Orr, (Cursed Shore, Malchores Leap, Straights of Devastation) The most barren of zones in my entire server (Kaineng). The events here are never completed, and are pushed as far back as can be. No one ever does these events so the mobs here are plentiful and annoying. I’ll cut to the point. what’s the point of coming to Orr? My friends, you can easily go to Queensdale, or any 1-15 zone and Champ farm all day and get the same amount (probably more) than you would in Orr.. You get the same exp, gold, karma, and leveled loot, as you do in any zone, because it is level based. So why go through the constant stress of being immobilized, slowed, knocked down, knocked back, etc, just to complete an event that you could do in minutes in Queensdale? The only reason people even come to these zones are for the map completion, discovering Arah, or Orichalcum & Ancient Wood Logs.
I’d like to suggest some changes to make this land have more of an impact on the rest of the world (as it should due to lore reasons). And bring back some people to get rewards WELL WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT.
1) Have a World Event take place in the Cursed Shore, and spread throughout Malchore’s Leap, Straights of Devastation, and consume the other zones of Tyria, until the event is pushed back to the Heart of the Cursed Shore, or until the Leaders of ‘Destinies Edge’ are killed, and the queen is killed. Causing major side effects on the world.
a) this would stress the importance of making sure these events and sieges are dealt with, and would bring people back to Orr to prevent their beloved champion farming zones from being taken over and halt their gold making ways.
b) As a result of saving the entirety of Tyria, justifiable loot should be given, no greens, rares, or exotics, real loot, to make those who spent that time, stress, and effort to prevent Tyria from being consumed.
2) Give better loot, gold, and Karma to the events in the Orrian zones, so people would spend their time in the zones rather than in Queensdale farming champions all day. Because the loot is based on your level, there is no reason to go through the stress of the Orrian zones, because there’s no reason to. So making you receive a substantial amount of loot, better quality of loot, higher exp, gold, and tons more Karma, would give people more reason to fight off the Dragon’s Corruption.
I don’t know… I am just tired of walking through these zones, being the only one in them during peak hours, and being cc’d for days, having no one to do the Alter world events, get back some of the way points, and make Orr a little bit safer, and more fun to explore and travel through.
