Guild Wars 2

I had this small idea for more incentive to do a variety of open world events

• do 15 unique events in a zone in a week to get a zone-token. (kind of a weekly zone- achievement)
• for 2 zone tokens you get 1 piece of zone-related gear/a skin. (for example a Queensdale Guard Helmet, or a Kessex Hills Centaur-Hunter coat.

this would mean you’d spend at least 12 weeks in a specific zone to get a full set of zone related armor. People wouldn’t farm the same events over and over, instead they would have to look for other events in that zone. To explore the zone.

you could buy other things with the tokens too… for example:

• a 28-slot centaur hunter bag which automatically sells all centaur-related junk-items for vendor-price.
• a centaur-chief head for future housing-decoration. Only 10 tokens (lol).
• a lucky centaur-tail. You get +100% magicfind on centaurs. 5 tokens.
• a piece-treaty offer: centaurs are now neutral to you until you attack them. You can talk to certain ones. 30 tokens.
• a guild mission unlock – battle against the centaur-chieftain. 8 tokens.

…things you can show off – so that others see that you really know and are an expert of the zone.

+ people would go back to low level zones
+ there would be a new progression to get the full set
+ great for RPers to dress up as a band of centaur slayers
+ people wouldn’t farm the same spots over and over
+ they would see more of the world by exploring the zones looking for events
+ a new reward system with non-power progression
+ unique rewards

not much discussion going on :-(

I’ve made a reddit-post here:

maybe a better way to introduce new ideas

28-slot bags? The current maximum is 20.

As for the 100% MF thing, that’s a bit bad, considering that you could easily get ones relating to Orr and end up with an additional 100% MF in all Orr events.

People would go to zones that would get them the best benefits for Frostgorge Sound and Cursed Shore.

Also, considering that we already have lists of dynamic events, I doubt that it would do much for the players, especially since most of them would only be interested in the Orr-relating things.

proof that people don’t only want Orr-related things: Final Rest. Tons of people farmed low level Events to get this staff.

+100% of 1% = 2%… wooow now that’s bad…. not. Let people who like boring farming and grinding max. level zones do this. They get no other unique rewards from Orr though, once they have the exotic set complete. They could get new unique rewards in each zone though

And what do you do after you have your legendary? Grind the next one? Or enjoy the other areas you haven’t seen yet. (And don’t tell me you’ve seen everything, events aren’t up all the time and heart-completion is only a small part of the game).

ah, I forgot the bag. Make it a 22 slot then ^^ I don’t care; it was an example

Your on to something, It would be awesome if every Friday for example there was a massive world event. (All over the world).

And all the people on the realm had to stop what they were doing and join together and fight.
