Guild Wars 2

Hey there. I’m suggesting the return for classic GW1 dungeons Fissure of Woe, the Underworld, and others which we weren’t lucky enough to visit in GW1. I will go over a few things in this post and will be as specific as possible.

In Guild Wars 1, we would pay tribute to a God and visit their realm in the Mists. We only got to see a few of them, leaving other spirits of other Gods (along with their shrines) essentially there for dialogue and nothing else (buffs in the world maybe – but even if you had 1,000 gold on you you and your party could go from the Southern Shiverpeaks to the Underworld! – Which was AWESOME by the way).

I’d love to see that idea completed in Guild Wars 2 with not only the return of previous realms we visited in GW1, but the ones we didn’t get to visit – like the realm of Melandru and Dwayna, for example.

Now I’m not suggesting a copy paste of the mecahnics and quests of the original dungeons because while that system worked in GW1 I don’t think it’d work in GW2 (especially not with the 5 player limit (maybe FoW or UW can be the first 10 man’s introduced? Just a thought)). What I am suggesting is allowing us to revisit those awesome dungeons once more.

There is a TON of story for story modes for all of the realms – not even just Grenth and Balthazar. I’d love to see some awesome story and explorable modes for the dungeon that represents each God’s realm in the mists.

Gear can be modeled around the specific dungeons. For example, Fissure of Woe (2.0) can feature Chaos weapons and maybe the armor that the Skeletal soldiers wear (Or even Obsidian Armor – since there were skins for heavy, medium, and light in GW1) as dungeon rewards? Maybe with the new gifts bring back some classic skins like Obsidian Edge (New Legendary made with the Gift of Woe?) and the Dhuum’s Reaper (If Scythes make it back into the game – or heck even make it a staff skin for all I care)?

To summarize, I am suggesting the return of some of the classic dungeons from Guild Wars 1 with revamped storylines / explorable modes, gear modeled around those specific dungeon themes, and the long-awaited introduction of some other realms for the other Gods which we did not visit in Guild Wars 1.

Let me know what you guys think! Please keep it civil and constructive, thanks!

I would also like to see FoW and UW make a come back in Guild Wars 2. Also, not many people were able to see the Tomb of Primeval Kings, we might be able to revisit that one too, some day? I think it would be really cool to be able to go back and see how those realms have changed from time as well as see some new creatures that we can destroy!

Hi Mkalafut, u old GW1 pro

Fully support this.
There was a deep sense of adventure, wonder and history with some of GW1s dungeons that gave them an engrossing, personal and memorable quality that is somewhat lacking in GW2s dungeons.
The storymodes are very good, but they lack the depth of those in GW1.

A return of some of those dungeons would be fantastic.

Thank you for your feedback and I’m glad to see you think it’s a very good idea. I really was saddened when I learned that they weren’t going to delve into any more of the realms for the other Gods, but hopefully we’ll see a return in GW2! Please spread this thread to any of your friends who played GW1 who you still talk to, I’m trying to get the word out on this and make it popular so devs see it ^^

Ran this by a few of my GW1 buddies and current guild members who played Guild Wars 1 and even some who have not played Guild Wars 1. After showing them some videos of it and explaining the dungeons to them (and showing them Chaos Axes lol) they are all on board with this too.
