I'm stingy enough to port to the Lily of the Elon to take the free teleport to the Black Citadel instead of porting directly just to save like 3 silver. And having to watch 2 loading screen kind of sucks, but players will optimize the fun out of your game if you let them 😉 (although this probably isn't even worth it gold/h wise...)

same same, and my loading screens take ages. 

I liked the idea someone had of making travel to certain cities be accessed like a mastery skill (e.g. fishing). That you had to earn through playing some story, getting a mastery (maybe a central tyria mastery so they would be useful even while beginning the story), with map currency, and/or a gem store purchase (like the world boss portal device). 

Making me buy a shared storage spot to keep my different port devices in, just means I don't want to buy many port devices.

As bank space is premium for some players, and myself, can we get the relics to stack if they are the same type? They should be like runes and sigils.

agreed that they should

Really hoping you guys at ANET have something planned to make getting the Kryptus essences easier/faster.

I know many people are really looking forward to finally being able to get legendary armor without the (unbearable to many) grind in PvP/WvW/Raids, me included.

Looking though what we know thus far in the Wiki, each piece will require:

• 3,000 Essences of Despair
• 1,200 Essences of Greed
• 600 Essences of Triumph

There are 6 pieces of armor, so a full set would cost:

• 18,000 Essences of Despair
• 7,200 Essences of Greed
• 3,600 Essences of Triumph

Assuming a perfect run where you get the exact split of the three essence varieties you need, that is 28,800 total essences, and you get 13-20 essences per tier 1 rift (after the mastery) so best case scenario you have to do between 1,440 rifts and 2,216 rifts depending on your luck with the RNG gods

You might be able to get that down to between 578 and 1,309 rifts if every one you do is a tier 2 rift, and you have an Uncommon Kryptus Motivation in your inventory to spend for each one.... but at 3+ gold each, that is between 1,750 and 4,000 gold to decrease the grind by somewhere between 40% and 60%, again all depending on your luck with the RNG gods.

Even though there is no day/week cap on essences like there is on the PvP/WvW/Raid 'map currencies' needed for those other sets, that is still an insane grind.


LATE EDIT: 

I forgot to include the essences you need to get the Astral Ward armor, which is a prerequisite to even starting the Obsidian armor! These require a Purified Kryptis Essence, which in turn needs a Amalgamated Kryptis Essence, which is made with:

• 250 Essence of Despair
• 100 Essence of Greed
• 50 Essence of Triumph

Again, 6 pieces of armor, so a full set costs:

• 1,500 Essence of Despair
• 600 Essence of Greed
• 300 Essence of Triumph

That is an additional 2,400 total essences to unlock the legendary armor. This works out to between 120 and 185 rifts JUST to unlock the collections needed for the legendary armor.

Can we have bulk crafting for Wood and Ingots? Sitting there watching 1000+ ingots craft can be painful at times.

[Mistweaver.7430]

Would like to see a feature where we can ignore various griefing/trolling tactics like dropping birthday cakes and having turtle mounts in the way so you lose your preferred buffs (yes, cake over-rides ascended feasts, thanks), makes it really hard to rez people in a stack; things like this can be rather obnoxious.

[retired.3790]

Just give the option to pin your most used waypoints for easier map navegation.

[Specialized.2635]

A good QoL update will be the following:

When opening a chest with weapon or armor skins, let there be a visual reminder for which skin you already have unlocked. Right now you have to go all the way down to see, one by one, which skins you already have.

You can write "Unlocked" next to the skin name, or give the skin icon some green border or some other icon.

Here is a visual representation of my idea: https://i.postimg.cc/5NFThyXK/Screenshot-3.png

My husband suffered a massive stroke almost 2 years ago at the age of 42 and now struggles with severe aphasia.  He has difficulty speaking, understanding speech, and is no longer able to read and write.  He plays this game religiously (how idk) and it’s one of the few things he has left bc he can no longer work (he was a physical therapist).  There are a lot of times he needs my help reading what an item does, what a character is telling him to do, etc.  Would it be possible to create a handicap setting that reads everything that is in writing (in a clear voice that doesn’t speak too quickly) if it is clicked on or hovered over?  It would make his experience so much more enjoyable.  Thank you.

Magic Find obviously does not do anything in this game.

It's fake/useless/a facade... or whatever you want to call it.

It does absolutely nothing; so why don't you remove this from the game entirely?

I've got 190% on the achievements tab + 20% on Amulet + 10% Guild Boost + 30% on food + 100% on boosters... and sometimes more.

I never once even got a precursor.

Not once.

Even ascended gear in wvw that used ro be frequent, now Its been months and got nothing.

It is obvious that it does NOT do anything, and it is all adjusted from your end as drop rates.

So why even bother having this in the game?

Please ANet remove magic find from the game.

It's not doing anything except give false hopes of ultra rare items that never come.

Thanks.

yea going from 0.000001 to 0.000003 chance to drop a precursor might seem like a nothing change I agree.

But how many white weapons and armor drops for you that aint upgraded to blue or green unidentified gears?

Please give us a lot more choices for dailies and weeklies. Once the player completes 3 dailies or 6 weeklies, make it so that remaining dailies/weeklies give significantly less AA, but can still be completed. This way, casual players who don't play much can just aim for the completion chests, but players who play a lot and want more things to do can still have more dailies/weeklies to work on.

Also, always make 3 of the dailies (and 6 of the weeklies) general dailies that can be completed by anyone, regardless of expansion owned or story progress. Dailies like "Defeat 25 Enemies" are general enough that players won't miss out regardless of their place in story. The remaining dailies can have more specific requirements, such as "Fly for 100 meters on a flying mount." This would also give devs more freedom and creativity on dailies/weeklies they can create, whether it's owning a specific expansion, LWS, mount, mastery, or even gem store items.

Also, I think the following would make good dailies (and some weeklies):

General PVE dailies:
Cast boons on allies 3 times (does not have to be player allies).
Kill 5 underwater enemies.
Complete 1 group event.
Loot 3 chests/containers (any chests/containers at JP's, world bosses, metas, home instances, maps, etc.).

Specific PVE dailies:
Complete a hero challenge (core doesn't have repeatable HP's).
Obtain 25,000 EXP in (region).
Defeat 10 enemies while wearing an outfit.
Glide for 10 consecutive seconds.
Fly 100 meters on a flying mount without touching the ground.
Use 3 different mount engage skills.
Hit 3 enemies at once with a mount engage skill.
Cast barrier on allies with the Jackal's engage skill 3 times.
Be in the same party/squad as a guild member or a friend.
Obtain (certain amount of map specific) currencies.

I would love if the Skyscale's Fireball skill could be re-bound in options. I use the number 2 skill for Griffon Dive at the moment, so fireball isn't useable for me without either clicking it or remapping dive to something else. it'd be awesome to be able to bind it separately eventually, so I can find another comfortable key to use for it! 🙂

This!  Why wasn't a mount skill 3 added to the UI settings on launch of SOTO?  Big oversight there.

[Spawnkuecken.5074]

• Confirm with the enter key instead of clicking ok.
• Delete items with a 4 digit code instead of writing the whole name.

[retired.3790]

Trading Post UI improvements

I suggest creating these features:

-A button to sell all items that have been tagged;

-A markup for choosing to sell by: [Current Buyers list] [Current Sellers list].

 

With these features we would greatly reduce the amount of clicks.

It would be one or two dozen clicks instead of the hundreds of clicks needed today.

 

How it works today:
You open a bag of materials or salvage some items and now you will have to sell a lot of things.

+1 click to enter the item page
+1 click to mark Sellers list
+1 mouse wheel click to adjust price
+1 click to sell
+1 click on OK if u wish to sell another stack
+1 click to sell the other stack
+1 click to close the item page
[repeat the process for each item]

Magic find definitely does work, just not how you think it oughta....

It takes 1000% luck to double your chances of getting better loot, so "190%" really boils down to about 19% increase in chance of better loot, and with all those boosts you are at about 36% chance of better loot. The cap is currently (as of 02/28/2022) at 750% Magic Find, which is about 75% chance at better loot. 

Note that is just "chance for better loot" not a guarantee of high value loot.

[Imba.9451]

Make Elementalists Elementals permanent summons in PvE. Having to wait for CD after mounting is REALLY interrupting the flow of play. Maybe buff their stats a little too (at least the normal ones), as this way, you wouldn't be able to summon multible elementals.

One of the things i would love to see. A gizmo that merges all the Portal scrolls/tomes into 1 gizmo instead of having 8 different items.
Cause you got:

• Season 3 Portal Tome
• Season 4 Portal Tome
• Icebrood Saga Portal Tome
• Arborstone Portal Scroll
• Wizard's Tower Teleportation Stone
• Fractal Gate Portal Scroll
• All City Portal Scrolls

Its a bit too much and who know how many more will come. I don't mind if it becomes a gemstore item but for the love of Tyria, please give me a shelf to stash all of this.

I would love to see a home instance unlock that allows us to load portal scrolls/tomes into an in-world device that would function like the portals in some of the lounges, allowing us to teleport to any of the locations unlocked with those scrolls/tomes.

[BlueJin.4127]

Please let us hide ally combo fields. I don't need to see dozens of ally combo fields obstructing my view to know that I'm literally standing on dozens of ally combo fields for the entire duration of the meta.

Complete a hero challenge.

This would only work for players with expansions, as there are no repeatable Hero Challenges in Core. 

[edwardjuliansmith.2431]

I hope thisis in the right place. Would it be possible to somehow bring back The Ritualist class from GW1 to GW2? i really enjoyed the class mechanics and i hope to see it again in the future.

[Fizz.9384]

Hey Anet, you updated Tequatl's Hoard so it is now stackable, but you forgot to do the same for Drakkar's Hoard. Please fix and thanks.

[DemonAtTheWheel.1804]

Whatever happened to 'Home nodes'.... we have not gotten a new one since Prismaticite node, which was Icebrood Saga

[preacher.9370]

Alright Anet, it is long past due for this to happen: the meta event participation reward chests we get spammed with. I think we would all greatly appreciate it if those were made to be on par with the other event reward chests that we can just right click on and they get collected and go away without the annoying pop up.

[Frostfang.5109]

Junk trophies

Please get rid of "glob of globby goo" and similar junk trophies! They are so pointless!! Make them copper drops instead. Only keep the trophies that are actually used for something such as collections etc. 

[Teknomancer.4895]

Please re-categorize upgrade components (runes/sigils/glyphs/etc) as EQUIPMENT.

They are currently classed as crafting materials (based on which bag they auto-sort into), which has never made sense.

[Biziut.3594]

More places for build templates, I beg of You. I do not have place to store my fashion and builds. Please make it at least to the 10, altho the more the better. My wallet is waiting.
