What are your petty grievances in GW2?

[Mokk.2397]

First one is the novelty control right next to the combat controls.That needs to go somewhere else.It's really annoying there.Second is the auto attack on yellow targets.Your trying to attack a foe or leap and you get hit a wall or some other annoying target instead .Need to fix the auto target on yellow PLEASE!!

How green or blue it appears to each player depends on their monitor calibration (which can be way, way off) and their eyes.

Once upon a time before ascended was a thing legendary weapons matched exotic weapon stats, when ascended was added ANET upped it to ascended levels. Anet doesnt want people to be forced into getting legendaries if they dont want them. The *only* reason to get a legendary in this game is because of stat swapping, and sigil swapping.

Yes give more pixels to satisfy the gaming population, give em more skins. More fashion pixels pls

 

[Blude.6812]

Targeting fix/improvement/update still is being ignored. I guess Anet doesn't have anyone with t skills to fix it.

My friend, this is still not good enough.. nobody forced me to make Khan-Ur or The Shining Blade.. I made them purely because I felt like it even knowing they have the same stats.. i had a good amount of materials (even I still needed to buy a ton of gold from gem store) .

From what I know you don't need legendary' s for raids or fractals or any other content.. making them is just not what you do very easily on a sunday afternoon, that's why i think it's a good thing to give them a *slight* stat boost, because they are legendary!

Personally I don't care for stat swapping or sigil swapping, that's not the reason I made them.

So true.

[Just a flesh wound.3589]

Petty grievance

 

When listing items on a sell order the quantity will first match the quantity on the top buy order if it is less, eg. If I want to make a sell order of 250 of an item and the top buy order is for 10 of that item, my sell order will list for only 10. I have to change the quantity to what I want to list as a sell order. There’s no reason for my sell order to match someone else’s buy order. I’m not selling to them.

Old topic. Here's a statement from before release in June 2012:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/is-it-fun-colin-johanson-on-how-arenanet-measures-success/

 

> Fun impacts loot collection. The rarest items in the game are not more powerful than other items, so you don’t need them to be the best. The rarest items have unique looks to help your character feel that sense of accomplishment, but it’s not required to play the game. We don’t need to make mandatory gear treadmills, we make all of it optional, so those who find it fun to chase this prestigious gear can do so, but those who don’t are just as powerful and get to have fun too.

 

[Atriark.8905]

They implemented a few instances of a kind of tower defense in a few early personal story chapters, and haven't done anything else with them

If they had any kind of stat advantage over ascended they would become mandatory for all end game, meta groups, raids, fractals, dungeons, etc and as the qoute @"ProtoGunner.4953" provided states, thats not what they want.

[Musaroxy.2874]

This one's really petty. The Ice Cat on the largest lily-pad in one the pond on the bottom floor of the Grove. The lily-pads used to be my favorite place for screenshots/generally hanging out in the Grove, but for the past two (or three?) years, there's been a mound of snow, with a cat sitting on it, and one of the nosiest snow-makers ever floating above it. (You can hear it anywhere around that pond, from any direction!) Sure, you can feed the cat and get it out of the ice block, but you can't get rid of the snow mound and snow maker. You feed the cat, the ice cube melts, and it just sits there in the snow. Forever. Making it impossible to take screenshots from most directions on the lily-pads without having a cat and snow maker in the picture. I love the inclusion of home instance cats, but I have an eternal grudge against this one.

jfc i started on that recently and the 20 day timegate is killing my soul.

[Phyxrgon.7305]

Charr armor clipping, distortions, and tacky stretching. Hard to make some heavy, and a good chunk of medium / light armors work when parts of the armors _sink_ into a charr character's fur, literally, or look cheaply warped.

 

Then there's the slight 'Rox' imitation total makeover kit-only face that's like has the face/snout perpetually tilted downward instead of straight like the other faces, and making most masks, glasses and things look really... out of place.

 

As someone who loves dolling her charr character horde up... it makes me petty with how limited this feels.

[Siska.8102]

The 'greeters' at the TP and bank. Seriously why? And the stuff that is basically junk that requires you to type in the name to clear it from your bags and bank.

While I agree with turkey. I"ll have to disagree with you in the sense that their can be good rng. A lot of games would be boring without it.

RNG is fine as long as it's an alternative path, and not the sole path to getting what you want.

 

For instance, ascended armor and weapons are available as RNG drops from world bosses, fractals, even gaining a level in WvW. It's great when that happens, as it's a huge savings on materials, but it would be awful if it was the only method of attaining ascended gear.

Would you consider the acquisition of materials bad In gw2 because you can only acquire them via rng? I know you can buy them but this is just a toughtexperiment

[Nath Forge Tempete.1645]

Grievances :

 

1. No Build template (huge time saver, gain access to more counterplay in term of specs in spvp more quickly)

2. No access to cantha (I m missing luxons and kurzicks guerrilla)

3. The redundancy of every single conquest map . Nothing new really ... stil the same capping nodes +1 or 2 additionnal capping node/ channeling that does something different depending on the map ( applied to all new maps : skyhammer - spirit watch - djinn dominion - colisseum - Capricorn) no "harder" mechanics such as flag capture or escort or even deadly mechanic if you don't do that or this .

 

4. So many other things but i might be seen a sceptical player while i'm an old anet fan . So i'll shush

Amen!!!

 

I hate it when I work for an item and it comes up as a trophy. I need it to accomplish a goal, but then it has no purpose or value, and I can't just delete it...I have to type in the entire name of it to delete it. At least let us sell it for a silver or something.
