Guild Wars 2

Change the orb from a physical item in the world into a boon on a player that is only removed on death, whoever deals the killing blow gains the boon.

Now to spice things up a bit, have the boon change the player into a super tall avatar of one of the gods.. (randomly determined when first taking the boon) with funky abilities to match, this way they are easy to spot in combat (also give ’em an icon on the map just like the normal orb)

When a player returns to a keep they transfer the boon onto the keep lord by speaking to him (performing a ritual I guess).. the keep lord takes on the form of said god and bestows the borderlands with a buff specific to that god (nothing as OP as the current orb! but unique to the god would be cool)

This way the keep lord must be killed (counters hacking) to steal the boon, which is going require a (shock horror) team effort :P

I’m sure Anet could flesh it out more then I have here, any thoughts?
