Activities, Will we be seeing a change?
I can only guess the set the activity for the day to eliminate the potential for queue times.
Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.
Going to try my best to express my ideas and keep this simple.
The activities in game, IE Kegbrawl, Southsun Survival, ETC, have always been fun for me but I do feel like they have been ‘pushed into the corner’ where as now there is only one of the activities available a day that rotate with each other. You now have to speak to an NPC in Lion’s Arch to join for it and also know which activity is available.
I would like to know if not only are we getting new activities added to the list but if any side work is being developed not only to have access to all games at the same time but the rewards and perhaps additions to them.
Rewards like a unique miniature of the three floating crystals from Sanctum Sprint. A finisher that shows arrows raining down on an enemy corpse from Southsun Survival. A tonic that transforms you into a keg that rolls around leaking ale from Kegbrawl.
Perhaps a new currency you get as a reward from all the activities that you can use to exchange for new items or even turning them in for the Queen’s Gauntlet tickets, Candy Corn, Dragon Bash Candy, Wintersday items, etc etc.
Activities REQUIRE a change as not only are they something fun to do in the community, much like mini-games, but there is no option to do them with your friends/guildmates as well, you are thrown in with random people.
I propose that all activities should have their own NPC around the world, much like how Kegbrawl is in Hoelbrak, so should Southsun Survival be in Southsun and Sanctum Sprint remain in Lion’s Arch (Maybe add a Zephyrite with a flying kite ship above him for effect).
Finally, I am still waiting for more activities to be added as was planned. I speak of the Polymock in Rata Sum, the Shooting Range in Divinity’s Reach, Bar Brawl in Black Citadel, and I was thinking of a Plant vs Risen (Plant vs Zombies spin-off) in the Grove so to balance out each race with their own fun activity.
I hope something like this is in the works! I know we do have an expansion on the way, so I agree all focus should go into that, this is something to just add into the fun with stuff to do in game.
I can only guess the set the activity for the day to eliminate the potential for queue times.
