[Suggestions]QoL (Quality of Life) Ideas [Merged]

[Maulclaw.4365]

I just came back to the game recently and I couldn't help but notice that Minis have gotten a lot more... intrusive, compared to how they were handled in the past. Not only have some grown in size, but others have also become flashier and even have special sound effects. It's getting to the point it has become distractingly jarring, and there's been hundreds of posts complaining about this all over the forums and Reddit since launch. This is even more egregious whenever someone uses a mini of their Jade Bot.

 

I hope ANet adds a feature in the future that allows us to disable or silence them all together, similar to how we can mute projectiles. The game already has too much visual vomit, and this is just adding more on top.

You are not seeing their jade bot, you are seeing their mini.

Hey could we make fishing stacks persist between instances of the same map?

 

It has been unbearably frustrating to be told probably 6 times in the same 2 hrs of fishing to change maps because my instance keeps closing and I keep having to volunteer to go to the new map, and I LOSE all my stacks each time. It sucks. It makes doing my fishing achievements that much more mind-numbing rather than enjoyable.

Or maybe just get rid of fishing stacks entirely, and have the buff from the masteries + food. My dislike of this is, as well as the closing map problem, that I have lost contact with my skiff while getting off it to fight enemies.

There's a search bar in bank too.

 

That's not the same point, my proposal (that apparently made someone cry, I'll never understand people reactions in this forum) was a function that allows you to rearrange all your bank items by type/name/whatever in one click.

I think Glint should get more idle conversations and some hidden easter egg chats like Kalla and Alliances have. 

Most other spirits average 3 idle conversations and the elite specs have hidden chats if you get to a certain location. There is a lot that can be done!

Hey hi!
I would love it if we got an check-box option to hide our login Emails in the Gw2 launcher. I personally use an email that contains my name in it for my account, which I imagine many others do as well.
It's not really a concern for most people but as a content creator I worry about the possibility that the game crashes or has an issue and I end up doxxing myself by showing my email on stream or accidentally in a video.

Similar features exist in other launchers for other games, either by the account being remembered and details not showing, or having options to turn off showing the information.

I imagine that third party launchers exist that would not show the information but I think it would be moderately easy to implement considering passwords are already displayed as stars.

These are my personal QOL improvements I would implement if I was on Anet team. Highly subjective!

 

1. Switch mounts instantly. Current behavior: Jackal -> dismount -> on foot -> mount -> Skimmer (if you get hit during the on foot part, see second point). QOL: Jackal -> Skimmer. More fluent, feels fresher and modern.

 

2. Fix aggro. Fall damage doesn't count as aggro so players can still mount. If mob isn't attacked in x seconds and didn't attack player, lose aggro on player so they can mount. Prevent the need to "press F12 -> character select" in order to lose aggro.

 

3. The radial mount should be an in game feature.

 

4. Give players the option to ignore the "map is closing" pop-up. Add a checkbox in the options.

 

I can only dream of these features 😁

Huge QoL for all Legendary Armours/Weapons/Sigils/Trinkets/Runes.

Legendary Change Stats "Favorites" Tick box that show up at the Top.

I swap a lot of stats often and change builds regularly. I know you people have the incentive to make money off your Build Template and Equipment Template Business Model. But for others not minding stat switching. Having a little check box next to the stats, runes and sigil options that could be checked to keep up near the top would be absolutely amazing!

That was Berserker, Viper, Harrier, Diviner, Minstrel etc. would always show up at the very top in alphabetical order. Afterwards the unfavorite ones would continue as normal.

With Legendary Sigils having the Checked ones in the same situation. That way my Favorite Sigils would show up at the top. Same with Runes. Would definitely make Legendary stuff even more worth than they are.

For the dragon hologram projectors in the guild hall, can we please get a Glint one. And a Vlast one too, but Glint first.

I know this is a first World issue...but SERIOUSLY!

19 Infusions have to be changed;  Here is the process to switchout infusions:

1.  Select armor/weapon/tricket/Assessory (Right Click)

2.  From the menu,  Select Customize (Left Click)

3.  Select the infusion currently attached (Left Click)

4.  Choose the new infusion (Left Click)

5.  Select Accept (Left Click)

REPEAT THIS PROCESS 19 TIMES

For Armor Stats and Rune/Sigil Stats you have a check box to indicate you want the rest of your Armor...Weaopns...TAinnkets/rings/assessories to have the same to the remaining items...can we have that for infusions too??

more forage pets for ranger in next dlc please?

[Yogurt Goblin.5934]

There should be a hide achievement option alongside the tracking option.

This would simply make it so any achievement that was hidden wouldn't show near completion section of the achievement panel.

When i get a little downtime in game I'll like to progess my most complete achievements but every so often I'll come across an achievement that I literally have no interest in doing like; any slayer achievement, weapon master for warhorn or focus, random pvp achievement for playing a certain class.

It would be nice to hide them and let me move on to the next thing.

Please make a quick item slot.
I would be happy to buy it if the Gemstore sells it per character limit.

[Val.7826]

Oh this will be very unpopular:

 

I wish devs reduce the impact of Quickness and Alacrity (mostly Quickness). I'm not really into the endgame since I prefer to play casual, but it seems to me that, for the sake of balance, they are simply adding Q and A to every spec (some here, some there), just because Q and A are extremely powerful in a team and somehow mandatory for the dps. I think those boons should be good but not that good, something like, I dunno, +20% attack speed for Quickness and +10% skill recharge speed for Alacrity (considering that they are patch by patch more present in builds), and focus the spec balance more on the identity and tactics of the spec itself, and not just on exceptional but very common effects. Q and A would still be used and requested, but they would make a slightly less massive difference in battle, letting people have more fantasy making builds while still being effective and close to meta builds.

[Parasite.5389]

So Guild Halls are great, don't get me wrong, but they're huge and the space mostly go unused unless you're a huge guild, or you really like Roller beetle racing.  they're also only truely accessable to meduim to large guilds with the player numbers to acquire them, and the resources to develop them; leaving smaller guild only 1 option for gathering or accessing guild vendors, that being the Guild Initiative office in Lions archs.

It would be nice for smaller guild to have a more varied access to those guild functions; these smaller guild halls wouldn't be as functional as the current 4  large halls, and only offer a small improvement over the Guild Initiative office such as teleport access from the guild panel and limited customization, and there are serveral location within core tyria that would serve as good locations, and serveral areas in the Expansions offer ideas for themed structures:

• The 3 faction headquarters would make a good choice for players with only access to the core game each with its own unique feels and aesthetic

• Areas like Aurenes egg chamber or Noble's folly could serve as a template for Heart of Thorns maps

• A Gambling den in Amnoon, or an Order of Shadows outpost

• A Minsec Branch office, or a Jade Brotherhood warehouse

these guild halls aren't designed to replace the currently large halls, but simply give smaller guild a place to gather and customize while building up to getting one of the big 4.

[Farohna.6247]

I like the concept.  It would definitely be nice for the smaller guilds who struggle with trying to craft, expand, and fill a large guild hall, or simply don't require a full size one.

please can we get a "Max number of item to claim box for" chest such as the canthan crafting material coffers? I have a whole stack of it and don't want to have to do the repeatable action 250 times, because it will destroy my wrist.  Please look at the image if you don't understand what I mean

I would like to have a check box for outfits to enable or disable them on the dyes tab for convenience sake, like back items. Please and thank you. 😅

[Jaxson.1593]

Not so much a problem as what I would call a weakness in the TP system.

OK, I've had a number of items sitting up for sale on the TP for over two months, many for three months, now. Some have even been up for four.. Even though they were priced at the bottom of the price queue for that item when posted, they've still been sitting there for over two months or more. Clearly, the "current" price I've set, even though it was based on the then-current market price is way too high. Given that they are 40gp items, it is very **very** prohibitively expensive to withdraw them and re-submit.

I suggest you consider the idea that perhaps the current mechanism does not allow prices to adjust well when items are clearly overpriced.
 

To that end, while I don't suggest you eliminate the fees (which, I understand, discourage use of the Trading post to "store" items), but perhaps offer a much lower "re-listing fee" be allowed after the item has sat at a given price for more than a reasonably long length of time -- say, 30, 60, 90 days.

The only thing the owner can do in this instance would be to change the price on any item sitting for more than that length of time for a much more nominal amount -- 5 silver or something akin to that as a re-listing or "listing adjustment" fee. There would be no refund of the original fee, just a way to encourage the sale of an item that one inadvertently overpriced, probably by basing presumption on the existing price at the time. And once you re-set the price, the 30/60/90 day countdown restarts, so you can't do it again until it has sat around for a long time. You might even place constraints on how much it can be lowered at a time -- 25%, perhaps, to discourage hacking accounts. Perhaps not, but it would be reasonable. 

I feel this should be relatively easy to code, and provide a much improved functionality to the market.

One other option would be to allow someone to just automatically adjust the price of something one time during the current month or other fixed period -- this could be implemented as a single, simple flag on any item, no tracking needed -- just go and reset them all to "off" on the first of the month, and then set the flag to "on" if anyone uses the "reset price" feature... after which they can't reset it again. And you can set the flag to "on" when it is first put up for sale, making them wait for it to reset on the beginning of the next month to adjust the price. This seems like a particularly elegant solution, and almost trivial to implement -- a single bit-flag in the item DB to be set, and a "reset" feature that allowed the price change while setting the bit. And then a once-a-month daemon to reset them all (or whatever frequency you decided to implement, really).
 

This would encourage prices to be adjusted occasionally on those really expensive items. and the standing price of "common but hard to get" items would then tend to better reflect the actual market price of an item, rather than some inaccurate historical price, as the current system seems to do.
 

You could verify this yourself by doing a query on how many items there are that have been sitting in the market for over a month or so, and doing a bin-count for different values (e.g., 0-10gp,10-30gp, 30-50gp, etc)
 

Thanks for considering this idea, and I hope you will implement some variation on it.
