Been reading the forums with interest lately and a thought occurs to me.
What would you get if you merged the Final Rest threads with the Chest Event Lag threads with the End Game threads?
The quest for the legendary is, for casual players like myself, a long-ish term goal. The dragon timer website allows me to hop from one event to the next, knowing I’ll grab myself a bunch of rares which, themselves, are ecto lottery tickets. And there’s a chance that an exotic will drop which, unless it’s my precursor, will simply become a bunch of gold and silver.
And now I’m levelling toons in order to do this multiple times a day.
This is beginning to concern me! What will I become?
On the road to the legendary, I’ve kitted myself out with a Corrupted Greatbow, an Arachnophobia, and a Naegling.
So to my point: Would we not generate more end game and alleviate the chest event lag and provide the excitement of the (ultimately disappointing) Final Rest chase by creating lots more cool skins and hiding them in all those other chests around the world?
How cool would it be to hop through Demongrub knowing/suspecting there’s a chance you’ll drop a longbow which fires frogs? Or to open that darned chest at the end of that three hour long Griffonrook bomb run to find the Sequined Quaggan Speargun?
I’m sure the Anet art team would love to come up with hundreds of new designs, and I suspect they wouldn’t take too long to create, and I also suspect we’d have a decent part-solution to many of the oft-cited ‘concerns’.
Downside would be that legendaries would potentially lose their appeal, although provided they always remain BiS, I think this would be moot.
So more skins! Hundreds of cool exotics actually worth hunting for and equipping!
Would certainly appeal to me as I either solo, or mosey around with my son poking our noses into caves and mini-dungs. Heck, I imagine it would appeal to those Final Rest zergs too!
