Guild Wars 2

Just for relinking, cause a Mod was at the opinion, this here would be offtopic, when the posting was clearly ontopic in regard of the Fractal CDI’s discussion around Lore Fractals!

ColinJohanson.2394:

We could do something like this, but when ends up happening is the work involved ends up being a lot of additional work to basically build something people play one or two times and then are done with it. In that time, we could have probably half built another real fractal, which I think probably would be better for the game over-all. Maybe the real question would be -> How do we try and get across better lore and stories with the current fractal system?

Reading this and remembering back on the CDI about Horizontal Progression makes me sad and disappointed somehow, when I think about it, how much more organized and coordinated the last CDI was compared to the current stuff.
By seeing what happens everywhere in the forum, I think it was by now a very very bad decision to start up 3 CDI’s at the same time, instead of making 1 focused one.

You clearly see directly what is missing mostly everywhere – constant summaries are missing. In the last CDI we as community did the the biggest job mostly, so that basically nothing was overseen by you Devs and everything was quickly findable.

Now seeing this here, I must ask myself, if my suggestion regarding exactly this topic several pages before of your post has been even read at all by one single dev.
I find it even more irritating, that several pages later after that post starts a whole discussion around a topic, that is lored based fractals, which I have made already alot of pages earlier before and that also detailed, where your question also gets answered.

But I think, its normal that alot of ideas seem to land quickly in threads like these into oblivion, if nobody makes constant summaries and summarizes similar ideas together, so that they all can be taken into consideration for further discussions.

So from this point on, I’d like to know from you, by asking you Devs directly, what your standport of view is about lore fractals (I did name the idea Heroic Fractals as a project name for the idea) to add to the game as new Gemstore Content new Tomes of History, that would work exactly like the Bonus Mission Pack.

That way it would allow you to let us play ingame some epic moments of GW1 lore and history as also GW2 lore/history in regard of the 3 novel books, what happened in the 250 years between both games or alot ealier.
I’d absolutely love to replay especially the 3 novel books, Ghosts of Ascalon, Destinies’s Edge and Sea of Sorrows in the game as Heroic Fractals, where players can slowly unlock more and more access to the content of those history tomes to explore more and more of those special Heroic Fractals’s Chapters and and verses of the History Tomes, that would be locked by Memories which players would have to unlock through using Essences of Memories

These completed Tomes of Histories could be used at the end then as rewards, just like the Dungeon Books of GW1, which were a great way to earn large amounts of experience, reputation and especially naturally gold and they were lovely to completely for all of the lore lovers, because you could read also in the books and change like readign a real book between the pages – that was awesome I want this back in GW2!!

Fractals need to be improved and that also with new features, to keep Fractals fresh and interestign for everyone, not only groups, but also Solo players.
These lore based Heroic Fractals could be designed t be played either just solo, or as a group.
If you play a Heroic Fractal, like Ghosts of Ascalon solo, that would anble for example the player to choose ou,t which character you want to play in that Fractal.
Do you want to play as Riona, or do you want to play as the main protagonist of the book, or do you rather play as the Norn or Charr or Asura of the story??

These Heroic Fractals could be also used to expand the original stories and show us maybe new things, that the novel books were just unable to tell.

There are easy ways to bring people to keep on playing these Heroic Fractals and not just stop dong it after one or two times:

You’re remaking a deleted post?

This was made only for a relinking, the thread self can be closed.
This is -not for any discussion.

I have the strong feeling, that my post got only deleted due to someone who didn’t liked that posting, having reported it and the Mod has just only deleted instantly, without really reading the posting, cause Part 2 completely stayed untouched.

Forum guidelines frown on the remaking of any thread that was deleted, regardless of what the poster feels the reason was.

The Mod self said this:

Please refrain from creating off-topic posts or posts meant to derail a thread. If you have something to share which can stand on its own, please create a new thread for your topic as it pertains to Guild Wars 2. Posts which derail a topic that are inflammatory in nature are not allowed.

Thats exactly what I did. I created a new thread for the “topic”

However, I fail to see the reasoning behind the deletion, because my posting was clearly on topic about the discussion around the Lore Fractals.
