Fractured.3928

Getting a kick out of all the people pretending they know how GW2's engine works. It helps to say "You think it works like X", not that "It DOES work like X". Unless someone has an Arenanet mark on their user, I think its safe to assume that they have no clue how the engine actually works. Secondly, people are also acting like there aren't several other MMO's out there that does exactly what the OP is asking....without issue. And lastly, I honestly don't care either way. I just think the people desperately fighting the OP for no reason is kinda silly.

If they introduced a housing system, with a mastery...somehow. It would actually intrigue me!

What you're saying is opinion based, not factual. Besides WoW. I definitely do not think GW2 is the best MMO without a subscription, and it sure as hell isn't the best one with subscriptions.

The only thing I want, is clear paths around the maps. I'm so sick of high level maps just being ABSOLUTELY COVERED IN BADDIES ALL THE TIME FOREVER. Just getting from Point A to B can be extremely frustrating sometimes, when I feel like it shouldn't be. It is a difficulty in the game I've always felt was unnecessary.

We also just ignoring the End Walker expansion? FF14 will get 5.5 in April, which leads into Endwalker in Fall. Which also dropped a ton of info, and will continue to release more info over the months. Same as WoW. Star Citizen has (Apparently) more active players than GW2. Clearly they should try new tactics to bring people in. Instead of the same ol' stuff.

I just want wardrobes that I can fast swap too (Not outfits, they are the dumbest idea GW2 has come up with).Arenanet seems to be stuck on the systems they choose, despite how archaic many of them seem to be.

Nevermind what I said. Silly page that shouldn't exist lol.

Annoyingly doesn't work for F2P, had to be a new account.

But she can't transfer servers now....that's...lame.

So my friend just started an Asura on a F2P account (I am paid), and finished the tutorial area. She is new to gaming, so this is kind of a struggle to begin with, but no matter what I do I can't seem to end see her, and vice versa. I see her walking around on the map, but its like we are in different instances. There is no "Join in" button either when right clicking. Re-created party, left map and rejoined, even selected a different character. Nothing seems to work. Resolution: Come to find out, she went to EU. Wasn't aware she did that, nor aware that you couldn't cross over too.

Who are you to say what my Necromancer believes? There are legit arguments against opening all weapons to core. This is definitely not one of them lol. Especially when you can so easily switch. One second my Necromancer thinks Greatsword is godlike, the next moment he thinks a torch is the newest invention in the world? Then the next day, right back to Greatsword being hte best, and torches are only used in dungeons for scrubs who don't have Darkvision? Why can't a Thief use a rifle? They HAVE to be a Deadeye in order to use a Rifle? Literally no other way they can even pick one up? It just drops out of their hands? Then why can a Warrior use one without being a Deadeye? It's probably for the similar reason we can pick at most 3 specs at one time. And why we can't use all traits at the same time (what, you mean if I pick one, I forget how to use the other two?). And why we pick 3 utility skills out of 20 while not even counting especs -and don't even get me started on revenant. Because it's a game and real life logic won't "always" apply and it's not exactly what it's balanced around....or is what you're saying only valid for espec weapons for some reason? :p My point was, roleplaying reason isn't a real argument. Its all just a game system, not a roleplaying restriction.

This makes 0 sense. Why would having a wardrobe setup prevent this...at all? In the games that have this, I'm always tweaking my wardrobe.

Yeah, they would be sub-optimal, but I don't see a reason to hold them back. They have much longer cooldowns, usually not as much impact as a weapons ability, so the actual impact on gameplay on way or another would be reduced. I don't care either way, utility is utility for a reason. As far as I'm concerned, Weapons are a playstyle. And utilities are just there to support your weapon. Big difference.

Yes, its the best I've seen in any MMORPG. But that doesn't mean it can't improve.I agree with OP. And i'm sure they would make much more money on cosmetic loadouts than transumation charges. I've never purchased them.It would also be nice if we could save outfit/mount and glider dye themes. You haven't seen a lot of MMOs then. Outfits are fine, dyes are spectacular, but changing the appearance of individual equipment gets pricey with charges. No other game I can name requires real money items to change the appearance of gear. And it's unnecessarily restrictive as only loaded players are going to use them on leveling toons. Everyone else gets to enjoy 80 levels of $#!%-tier gear design sans the odd fashionable one in the mid levels. It's pretty much why I'm all for more outfits while others loathe them. The whole transmutation charge system makes switching appearances impractical next to new outfits. If I could charge to a cosmetic slot and NOT an item directly, that would make them at least understandable, but as it is, it's just archaic and impractical. I agree that it sucks that you have to have transmutation charges to change skins, but they are not that hard to get though, I have a bit over 100 of them right now, and no I'm not loaded, it's not exclusively a payed item, it's rewarded for doing content. You have to either prioritize PVP/WVW to get them fast though. Getting them from PVE map completion is slow ..Skins directly being saved in wardrobe after selling/salvaging/equpipping is amazing and super convinient. You don't have to hold onto the item in a wardrobe bank or whatever (that usually also have limited slots)Dye system is also the best I've seen, and lets not forget that we don't have to buy dyes more than once, in other games you usually have to purchase them as consumable everytime you want to change colors, and they can even be very expensive.Also you don't have to go to a NPC or home instance or whatever to change skins/outfits.So yeah I would say the convinience factor of GW2 wardrobe far outweighs the negative aspect of having to use transmutation chargesYou also have to change individual pieces...every time. Instead of having saved wardrobe sets. Hell, even City of Heroes had a better system than GW2, and its older than WoW. So does Warframe, a F2P system, with a better dye system too. WoW does this better too, the only thing it doesn't have is a dye system which is dumb. F14's system is similar to GW2, but still has saved wardrobes. Every MMO I've mentioned also saves the skin, you don't need to keep it. "Outfits" imo are terrible. Not being able to mix and match drastically reduces the amount of dress up I can do. I always avoid outfits for this reason. And they still clip! The home instance/npc thing is the only thing you've mentioned that GW2 has above the others. But honestly, with saved wardrobe settings, I'd say it takes less time to go to a NPC, and click 2 quick buttons than to go through, find the armor, and reset all your dyes so it looks good again. And then you lose your previous look, so going back requires you to do that all over again. In other MMO's that have a saved look, people change looks A LOT more. Most people I know in GW2 are rocking the same look for a year+. They rarely change anything, and if they do, its only one or two pieces. While in WoW/FF14/Warframe/CoX, people are constantly changing pieces around, throwing on all the different outfits they have, etc. Because its more accessible, and enjoyable.
