Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen a lot of different complains about the new events, waiting around for them to begin, etc. I have a humble suggestion for a change that might alleviate a lot of the concerns. This is for Marionette, but you could extend it to Tequatl or Giant Wurm pretty easily.

Similar to Siegerazor in WvW, have each of the five “biconics” (Marjory Kasmeer Rox Braham Taimi) be gathering points for players. The meta-tracker will show the number of players near them along with a minimum. So…

If the event fails, everybody dies… but you can immediately restart it by gathering at the biconics.

This means no more waiting around for hours. Failure still sucks, but you can get up and try again. The count makes it easier to tell how many people are at each lane.

This allows for open world mass-scale content without timers and without instances.

Thoughts?
