You can always use the 'eye' icon so you don't have to open the Wizard's Vault repeatedly.

Heh, yea....but I have too much up there already 🤣

1. New Mounts for WvW. 

Add a [New] Siege Devour (Huge Scorpion), and the Siege Turtle mounts to WvW; with capability to knock down walls and gates.

I think this would be amazing additions to the game, and liven up wvw 100% , making it a lot more fun.

Imagine having 2 or 3 siege mounts escorted and guarded by a horde of Warclaws, while they do their thing.

We have Charr Cars already as a tactic to slot in camps. You can take down walls/gates with it. It's fun!

[Spiral.3724]

Can't remember if I've already suggested it but I think there should be a hidden achieve for 10,000 deaths with a funny title like "Honorary Leeroy" or something.

[ProfCarson.7124]

Since the new Corrupted Hero's Weapon set requires Hero's Weapons to craft and many people just salvage the non-exotic weapons they get from reward tracks, could we have the option to rebuy the Hero's Weapons we've unlocked one time? This is a similar situation to when the Illuminated Boreal Weapons from the Icebrood Saga were released. People would salvage or sell their Restored Boreal Weapons not knowing they'd need them later for crafting future weapons. To fix this, a vendor tab on an NPC merchant was created to sell account bound versions of the Restored Boreal Weapons one time for some silver and Eternal Ice Shards.

[willow.8209]

agreed

also there's a similar stone that calls out texts about metas for HoT and lw 1 (by all the gods, no more vocal call outs directly to my character's headset except when i'm purposely advancing story) . It'd be nice to expand that as well.

I know... they are fun... but... they are not Siege devourers. 

😁  

Have you ever played GW1?

In dalada uplands, charr homelands... and clear the map with a siege devourer.

Even Rocktail doesn't stand a chance, as long as you stay out of its crossairs.

The mission you have to use that huge one... it's so much fun.

Ok, at this point you can see how much I like these buggers... right?

They can do some serious damage.

Just think that its last and main mastery is the catapult effect mortar bombardment.

You then could use it against zergs.

It would give a whole new meaning to wvw.

Players would have to rethink tactically, to formulate new and improved attack and defence patterns.

This one... beast would make wvw so much more exciting, and out of the boring monotony it has become.

Note that, for instance, a stealthy thief could still perform stealth attacks to dismount the riders.

Warclaws can also dismount them.

Besides, they're not exactly fast.

So, It's not like they would be invincible. 

Just have massive attack power against zergs and take down gates and walls pretty fast, attacking at long range.

 

I genuinely believe the siege devourer would be an awesome addition to wvw, and perhaps even pve, and might just be exactly what wvw needs.

For those teams that are outnumbered, could have a way, and a much better chance to defend their turf, and even have a crack at a siege themselves.

 

Masteries unlock:

 

1. Unlock the siege devourer.

Comes with a very basic short range, claw attack.

2. Unlock a second (dual) attack that knocks down foes.

3. Unlock dash. The devourer moves faster for a few seconds.

4. Unlock capability to carry one team mate.

5. Unlock a sting attack that does more damage to all foes in area.

6. Increase its armour.

7. Unlock a second endurance bar. You can now dash twice.

8. Unlock the Siege bombardment. 

9. Attack faster and do more damage.

10.  Unlock burning rocks.

Your attacks now explode, cause burning and do more damage.

 

Something like that.

that would be a great hidden achievement, but it would have to be Kilroy Stonekin  =P

[Ashantara.8731]

Let the game finally remember my color options, i.e. "Sort colors by Hue" etc.

[Stardust.3970]

Please fix Monastery Shoes.

Could we have it so Medium and Heavy Armor versions of this Skin also unlock the Light Armor Version without the socks and vice versa? Kind of like how the Skysage Helm unlocks the combo of the hat and just the glasses?

As it turns out, I get why the other two versions have socks but they clip and don’t really match any bottoms. (Some even remove the socks already. Duelist pants are one example of this on Medium Armor.) I have been trying to make them work like this for years but I really just want the Light Armor version which looks great and doesn’t clip.

[keyokku.5412]

Please write legendary precursor item, or required for legendary, in item descriptions bc there are so many times i salvaged or discarded a specific item that is needed for legendaries before i decided to pursue something and i could've saved it if i had known

[Natta.8905]

As the title says, it would be nice if the Desert Fox Pet from the Sun's Refuge instance was also with the other pets from the Home Instances. And Home Instance as in those in every Races Home Worlds. Or that the pets from Home Instances was also in Sun's Refuge Instance aswell. This way the Fox would not "feel" so alone and all pets whould be in one place instead of this one being in only 1 solo Instance.

[Tuna Bandit.3786]

My wishlist:

- Disable game messages in Chat (currently the option does not prevent "your jade bot recycled some junk" - "you are unable to mount" etc etc... There is no need that this is always there across all my tabs.

- Consume all for Tomes of Knowledge.

- Change currency boxes to Vendor style (for example the Season 4 boxes you can buy with Jade Slivers) I mean same behavior as for example the WvW Skirmish Chests.

- Revamp of Almost Completed in Achievements. let us hide those we have no interest in completing, or let us filter by game mode (preferably both)

- Fully stop Personal Story. It is basically on all my alts that I have no intention to do any story on.

- Make our own markers (personal marker) dominant over Event Markers on the map. Pretty please?

- Pop-ups. Can they be timed? For example show few seconds then fade? I know I can dismis this clutter with the Escape Key, but for someone like me, with arthritis in his fingers, it's yet another key to press and in for example Amnytas, this Clutter is so overwhelming that I avoid that map due to it. (I would also ask to not go crazy with special action and their popups as you did in SotO, but that is beyond the goal of this topic)

- Can we please have dyable weapons? Pretty please? Come on... how can you resist someone asking so nicely??

- Disable NPC Chat Bubbles. This still can mess you up while doing Skyscale Target Practise adventure.

I don't think it wants to share the space with the cats.   Or the cats don't want to share space with a fox...

Also it probably wouldn't do well in the other environments.  

 

[lvis.3824]

Dear Team,

Can we please have a way to repurchase already unlocked versions of the Hero Weapons (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hero_Weapon_Box) required for the new Corrupted Hero weapon set?
I recently deleted all of mine a few weeks ago as they seemed useless at the time. Now, I have to regrind this track 18 times again 😞. I believe others might be facing the same issue.

Thank you!

 

[Arianth Moonlight.6453]

meh, I thought about this, but I still need to grind the shards so same thing. And not everyone's swarming in tickets either.

[Fipmip.7219]

put a small number next to each entry of the LFG panel. this will tell you how many groups are advertising in each category. if you expand the category, the number splits among each subcategory according to the number of groups advertising in those subcategories. Just a little feature that will tell browsing players where to look for content that might take their fancy.

I mentioned it before in another topic about the commander tag: I'd like to see that the mentor tag can also have some sort of squad message, which players can see by hovering over the tag on their mini map. Why? Because when I tag up in a starting area, offering advice there, I can only write in 3 or 4 times in the map chat, before the game mutes me for "spamming". And to be clear: I write something like "Are you new to Guild Wars 2 and got any questions about the game? -> Simply ask" each and every 20 minutes. And sometimes I sit here the whole evening while watching a movie or do something else. I have to leave my spot to run a dungeon, so I "refresh" my capability to use the chat again. And this sucks. Having a message people can read by using their mouse on the mini map would be a big win to only for me but for all mentor players.

Countless times I have seen someone merge 2 separate organized LFG squads by accident.

Can we please give both the commanders an option to allow or deny any merge attempt?  or restrict merge attempts to commander initiated only?

Or even just discontinue the merge feature entirely. Parties don't have commanders.

[CoffeeBreak.8609]

Please move the Jade Lantern that was blocked by meta like in seitung and echovald wilds to be accessible just like those lantern in SoTO.

I really like the new Bulk Exchange feature by Gharr Leadclaw.
Could you add the following two containers too?
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Desert_Crafting_Material_Coffer

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Canthan_Crafting_Material_Coffer

They're obtained from the pvp/wvw rewards tracks and I have hundreds of them, which I currently have to open manually.

[golgorod.8351]

A QoL Update would be four material storage places for:

- Koda's Blossom Petal

- Krytan Spiderwort Bloom

- Ascalonian Royal Iris

- Shing Jea Orchid Petal

 

Forgotten since 2018... That would be useful..

[DarkK.7368]

An option to make your weapons never disappear in your hands while certain skills animations that make your weapons disappear and then reapper. I want to punch my enemies with my pistols with my Daredevil skills!

[Zahld.4956]

Wvw, have smaller population maps to help reduce skill lag and other high population problems. 

 

Wvw, show tiers and ranks of servers in game.

 

Triple layer maps. Underwater/underground, land and air.  

 

Maps and content that use turtles and skiffs more. 

 

Underwater multi-passenger mount that is fast but is glassier than turtles. Medium range weaponry for the pilot and utility abilities for passengers.

 

Add weaponry additions to skiffs.

 

Give each profession 5 barehand combat skills when no weapons are equipped. More skills can be added later to use in each slot. These skills could use arms and leg as parts of their attacks. Barehand skills are skills that are combat focused but do not rely on weapons. They are more customizable and newer skills can be learned and slotted as time passes. Barehand skills have their own pool of skills similar to utility skills. Barehand skills may have a unique profession mechanic similar to profession mechanics that would interact with their skills or they may have a uniform mechanic that alll professions share (to be decided). Players may use one set of weapons and switch to barehands as part of their skills rotation. 

 

Have an option to auto display the last three IP address number of the current map server in LFG in title description when making a listing to make collaborating easier.

 

Improve the achievement tracker to include multiple categories of achievements to track like daily, weekly, festivals,, collections, etc groups that can be switched to easily. Similar to the wizards vault switchable tab on the top right side of the screen.

 

Show more recently and nearly completed achievements in the summary section. 

 

BLTC, show more Recently Viewed items and My Latest Trades. 

 

Achievements Watch List, add multiple tabs of achievements that can be customized and renamed. 

 

EOD maps, show batteries and jade tech protocol console icons in the mini map.

 

Mini map, be able to select what is shown and not shown.

 

Expansions based on current raids and fractals. Raids and fractals would have a second separate raid/fractal part and expanded open world continuation of each.  

 

Homesteads, have party things like music, foods, lighting..

 

New weapons that have their own special mechanic abilities similar to profession mechanics. They're mechanics could change and be slotted like traits. Maybe two or more mechanics could be slotted.

 

Improve achievement tracking to be more useful and easier to use.

 

Have lower tier material nodes in level 80 zones in addition to higher tier ones.

 

Conditions or boons that trigger a special action key skill to provide a mechanic action or ability effect related to the said thing. For example, a boon increases the radius, duration or number of persons affected when the key is used. This version of the boon or condition can be triggered by combo skills, traits or any other possible things. These boons and conditions could have two or more variations with a version number on or adjacent to it. Boons and conditions would have their own special action key so both could be in effect at concurrently. Cool down times of these variants would be needed to limit their on screen key time. A special action key 2 and 3 could be used for these. Traits could also set which variant of a boon or condition is applied or is triggered. A thing can only be affected by one version of the boon or condition at a time so that multiple affects do not overlap. New versions of boons and conditions could be available in new expansions and learned in a new mastery line that can contain updates from more than one expansion (a tree branching type of expansion additions could be used). Examples of these would be - (Fear 1, 2, 3), (Might 1, 2, 3)..etc.  

 

Wvw, server championship trophies and rings.

 

Wvw, multiple goal objectives after holding a capture point to gain bonus points. Build particular things. Gather things for a length of time with a displayed progress bar. Eliminate certain things. Move things to certain places.  

 

Food buffs, add cultivated meats to foods.

 

Mounts, add electrically powered mounts with

electrical abilities.

For the love of GOD, let us arrange our characters on the Character Selection screen the way we want to. HOW LONG have we been asking for this? I'll tell you how long. As of this post, we've been asking for 4,348 days.

I agree.

I don't know what's with the confused emojis.

This is a pretty reasonable request.

I guess people don't have anything better to do with their lives.

I gave you a thank you 🏆  trophy.

Anyways, this function is way overdue; and so is customisable ui.

But let's focus on yours.

I'd like to organise characters in select screen with the following presets + option to create our own.

 

1. Date of Birth/Creation.

Also, Display time remaining to next birthday. 

2. Location.

A-Z, and in reverse; or nearest to a predefined set capital, eg Divinity's Reach, or Black Citadel.

3. Class.

(Same as Character Creation) from first heavy to the lighter, and in reverse; or custom.

Custom: Reorganise how you want.

E.g. Thief, Elementalist, Guardian, Revenant, so on so forth.

4. Race.

Humans, Charr, Asura, Sylvari, Norn.

Or custom. Reorganise how you want.

E.g. Charr, Asura, Sylvari, Norn, Human.

5.  Gender. 

Male, Female, or in reverse. 

6. Map completion percent . %.

Highest to lowest, or in reverse.

7. Holding a certain item.

Search bar added. 

8. Manual.

Drag and drop at your own taste.

 

There are probably more filters, but I can't focus 100% right now.

So yeah.

Please Devs.

We need this 👍
