Guild Wars 2

Some past events were extraordinary!

Everyone that played since the beginning probably remember how some events were quite awesome! While the improved Living Story provides the players with new content, it makes the old desired content be nothing more than a happy memory!

So my suggestion is how can we make the old content back? Easy make it available on the Fractals of the Mist! When i first look on the fractals, it kinda looked to me like an unstable portal that somehow messed with Time and Space, making the players cross some sort of a dimension into those places.

So what if we add some bonus rounds (instead of always killing the Jade Maw), like the Halloween themed, the Christmas and some other ? Those were quite amusing, and could even allow in the final chest to receive one token to redeem a skin from those past events!

Example:
- Halloween, with a mini clock tower, with the last boss being a Jade Mad King.

TL;DR: Fractals of the mists, are a good place to make some past events fractals to allow players to remember old content and also getting tokens to redeem for past rewards!

You can put past events anywhere, just need to make them an instance, fractals don’t need to be used as an excuse. If past events were to ever come back, I wouldn’t want them to have any association with fractals or dungeons. I’m sure there are other things we can do to spice up the PvE grind.

While i understand your point of view, creating a feature would require a few things. Fitting the Lore is one of those. How can you set “past” events without disrupting the Lore? Fractals of the mists provides a “Time/Space”. Creating it within it’s Fractals would be a good form.

I don’t like FotM at all, but i have to say i can’t see it fit anywhere else…

There doesn’t need to be a lore imo.

“Here’s a door, it’s magical and space timey. It can take you to past events in Tyria.”

Done.

This asura gate has been affected by time distortion and will teleport you back to XYZ in the past. Simple.

Though I’d love more permanent dungeons/raids. If we have 8 permanent dungeons, why can’t we have more?

Clean up the Scrying Pool in the Hall of Monuments and you’ve got the perfect place for this kind of thing. In Guild Wars 1 it allows you to rewatch Eye of the North cutscenes and play the Hearts of the North missions.
