I had a few thoughts about how I think they could add to the living world short term -
- Expand Guild World Events trigger – Currently this guild upgrade is only usable on TT, Teq and KQ. If they expanded its capability to include every major event chain and definitely ever world boss, then you would have guilds triggering (semi organized) events left and right much more often.
- New Guild Mission Category called “World Event” – To encourage the above idea even further, simply add those events to the potential guild mission pool. In addition to spicing up missions and giving guilds a reason to trigger events more often, it would give them a much easier way to add missions in the future.
- Open up guild puzzles to the public – Currently, guild puzzles are instanced. Is there any reason the non-instanced versions should be closed to the public? Is it as simple as opening the door on the current map?
- Turn guild challenges into open world events – Same concept as puzzles above. These are instanced now as well. Any reason the non-instanced versions can’t be open world events?
I do think we need new living world sooner rather than later, but these are just a few ways they could take existing content and make it more accessible/fun for players (imo).
