Guild Wars 2

So it figures that the question being asked by every NPC should also be asked here: what happens to LA now? But since there’s no way we can really make a prediction on how the Captain’s Council are going to decide, maybe we should ask instead: what do you want to happen to the ruins of LA?

Personally, I can understand the appeal of rebuilding it with a new layout, but I think I’d actually prefer that it be abandoned. I’m ok with the “hub city” being distributed over the existing, underused cities, and if the tengu are ever added as a playable race, the Dominion of Winds would end up as yet another city adjacent to Lion’s Arch. It’d be cool to see nature slowly reclaiming it, and it would make a pretty good 15-25 leveling zone for new tengu characters, imo.

What do you think?

Tengu starting area is the general idea of the community.
Personally I think it could work, it would be cool to see more greenery and have pirate factions fighting over it so we can have enemy NPCs there with new events and champions.

I’d also like the idea of the council be disbanded, maybe prosecuted and hanged although that could be a little to much.

Either way, I don’t like to think it could return to the way it was, just no way.
So even if they keep it a city and services return, leave it mostly destroyed, add some make shift shacks maybe.

Also as far as personal story goes, I want the PS LA instances to be old LA, that would be really cool to go to this destroyed city and when you get in an instance you can see a vibrant city. Many games show you places before and after they were destroyed, but in GW2 being able to say “I was there before all this, LA used to be a city full of life” it doesn’t get much better as far as trying to create a living world.

I honestly think the idea of going for LA was a challenge the devs brought to themselves. The lay line could have been on any other map.
LA was the central hub and every character personal story passed along it, if they could trash it and make it work then they’d know they can do what ever they want to the rest of the world.

I want the Lion statue replaced with one of a giant quaagan That is the only reason I can see why I got so many quaagan potions during this event. The quaagans have taken over Lion’s arch and they want everyone to be quaagans like them.

SO quaagan statues everywhere.

It’s not going to be gone forever – there are already people rebuilding things. I don’t think it’ll happen quickly though.

It’ll be rebuilt just in time for the next Halloween Event.
