Guild Wars 2

The title may be confusing at first but the idea is different from what we have in the game as dailies
Basically, you can call it “Daily Emergency Quest” if you want to
This quest will open up on your screen UI with a red " ! " mark on it
It represents a preset chain of events spread out across all zones through 24h in the day.
To make it more clearly: Every hour in the day there will be a chain of events needed to be done in a different zone.

expl:

! Protect Ads’s orchard in Queensdale from infesting spiders 15 min countdown timer

in these 15 min the spiders will come and come in waves in that Orchard and all other events scheduled for that place will be postponed

! Clean the pond of Tar Elementals in Plains of Ashford 20 min countdown timer

in these 20 min the Tar Elementals will repalce any other event scheduled for that place

etc

So, randomly, for every 10, 15, 20, 30 min special emergency events will occur in different parts of Tyria and they will be announced in the UI.
Every event will end up with random rewards like karma jars, transmutation stones, etc., enough important so people would jump in to do them
These events can happen even in the same zone for 2-3 times consecutively. and whenever you log in in the game you are free to do them or not.

This suggestion give a sort of “live quest line” for payers who can play longer time in a day then the 40 min needed for doing the dailies and are in need of a break from dungeon farming or zone completion
It also creates a sort of server wide virtual chat channel in which imaginary players announce events in different zones.
We all know how people say "Troll Up, Wasp Queen Up, Behemoth Up, etc "

We already have Meta events which can result in parts of the map becoming overrun with hostiles. It (probably) wouldn’t be too difficult to add a “Daily World-changer” achievement for participating in meta event chains.

The meta events are specific chain events that happen in order and are always the same ones. My idea is to enhance events in each zones randomly, with no connection between each other.
These emergency quests will fill up the lack of server chat so basically you will know what happens in the game because it tells you about important reward events instead of players because there is no server chat channel.

Others can call this suggestion a sort of “Event announcer” but it will differ from the usual events by the little raised difficulty.

- For a casual players with little map exploration these events will (possibly) create the willingness to explore the whole map without the repetitive need to do Vistas, Hearts, PoIs
– For the hardcore farmer these events will keep them busy 24/7

Like i said above, the rewards will be more important then the usual gold, karma and exp so people will have the incentive to play them around the clock filling up in this way all the map of Tyria.

I have added a small picture to exemplify the suggestion better

I see there is no interest in this from the community. This emergency quests emphasize being a hero. After all you need to be called for help, right?

I think that’s what the those NPCs can call out to you are for.

I think that’s what the those NPCs can call out to you are for.

yes, they call me if I am next to them. Basically, other then that close aria around you you DONT KNOW anything about the world of Tyria.
its like you never watch the news and you just watch outside of your window.

In reality you can’t teleport to different events happening around the world, but it is sad if not able to do that even in the game. The waypoint system allows for that but there is no NEWS in the game

This what I suggested will be o your interface and it will vary every 15-20 min and it will be go from zone to zone. – sort of NEWS announcement
It is like a guild member will say, come to Sparkfly Fen for some cool event. Not all will go there if they don’t want or they don’t have that zone unlocked. But the guild limits people to its numbers while this Emergency Quest will be available for all people in the server, including those in major cities.

I think this type of random server wide quest will drag more people into the deserted zones we have now, more then the dailies do.
Dailies can be done in 40 min then you just continue either doing hearts alone or farming whatever. There are points always contested and no one goes there because the rewards are not interesting.

If they would award extended karma and exp for example in these emergency quests, then people will be more interested to jump in and do the event even the waypoint travel cost is a drawback currently

It is also easy to implement, just taking advantage of the events we currently have only scaling then differently

We already have “emergency hero” achievement for doing 500 or so events, Why not make this an infinite achievement like the Agent Of Entropy (salvaging achievement) through this “Emergency Quest” ?
