Guild Wars 2

The events and most skill points take people to complete and there just aren’t enough there now to realistically do them.

The waypoints are constantly contested. If you free one up you would have to just park yourself there to keep it free as it will become contested again seconds after you leave.

Many suggestions have been made for modifications to Orr, I’ll repeat some of them here.

Tone down the mobs, there are too many, they respawn too quickly, and they have the most annoying skills ever.

Toughen up the NPC’s enough to retake the waypoints. It’s so annoying to have to run from the Rally waypoint if you die. It makes it hard to stay with a group if you are lucky enough for one to form there.

Make it more rewarding to be there. With my first 80 it was easy to run with the pack in Orr and get my karma armor. Now with my recent alt, I’m pretty sure karma armor is out, she has the karma but the place is dead.

From Colin Johanson’s latest MMORPG.com livestream chat:

“Orr

-For Jan update , we are thinning out the density of mobs in Orr, making some more waypoints always active, and adding some more new rewards – from vendors, from drops.
-We also tweaked some of the bosses in temples to make them a bit more exciting for larger groups.
-We didn’t complete rebuild Orr but we tweaked it a little bit."

I look forward to the changes.
