Guild Wars 2

I was thinking the other day, I know, yes it did hurt.

Do you know the feeling of going into a map for the first time and not knowing what to expect? It gets your adrenaline up, makes you pay attention to what is going on and forces you to play from instinct.

Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to make a random map. The reason is that all the regular game maps cycle the same things over and over and over. Is there a way to have a map that would be random with regard to spawns and terrain where nothing is really the same anytime you entered?

Setup. Let’s say the Mad King set up a portal to, a Realm of Chaos, a map of randomness.

It wouldn’t matter if Harpy was flying under water or sharks were swimming in the air, in a Realm of Chaos it wouldn’t matter. It’s chaos and there doesn’t have to be a point. It would be one place in Guild Wars 2 that you would never know what to expect.

Extreme example: A group gathers and gets ready to go into the Realm of Chaos knowing that they have no idea what to expect. They are armed to the teeth and ready for anything. When then enter they find all white rabbits. In a random spawn it could happen, although not likely. The next day they enter and find that every creature is a champion Grawl, very unlikely even in chaos, but a possible spawn situation.

Most spawns would just be a random placement and creature type including random levels. . This would be fun to me, because I would enjoy just seeing what came up next. It would be a nice change of pace from repeating dungeons and events over and over.

I don’t know if if it would be possible serverwise, but I think I would enjoy at least one area that is never the same.

Just a thought. I’m going to get some pain medication now.

It could be done really well, especially with randomized events.

“Defend the Asuran Krewe while they take Chaos Readings.”

You run up, and a horde of adorable bunnies spawns. Free karma and exp, but almost none. Then, ten minutes later, it pops up again, but this time, two champion trolls pop in with Destroyer backup. You’re in for the fight of your life, but if you can succeed the event, the karma and exp and gold are amazing.

Discord approves.

I could see this working as a way to offer a new place for explorers which would seem like fresh content without the need to create something new every time. It creates itself in a manner of speaking. Personally, I would enjoy something like this without additional rewards after playing repetitive events over and over. Just getting to see something new each time would be a huge reward in itself.

But if there must be rewards another option might be exploring the entire map whether by stealth and avoidance or by clearing it or by completing some type of event like you suggested. I would welcome the chaos.

Surely this is possible.

i’d spend all day, every day there.

Imagine if you will, a realm of chaos. A map the size of Kessex Hillls (or larger or smaller if you must) where nothing ever spawns in the same place. Where creatures are changing types and sizes every time you visit. A place where even the land and sea are in constant flux. Imagine if you will a world where you can fight and explore to your hearts content and never find repetition. For every traveler to this realm will never cease to be amazed at the possibilities. It may only be an instance in time (if it must be) but if you dare to create it you will find that many adventurers will be found fighting and exploring the Realm of Chaos in the Guild Wars 2 zone!

I would love this option – would be more fun to complete part of a daily in something like this!

I picture running up a mountain and suddenly passing through an area where I have to use underwater skills! Perhaps I am actually “swimming” over the terrain for a while, eh?

I was hoping that more players would have an interest in doing a map that changed every time you entered it. Personally I’m getting tired of, for instance, gather apples, kill spiders, kill the boss, wait, gather apples, kill spiders, kill boss, gather apples, kill spiders, kill boss, on and on…

If there was one map that randomized even just the types of creatures and where they spawned it would alleviate the monotony of the repetition.
