Guild Wars 2

Hello, let me first say the whole bonus chest things have really improved the gameplay experience for players. I try to go with a large zerg of people from 6 different guilds that I’m an ambassador in and do these. We can get about 20-30 players during the week and even more on the weekend. People have a blast with them. This is also a great way to get people to return to zones.

Also the scaling on the eye of zhaitain event in catacombs for the first two monster spawns is AMAZING. I have a blast for the first two champion spawns. They are not insanely hard, but still challenging. The zerg always loves fighting them. I REALLY HOPE that you guys give whoever designed how those two spawns scales a big hug, then use their tactics for scaling across all events.

4. Champion of the Sun

Note: This event is so much fun and you go all over the map to do it, really want more people to do it.

5. Bashing Bauxite Alchemicals

Note: I’ve been playing since release and I’ve only seen this area uncontested once. I strongly believe people need more incentive to complete it

6. Killing the Krait Witch

7. Help shining blade kimber defeat kol skullsmasher
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Help_Shining_Blade_Kimber_defeat_Kol_Skullsmasher
Note: I find this to be very fun for many players because of his fight mechanics. People actually kite him, and avoid him. They watch for his stomp and have a blast, but again no rewards

8. Defeat the corrupting ghost

Note: THis does need some scaling work. I really like this event because its a nice homage to gw1.

9. Battle in the Vault

10. Mini Dungeon Forsaken Halls
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Forsaken_Halls
Note: Whenever I run this event with first timers, they love it. They have a blast with it, just wish there was a point to doing it again. Heavily advise adding a bonus chest, it is an AWESOME mini dungeon

11. Mini Dungeon Vexa’s Lab
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vexa%27s_Lab
Note: Same as forsaken, people love it.

12. Defeat lord Ignius the Eternal
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_Lord_Ignius_the_Eternal
Note: This event is a chain that starts at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Collect_dwarven_artifacts_from_False_Lake_for_Innkeeper_Klement. It is a very and pretty challenging for players.

That is all the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Also, the Quaggan Pirate.

I forget the name of the quest, but there is a really involved quest in Lornar’s pass where you get dwarven items at the bottom of a lake and then researcher’ kitten the items up from a guy and there are some Bloodstone Shards involved. There is no chest for that one and I really think there should be.

The problem with the quaggan pirate is that there is a defense part, so you can only do it once and then you have to let it fail so that other people can get the bonus chest. I know the bloodstone shard on you’re talking about, ill post that one. I remember the final boss is pretty tough if you are successful in the entire event and don’t fail any parts.

I just added in some jumping puzzles. I choose the JPs based no how difficult they were to finish and how long they took to finish. I think that if they are difficult and take a considerable amount of time to complete, they should reward the players with a bonus chest to repay them for their hard work. These puzzles also have amazing looks and environments with them, I’d really love to see more people bother doing them.

There’s also the Lionguard assault in the Northern part of the Wayfarer foothills. It’s a fairly lengthy (for early game) chain of events with a Champ boss that will mop the floor with most teams of a smaller size. On completiion of the entire chain, however, you don’t get anything at all except the loot from the Champ. It doesn’t need a special daily bonus chest or anything, but it should by all rights have a normal chest spawn.

I don’t think any JP should have a bonus chest. They’d be too easy to farm, especially since they’re static and you can just leave a character there, wait for daily reset, and loot the chest without actually doing anything (at least for some of them… might be impossible for hidden garden and griffonnook since you need something special to open the chest).

Just make the bonus chest require something that’s far enough back in the JP that they’d have to do the JP to get it.

Further than the chest for the JP itself? O_o
Anyway … JPs already have their own chest rewards and the JP itself should be considered its own reward. Same with the mini dungeons.

The Champ Giant at Nageling in Diessa Plateau. He’s not remotely difficult, but his health pool is so obscenely large that the current benefit/time ratio is virtually nil.

Exept that it is the only virtually guarenteed way to get giant kills for the achievement.

The Blood Witch needs a chest. She wants to fight her because it is to much work for very little reward.

I hope that by “chest” you mean “guarenteed rare or exotic”.

The loot handout in this game is pathetic. There is no sense of accomplishment when you get nothing. RNG is bad, start handing out ecto’s like candy or something. There is no worry about the economy in the game as they could easily cap how much anyone could sell anything for on the TP thus controlling the economy in every aspect.

No, further back IN the JP that would mean you’d have to do the JP to get that chest.

Like for the Pirate JP in Lion’s arch, put something in the middle of the dark room.

Also Flame Temple Tombs (which also needs an achievement).

That one is in the OP. The end of that event chain is Defeat Lord Ignius the Infernal and has three events preceding it.

I recall it being a bit odd that it didn’t have a chest, after doing three events and fighting a champ, it was a bit… flat for an ending.

Flame temple tombs gives a bonus chest once you kill the final boss

I feel I should point out that Griffonrook Run has a bonus chest already. You have to get the bomb to the very end (past the first chest, it’s on the mountain ridge surrounding the JP) in under 3 minutes without being hit. It’s quite challenging and fun. I did it a few days ago with a few people and we had a blast. The chest rewards were fairly decent too.

Griffonrook Run asside…

YES BY ALL MEANS YES!!! Put some chests at the end of a lot more events… there are several events that get left ignored for long periods, and make leveling a nightmare until they are completed, because of lack of worthwhile rewards.

“Worthwhile rewards” meaning things guarenteed to give us ecto’s when ripped apart.
