I like to play Guild Wars but besides the weekends I don’t have much time with an 8h per day work and 3h trip forth and back, and a 30-40min break is not enough to start up GW and play a little if you still want to eat.
So I though it would be awesome if GW had some “options”.
Here are some Ideas:
Cross/Multi-Platform Gaming
For those who don’t know, I don’t mean the kind of Cross-Platform Game that allows you to play the same game on different Platforms like Overwatch on PC, XBox and PS and all players can play with each other, I mean the idea that you play different games on different platforms that are all contributing to the same base game/account. (If there is another Name for that I am not aware off, please correct me ^^)
As an example for GW specific, imagine an App where you play Polymock and you can unlock achievements, earn resources and money that can be used in that game or transferred to your GW Account, or are completely linked in the first place.
Like a Mini-Game in GW but you can play it anywhere with a tablet or Smartphone.
Mobile/Browser Application
Sometimes I only log in to do some small things (under the week), chatting a little with the Guild, doing some transactions in the Black Lion Trading Post.
I think it would not be a bad Idea to be able to do those things outside of the actual game too. Like connecting your Skype/WhatsApp or anything with some of the ingame chats like guild or map/city chat.
Also an “Black Lion Trading Post”-App, that is linked to your inventories and bank maybe, sounds interesting to me.
Now, I understand that something like that takes a lot of resources that can be used for Living World 3 and the Expansion eventually after.
And if I had to decide between a well made LW Season 3 and a great expansion compared to a not so well made Season 3 and a mediocre expansion + a Cross-Platform App, I would always choose the first.
But well, maybe in the far future this would be an option.
