Guild Wars 2

So I was looking around for some new skins at end game and decided to check out what my order (of whispers) had to offer.

I couldn’t help but notice how interaction with your personal order seems to have no real endgame presence. Sure the Trinity are seen all over the place in Orr, but the player’s personal connection to his/her order becomes non-existent the moment your story quests are complete.

Upon revisiting my order’s area, there is even an instance with chambers only for players who are members of the order. I’ve been 80 for quite a while and this was unknown to me primarily because it’s quite irrelevant.

What I would like to see is some repeatable/variable quests that can be obtained at an order’s headquarters for members. Perhaps they would just give standard quest rewards, perhaps like dungeons, you could earn tokens towards gear of your order.

Maybe even a teleportation stone much like the one used to get to the HoM could be used to make the Order’s base feel more relevant to the player. I don’t think this would significantly decrease traffic to LA as a gathering point so long as not too many amenities are place in the Order’s HQ.

This perhaps could have been put in the suggestions box but I wouldn’t mind player feedback.

I think the Order’s should have a reputation system like factions did in WoW. It was another area of end-game basically, and though it was a lot of grind, I’m sure ANet could figure out a way to do something more dynamic with the orders.

I’m also inclined to think that maybe they’re saving some stuff for expansions, where I imagine your Order will again have a role, and hopefully they will build on this and really flesh it out to be something important.

Guild Wars 1 had a faction reputation system going on dealing with multiple orders/factions (one of them being Order of Whispers), in which farming was part of the end game. I don’t think we’ve seen the end of the orders yet, so a system might be introduced later.
