Guild Wars 2

I would like to see the game have a hard mode for all zones in the game with about the same difficulty as the level 80 zones. this way once you hit 80 you could go back to any zone you wanted to and have some variety while your farming rather then just going to orr, frostgorge, or the cursed shore. i think it would make the game more enjoyable as an endgame type thing.

Also in hard mode i think it would be cool to be able to redo all quests and events with a higher level of difficulty and have normal and hard mode world completions.

I would also like to see special named exotic weapons have a chance to drop from hard mode world bosses in each type of zone (except town zones) with new skins that would only be on that weapon.

So this would add to the end game i would think making players wanna go back to those old zones. i know you can now and it scales you down, but some people dont wanna go back because the drops arent as good. im guessing thats the main reason people stay in the higher zones. so this would get people in zones all over the place i would think. people would go back to each zone also for the world boss weapons i mentioned above. youd see people hanging around playing in zones just waiting for them to show up. and it would also be fun to do all the quests and events at higher levels all over again with better rewards then the first time around.

only problem i would see with this though would be if people would rush through normal just to be able to get to hard mode. but i guess alot of people rush through already. so maybe make it to where you have to be level 80 and have completed normal 100% completion before you were able to go to hard mode. theres probally other goods and bads of this to that i cant think of at the moment, but it just sounds like a great idea to me.

I am confused by this, your scaled down to the zones level. Why do we need a hard mode?

Hard mode could be fun – but it makes no sense to do it the way stated in the original post.

If you want to toggle on a hard mode, asking for an option to be downleveled 5-10 levels more than normal is the way to go.

I understand where your going with it, and normally for most games I would be right on the same train as you, so when I say this don’t take offense to it.

I don’t feel it has a place or is needed in GW2

If you were afraid of offending me your fears were misplaced lol – I don’t need a harder game for it to be fun… and won’t be upset if this never happens.

LOL cool, you never know on these fourms people get offended so easy when you dis-agree with them

Not possible to make a “hard mode” when the world is a persistent MMO world.

If you want hard mode then run around naked with no elites nor utility skills

Yes, considering how the game works, this would probably be the best way implementing such a request.

As of now,the easier zones are way too easy,there is no contest,even when being down leveld,it has no serious impact on me and i can one – two hit kill everything on my path.Doing events in these zones is a bore and i usually dont do them,so im not returning to Alot of maps because its just to easy to be wandering around.Hard mode maps would be a nice feature to make these maps a bit more interesting ,getting better loot for lvl 80’s,gives players the chance to keep on enjoying the Entire map and not just the 70 – 80 zones.I think it has just like in gw1 a great place in this game.

Would you be willing to play this without an increase in rewards too? Because otherwise, this will once more split the community and leave the casuals further behind in the economic race.
