I would really like if Anet added stuff like Underworld, Fissure Of Woe, Urgoz and that stuff that was seen in Guild Wars 1. I really enjoyed those areas and in the end they were the main reason i kept playing it. I dont know if other people already posted this since there has just been tons of other threads and i didn’t bother going through them all. But for these there could be better rewards, such as Underworld had Dhuum’s Soul Reaper scythe, which was unique for that area. Also there were there unique miniatures such as Mini Dhuum and Mini Smite Crawler.
And as these were called Elite Areas in guild wars 1, these were more difficult than just normal quests to complete the storyline. The one thing i really enjoyed was that these areas were much less forgiving from mistakes.
Lets take examples from Underworld. It had 10 quests that needed to be finished and the final Boss ( Dhuum himself ). If your whole party died, you were removed from the area and had to start it all over. If u failed one quest, you also were removed from the area and had to start it all over ( no retrying the quests like we can atm.)
( Just for those people that didn’t play Guild Wars 1 that these areas were in addition of dungeons.)
I do of course understand if anet doesn’t want this to happen since i can’t even count the times skills were nerfed, enemies gained new skills, quests were changed and some new enemies were added to prevent the speed clearing of this area and this i believe was main reason we don’t see these areas at Guild Wars 2. But im sure u guys would be able to prevent the same thing from happening at Guild Wars 2.
