While you're at it, make Ele's overpowering again, make gold worth nothing, make our henchman smart enough to fight without us... aaaand let the game play its-self

If you can't take a challenge, don't play. It's fine the way it is. But hey, I haven't played for months.

1: Realise that the game was never perfect in the first place.
2: More skill balances.
3: Less grind. (money, levels, ranks)
4: Boost rewards for other PvP other than HA.

Warrior Of The Toon · Jun 09, 2007, 08:43 PM // 20:43

1. Some real events - sieges, non-instanced areas with giant demi-gods invading every now and then, etc

2. More end-game content

3 - Ignore 1 and 2, and work on GW2.

Oh and to the OPs ideas

1 - Added to add more challenge and be more realistic...
2 - The SR changes are already temporary, MM restrictions stop Ns being overpowered, and hard mode is supposed to be hard
3 - Ok, so you think that Anet have some hidden away improved AI, but gave us what we have for fun? No. They gave us the best AI they could make at the time of the last AI update
4 - Go study economics, just adding more money doesn't help the game, it reduces the value of the gold piece, increasing the prices of items, and with a 100k cap on cash in invent demand for ectos etc would go up, which would make the price of ectos go up even more (low supply, astronomical demand)...

Remove loot scaling so that I can make money by playing the game instead of getting very lucky with a rare item and then getting even luckier by finding someone to sell it to within a reasonable amount of time.
If that isn't possible, then do something so that people who farmed like hell before anti farm code and loot scaling that were able to get all the money titles (Drunkard, Sweet tooth, treasure hunter, Wisdom, Skill Hunter) aren't rewarded for this when those of us who didn't farm up a fortune can still get those titles without having to do 8 times the work that those others did.

I agree with you all about how hard mode shouldnt be changed , but the aspects around it should be. I like the challange but somethings the Hench/AI is impossible to work with and for numerous occasions they just litreally run off , even when flagged.

I dont agree that more time should be spent in GW2 than the current games , theres been alot of investment by thousands of people in this game and they shouldnt just abadon it , that would be firsty completley stupid and secondly a complete rip off.

MM restrictions stop Ns being overpowered=======
A decent ele could wipe out 10 minions in a matter of seconds , and before update it was the same so I disagree with you on this matter.

I dont want the game to just give away money , I want people to be rewarded more with the stuff they enjoy doing. Itll make the game more enjoyable overall , even if its not gold just give us some weapons that cant be traded or something , its all about shooting ideas.

I also think there should be free chests in cantha and tryia.

Its nice to see a decent response and too those who complain dont , its not about complaining its about looking at problems and seeing solutions . Lets keep them firing

I would very very much like to see some sort of epic content...we are not talking a month long 30 man raid ala WoW...I mean some kind of super-mob(s) that could siege towns and would take very large groups to kill. Some of my most enjoyable experiences have been taking down exceptionally challenging single bosses...think Rotscale but the current 2 monk setup couldn't pull it off. We are talking like more than 12 people to get the job done.

Yes I realize we have these in elite zones, but more streamlined, more of them...and content that doesn't take 2+ hours with a party wipe total failure.

What makes that really fun is that the people sieging the town are players, hehe.

No game is ever perfect mechanically. What makes a game perfect to players is when they really enjoy the game they like playing. So no matter what skills they nerf,change,fix or whatever you want to call it not everyone will be happy. I enjoy GW1 because its tons of fun

bah.. I have a feeling I will have to adapt to the new GW and start farming like a bot.. maybe join useless PUGs and follow "metagame" even for PVE ffs, since build creativity and being able to use Hench/Heroes to achieve most of my goals has been completely incapacitated with the introduction of Hard Mode/Loot Scaling. I really wish I hadn't complained back in November about Bots. I wish I would have just moved on and ignore them. But it's true what Anet says.. the price of things just got worse.. but at least I was making money and having fun. And it was great to know that it could take only a few days to save up for a Superior Vigor.

Sure now if I play Hard Mode, for example, I have to look a build up and play it, adapt to it.. it feels like I'm obligated to do so, just to get ahead. It doesn't allow me to use my own imagination and try to come up with something that suits my combination of heroes/hench and my own profession choices have to be altered to suit the game.

PVPers who decided that having a freekin PVE character in a GVG match was even better than just using a PVP only character. The armor choices for the GVG virtual fashion show are broadened. Because they are observed every day by wanna be's. And love to show off their LEET warez. They used PVE to farm/cap every single elite skill in the game and then join PVP guilds to play and pwn everyone, using only what.. the same 20 metagame builds that everyone then has to use also to be able to beat the top 10 GVG guilds... IMO that's pretty "one-sided" and closes the door to way too much of the functionality of the game.

I'm willing to bet if there was a complete reset of the GVG ladder that allowed JUST 1 team to get ahead using a completely different set of skills and professions, then re-opening the door to the Ladder again would change the Metagame for ever. Because then people who can't beat this new 8-person Build need to create something that will beat it. Thus, the metagame would never be what it is today.

Introducing many new PVE skills with GW:EN in the near future might alleviate my point about Hench/Hero combinations being utterly useless in Hard Mode. But until then, what? Do I have to team up with people who won't kill things in the order that i want unless I go out to the electronics store and buy a new set of Headphones and a Mic so I can yell at them how to play their game? NO THX.

I want the freedom to play the game how I want to play it without the constant professional player/farmer's input about how I should do things. I want to play Normal Mode knowing that everything I do is fun and rewarding and makes me want to do more. I want the CHOICE NOT TO play Hard Mode if I do not feel it is feasible to play with Hench/Heroes, or with the current build I took over 4 months to create to be able to kill some of the monsters in Normal Mode. I do NOT want to have to completely re-learn the game just because bots can earn 300k per day more than me.

Give us several good community reps who answer direct questions with direct answers and don't gloss things over when they don't know or can't tell.

- Introduce offline mode before GW2 arrives.
- Increase loot drop quantity and quality, get rid of exceptions in loot scaling.
- Remove player trading, everything must go through NPC traders.
- Buff counters to skills instead of nerfing skills
- Make a PvE counterpart of the ATS skin unlock system.

Monkty Monk · Jun 10, 2007, 04:19 AM // 04:19

.....wait.....wait for it.....i said wait for it.....ok wait for Gw2 isnt it supposed to be super awesome with a lot of the stuff we want?
by we i mean what we voted so 51% of us. at least.

pork soldier · Jun 10, 2007, 05:03 AM // 05:03

To make GW perfect the people who skill balance and design it actually have to play it. Since Izzy got himself WoW addicted a few months ago PVP has gone to crap, it's pretty clear that Izzy was the one person who understood PVP skill balance at Arenanet.

Sol Deathgard · Jun 10, 2007, 05:10 AM // 05:10

Here's the simplest solution, all the people that are crying about loot scaling but are too lazy to play HM, all the people crying about SR nerf, All the people that cry that HM is too hard because you are too lazy to change your build, all the people that cry that such & such build in pvp is overpowered because you are too dumb to think of a counter, all the people that complain that Rits, Sins, Paras, & Rits have ruined the game, Uninstall the freaking game and play something else.

arcanemacabre · Jun 10, 2007, 06:00 AM // 06:00

I don't remember GW ever being perfect. Every game has flaws, none are perfect. Honestly, the only game I would ever consider close to perfect would be Tetris.

I like GW, and I've always liked it, but mainly because there's not a better alternative out there, IMO. What I would consider a better game would be a far cry different than how GW, or any other options we have. Now, I must say, Sword of the New World is looking decent...

klrk · Jun 10, 2007, 06:21 AM // 06:21

i'm agree with the improve ai of henches and heroes
some monk henches don't heal , instead they fight
some warrior henches went leeroy jenkins , aggro all mobs in the area
its kinda frustrating to use henches

Thats not a solution , the game will still be on going downhill even when were not there , so think about what you post. Noones said anything about HM being too hard but im gunna add that they did annouce guild wars to be a casual gamers game and a long hour gamers game and there isnt much you can do if you just pop on for 30 minutes while you and play real life.
This isnt a crying thread , well its not intended to be . I just want to see what people want from the game and main ones right now are :

-Sort out the Henchmen/Hero AI quick time.
-More ways to earn money , possibly by what people enjoy doing , not what they have to do because they need something.
-Try to slow down the grind
-PvP balancing monthly
