Guild Wars 2

The Pilgrimage is a series of Dynamic events that takes you through the world. It is a second storyline about your journey to gain a powerful Ascended weapon except it is not instanced at all. This allows players to meet together and journey together to the Ascended Weapon.

At first, There will be around 19 Ascended Weapons or however many ascended weapons Arena Net has models for it. Each Weapons have a story behind it and every Dynamic Event has a piece of it. There are no branching paths as it is not your story.

To start your pilgrimage, you talk to an NPC and you will be given a quest to journey through the Ascended Pilgrimage. You will go through 70-80 Dynamic Events and 3 separate jumping puzzles. In the end, you have to fight the boss who wields the Ascended weapon you want. Each pilgrimage is about the story of each heroes in the past 250 years who saved Tyria in their own way.

The journey is about how they started from being new to being the great hero of the world.

After you get the weapon, you will need to refine it. This allows you to get the stat combination you want on the Ascended weapon. You will get the ingredients from gathering. Each node has a special material to allow you to refine the ascended weapon. You can also sell it on the trading post.

After the first 19 Ascended Story that Anet created, when ArenaNet wants to add more, they can create 19 more weapons as well as +1 more story of each Ascended Pilgrimage. This way, Anet won’t have to create 19 more stories in order to make 19 more weapons.

You just had to throw in jumping puzzles. JP in my opinion are simply the most grotesque part of this game. They should be optional.

Jumping puzzles, on the otherhand, are well-designed and unused. It also adds in the skill required instead of how much you grind(Ascended Jewelry).

I disagree that jumping puzzles are a “grotesque” part of the game…they’re one of my favorite parts of the game. However, I do agree that they should be optional, not everyone enjoys them or is good at them.

As for the pilgrimage idea for the weapons, excellent idea, but I think it would be better used as a way to get legendaries (or maybe just the precursors).
