Guild Wars 2

Hello peeps,
Let’s make it quick: I wanted to make a list of ideas on how to fix the participation rewarding for escorting dolyaks. I want you players to add and discuss your ideas for this thread to become very constructive for the devs

Remember to ask yourself “when must the event trigger for a player?”: The rewarding must trigger reliably but should not be exploitable (read: the player has to do something actively in order to receive the reward). Participation intensity should but isn’t required to be scalable according to the effort of each player (gold, silver bronze medals).

Here we go:

• Add weak NPC’s (Skrit) that attack dolyaks randomly. Killing them AND guiding the dolyak to the end would grant you participation. event fails on dolyak death.

• Add a way to increase speed of dolyaks through environmental stuff. Like haystacks in a supply camp or in a tower/fort that you can pick up, and use at determined positions along the path of the dolyak, so that the dolyak got healed and gets motivated to walk a bit quicker. Using more haystacks on the determined positions will increase participation. If the dolyak fails to arrive sefely, the event fails.

• Add quick rewards: Example: Kill an enemy player near a living dolyak and it will grant you participation on a “saved the dolyak!” event. it would fail if the dolyak got killed. it would start when it got attacked. to prevent it to be farmable during night by two friends of different servers i’d suggest to make the event “once per dolyak”, if this is possible.

Give + supply you can carry when finish, bronse +1 silver +3 gold +5 for 30min. (can only have 1 buff so íf you help 2 dolys in you get the better if both silver you get +3)
