Guild Wars 2

While I was playing the personal story I came to the last part where you have to defeat Zaitan (Victory or death). To my disappointment it is a dungeon and I need to be in a party of 5 people to actually have any chance to do anything. The AI that is with you is more or less useless. I think that the personal story should be designed so that you can do it alone, and I mean ALL of it. I know the game is social and all that but to have other players in your personal story is entirely optional.

So what I was thinking of is that ONLY for the Story dungeon mode players would have the option of doing it solo or if you could recruit a set of GOOD AI companions that would help you in the mission, if you want to do it alone. Kind of like Guild Wars had Heroes or Henchmen. You could even make it like you pay a fee to hire these “Sell-swords or Mercenaries”. Let’s say 5 silver or something like that. The AI could respond to the call target that you can do when you hold Ctrl and click a enemy.

That way it is possible for people to do the story dungeon alone with these “Sell-swords or Mercenaries” or with other people, but the explorable dungeon mode would stay as it is.

Hope most of this is written OK.

I’m all for this, but I don’t think it will happen. By percentage, there aren’t enough people who wont’ team up to make it worth it. Even if it’s 15% of the playerbase, it’s a lot of work for a relatively small group.

With the amount of content being planned and worked on, plus bug fixes, plus QoL updates, it’s not going to be easy to spare a team to redo the dungeon.

And until you’d done the dungeon, you can’t understand how much work would be involved in redoing it for a single player.

Good point. I’m still hoping it will happen at some point thou. Perhaps with a larger update or perhaps (hopefull) a true expansion like Guild Wars had.
