Guild Wars 2

Must threats always stem from dragons or wacky alliances or feral quaggans or stuff like that? What about Natural Disasters?

Ya know, things like floods, tornadoes, forest fires, maybe even earthquakes. Seems like these ‘real worldly’ events would lend themselves well to in game events, especially if they occurred randomly (as opposed to running on Old Faithfully accurate schedules).

Anybody out there got any ideas? What areas would be most prone to flooding? That is, areas where such a thing would adversely impact people living there. Do you think Gendarren Fields, given its relative openness, might be a small-scale tornado alley?

What say you, fellow forumites? Would you enjoy such things? If so, how would you like to see it done? How would you design a GW2 Natural Disaster?

Either it would happen way too often in-game to be very realistic, or it would happen too infrequently to be worth spending development time on.

Having said that, we do have tornadoes and sandstorms in the Maguuma Wastes.
