Guild Wars 2

I mean epic 1v1 against your next elite spec and some lore interaction in an instance at the end of the quest, that would be really sick.

It doesn’t even have to be like caladbolg, really, I mean, just ANYTHING will do rather than HoT’s ‘out of nowhere’ style.

I get that the previous ones couldn’t have had a story because we were dumped into the heart of the maguuma, there wasn’t a window of time between the crash and the death of mordremoth (canonically) in which the player had enough time to forget about mordremoth and go do other things.

But lets say there was, and you take it into acount for the next expansions, some ideas of how I would’ve made the elite specs:

Reaper: Return to where Belinda died, deal with the spirits of those who died in the attack.
Tempest: Help the Zephyrites, find a deeper understanding of the elements.
Berserker: Lead a fight.. get into trouble.. realise you have untapped power.
Chronomancer: .. can’t think of anything at the moment.
Daredevil: .. can’t think of anything at the moment.
Dragonhunter: Change Braham’s diaper. Get into trouble and lose your gear, left only with Eir’s longbow.
Glint: In a desperate time, you need the power to defend your allies, memories of an old one reach out to you.
Druid: Shaman of the Raven is taken by the Sons of Svanir, whether you’re a Norn or not, an ally of the dragon is an enemy of you!
Scrapper: PLAYTIME! GO FUNKY IN THE SCRAPYARD.. no sorry.. can’t think of one right now

Those are pretty good suggestions, ones I can get behind.

Reaper: Go into a connection with the Spirit of Belinda just like Marjory did, or Marjory just teaches you how to become one.

Tempest: Help the Zephyrites to get rebuild and become their leader as an Ele-Character

Berserker: Go into a fierce battle, that makes you lose somebody, who stood very near to you and you go berserk on your deep rage that arises from the loss of a friend.

Chronomancer: Your future self travels back in time to warn you about the future you came from to make you become a Chronomancer sooner, than you would have become eventually normally without the help of yourself – in the hope, that this tiny change in your past will solve your problems of you in your future, due to your past self being sooner more powerful, having skills, that will help you to make things, successfuly from now on, which you wouldn#t have doen successfully without being aChrionomanceri n that situation.

Daredevil: You simply teach yourself to become one by doing training sessions somewhere at a lonely place like a mystical wood with a waterfalls to train your yourself there, to meditate there ect to improve your abilities of evading enemies and to perform counterattacks. You make risky things to train yourself to become more self confident and to lose your fears, by confronting yourself with them, thats what a true daredevil has to do to stay cool right in front of the most risky situations.

DH: Get your hands on Eirs bor and revenge her, by defeating with it in an epic battle a big dragon champion completely alone with just the bow and your traps by luring the foe into them.

Druid: Get in touch with nature, become one with it and receive in return the powers of the Druid with your first druid staff being created out of the nature for you as some kind of present to you made and delievered to you by animals while you understand what they do and say, as if you can speak with animals in some kind of way like no one else can.

Scrapper: Scenes show you on a junkyard, how you search things for you, that you need to repair something – that something is your very first made gyro prototype, which after beign repaired, sacrifices itself for you to protect you from harm, just to show you, that you were able to create something, that was able to gain some kind of own personality, that was in the end more than just an A.I being made by you – which in return motivates you then to create in honor of your first prototypes gyro who dsaved your life, to make a strogner, better new Gyro that should surpass your first prototype gyro in every possible way

Herald – no clue, somehow by destinies means stumble opon the place, where Glint was killed in the past and obtain there her powers

With all these things said, in fact NAet would have it had easy to give them all lore, if they would have had the tiem for that lore to implenment, if they would have cared to do so and if NCSoft wouldnt have rushed them so much to release HoT too quickly, than was good for the game – then we surely would have had a better chance to see also integrated lore for the Elite Specs in this game.
