Guild Wars 2

The living story is nice, but it’s like they are forgetting something.
If i walk trough a already existing zone, does it feel alive? Yes and no.
Yes because of the dynamic events.
No because… what do i see?
1. Death npc’s everywhere. A charr getting owned by a pig..
Npc’s have to win from certain mobs (or always when fighting 1vs1). What when you need to defend a village? Npc’s are down in no-time, and not just because the enemy is with so many more then them.
Escort event? Forget it.
Higher the damage and health of npc’s please.

2. Why is there no night in Tyria? Now some players are screeming against their monitor ‘’look to the sky, there is night!!!’‘. Yeah just and only in the sky, landcape is always sunny. If something would give me the feeling of a living world, it would be day/night. I don’t want a dark place like the Ice Shaman fractal (in the forest). But enlightened by moon and stars. I remember to have seen some night in a trailer, but i never encountered it ingame.

3. Timers of dynamic events. (if there is a timer)
I rescued a village, walking away its getting attacked. Rescued it, walk away and its getting attacked again. It really ruins the feeling of ‘’i rescued this village, i’m a hero ^^’’

4. Some extra events in some area’s. Because there are some places where nothing happens.

If they fix/add this in game, I believe I would have the feeling of being in a living world. But atm the world is kind of death.

This is something I’d like as well. A decent day/night/morning/afternoon/evening and a good dynamic weather system.

I know they already have a day/night cycle but its kind of weak. What would be nice is if you could choose the darkness of the nighttime. Ranging from the night in the snowblind fractal to what they have currently which is kind of like a late afternoon. I really like the sound of crickets when its nighttime – that was a nice touch. But sometimes that’s the only way I know its night.

Some people don’t want it too dark, others do. Perhaps give people the option since you are basically throwing a filter over the textures anyway. maybe pick between a few settings or have a slider to adjust the darkness.

Dynamic weather, thunderstorms, blizzards, lightning, thunder, bright summer days, the red glow of morning, morning mist, the sun on the horizon casting long shadows. This kind of stuff would be amazing.

Have the shadows stand out more, currently you can be in areas where you cast NO shadow which is silly, as soon as that happens it looks like your character is floating.
