Guild Wars 2

In GW2, i guess, the most impressive cities I’ve ever seen in games. Bravo! They are remarkably filled with various interesting places, characters with whom you can communicate, the various dialogues, etc..
But
this all passages one time and no longer makes sense… It’s… terrible… waste! Looking at these cities, I want to stay there forever!
Why not to make events in the cities? Or smth… Maybe I’m wrong, but I think something like this was planned. Like target shooting in divinity’s reach. Well.. I mean, to do something that could kill time and have some kind of profit. Like karma or some unique look armor for example. In general, something than can be always there to engage.

I’d LOVE to see this ! Was actually going to do a post about it till I spotted yours
I’d prefer random events, not events that you could set your watch to. Hidden areas.
With rewards like a key that would allow you access to different unexplored parts of the city. One of the things I used to love in that other MMO was when players found different ways to kite high level NPCs to the city, which were then quickly stopped because NOTHING was ever allowed to happen to PCs in a city, as it would deter from the gaming experience for new players. This was pure bs, those sort of things used to break the monotony of nothing ever happening in the capitals.

they should implement invasion events similar to WvW but it will be players vs ai.asura will be invaded by inquests,sylvari by nightmare court,divinity’s reach by separatist,etc…

make it bigger than dragon,temple events.all the siege weapons in WvW will be used by the invaders

I disagree with having events where players have to fight enemies as cities are meant to be safe areas to take care of bank/guild/crafting/trading post business.

If they had events that where minigames, then I would be cool with this.

City events are gonna be holiday stuff. Just you wait.

Actually I was really disappointed at first that city-events didn’t exist from the start.

There’s so many possibilities for non-combat events. Gather stuff, deliver stuff, help at the taverns, extinguish fires etc.
The rewards could scale to level but at the same time be quite lower than “normal” out-in-the-field events are. Just to make sure, that it stays worthwhile to actually leave the town and not just sit there in safety.

Or how about “crafting-events” in town? Assisst a craftsman by something and instead of Karma/Gold earn 5-10 ressources or something of the like.

It could be so much fun! And those cities are so amazingly beautiful. Please, please, please, let us make good use of them! Not just for holiday events!

I agree! let’s put some non-combat events in cities!

Check out my thread New and More Creative dynamic events, I talked about this as well

City events would be great. Can always have to chase after escaped carnival monkies in Divinitys Reach. There can always be monsters coming up out of the sewers.
