Guild Wars 2

Could we get a fractal of the Battle of Lion’s Arch?

Those who joined the game March 2014 and later, never had a chance to play that episode. We have that sort of cutscene ANet added, but it is not much enlightning for new players. Also we still have recipes which require certain materials which droped in that area. We already have small sections of the war as fractals. The molten facility, the nightmare tower, the atherblade retreat, but the battle of Lion’s Arch is missing.

I do not ask for a way to get back the old currency to purchase lost items from the event vendors! We have tons of lost items in the game, which are now rare on purpose. Everytime people ask about that, the answer is no. It is gone.

But we still have the spinal blades recipes, the blueprints are getting rare on TP now. Farming bladeshards without the forge is sort of a pain and the assault cores, well I heared a rumor of some high tier NM fractal runs. So I guess at least that is possible, somehow. We have other Backpacks tied to living story, Mawdrey in particular. All required episodes are accessible for everyone, still. If you are willing to unlock them for gems.

The battle was so much fun and a great gameplay experience.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

(O_O) Why did no one think of this before? Fractals would be an amazing solution to play missed content from LWS1. I 100% support this idea.

It’s been suggested a huge number of times since LS1 finished. The idea itself is quite appealing for many, same with Marionette which also gets suggested. The problem is doing the originals justice.

Nightmare Tower for example is based on the LS1 chapter, but is absolutely nothing like the original in mechanics or story. Battle for LA was great, because it was a huge, epic coopertaive group based content. There is a feeling that could not be recaptured in a small party.

Personally, I like the idea of Fractal Raids, incorporating enough ppl that things like Marionette, Battle for LA, Claw Island (see someones Claw Island survival suggestion recently) and other sweeping epics could be given justice to.
