Guild Wars 2

Back in the original Guild Wars, the Eye of the North was a large tower of unknown origin that gave visions to the player character of the Great Destroyer. In the game we could walk up to the Scrying Pool located in the second chamber of the tower in order to replay story missions from Guild Wars Beyond and retake repeatable primary quests that were completed once by the player.

ArenaNet probably has plans tied with the EotN in GW2, probably when Jormag is the next elder dragon to deal with, but the Eye of the North is still accessible in-game. All you have to do is travel to Lion’s Arch, buy a HoM teleportation stone, and double click to visit it. The stone has unlimited charges and costs no money or karma to obtain, this is content that’s already in the game.

So I was thinking maybe ArenaNet could tie all of our Personal Story missions together as replayable content once we’re finished with the final step in our personal story. The Scrying Pool in GW2 may be flooded, but I’m sure it may still work

Too long, didn’t read – slap a “replay” option into the EotN in GW2 for all the personal story missions

That’s a really good suggestion!

+1/I love it.
I’m waiting so much for a way to repeat personal story missions.
Just for fun!

This sounds much better than other suggestions on personal story repetition.

This sounds like a nice idea, although I don’t really understand why you’d want to go back and spend even more time with Trahearne for no rewards? Also I think HoM stones are only available to accounts linked to GW1…

Great idea. And I would also support the option to use the scrying pool to view cut scenes from the Living Story as well.

Yeah, HoM is only available to GW1 players. And call me whatever you want, but I’d sort of rather it stayed that way. It’s our special place <3.
The idea is good, I definitely think the story should be replayable (I also think we should be able to play through the other paths that we didn’t choose, just so we can play them not so that they actually have an effect), but lets do it somewhere other than the HoM.

HoM is not only available to GW1 players. HoM is available to all players however only GW1 players find NPC’s selling stuff in there.

Yes, the teleportation stone seems to be only available to GW1 players :o ArenaNet should fix that, since the wiki says:

Kimmes the Historian traveled from Ascalon long ago to study the Hall of Monuments and the memories imbued therein. He discovered and restored long-dormant magics that enabled him to view the deeds of different adventurers who had traveled to the Eye over the years, and remains there to this day, waiting for a hero who he sees fit to inherit the artefacts once owned by the slayer of the Great Destroyer.

Kimmes the Historian

This implies that those who weren’t destined for the rewards were also able to visit the Eye of the North. Eventually that tower will be accessible to the public, since it’s deep in Icebrood territory and the Norn do want to take their Northern lands back from Jormag who lurks north from the Eye itself. It’s also fitting, can’t just toss out the pool’s “unexplained psychic properties” and replace it with more Asuran technology lol, this is an important point of interest in the first game that was used for visions, isn’t it the most fitting place for repeatable personal story missions?

The teleporation stone is not only available to GW1 players except it was fixed. I don’T have a GW1 account still I was able to gain and use the teleportation stone to the Hall of Honor. However it was useless since there was nothing for me to get there as I reached no points in GW1. The only thing I got was a POI.

I think this is a good idea too. I really enjoy the HoM and port there once in a while just to be reminded in-game that we are still in the same place GW1 happened. It may be in ruin but unlike 99.9% of the rest of the game, it is still very recognizable as something from the past. I wish Anet had done more of this.

Well I think a lot is recognizable, some changes are made etc. I love going be Ascalon, and see ruins of the great wall hunted with ghosts.
It makes me feel nostalgic and nice.
I also would like HoM and a lot more of things from the past shown

Yeah, I loved finding Yak’s Bend in Frostgorge. It’s now called Yakkington’s Toil, although the waypoint is still “Yak’s Bend”.
That was a real kick, as my friend and I got to 80 there with our first characters shortly after release. We wandered in without seeing the name and I went “OMG! This is Yak’s Bend!”. It’s THAT recognisable.
