Guild Wars 2

We need more use of this city. This may be one of the most epic, well constructed cities I have every seen in an MMO and it is of no use.

Why Lions Arch? Why not Divinity’s Reach?

they’ve already done more with div’s reach, black citidel, rata sum, and the grove than they have with other racial cities.. oh, wait

Some sort of recurring short duration festival type event at each racial capital city could be very cool. As it is now, at least the capitals are good for cultural armor, and DR does seem to be the favorite choice of the RP community.

DR is one of the best designed cities I ever seen in any MMO, I love walking around in that town and aren`t around that place enough. But every time I return I wish this was a place in rl…

I spend most of my time there after I got my Royal Pass. Also Since I stopped spending so much time in LA I have noticed I don’t get nearly as many Gold Sellers PMing me. Not sure if there is a relation there or not.

If you’re asking why ‘Mad King Thorn’ appears in Lion’s Arch instead of in Divinity’s Reach that’s because Mad King Thorn used to be an actual King of Kryta when Lion’s Arch was the capital of Kryta, so that’s where he appears Lore-wise.

Divinity’s Reach has got attention more than the other cities since release, such as:

Re-construction of The Great Collapse
Crown Pavilion
Queen Jennah’s 10 year Jubilee
Scarlet introducing herself in Divinity’s Reach with the clockwork madness thingie.

If anything, the other 4 racial cities are neglected in comparison.

I think festivals are right to be held in Lion’s Arch, such as Dragonbash, Wintersday & Halloween, so they are racially neutral festivals. I would however, like to see one thing a year for each of the racial cities.

Examples could be:

An annual celebration of Queen Jennah’s coronation for Divninty’s Reach (July I think it was)
Super Adventure Box for Rata Sum. (Perhaps every April when it was first introduced)
Celebration of the awakening of the Sylvari in The Grove.
Celebration of the victory in Ascalon for The Black Citadel.
An annual Great Moot for Hoelbrak.

I like DR far more then LA.

DR has a waypoint within 1200 range of a bank, guild bank, and TP… LA can’t even come close to competing with that…

I think Rata Sum wins when it comes to the convenience thing. That waypoint has all the vendors literally surrounding it.

BTW, Rata Sum needs more love! We did have the super adventure box but… well you know…

Put a mystic forge in DR and watch everyone going there instead of LA.

DR and the other towns would be far more even, if ANet would put in finally all the missing content of the game, which should have been in the game from begin on in regard of alot of missing activities.

Rata Sum > Polymock, Super Adventure Box

Divinities Reach > Bar Brawls, Archery,

Black Cidadel > Smash Em’ Up

That are known activities Anet has talked about, which are even listed in the Wiki, which still aren’t in the game with Anet having had for some time even the Achievements for Bar Brawl in the game, until they removed them later, because whyever they postponed the implementation of the activity.

I wish those activities would finally get into the game, especially Polymock.
