Hey everybody, with the recent overpopulation of Heart of the Mist and especially during these pre-HoT / beta weekend times I find it incredibly difficult to get some target practice done for various builds and skill rotations, since the npcs and target golems are constantly occupied / dead.
I also don’t believe fully instancing a training area is the right way to go about it, because it fully kills the social side and the neatness of a pvp “hub” map.
So, my suggestion would be to use the new system Anet has put into the pve side of things – which is “Adventures”
Adventures seem to pretty much allow a form of local instancing. You can see and interact with enemies and objects on your own, without anyones interference, but you are still on the same map as everyone else. Of course I have no insight into any of the complications and programming involved, but if possible I’d definitely see the benefit for a dedicated pvp training “adventure” area here.
Since the adventures even come with their own unique UI and the ability to track objectives – There may even be a possibility to implement a DPS / DPM (damage per minute?) counter or total damage dealt counter!
Which would greatly help us theorycrafters and build enthusiasts
That is all – just throwing this idea out there since I was thinking there may be some untapped potential in that new tech.
