Guild Wars 2

Hello A-net. Today I’d like to suggest an Expansion idea. Okay yeah I know you haven’t even released LW season 3 yet but you need to plan ahead, right? So I thought about how cool it would be to have
a Pirate/Sailing themed Expansion after hearing about the supposed Deep Sea Dragon in the ‘endless’ ocean. The hook for this expansion is boats. My idea for it was that you could actually
get a mastery that would allow you to sail with different kinds of boats. First would come the Sylvari boats that would be more Plant like cause… Sylvari… second would be Norn boats that would either honor
the current spirits of the wild, or maybe a couple of sea themed ones like Shark or Jellyfish, third would be learning to sail Human ships which would resemble ones in real life. Fourth would be Charr boats
which of course are made of metal and gears and may include the experimental Engine that was mentioned in the book “Sea of Sorrows”. Fifth would be Asuran Boats (I named theirs last intentionally
cause they would have the most complicated ones) I’m honestly clueless as to what an Asura boat would look like. Metallic and glowy seems to be the theme. Throw in a couple of crazy inventions and
you have a boat! Maybe. And where would we be without PACT themed boats. Which come last. I think we all know what a Pact Themed boat would look like. Some of the Weapon ideas for these boats,
Boarding Cannon: Launch yourself into the air and glide onto the enemies boat to take out their weapons and crew.
Cannon: Standard, boat cannon.
Anti-Air Cannon: Take out the ones coming to your boat before they get there.
and one racial themed weapon. (Coral Spike for Sylvari boats. Mortar Fire for Charr boats. Prayer to Lyssa for Human Boats. Stuff like that.)
Next let’s go over some Guild Hall ideas. I was thinking an Island and a Flagship. Each would have a dock to deploy the boats of course and maybe the masteries from HoT. This would be fun but I’ve been
having trouble coming up with names for them. You might be able to pass off one of the Isles from GW1 as the Island. Hunter’s Isle? Wizard’s Isle? The boat would have to have an original name and you may
want that to fit your story so I’ll leave that to you.
Armor and Weapons have to be Pirate themed. More so then the current “pirate” weapons. In my own opinion they don’t look too pirate-y… Plus Light Armor really needs a Pirate Armor that isn’t just for
humans.
I know i’m leaving a lot out like Specializations or the Dragon’s name (Ynasi? Unader?) but i’m not a proffesional. I’d like to leave some of it to the people who are. That’s all i can really think about for the
Pirate Expansion.
Please, at least see if it can be done.
