So I was thinking the other day and did some searching around the net and came across a few things (images attached below).

I feel like ArenaNet should really add Underworld and Fissure of Woe back to the game. Not only that, all of the other realms we never saw in GW1 (Melandru, Dwayna, etc.) should also get their regions done and thrown in as well down the line.

You already have artwork for Grenth’s Regalia for the UW armor set, you already have artwork for what appears to be an awesome revision of Dhuum, and you have a lot of people wanting to return to these awesome dungeons in GW2.

Obviously since no new dungeons are being added this year I’ll leave it as a simple vague suggestion for now, but I do feel like adding them would be awesome and a ton of my guildies who played GW1 would LOVE to see these return. This will also give you guys a chance to go back and do the ones you didn’t have time to do in GW1 like Melandru, Dwayna, and Lyssa.

This could also be another way to acquire Ecto without having to salvage every rare you get (UW) and getting Obsidian Shards without requiring a temple that nobody does to be open (FoW).

That…. Is a actually pretty cool.
But don’t make it some lame kitten dungeon skin that all the baddies can get their hands on… But then again ascended armour would involve Meta Event farming and we know how difficult that is… Never mind.

Lol true, I know. I am going to rename this thread and actually refine it a bit since I added it around 6am after not sleeping. We can hope though, right?

This is something that is indeed needed.
The dungeons are there which usually take 10-15 mins rewards are decent now.
But the feel of going into an elite area like UW where trash actually drop mats worth while is would be simply epic.

Also I know as a vet gw1 player, most of us waitted over 7 years hoping that the statues of dwayna, melandru and Lyssa would actually one day allow us to venture in an epic new place but were only dissapointed when nothing became of them.

Adding UW, fow and 3 additional elite areas will make the game beyond epic.

I would also like cantha (deep & Urgoz) & Nightfall ( Doa) but god knows how long it will take to even unlock anything close to these areas at the rate of these living stories.

Thanks for the feedback. I do agree with everything in your post. I’d say once Cantha and Elona are finally added we can revisit the ideas of their elite areas returning, but for now I feel like UW, FoW, and the other realms we didn’t see are a welcomed addition.

I would welcome the return of the Underworld and Fissure of Woe. However, its healthy to keep in mind that we wouldn’t be getting the old dungeons back. They would be new dungeons in the spirit of those dungeons from GW1…. but they might not be as good, or be totally different game play wise.

It’s also a bit of a pity, that with the many races the game is less focused on the human gods. So would it make sense for them to add the realms of these human gods? (who left Tyria btw) Probably not.

I mean why not? Just because more races are involved in the game doesn’t mean we can’t explore elements of each in depth. Human Gods are relevant to GW2 as a whole and I, as a Charr, wouldn’t mind going to the realm of the human Gods to see what’s going on.

I also realize that it’d be an entirely new experience with the GW1 spirit and that’s fine to me. Obviously with something like this they know they’d have an extremely high bar and high expectations to meet so I’m sure they’d do the best they could on it.

Have been suggesting this for months…

Just hope that in case it does happen, Anet doesn’t screw it up… But then again, they have a reputation of screwing things up…

I’d like areas that follow the basic design ideas from UW/FoW, but I don’t think I’d like to see the actual areas again. Too much potential to ruin GW1 memories

Areas that follow the design of Deep/Urgoz/DoA would be nice as well. The idea of progressing through rooms, which have various debuffs and/or require small puzzles to get through.
