Activities, Activities … where are they? Is there nothing I can spend my time on instead of lvling alts and farming dungeons/karma?
The reason I start this Topic is because many people and myself want more Activities/RPG elements to enjoy the time on this awesome MMORPG game. Instead of farming…
After Wintersday I realised they CAN make enjoyable activities in the game like Bell Choir.
There is already one enjoyable activity named: Keg Brawl but in my eyes it is more a PvP activity and because its the only one yet I can’t play that all the time, thats why I can’t focus on farming karma/dungeons or playing WvW allday long…
But what about Bar Brawl? the achievements are already there but it seems the activity itself is not in the game yet.
And before the release of the game they were talking very open about activities that are going to be available in the game, like the Target Shootout. the playground is in Divinity’s Reach already but its ‘closed’. The same with Uzolan’s Mechanical Orchestra, would that be a alternative of Bell Choir? Well atleast I hope so because it is my favorite activity so far, unfortunatly its not accesable anymore because Wintersday is over
.
There are alot activities in the queue listed here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Activity
But what about something different.
I think almost everyone here that loves MMORPGs has played Runescape, If you look at the gameplay there are alot of enjoyable things to do like Building your own house! which in my opinion is a very big but fun activity to spend your time on right? and the ‘Agility’ skill was also very funny, to gracefully swing across rope swings, scramble over rock slides, squeeze through pipes and more.
Let’s go back to Building your own house, we can cut trees for wood, we can mine alot of different metals that you can use for building your house. and what if we think even further? what about we can make our own farm with animals or plants and stuff.
And if you like it what about a progress/lvl system, the higher the lvl the better/more stuff you can make/produce.
Some other ideas that came up in my head were:
Fishing
Riding (pets/animals?)
Hunting
More grouped jumping puzzles (like Wintersday and Halloween)
But people like rewards right?
If I’m right Arenanet would reward players for doing activities like unique skins/costumes etc. maybe a small amount of in-game currency(gold,silver,copper)?
What do you people think?
Pls share your Ideas and suggestions below!
