Guild Wars 2

I was thinking the other day, while annihilating a cave full of “bandits”:

“Man, it would be cool if, at some point, these bandits tried to seek their revenge”

That would make things pretty interesting. Especially if the made hidden “daily/weekly” event out of it. Let’s say Anet has a an event system implemented, for multiple mob types, that triggers after you do a certain number of things. An example would be, If you kill 50 bandits, their current leader puts a price on your head. Each day, throughout the continent, a group of bandits will attack you at random, trying to claim that “bounty”.

Once you’ve killed off a certain number of bandit groups, the “bandit leader” increases the bounty on your head, thus, giving the bandits more incentive to claim it. Over the course of the week, the bounty, and the difficulty of the bandits, increases. On the final day, the “bandit leader” decides to finish you off himself, and sends you a message, telling you to meet him at the bandit “HQ”.

Anet could make a little “mini dungeon” out of it, where you, and a group of guildies, fight your way through the bandit HQ, and finally kill the “bandit leader”. After that, not only is the bounty removed, but, it also turns any bandit into a neutral mob for 24hrs. (for you and your group)

Ehh, it feels like it would discourage higher levels from going back to lower level zones even more than they already are. Presumably, everyone who’s been to the last half of the game would constantly have the undead “bounty” (For lack of a better term, it would be something else, not a bounty.) on them, since that’s all you ever fight after, like level 35. Why would they want to have to deal with constant Bandit/Son of Svanir/Inquest/Flame Legion attacks too?

That’s assuming “undead” are part of the event system. If they were left out, it would give MORE incentive to revisit lower level areas.

As far as the attacks go, It would give people another reason to seek out groups, and join a guild. It also adds a little more challenge to the game., which is something people complain about not having enough of.

Okay, so excluding undead is a good idea. Maybe just the 5 major racial antagonists? The ones that disappear in later zones? Bandits, Sons, Inquest, Nightmare Court, and Flame Legion.

And more challenge is good. I just think this is less challenge and more annoyance. If I want to go map complete a starting zone on my 80, I don’t want those guys hounding me for a week for doing it. It almost seems like it would punish players for returning. Even if the mobs in the later events in the chain scale to your level, I can no longer do all the starter zones in rapid succession. I have to wait a week. More challenge is fine, but not at the cost of freedom, and definitely not as a punishment for skill.

I’ll admit that. It could be quite annoying for some, but, I still like the idea, though lol. It doesn’t have to be exactly like that, either. Maybe just a “daily” event chain that happens once a week, for just that day. It could work if it’s done right, that’s all i’m saying lol.
