Guild Wars 2

So with this new dungeon (Aetherblade) near the end there are a ton of canons going off forcing you to stay out of the way as much as possible for a lengthy time.

With this kind of mechanic, i wanted to suggest a timed puzzle where players can go in (solo – group) the player or group goes in and tries to stay alive for a certain amount of time before reaching a conclusion. winning make the player get a reward and losing makes you start all over again.

- themed holiday timed puzzles
( Christmas – snowmen throw snow balls at you along with gifts and toys)
( Halloween – zombies and ghouls throw explosive pumpkins, large candy, and other objects at you)
( July – fireworks are aimed at the player along with bombs and other objects)
(Saint Patrick’s Day – leprechauns throw pots of gold and silver and other things at you)

- new events timed puzzles
based on each events that come out, there can be mobs or bosses throwing anything at the player. seeing as we’re still in dragon bash and aetherblade – there can be dragons and lasers that pop out from underneath the player.

Time puzzles can be from 5,10, 15 minutes before it ends.

I’d prefer they put in REAL puzzles before adding timed ones.

You know…puzzles that are pure mental and no jumping/running/platforming.
Use this item here to do this to unlock that and if you use the wrong item it causes several bad things to happen making the entire puzzle all that more difficult, put clues as to the item required in the area and make it random to avoid the wiki crowd and force people to pay attention.

Heck…put a rubix cube style puzzle in, hadrian’s towers, the unbreakable knot, the sphinx’s riddles…you get the idea. Put some REAL puzzles into the game that force thought and alot less jumping puzzles as they have become stale. Event he throwing things at us thing is just bland really, it’s been done so much it is practically imprinted upon anyone that has ever raided in older MMOs to look for patterns in things being tossed around.

Take a page from secret world and place some serious mind bending puzzles into the game to truly frustrate people and give a true sense of accomplishment.
