Guild Wars 2

So I was in Auric Basin the other day, preparing for the last meta event. I was standing on one of the branches overlooking the southern entrance and I looked down at everyone running around, getting ready for the fight. Meanwhile I was playing WarcraftIII to spend time and saw a cutscene that reminded me of the sight from GW2 which I just described.
Then a wild thought appeard in my mind.
Of course I know that it might not work out but what if GW2 had a Real Time Strategy version?

Have you ever wondered how it would be to play the story from the Pact point of view?
You know, 3 forces: Vigil, Durmand Priory and Order of Whispers with unique units that have their very own campaign, meeting later on to form allied forces against Zhaitan and other dragons.
Such game might have linked accounts so that our characters could be shown briefly in the cutscenes or take active part in missions.

I think that it would be dangitty dang great and I’d play the kitten out of it.
What do you guys think ?

I imagined WvW will become similar to that.

A decent thought but two things:

1. It could not be as good as Warcraft. It just couldn’t.

2. It’s a sad reflection on GW2 that the waiting times are so long that you have time to play another, quite involved, game.

WC3, even on its hardest setting, has a super easy campaign. Also missions there are designed to have at most a medium attention span. There’s never really a time where you have to be on edge for more than a minute or two. You can also pause at any time.

True that ^
Well… I am a man that looks for a good story and I play anything that has interesting lore.
I just got really hyped when I thought about such RTS but in GW2 universe.

I did too only to realize that all my “units” would only follow my orders if it was clear to them that the orders would lead directly to their benefit. Otherwise they either don’t pay attention or flat out troll you.

A WvW RTS where you command NPC units though would be a welcome thing to me.

Please no. I don’t want a crappy app taking up most of dev time and just there for the money.
