Random Guild Wars gripes and suggestions

I save the list here since I wrote it on Q23. EFlannum said many things are coming within a few weeks but I doubt he was referring to my points (even if there isn’t much else listed on the thread).


– Possibility to configure also the mouse, not just the keyboard.
– Less rubberbanding around obstacles and invisible walls.
– A 5 minutes timeout on the instances, so that you can rejoin if you crash or disconnect without having to restart from zero each time (*extremely* frustrating).
– Tweaks to the walking animations in order to prevent the “moonwalking”.
– Monsters skating on the ground, same as above.
– Tweaks to the animations when changing direction (the character sidesteps oddly if you change direction sharply).
– Tweaks to the mantle animations, to ease the many clipping problems.
– Smoother z-buffer code (objects popping on and off, like trees and other structures).
– Allow to maximize the game window without switching automatically to full screen.
– Add a /who.
– Add a /played.
– Add “level” and “current zone” to the guild roster.
– Add a goddamn PURPOSE to the arenas. Give out some decent reward if someone is able to win 15 times in a row and things like that.
– Add larger and interactive arenas that are something more than an empty deatmatch zone.
– Add semi-persistent PvP zones, with semi-persistent goals and 2-3 groups for each side.
– Expand/develop ladders, statistics, ratings etc… Integrate them also in the game, not just on the website. Add the possibility to examine other players and check their stats, bot directly (by clicking) and indirectly (from the UI, without the need to have the person in front of you).
– Hire a community manager, GW has ZERO communication. The current website provides nearly zero informations about what is happening in and out the game. Communication between devs and players seems nil.

HRose:
– Add a /played.

Brooski:
It’s /age. There seem to be a number of undocumented commands like this. For example, /deaths gives you the number of times you died.

HRose:
An undocumented command to list all the undocumented commands would be nice as well.
