Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I really think these major group events such as Marrionette, Tequatl, Jungle Wurm, Shatterer etc are really awesome…unfortunately I do not have much time to play this game.

In fact I do not even know if I qualify as a casual. I more of a mother goose or “your mom plays more” kind of gamer. I just don’t have the time these days!

Anyways onto my suggestion.

I would love to have a tab/panel that has the stats of my server that I can look at when I am in the game!
- has my server ever downed the marrionette? When was the last successful attempt?
- what is the success rate for my server in downing Tequatl?
- when will the marrionette event be active? (yes I know there are sites that already offer this service and they are awesome.)
- what is the most popular dungeon on my server?

There are many nice things that could be placed in this info tab. The above is just a small sample.

Now my next suggestion. I think there should be server wide buffs given to all players if the server downs one of these major group events / bosses. The buff will last X number of hours.
Ideas for these buffs might be:
- +X% magic find for 24 hours
- +X% power for 24 hours
- +X% of something that is really cool to have…..

Basically the idea is to give a server player base an incentive to destroy these bosses over and over again (more than an achievement, items i don’t want).

What do you think? Good / Bad / Lame?

Also I might have posted this in the wrong forum – sorry!

Interesting idea, but I am afraid this will promote even more server stacking.

The buff idea sounds interesting. If it was anything combat related (+power, +vitality, etc…) I could see it becoming a prerequisite for other events. For example: Kill Tequatl to get buff X, then go buffed to the Worm boss which spawns 1 hour later.

Yeah I can definitely your point – especially if you can discover which server has a better success rate. Ok maybe the server stat thing is too much info.

Exactly! You can use the buffs from downing one boss to help the server down another.

Also what if there is an incentive to down more than 1 boss in a day? Boss rush mode – if successful your server gets something amazing. What that is – I have no idea. Lol

I think it’s type of information that Anet could release every 6 months or so as one of those interesting facts. It was awesome when they did that last time. I don’t think it should be in an game thing.

A buff on some secondary stats (like MF, experience and gold from mobs…) tied to big bosses (Teq, Wurm and Marionette for now, maybe one on having all the temples+arah open, provide they solve bugs first!) could be nice. No way on primary stats.
Also, make it serverbound, that way guesting will be discouraged.

Buffs should last 24 hr, ofc.

edit: another way is that they could boost the Power of the Mists by 10’000 points (with DR)

Don’t we already have those from WvW? so not a problem at all.
