Guild Wars 2

huge +1 to this idea
Although I don’t agree that the loot system is utterly broken (wouldn’t mind the loot dropping at my feet like it does in WvW though…), I hate that Orr is good for pretty much nothing except farming ori nodes.

Amazing thread. Developers pay attention.

Even with Anets recent Orr polish, heading towards this direction with ALL endgame maps is the way to go.

the title is soo misleading :P thought you wanted pvp in orr xD

well the idea sounds really good would love a warzone of pve.

This idea was posted before the idea of Laurels was introduced. Perhaps they could be implemented into this idea aswell.

I like a lot of your ideas. Your change to loot will never happen though. They explicitly do not want a way to effectively convert karma into gold. Period. Another Period. Discussion over. Period.

Maybe if they introduced yet ANOTHER currency for helping with the sieges they could use that, but Karma =/= Gold. Period. Do you get the point? Period Period Period.

This is how Orr should have been built. This is how a lot of us hoped the dynamic events to pan out.
This would be AWESOME!!! +100000

This would actually be pretty neat to have wvw mechanics in a pve setting and Orr is perfect for it.

I have to admit I wasn’t able to read the whole post because of it’s length, which is funny considering I did the same thing a few days ago in the suggestions forum. That being said though, everything I read was brilliant. I think this should definitely be implemented in Orr at the very least, though I would personally point to it being implemented in some of the larger scale battles seen throughout the world, giving people reasons to go back to regions throughout Tyria, as opposed to just Orr.

I personally don’t know much about WvW, I’ve only been in there twice with my guild, both times I had no idea what I was doing. I hit 80 just about a week ago, on my first character, newbie here, and Orr has been quite boring to me. I’ve been told that the karma armor sold in Orr was just about the best one could get, but I was never told how impossible it would be to get the vendor to pop-up! This idea sounds like it’ll free up some of the altars to allow to vendors to show up, which I’m all for. I’ve been just map/guild spamming whenever I want to try to clear an altar, but the most I’ve ever been able to get is around 10 people, which ended up failing after a long walk/fight.

wow, that would be more than perfect! +1

You, sir OP, are officially my hero.
A Thousand and One +1s for you!

Edit: I’m having a brain hurricane! Now all the PVE-ers complaining about WvW in dailies are satiated too! This just keeps getting better.

This is such an amazing idea. I’m not usually one for pve but this would bring me back to Orr on a regular basis.

Additionally there are probably quite a few people out there who are intimidated by wvw and how complex it may seem – doing something like this would introduce them to the main tactics and how much fun wvw can be ^__^

Fantastic idea. This is the kind of unique gameplay that would put GW2 further ahead of other MMOs.

It’s unique, it sounds like a blast, and it would be a massive challenge. Absolutely yes.

This. Needs. To. Be. Implemented. NOAW!

Dear Anet,
pls hire this guy as content developer.
Tks..

Jokes aside, great Idea!

I’d also add some small scale skirmishes for solo/small group,
something like the capture of road-guards and supply trains in WvW.

Also, add supply lines running through the area, that players need to protect against small undead commando groups attacking behind the front lines.

very interesting i would love to actually experience it

This is full of too much win. Outstanding job, ANet REALLY needs to look at this and consider highly changing Orr into this.

I literally was going to log into the game and head to Orr after reading this, but then remembered how it currently is.. =[

ANET GODS! PLEASE CHANGE TO THIS FOR ORR!!!

Just want to bump this up to first page from the 8th+

Hope it gets the attention it deserves.

needs more attention!!!

I love this idea. I think it fantastic. It won’t happen in Orr though, as much as we would like it to. I’m hoping something like this will be in the next expansion. Maybe in the next elder dragon’s domain.
In fact, I’m begging. Please do this Anet.

It would be nice to have a PvE battlefield instead of timed events. The best orr map at the moment is Straits of Devastation if we consider the mechanics. The map has three assaults that need cooperation from the players. Players talk in the map chat about their progress at each path and work together in many spots to accomplish the assault Balthazar. I played these chains some times when I needed shards and I always loved that after some hours we finally took the temple. The map is nice because much of the content focuses on a common and rewarding goal.
On the other hand, Cursed Shore is Tag Wars at the moment.

This would fit in great with the lore since killing Zhaitan weakened the undead and stopped the mass production of the risen. It could be like a push to cleanse Orr.

+1
Love this idea, hope it doesn’t somehow slip under the Devs radar.

just bumping it so that it gets the recognition it deserves

nice post, I would like to add that there should be reward for having Orr “free”

like in each zone that occupied by the rizen there will be no t6 nodes.
only when the zone clear you can gather t6 materials.

but, the champions that lead the Orrian army should give a unique nice reward, so the player community will have to chose between t6 materials and champion drops.

Sounds good +1

Sounds pretty awesome. I also had assumed Orr would be similar to this already.

Well done Sir. Great idea.

Bumping until implemented.

Ok I have to keep this thread alive it’s just too good of an idea and will make the end game infinitely better. I’d love too see a post from one of the dev’s on what they think about this.

+1 to this, seems legit.

MUST. KEEP. AT. TOP.

As a pve player, this holds appeal. I never had any interest in any pvp type game play, though several of my friends do. They have long ago abandoned trying to drag me into wvw as I simply don’t care for anything with pvp.

This could actually be something interesting for me. As it is, I have no interest in wvw stuff. And, Orr is just a tedious mess for me as is.

Great idea.
But I won’t get hyped up; we have already seen this community wants easymode.
They had to actually nerf Orr due to complaints, don’t get your hopes up.
We’ll never get hard world zones like GW1.
2013 gamers want to win and win. Challenge is just an annoyance.

As nearly all of the above people said, it would be awesome if they could make Orr something looks like the OP’s idea.

I would be A LOT more entertaining than the grind zone we have now.

This is what I imagined the end game zones would be.

If they built a sandbox like this; all these zones would be full and have queues 24/7.

I still say this idea would be brilliant.

Message was deleted due to it not having content.
So..

Yo forum bot, I heard you liked content, So I put content in my comment on a brilliant forum topic full of rich content..

That didn’t work out too well, but AT LEAST THIS IS GETTING Bumppped to the topppp!

Alternatively we could just add Risen zergs into WvWvW xD and actually have proper loot. they should only come out AT NIGHT, and have a tendency to attack the winning team.

Hire him? I remember the first time I heard Colin talking about Orr I imagined it like this, “assault to normandy, fight for temples” then you realize is just time kicking events…

Hope Anet hears out :P!

I also imagined something like this when Orr was announced, Anet should look into this.

This still hasn’t had enough attention. Anet, look at this kittenmit!

Wow, thanks for reviving this… this is the most awesome thing that can appear in MMORPG game. I would even pay to have access into “Reforged” Orr. Too bad people can’t make modifications to the game like they do in some other multiplayer genres.

Finally, a good threadnecro. Don’t know how I missed this thread in the past. Full support here! At the very least, throw a similar system into the next Elder Dragon’s territory/fight.

On a scale from 1 to 10, this Idea deserves a 20. It would make Orr soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more fun to play in, it would give Zhaitans hordes the feeling of a true threat that it needs to be taken serious. I would love to play in an Orr that would be like this. I really wish atleast some of your mechanics make it into the game.

I shall be ‘reviving’ this every so often until action has been taken. lol
LONG LIVE THE THREAD UNTIL ORR IS REFORGED!!!

hmmm yeah this will definitely make orr a better place.

i want this!

It sounds like a great idea, but we might have commanders that require X amount of players to report to before some major siege starts, like the Balthazar event, or some other event chain.

Kudos for the interesting idea.

Awesome idea!

But leave Orr as it is and do this for the Jormag push or something

Yes please, this sounds awesome. But we would be to be careful, because they did something like this with Karka Queen in terms of players needing to capture bases in a PvE environment, and we all know how often that happens. So there would need to be protections against low pop servers not doing the events. Easiest is to lower amount of enemies holding forts and attacking forts on lower pop servers. Or a better idea is base the number of mobs attacking on players doing the event, you know the whole event scaling system that is barely noticeable because it kinda sucks.
