Guild Wars 2

So what do most people think of the Heart of the Mists?

Because more and more I find that the map is a very boring and stale hub that doesn’t at all feel like the place the title suggests it should be. Even the loading screen is just… meh…. For me the hub of the Fractals or the Edge of the Mists are much closer to my image of what the mists should feel like.

Also, it has become very clear that the entire map and it’s structure is very outdated. Places where once the glory vendors and the water and cannon practice area were, are now of course completely useless.

I’m honoustly hoping for a revamp for HoT with new practice areas for Stronghold and stuff like that. and also I honoustly keep hoping for a feature where people could free roam in a private instance through the different maps to fully explore them and get familiar with them (and also just to look around: the maps are so beautiful when you take the time to look around and see all the little details, yet a person barely has that time since they’re in a fight)

So what’s you’re idea on this? Would you also like to see a nice revamp for the hub?

HotM revamp + queue out of hotm is one of the three main requested changes.

What’s number three haha?

We should have a “Design a PvP hub map contest”.

Thinking about:

• NPC’s (merchant, bank, ambient life)
• Map theme (desert, snow, jungle)
• Map layout (merchants, practice area, verticality)
• Activities during queues (jumping puzzle, 1v1 arena)
• Practice golems (condi transfer golem, kite golem, heal golem)
