Guild Wars 2

I was just thinking about this, because I rather enjoy the whole process of learning the fights and understanding the mechanics and practising the execution.

And it is fascinating to me to see how different classes can use different gear and trait builds to achieve success at the gauntlet, there are so many people sharing different strats, I kinda wanna try them all!

I would love to keep learning and get better at alts that I’m currently less familiar with. Currently in the open world, there are no such bosses that use such a great variety of mechanics and gimmicks. But the cost is prohibitive given the limited time, the various penalties for failure and how much it costs to gear alts in various types of armor.

So would it be possible to create an instanced version of the Queen’s Gauntlet later on, where one can practice on the various bosses?

Story-wise, call it an elaborate mesmer illusion, a nostalgic memory or whatever.

Perhaps have it offer no or very low rewards, but take out the cost of retrying (having to pay tickets, repair costs, run back, no wait time, etc.) If one is feeling very kind, one could allow the achievements to attained there as the only reward.

In a way, this could serve as a stepping stone for more challenging bosses in the future if we could improve the skill level of the playerbase by offering them “training dummies” in a sense to learn on, without the pressure of having to do it by a certain deadline and without the punishing feel of the current penalties for failure.
