Guild Wars 2

A lot of GW 1 veterans remember the times when they raided/speedcleared such iconic locations like the Underworld, Fissue of Woe or Doman of Anguish. While such elite areas where 8 men content, Urgoz and the Deep where even 12 men content.

One of the outstanding aspects of those elite areas was that trash encounters were often more challenging than boss encounters. Boss encounter mechanics on the other hand were sometimes not as sophisticated as they are now. So for a remade Underworld raid we could use a “best of both worlds” approach: Challenging boss and trash encounters.

While it was a good choice to introduce raiding into GW 2 with a new location, I cannot wait to – hopefully – one day revisit those locations that once where like a “living room”.

Who else wants to see the old elite areas back as updated raids? How would they need to be modified and which elite area from GW 1 should be remade first?

Ummmmm some of those are open right now in GW1 for you to play till your hearts content or at least until Monday.

Being able to see GW1 with GW2’s engine was why most GW1 vets played GW2 in the first place, only to be disappointed at all the changes. Solid Ocean fractal blew my mind after seeing all that jade leftover. THE JADE SEA. As glorious as I imagined it to be playing GW1! If they remade elite areas from GW1 in GW2 my faith in Anet will have returned.

I’d love to see UW and FoW as raids in GW2, I hope they’ll do it…

I want as much gw1 content recreated in gw2 as possible. Back in 2012 (and still) my main desire was to “play gw1” but with better engine, graphics and combat. Unfortunately, ANet doesn’t create any fractal content, kills dungeons and hates the idea of bringing old places back (thus leaving only mere ruins or skipping them via map placement). I’m hoping for the abaddon fractal and much more gw1. Please ANet forget about Elder Dragons (treat them like dungeons), they’re boring. Come on create something awesome and movie-worthy like nightfall story.
