Guild Wars 2

Arenanet has said that they don’t want to do Raids in the traditional sense and have created equivalents in open world: hammering down dragons and minions and the like. However, I was just thinking…
What if Arenanet were to create an instanced zone, smaller than the others, absolutely filled with events that switch about every time you enter (Akin to the way Fractals mix up) that take you and a group (maybe it scales up depending on how many people you bring so you can have really large groups) around the map doing event webs that slowly lead up through a story and up to a final epic encounter. That way its still a Raid and would satisfy the people in our community who like that sort of thing, but with a significant Guild Wars 2 flair :P
Just my two cents. Im sure there are heaps of holes but that’s the main idea. Thoughts? Improvements?

I’d say no on more instanced content. They need to focus on bringing more people back into the open-world, imo.

So you want fractals, just bigger? If you want big messy battles, go play WvW. You’ll love it.

Why are people constantly redirecting players who want raids to go in WvW ? That’s like the most pathetic comment I ever saw. So you’re suggesting a player who’d like to see more large scale organized PvE content to go and participate in mostly zergy PvP content ? Very helpful indeed.

To the OP, I’d like to see some sorts of more hardcore PvE content added to the game. Though, it doesnt have to involve huge raids ( like 40 people or something ), raid content with like 10 to 15 people would be enough imho.

I don’t see anything inherently wrong with PvE content that requires a larger party (15+) of well organized people, and DEs just don’t provide that type of content. Raiding is about ‘our team’ and what we can accomplish. “Raids” wouldn’t require new maps either, just new encounters on existing maps that are reached through a green star.

After the fractal discussion, they talk about raids, and more guild issues.
