Guild Wars 2

Now that the Halloween event is over, and we’re left without the lion statue, I’m sure we’d all like to see the statue make a return. However, instead of just patching it in and poof there’s the statue back, I’d like to see it come back over the course of a few weeks to a month. Maybe have workers walking around near it, and some stopping to hammer awhile, make it look like the statue is being rebuilt over time, you could even have some events to go with it, to bring in resources for the workers, which could help keep the price of low end materials up a bit, much like the mystic chest we had shortly after release. Or even just skip the events idea and let the workers fix it over the set amount of time, showing different stages of completion as we go along.

This idea I could really get behind

Thanks for the support! I think it would help with their idea of a living world.

I think that is an excellent idea and a great opportunity for some fun.

I would like if we would construct the statue on a diffrent place, because the mad kind would probably destroy this thing next year again.

On that note… Dynamic Evens in Cities is something want immediately comes to mind when I read this. Fixing the great hole in divinity’s reach, help the scientist of Rata Sum, water the Pale Tree.

I think having somthing to do in the city which would shape this place over time would be cool.

You could have the Lion Instanced, and then have quests re assembling the Sculpture, Gathering supplies, Having you go to specific crafters to get them to make an item because they are the best at what they do.

They could be doing something with it for the cursed shore patch on the 15th?

Just a thought

I approve as well, very well thought

A couple of other good ideas in this thread! Make them all happen!

If they do have plans for the statue on the 15th, then perfect, as long as it’s not just a patch and it’s instantly back to normal

I like the idea of there being a worldwide quest to gather materials to fix the statue too. The NPCs can reward the player with some sort of gift bag (like the Trick or Treat bags), and it would be a good way to consume some of the thousands of low-priced items that nobody ever seems to want, like Butter.

Well, seeing as how I posted this a week ago, I doubt it had any real impact, however it DOES seem they were thinking along the same lines, we’ve got piles of wood stacked up where the statue used to be!
