Hello I would like to say first that I am glad that is given this step and go to recostruir which in theory is the main city of the game, the place of convergence of races and cultures of Tyria.
With this post I want to give some personal advice or suggestions on the look and functionality that should have the city
1. Architecture.
I’m a big fan of the graphical part of the game, normally I observe every detail created and see the progression of the effects on the new maps as the quality of the shadows, the wind on a grass etc .. But there is something lacking the game is a real shame, Architecture. Obviously there are areas of the game with granciosas buildings and headquarters of the priory, in the vigil, or divinity’s reach, but in reality is not a functional architecture. I personally miss to enter a trade that is under a roof where there is one or more types of merchants or not all about open spaces or ruins. By this what I mean is that I hope the reconstucción of this city and the emergence of future possible cities is an increase of architecture, which has fountains, a grant temple to explore with various own levels and NPCs from there they can bring you something in the pve. All destroyed, traders without even a poor counter to their products, all is unrealistic and very dull.
2. Racial Districts.
In connection with the stated above, no other would be the own races and / or cultures may have their own thematic area, for example an area for silvarys near the port with lush vegetation and its typical architecture or a large multi-storey tower and asura headquarters control. Arch lion is a very large area and I think it could cover all these things and more.
3. Something new.
In the guild wars 2 everything seems to be hundreds of years or destroyed and as I mentioned earlier level viewer looks at all these details it’s very boring. Not bad to have such areas are indeed necessary but in my judgment so are new areas in the sense of “new” that such a wall is not built with rocks and archaic and abruptly, technologies within the progression in the game has evolved to make a smooth and nice wall undamaged. All these details are very applicable in the context of a city rebuilt.
4. One idea to consider.
Finally I will show a picture of a game called Lineage II, one of its cities. I do not pretend to be copied the architecture type or form, or distribution, Guild Wars 2 has to be own but want to watch out for one important thing that I will discuss, Everything is functional, the cathedral has its own NCPs levels , passages, you can somarte from a deck and watch the other players, each house is dedicated to one thing, one is a gun, another store potions, another bank ect … and why not … one could be your home or rather the house of your clan, but not as an instance and will surely be future guild hall but as a proper place for you as you get to be the best clan of the month and have all services available.
