Guild Wars 2

(This is a suggestion/plea to the anet team.)

Alright so we’ve hit level 80, did all the dungeons, got us some cool gear(maybe even a legendary) but there’s still something that’s missing. An item that you have to fight for. No, I’m not talking about an item that you have to “fight” against boredom grinding for weeks to get. I mean FIGHT.

Introducing “The Lost Arena”.

A solo combat minigame. In which you fight 40 waves of enemies with only 1 life to live, more and more difficult (and i mean pull your hair out and smash your keyboard difficult) as you progress. This will require serious planning and strategy, spot on reflexes, and the patience of a god. Going through all these waves should take 3-4 hours. If you die ONCE you must start over. From the beginning. Even if you’re on the last wave.

So you completed wave 40. You think the pain is over. You think that you have conquered the Lost Arena! No. Your spirit is crushed as you see a figure of legendary stature seemingly melt out of the shadows. You must face the Champion of the Lost. A punishing boss with powerful attacks that could obliterate your health bar in a matter of seconds. requiring perfect timing and strategy. There is no room for error here because remember. You have one life. A death here could mean 4 hours of your time wasted. It could be a crushing experience.

BUT. If you prevail and defeat the champion. You SHALL be rewarded. You will recieve one item. An item that sets you apart from the rest. An item that says “I’ve been there, and i CONQUERED that.” What this item is I dont know. i will leave that up to the devs to decide.

Thank you to those of you who read this far. I really believe the game could benefit from something like this, and i hope something similar is added in the near future. I know i would have a blast with it and im sure some of you would too.

Best wishes.

I agree endgame style like this, is really good. It doesn’t even have to be all that big of an Anera. maybe just a small one located in the mist. It could also have some nice lore attached to it.

For example to find a way to learn about some evil nemesis (a creature like abbadon or someting like Vatuu from legend of korra) and to find a way to become able to kill him, a hero of the world of tyria has to descend into the mist. By coming into the mist and asking help from the eternal mist beings (who are related to the djinn) he has to prove himself worthy to them.

And to prove yourself worthy you have to fight in their arena. Becasue if you have completed for example all 40 stages you have proved yourself to be strong enought to face the horrors that may come by optaining such great knowledge about this evil being and other heavy secret or visions. otherwise if you can’t take the challenge of the arena but still get the info or visions, you will become something like scarlet (driven by madness and a threat to tyria, becasue of her vision).

And by making this really hard you can give it as a bonus to players who are looking for a challenge. Also this boss should be a bit of a secret. So casual players wont even really notice. And only experienced players can do it. By finally completing the arena and killing the unknown threat to tyria you will become the unknown hero of tyria. You saved the day of someting so great and hidden the inhabitans of tyria won’t even know you saved them.

The rewards really don’t matter much but they need to be a unique skin and soulbould. And you will also get a the title: the unknown protector

ps. sorry for my english

I forgot this picture. The eternal mist beings should look something like this:

Wow it’s so great to know other people feel this same way about content like this. Thanks so much for your response :P

I Like the idea of this even if I would never get it done because i cant concentrate for 3-4 hours but ok.
No serious if this is implemented you should be able to save the waves at a certain time let’s say everytime after wave 25 you could save your waves and start at that exact point the next time you get in the arena. If you dont get it done you have to redo it all along and can only save again after wave 25

yhea, it would be nice if you can just save up every wave. but the wave are 30 min each on complication, but you will die alot, so 1 wave can also take up to like 4 hours, becasue it’s really hard. this will still give you the feeling of reward and progress

kinda how the darksouls bonfire system works

i will uploud some drawing soon about how the arena would look like

This idea supports Elitism which I am against, sorry it is a great idea no doubt, but I am against the foundation behind it.
peace out.

why would it support elitism?

You dont HAVE to do this. It would be an option for those willing to spend a considerable amount of time on it. Because honestly.. Us “elitist” are terribly bored. Do we not deserve content just as much as you casual gamers?

+ to the idea. Great end-game content. Please make something like this)
