Guild Wars 2

my idea is that with the resources this game has it could be amazing to make a dungeon that players would actually be afraid to do alone but having people with you would scale it and make it harder meaning maybe alone is better off even though it would scare you and you wouldnt want to play it during the night

heres how it would work

say during night in game in a graveyard a grave will open up leaving a ladder you can climb down

when you get down there will be a dull lit room with a NPC looking scared
when you talk to them they say that this place doesent feel safe and there friend is inside and hasnt come out he tells you to grab a torch to light the way

(the torch lights up the room as you go but NOT MUCH! along the way you will run into monsters and not being able to hurt them with your weapons instead you will have to pick up a gun your find

to avoid players targeting them easy the gun shoots in a small cone or a straight line where you aim so incase you cant see them you cant just spam shoot

second you will have ammo and be forced to search for ammo as you look for the NPC you are trying to find

“BUT IT WILL BE DARK WITH THE GUN!” dont worry you will find lanterns and torches on walls you can light as long as you have matches

to make it harder you can not heal unless you find med kits or tonics or something

when you find the NPC it can ither trigger the next floor and have like 5 floors or so or put a twist into the story

all your normal abilities can not be used here and monsters dammage in % not numbers meaning all players are experiencing the same danger

the map should have keys or puzzles that are actually a challenge

my idea is from my all time favorite game series silent hill (expecially silent hill 2)

so yeah what do you think?

oh and of course after give a message to players “please dont tell players tips as these dungeons are more for the gaming experience” so that all players can enjoy and have a sense of unsafeness in the world of tyria"

and i forgot to add! when a player does a floor they can continue at that floor so its sort of like a dungeon story

So you want an entirely different game? There’s no point in putting this in Guild Wars if you’re just going to remove the skills and the healing system and the stats and add an ammo system.

well why not? people wanted mini games

You can’t really have a “horror” experience with a heavy UI. Horror requires immersion. First-person perspective is good; fixed-camera third-person is okay; free-camera third-person (allowing you to safely look around corners or see what’s on the other side of a closed door) is lousy. When you have guild chat on-screen (e.g. friends talking about dragon spawn timers and telling rude jokes), a nagging reminder about your unfinished daily achievement, and a minimap in the corner, you’re just not going to get a sense of personal fear. At best, you’ll be able to startle the player by making monsters suddenly appear. Toss in the whole “ability to instantly leave the scary place and zone into PvP/WvW” and any sense of tension is shot. I just don’t think that the concept would work.
