In this thread, I will be sharing my idea for what the next patch should be. This is just something fun I thought of during work (I’m a medical scribe, so I’m very bored haha) that I’ve added to every now and then. This patch idea is story driven and meant to further the PVE aspect of the game, which in my opinion, has faltered. This will be broken up into different sections with what would be included.

Story: Remnants of the Dead (WARNING: In game spoilers below)
Since the defeat of Zhaitan, the undead hordes upon the island of Orr have begun to recede. However, some of them still remain, stubbornly clinging to the world of the living. On the northern coast of the Cursed Shore, the remnants of the dead rally to their last leader within the halls of the Dark Cathedral. Veteren soldiers of the Pact fight night and day to finally extinguish the undead threat once and for all – sending out a call for aid to any and all brave adventurers willing to set foot in Orr one last time….
Entering the portal to the Plains of the Dark Cathedral…
You enter the plains of the Dark Cathedral, cliffs rising endlessly on each side. A tall Norn in plate armor approaches you, her long white hair flowing behind her as she rushes to your side. Behind her is a rather short man, wobbling to keep up with her.
Dialogue plays in game, no cut scenes.
Figure 1: “So this is it then? A call is sent out to all of Tyria and only five people respond? Typical. We defeat an Elder Dragon, save the world, and nobody wants to help clean up the mess left behind.”
Figure 2: “Excuse my wife, we’ve all been a bit on edge since the siege began. My name is Lt. Radulfr. This is my wife Pyri.”
Pyri: “Captain Pyri.”
Radulfr: “Yes… Captain Pyri.”
Pyri: “In case you haven’t noticed, we have a siege underway. Since you’re here, you might as well make yourselves useful. When the Asura left Orr, they took all their fancy weapons with them. For the past three days, all we’ve had to attack their walls with are the catapults we’ve… commandeered from the Risen. There’s no way we’re going to breach their keep. Luckily-”
Radulfr: “- a small, yet capable team can sneak through their lines. With the right diversion of course. On our signal, the rest of our forces will engage the front gates. While they’re distracted, we’ll try and find a way inside through the keep’s wall.”
Pyri (smirks): “Think you’re up for it?”
The group makes their way through the plains, the Pact and Risen fighting in the distance. As the Pact and their siege weapons advance, as does your group upon the Cathedral’s walls, killing all Risen in your path.
Radulfr (whispers): “Wait.”
Radulfr sneaks toward a spot on the Cathedral wall, tapping it with his hand."
Pyri (growling): “This isn’t time to admire the fine craftsmanship!”
Radulfr: “The wall is weak here. Hand me your pickaxe heroes. If we hack away at it we should be able to break through in a couple of hours…”
The wall explodes outward, sending Radulfr flying backward. Pyri screams out his name and rushes to his side, dropping her weapon. As the dust settles, a towering figure strides toward you. The creature is naked, pieced together from multiple discolored patches of skin. It’s adorned solely by a crimson spattered apron, and the two giant meat cleavers in each hand.
Jin, the Canthan Butcher: “Mmm… more flesh for the Butcher.”
[BOSS FIGHT] Jin, the Canthan Butcher
- Jin, the Canthan Butcher has a 90% damage reduction when attacked in front. However, he gains 150% damage when attacked from behind. The key to this fight is focusing an attack on his back when he follows a player. The player being followed is then to lead him over traps on the ground set by NPCs for massive damage.
[Butcher’s Rage] “Surrender your flesh!”
- Jin focuses on a random player and swings both cleavers repeatedly for 10 seconds. Any players caught in the path take 50k damage.
[Slice and Dice] “Your heart rate is quickening.”
- Jin focuses on a random player for 15 seconds. Jin swings wildly, causing his attacks to miss 50% of the time.
[Explosive Endings] “Let’s end this!”
- Radulfr and Pyri join the fight when Jin reaches 50% health.
[Taunt] “You smell worse than a Charr!”
- Pyri taunts Jin, causing him to focus only on her for 5 seconds.
[Explosive Endings] “Lead him this way!”
- Radulfr lays mines on the ground. At 1% health Jin is invincible unless lead over a mine.
Upon death, Jin explodes, a rewards chest where his body used to be.
Radulfr: “Uh… was that INSIDE him?”
Pyri (sighs): “Let’s go my love.”
