Guild Wars 2

Instead of constantly kittening about raids, how about we also come up with some fun ideas for the devs. Here is a mine…

Instead of having one rigid raid design, how about providing a selectable alternate raid intro and wing options. Something like… No vale guardians. 1000 pocket raptors blocking the entrance. Veteran, elite, champion pocket raptors nest inside. Legendary matriarch and patriarch pocket raptor bosses…

No gimmick mechanics, just wading through and surviving against overwhelming odds is the idea. An alternative option can be designed for each raid path going foward that is focused on fast paced combat and fun. If players really care about rp/lore stuff then they can run the original raid for it. So essentially you have a lore mode and kick kitten mode to choose from.

A selectable difficulty slider/scale should be made available regardless.

Your turn…

Selectable alternate raid, You mean like dungeons?

They are not working on dungeons anymore so it’s all about the raid…

How about creating some RAIDing quaggan bots to fulfill the squad instead of dumb and lazy people who keeps getting afk and complaining about necros? This would kill the hours of waiting on raids and help people to complete it.

Repair anvil before every boss.

There’s a bucket before each boss.

Each and every time the raid group fails, it fills a tiny bit.

After a set amount of wipes you can interact with it and the following text appears:

“Thank you. This bucket of your tears will be used to hydrate a quaggan.”

…In reality, Arenanet actually tracks how many buckets are filled and posts it on their numbers synopsis post for various things like they did with WvW.
