Guild Wars 2

Hey I was thinking. Players love challenges right? Players like to win and feel like they improve their skills. That’s why Dark Souls is so popular. Well I was inspired by the boss fights at the Pavilion and thought that Guild Wars 2 should have these Towers in a few locations of Tyria.

Players would be challenged at the entrance to enter the Tower and have duels with champion enemies at each level of the tower on their way up. Each level of the tower introduces a harder and harder boss. If they reach the top and defeat the final champion, they become the new champion and King of the Tower. After that, whenever a player makes it to the top of the tower, the current King of the Tower will be notified whenever he is online that he is being challenged. He can then choose to be teleported there to fight the challenger himself or let the NPC champion fight for him. However he will still lose his position as King of the Tower if the NPC loses.

The top 5 players who conquered the higher levels of the tower will be in the hall of fame at the bottom of the tower with their image on the wall.

You forgot to mention what kind of ‘shiny’ people get. Remember this is GW2 and unless there is some kind of pretty reward they can lug around with them that no one else will even pay attention to anyway, then they won’t do it.

There’s got to be some other rewards besides loot. Like sense of victory, fame, power, position, etc.

No,no,no…. Like I said you have to remember this is GW2 we are talking about. Read around the forums, watch map chat. Players demand their ‘shiny’ things. Things they can wear or carry to show they completed a task. Things that no one else will even notice they have or care about. ‘Shiny! Shiny! Shiny!’

Okay how about you get a special cape you get to wear around when you hold the King of the Tower position. :P Each tower has its own uniquely-designed cape.

I dislike the last part of your idea. Somebody who is good enough at PvE to defeat last boss of tower, cool, give him some cool reward, but don’t force him to wait week or two till current King of Towers logs in,and owns PvE player with his imba Phantasm Mesmer 1v1.

No, capes are overdone these days. I suggest this.

Oh yeah, so when the King of the Tower is offline, an NPC champion will just take his place. It could be the NPC version of the player with his skillset and traits and more HP.

Also, Tyria is real life _

This sounds like the tower in the anime Hunter X Hunter called Heaven’s Arena. You start at the bottom and the higher you get the better the enemies and better rewards and if you defeat a floor master you become floor master of that floor. Then there’s Battle Olympia which is the “last” fight and if you win you get to live on the 251st floor in a penthouse.
You can challenge a floor master whenever you want.

When you get to 200+ floor you only fight for glory. No rewards. So only the best would fight.

This would be the ultimate PvP. Please remove capture points and add this instead. This would be a lot more fun watching than the current SPvP. These would make great tournaments and E-sport material.

That looks like a really cool tower and the concept is very interesting too. I just love one and one fights and there could be a lot of prestige involved like the Heavens Arena.
