I really enjoyed the openness and freedom of the “quests” and events while leveling up and how it promoted exploration of the entire map. however I found when I reached max level and got map completion I lost some direction. daily tasks are great, and its good that they are more generalized, but I also find myself just going to the same areas I know will work well for said task to get it done easily and I don’t explore as much. the Same goes for Metas. sure you’re traveling the world, but really you’re porting to the closest wp completing the event and then porting to the next.
Another disappointment I have is the lack of interaction with my chosen faction. I was very immersed reading up on the backgrounds of each faction when I first created my character and visited there offices in divinity’s reach. I decided to go with the priory and there part of my personal story was probably my favorite part. The few quests I had exploring ruins were exactly what I had imagined. however I am now max level and no longer have any interaction with them.
My idea is to basically add regular (daily) faction missions to the game. Some missions could be more generic and shared across all of the factions but the bulk would be specific and themed depending on who you chose to align with IE the priory missions could involve exploring/revisiting dungeons, jumping puzzles and other various ruins collection objects, solving riddles etc. Vigil missions would be a bit more combat oriented, completing an assault or defense of a keep somewhere in the world, escorting a vip etc. and the order of whispers missions would be more espionage/stealth oriented. spying on an npc, sneaking into a base for a rescue etc.
but I think its important that there would be a fair variety of missions that you could get, and that they could take place in any zone in the world that you’re level appropriate for and take a bit of trekking. Some would be open world, collection/delivery events and others would be instanced single player dungeon type events. (the last few living world events I’ve really enjoyed having the option to solo and it felt like just the right amount of challenge. I really want to see more of that. Hell I’d even love to see some take place in the wvw maps. perhaps some artifact important to the war effort has been dropped off somewhere in the borderlands and you’ve gotta make your way through to pick it up.
These missions could be used towards completing your daily events, and could also be used to acquire some sort of faction currency and access to new faction unique items/ skins. (the armor is cool,but I’d like a lot more)
