the Mox quest wasn't totally finished? Are they ever going to revisit this? I hope so.

- A questing title, or other titles that require actual gameply and not just clicking stacks of things.

More armor and god realms would also be nice.

Gun Pierson · Apr 26, 2009, 05:07 PM // 17:07

What's next? 7 heroes ofcourse

moriz · Apr 26, 2009, 07:13 PM // 19:13

how about....

-skill updates
-fix the multitude of bugs they've introduced with their content updates

Valcion · Apr 27, 2009, 05:20 PM // 17:20

Don't know if anyone else posted yet, but add a 4th Zaishen mission - Vanquishing!

In all fairness they(by "they", it usually means "Gaile") have, at various times said other things were never going to happen...

Name changes.
Appearance Changes.
More storage.

Just think. Only $9.99 for every extra hero slot!

Oh gods, I can see it now. For $14.99/mo, you can have access to Pre-Nerf Ursan, ER, and a 60sec, 30sec recharge shadowform!

Pistachio · Apr 27, 2009, 09:13 PM // 21:13

If I could only choose one addition, it would be a consignment shop or auction house(or even a personal shop, like in Perfect World). It's what I've been wanting since launch, and something I fear GW will never see. I guess I'll just hope for GW2.

Also, among what I have read on this thread I agree some form of sealed deck play would be great. I hadn't actually considered it before today.

FengShuiDove · Apr 27, 2009, 10:04 PM // 22:04

I'm not sure. But in my opinion, we were massively and pleasantly surprised with the amount of change and the type of change in this last update. Now that we've seen what can happen in 4 months, I'm MUCH more excited about the coming updates leading up to GW2.

If you ask me, ANet bought themselves a new lease on life with many people who will now be more ready to stick around and wait for GW2 or even further content updates on GW.
