Guild Wars 2

I know that there is an attempt to get people into all the areas to add that feeling of life to the game but I also wanted to suggest how to get them into the hometowns.

The main reason people hang out in LA(IMO) is because that’s the best place to spam fro groups and also to get overflows for FotM. Since I assume both of these issues will be rectified in the coming patches it leaves only one other reason that I can think of. Which is transportation.

If you substituted the portal to lions arch in every town with a hub much like the one in LA itself it may go a long way. Instead of having to go to LA and then every other town you could just go straight from one town to another.

The only other obstacle I can see is the free teleport back to LA using the mists or WvW. That could just be corrected allowed free teleports back to a town of your choice.

Or better yet, make waypoint-travel free when traveling from one town to another. This would eliminate the need for using asura gates as a means of transportation and spare players the frustration of pointlessly sitting through long loading screens (especially Lion’s Arch – that town takes a long time to load).

To increase the traffic in the starting cities, they need only:
– implement a LFD tool
– get all of the city-based mini games they’ve yet to implement up and running
– rotate one of the Daily Achievements between the city-based mini games

@darkace: We have a third-party LFD tool that is so effective that I hardly see LFG spam on the chat. I see a few LFG spam but not as much when the third-party LFD tool was created. and IMO, daily achievements for city-based mini games would be annoying.

maybe even events in city’s . or ,maybe every racial city gets a dungeon? like a dungeon for lv15 to 80 modes?

I kinda like being in overflow. That’s how a met this dude from another server (LFG AC EM), and started a guild with him. Pretty cool, I don’t like seeing some of the same names over and over again.

IMO, daily achievements for city-based mini games would be annoying.

Keep in mind that they said they’re going to give us more options for Daily Achievements and let us choose from them the ones we want to do. So one of those options per day being a city-based mini game wouldn’t hurt anyone who doesn’t want to do them.

Well asura gates is kinda a part of the lore. so i dont belive they will remove them

Asura gates are fine, even if i don’t like their tech lol.
a). There is other point, i think in starting locations there should be major boss which drop some awesome stuff, that would bring people back in town and hunt it down.
b). Do some daily quests at home area.
c). Do some collectable items which can be acquired only in starting locations.
d). Do repeatable quests for acquiring item which is needed for legendary.
e) Combination of first 4.

Yes, I also agree.

There is this epicly-sized and beautiful “underground” mountain cavern system in Hoelbrak—completely barren of players. What a waste!—Anet should do something with such a vast, pretty area.

Agree with u pure.
