Guild Wars 2

If this has been suggested before, then sorry for repeating this!

Since renown hearts are only meant to be done once, why not phase the aftermath of their completion? We do have dynamic events to fill in the void! I know it would take a major patch or expansion to make something like this happen, and not everyone would like it, but I feel it would add to the immersion to see our tasks leaving a permanent mark on Tyria.

Everyone else, what do you think? Yay, nay or alternate idea?

Probably not technically feasible, but I support the idea.

Probably not. Sad but makes sense. Glad to know though that I’m not the only one who would like to see this!

Getting a thank you letter is nice, but not fulfilling enough. I still feel good when I complete renown hearts!

So… if your guildmate wants some help doing their renown hearts, and you’ve already done them, you can’t help them because the mobs won’t be visible to you, or what?

Hmm. Good point. I didn’t think about it like that. Ideally though there would be a way around it, but I’m not a game developer so I don’t know how to answer that!

Speaking of helping guildmates, why not make renown hearts just infinitely repeatable events with small rewards, like achievement titles? After you complete a renown heart, you get another bar to recomplete it for karma+exp rewards (probably best not for gold lest they be farmed). This way it’s not worthless to help guildies complete renown hearts with thankless tasks like stomping frogs and answering trivia questions.

Actually, when I first started, I assumed that’s what they were for. Stick around and keep helping out, get some karma to spend in that area. Seems a bit unintuitive that the renown vendors are asking for a form of currency that you can’t get by helping them further, but for doing mostly-unrelated events.
