Not sure if these have already been covered and suggested, but throughout the game, especially now as we hear more people that feel bored or at a loss of what to do after accomplishing almost everything we can do in PvE, here are some things I’ve been thinking about.

1) Massive World Dynamic Events – Well not sure about that term, but anyway, I’m thinking of some extremely rare DE (like only once a month or something), where something massive happens. My main suggestion is to plunge an entire major city (Divinity’s Reach, Lion’s Arch, etc) into an instance. Whoever enters the city enters this instance. In this instance, for example, one of the Elder Dragons attacks the city and the map literally crumbles and falls apart, a destructible environment. Meanwhile all the players rally together to defeat the mega boss destroying the city. This can take place in different servers, at different times, can be random or scheduled. Other than dragons, other things can happen which is on a large scale, such as natural disasters, or even a take over of a “safe zone” city by bandit terrorists or something. I feel that we need larger scale random events that shakes up the player’s world which feels so constant and safe. Another example outside of cities is if a new Elder Dragon awakens, much like Kralkatorrik and its branding of the land, if we can have an event where we can see the dragon corrupt the land and attempt to stop it. On that note, it may play out to be a larger scale storyline which affects the history of the world etc, instead of simple personal storylines whereas the normal world remains unchanged. The current system of Dynamic Events to me wasn’t so dynamic as it repeats easily (sometimes quite often) and is not a permanent dynamic. Even killing Claw of Jormag, blasting off its wings is kind of jokes since it comes back a while later with new wings. LOL

2) Evolving Maps – It seems like there are a lot of new maps waiting to be updated, so I’m excited for it. Lots of gates that are guarded and inaccessible with teaser messages from NPCs. Crystal Desert, Dominion of the Winds etc. Of course there seems to be more Elder Dragons to face. However, will the actual map change as we complete our storylines. For example, the current story line finishes at Trahearne cleansing the land of Orr and it is supposed to be recovering again. But this obviously only takes place in an instance. Is there any way to incorporate a constantly evolving and changing map?

3) Residential/Community – I think this has already been asked and discussed, but perhaps maps that are exclusively residential and community based, where players/guilds can purchase houses, have communal buildings such as lounges etc with additional benefits and onward. I feel that as serious as the game can be, people can really also appreciate a constant place to sit back and relax, interact/socialize with one another to keep up with the fun element. I know people who end up being bored at times and feel like they need a breather. Right now, there doesn’t seem to be a safe place to do so. To elaborate, Lion’s Arch, Divinity’s Reach, large cities like that sometimes has random gatherings of strangers and exchange conversations, or fool around with tonics and dances. However, most of the time people may not respond to you when you speak to them randomly, and players generally keep to themselves. Even in DE and after events, I often don’t see much conversation exchanged. So it’s not quite comfortable in a way. Is this a server thing or is this shared universally?

4) On a more personal note, please fix the ranger 1h sword skills LOL. It is buggy as it is slow to execute, misses often, overshoots, and is even more so on tricky terrain, as well as lacking a proper gap closer.

5) This has been discussed before, will there be “cloak” back accessories available? It’d be really cool to put on and display a cloak over top your armor.

Other than that, still a great game, and will be here for a long time
