Guild Wars 2

In Guild Wars 1, there was an arena called the Codex arena. This restricted players on the skills they are allowed to use. When it was implemented, it was fun because of the creativity from not using the meta builds. It forces new thinking than copy and paste a build. However, Codex arena died from being unpopular. There is no game match going on. Players couldn’t handle creative thinking for so long.

For Guild Wars 2, there would be a Codex mode. Players can get to Codex mode and get restricted on the skills, weapon set, and traits. While in Codex mode, players will receive more or better PvP rewards and can get rewards for the PvE side.

Codex was alive when I played (nearly a year before GW2 came out). I can see it dying now because the playerbase is really tiny now.

Codex mode is different.

You can still play with players not in Codex mode.

Oh, I might be thinking of Random Arena or something…?

So basically reimplement a game mode that you admittedly state was unpopular and disliked. I dig it.

Honestly, I feel like if they were to add it, they might as well just have a daily NPC you can talk to to enable/disable it and you get bonus rewards when you do anything with it on/off. It would also limit your traits, so you will have to re-do your build (in most cases).

I just think it would be interesting and a fun concept to play out.

But gw1 had alot more skills to choose from didn’t it? If you disable 5 skills here and restrict to half of the weapons you have a chance that you won’t be able to come up with something usefull. I guess.
