Redfeather.6401

I get the feeling you play the same games as I do, Joote. I'm used to having quickslots too. I prefer the radial wheel mechanic for quickslots. Maybe a QoL feature suggestion can be made up top in the stickied section.

Someone here said that eso has a system like gw2's wardrobe but for stats. The system is different than that.

I won't spend time describing it. There is articles and videos talking about it. It is referred to as ESO's Stickerbook. That system was created to give people tons to do and make dungeon running relevant again. That system did not require a new currency, vendor, mini game or collection for a particle effect. I just think GW2 could use systems like that to feel less grindy and keep people engaged.

Can we get a[ skill monitor bar from guild wars 1](https://guildwars.fandom.com/wiki/Skill_Monitor).

Even if it's a gizmo activated thing for pve only. Like something bought off a vendor that activates a UI element to use in pve game mode.

There is a lot of clutter in game that makes it frustrating. How do we know what the enemy is doing to react to it. How do we know when to use an interrupt when there is so much visual noise everywhere. This skill monitor bar UI element would help.

If I look at eso's stickerbook system that is something that keeps me playing a long time without feeling burnt out.

Is that really the cause. Because other mmorpgs don't have this problem.

[**Skill Monitor Bar**](https://guildwars.fandom.com/wiki/Skill_Monitor) was in the first game and it added so much to the experience. Without that system in guild wars 2 I am stuck just randomly guessing whether an enemy is using crowd control skills under all the particle effects, or I am completely guessing on whether my interrupt skill, with a 20 second cooldown, is actually going to interrupt anything. I really think it's time guild wars 2 appreciated some of the things guild wars 1 did.

While I was fighting the final boss to get the griffon mount I kept seeing the pop up asking if I want to leave the instance. The boss kept moving to the exit area and wouldn't leave it. It was impossible. ?

It is a good system to get people to go back and re-explore old zones.

Yes it is very noticeable. I wish we had the option to use male sylvari with a different skeleton rig.

I wish we could choose between different skeleton rigs. Something is off with the male sylvari since the beginning.

Non tradeable gear that augments a skill against pve monsters.

eg. of a Greatsword

Hundred Blades leeches life from plant enemies.

eg. of a Shield

Can't be CC'd from harpies when Shield of Absorption is active.

The conditions to get a drop can be like a treasure hunt. If you salvage the item it could make a glyph that goes into weapons of the same type. Greatsword glyphs, shield glyphs, gun glyphs.

The game could keep adding them and people who want to collect them all would have to find out how to get the gear to drop.

I really wish stuff would be tuned down to not require 250 of this and 250 of that and 100 of these things are are made up of 100 of these smaller things. The game has so much stuff to collect and unlock but so, so many things are so grindy I can't even bother to collect most skins in game. If I look at eso's stickerbook system that is something that keeps me playing a long time without feeling burnt out.

I just saw it has a timer on the wiki page to help plan when to go.

Is the greatest thing I done in an online game. Everyone working together to do something so overdramatic and silly. And the music all the while. It was making me giddy it was so funny. Some of us were jumping up and down in the mosh pit while others were trying to fix the amp, and it was chaos but good.

A non clone/phantasm mesmer would get me to stick with mesmer. I mained mesmer in guild wars 10 years ago but cannot play gw2 mesmer without hating it.

The new player experience is not a good one. Karma hearts are just an NPC with an icon over their head expecting local errands of killing rats to raise a bar. A new player is going to see that as no better than the often criticized mmo questing system of older games and korean grinders.

Village on a giant moving turtle

Hey guys before flaming OP can we not agree that party progression for karma hearts would go a long way to making them feel less tedious and making grouping in open world leveling zones a more social experience.

Since the game isn't coming out on steam in the foreseeable future, I think the steam forums should be closed. Whenever I visit there I get caught up in all the negativity and it carries over to other places I visit. I feel it is making things toxic.

Karma hearts are widely considered the worst mechanic in this game and the game is often criticized for being anti-social. So if partying up would complete karma hearts faster that is a great thing to do. It is a smart thing to do to tackle two of the game's criticisms.

I loved guild wars. It was a skill collecting game like pokemon. And it was like magic the gathering because you combine skills to make builds. And stuff could be so hard until you got a build that was perfect for it then it would be so much easier. Pokemon+Magic the Gathering+Hard = a game I loved.

In order for it to be both fun and fair if the trash mobs...

1. ... have knockdown skills then I would like a skill warm up bar for them.

2. ... have immunity/evasion phases then I would like a way to interrupt them.

I get headaches from the gaudiness of it all.

Game Optimization/Engine upgrade has to happen at some point.

Tera was going to do it, but it was too late. So the game is in maintenance mode now... and a tera mobile game was made instead because it was just about making money to continue at that point.

What if using a stealth skill spirits you into the shadow wolf and then it stealths and you control it. You then get to lurk around as a stealthy wolf and plan a surprise attack.

Astralporing, I come back to this game maybe a few times a year and every time I install and log into gw2 the framerate experience is enough to kill my interest. You are fooling yourself if you believe poor performance doesn't affect player population.

Just to give example. In divinity's reach at lunar new year I was getting 20 fps with lowest character limit and quality. I had to use the dx12 dll wrapper to get 25-31 fps. I go back to elder scrolls online and a town of 30 people will not lower my fps below 50 fps and there is no character culling needed [thanks to their character drawing now using multi-cores in one of their performance updates](
