| You know what GW really needs? |

Guild Wars is, without a doubt, a cool game. However, It could be cooler. There could be blood, not that lame stuff you DO see. Take that stuff back to comic books!
I WANT BLOOOD!
Blood makes video games better. It increases the realism. How is that for an idea?

Don't know if Blood is really rated everyone. True young people shouldnt be playing the game if you can;t understand the basics of being mature and fairly well and not ruining missions for others.

Naw, blood on;y increases lag and this game doesn't need to add lag unnecessarily. There are lots of video games offering blood and gore, have your fill of those then play the graphics rich blood-free environment of GW.
I'd rather Anet add more utilities to the game, like being able to save custom builds (a monk could have a 55 build, a healing build, a smite build, etc.)

If you read the lore Charr blood is black, so you get a D+ for the photoshop.
As for the blood; no. Guild wars does not need blood. Why do you need blood? You think Stone elementals have blood? you think the undead have blood? Jade armor? Half of the creatures don't even have "blood".
Now if you would have said "Guild Wars needs ROBOTS!" and then made a funny post I wouldn't have minded.
If you said "Guild Wars needs better music" I would have agreed.
If you said "Guild Wars needs Chuck norris" I would have laughed.
If you said "Guild Wars needs the ability to perminantly extinguish a character and or pet" I would have cried.
But you said "Guild Wars needs BLOOD!!"
Which it doesn't for many reasons.
1) in order to get a teen rating you need to have SMALL amounts of violence NO BLOOD, NO suggestive themes, and NO gore (blood and gore are DIFFERENT). A teen rating widens the possible audience for Anet keeping Guild wars free
2) I don't want to see my poor pet bleed to death ;'( or my character... and that would also defeat the purpose of said skill "Severy artery" in which is you were bleeding for a long enough time would lose more blood than in the human body and make the game/skill dumb.
3) blood on the screen slows down the graphics making them less good for those of us with less powerul systems.
4) Some people get queezy at the site of blood also making the target audience less.
5) having a button or menu option to turn off or on blood still gives it a mature rating
6) Because I said so :P
Er ehm.... any questions?

You know, you can upgrade your music pak from Direct Song. It costs 5 bucks, and its well worth it.

What about instead of blood, you get rock chips or bone chips flying off instead? You could throw them at people for an added bonus!

I don't think you need a powerful computer to show blood. Diablo 2, for those who remember, had loads of blood and gore. Don't need much of a computer to play D2, just a damn good firewall to keep the hackers away.

Forgive me, I did not want people to think the charr leaked oil.

The is no need for blood. GW is not an FPS splatter fest. And as a fantasy game there is hardly any need for realism.

I've got mixed views about blood in guildwars. In some of the earlier missions I really wanted little specks of blood to be flying around when you hit the enemy with a sword/axe. I don't think that pools of blood would look very good but splatter is something I would quite like.
Having the little bit of blood would give the game a serious edge.

I see alot of people have different views on whether or not Guild Wars should have blood or not, and both have put some good reasons as to why and why not.
Its interesting to see the different views posted her. IMO blood would make the game a little too realistic for my tastes, I would be very upset to see my monk bleeding to death :(
I cant imagine it lagging peoples computers all too much, but where do you draw the line at what makes you bleed, from my experience there are more Spells than Melee attacks in the game.
What I wouldnt mind seeing is arrows actually sticking in a target for a while before disapearing, but once again this would have its problems with the games physics as arrows seem to hit an area but give damage to a different area ( i.e. you can get hit in the body with an arrow graphics wise but it counts as hitting you in the head in the actual damage side of things)

i do think it neads blood, but you must be able to switch it off.
blood doesn't make lag, blood is even lower in a lag case then making a bone horror.
btw, if it's made for teens, wy do i see plenty of sex and swearing thingy's...saying that it's teen rated is may from the beginning but not in-game it self when adulds play there(or oversext ppl)

no..guild wars definatly has no suggestive themes of any kind.. *cough*femalemesmer*cough*..
But yeah i agree, a fantasy game should remain just that, fantasy. If we wanted it to be realistic you'd also include realistic dmg such as 1 chop to a monk and they die, and realistic movement, dodging, blocking, and missing without the need of abilities. But common you can only expect so much from a game like that. If you wanted realistic things there are other non-fantasy alternatives such as PvP war games where a headshot will kill a player and not just take away some health. But let's face it, realistically none of the characters would have made it out of pre-searing ascalon before getting killed in some way. YOU WALK THROUGH LAVA!! YOU WALK THROUGH LAAAVAAAA!!!!!..ehem..

I'd agree to that except for the fact that you only have access to 1-2 elements at a time in PvP and 1 element in PvE. Also if that happened then fire eles would be invincible in hell's precipice since all the attacks there are fire based. Also air ele's would defeat the purpose of the thunderclap build if lightning healed them instead of damaging them.
