Guild Wars 2

Seems only fair no?….

I mean why would I leave a legendary just lying around on the ground?

oh lets just ban thieves while where at it so people can have a pre warning before they get insta gibbed. and stop doing wvw.
not counting the hackers anet just ignores.

It would be nice if you kill someone with a legendary, you get a higher chance of a precursor drop. But all of their gear would be silly.

How about a PvP version of this. Something like a wager. I bet people would get crazy if this will happen in WvW.

Heh, all I keep thinking is history repeats itself. You would have loved UO. That’s exactly what happened. You died and everything from your armor and weapons down to your runes and potions lay on the ground to be rummaged threw.

Edit: Oh yea, and in the original Diablo as well, plus 1/2 of all your gold.

No one would WvW with any type of good gear if that was the case. Not a good idea as it would just make the game lame.

and lol @dagraan. Insta gibbed? If any class is insta gibbing you, you need a new spec. Even the strongest 1 shot skill in the game, kill shot, shouldn’t be able to insta gib you.

Yup, that’s what happened in UO, everyone basically used crafted gear (much easier to acquire than in any other mmo I’ve played) and crafted weapons. Left everything else in your house, keep, castle, or bank.

I forsee many nudest guilds.

Then ANET would sell different designs of bathing suits at the Gem store for the nude guilds.

Lol, so many people taking this serious. OP did a good job trolling

Sadly games with full loot don’t last cus people these days just cant handle it. Darkfall Unholy Wars about the only decent full loot game out. Darkfall online was much better imo but they took to long to fix it and everybody had left. So they closed the servers and made a more carebear version of the game called Darkfall Unholy Wars. Its still full loot like uo and you can siege peoples player cities from them like shadowbane. You tube it if never heard of it like most havn’t.

why not put a zone above the borderlands and call it the WilderMists?

then Anet will sell a “no item drop” consumables at TP……

Why not when your character die you perma die? Make sense, no?

I would love this “hardcore” mode. I remember seeing this in Diablo II (and maybe others). It’ll be a separate area from the other “softcore” players with WvW segregation and everything.

I bet it would completely change the face of WvW – make it more like real war in fact!

Can we please please have this?

I think it would be a good feature if Anet implemented a wardrobe system so you don’t lose the skins.

Wager matches would be pretty cool but anet would never add something like that.

Let us have a sheet where you track every player you have killed and those that have killed you. Like dog tags in bf3.

What if I’m solo roaming and a zerg runs over me? Everyone gets my human t3 cultural chest piece? (By far my most expensive piece of gear) Everyone would be duping legendaries in WvW.

Maybe it can go to one random person who killed you…

Do you seriously not see the problem with this idea? People would run in large zergs even more than now and they’d farm solo players in a hope of getting a legendary. And what if I fall off a cliff? Does the terrain get my awesome zenith dagger? I’m sorry but I don’t want to drop my hard earned gear to a lvl20 zergling who pressed 1 twice while near me.
I’m all in for high stake arenas where you pay x amount of gold / hour to stay on the map. And you drop all the money you paid when you get killed and when you leave you pick up the money you originally paid + money of players you killed.
Or it could be like a bounty system where each death costs x gold and the more people you killed the more gold you drop.

Excellent idea, but this is old school. Large studios will never go this route because it is niche. Most players just want to chase carrots on a stick and are completely happy doing this until the next new game comes out. Simply a regurgitation of the single player console models, and is the only model that sells.

Sure seems fine i could use some extra gear

Like this… no penalty to anyone. Just more of a chance to acquire. /sigh

1 kill shot isn’t the strongest 1 shot skill in the game it is just easily able to hit you in the middle of a zerg.
a thieves backstab is, not to mention 2 to 3 thieves will insta down anybody and everybody, and get away with all your kitten scot free.
you should leave that blob and run on your own for a little while and tell me if those group of roaming thieves isn’t a problem and some random killshot warrior is.
but since im talking to a zergling######## the only teamwork you know of is stack, spam 1, and build this.

In LFG:

“I have Twilight, come kill me in WvW, 3G per kill”

hmm…legendaries might be worth making then.

nice troll topic but the idea of gain a better chance to loot what the player wear is a good idea

Everquest.
No maps, no light source when you started (some races couldn’t see kitten in caves), loot a piece of equipment and all the gold from the corpse of a player, having to run butt naked to your corpse to get your equipment back, 4 different factions that could talk to each others and play with each others (and kill each others)…that game had it all, real hardcore at its best.
kitten i miss this game. I just wish they’d redo it exactly the same with better graphics.

Keiel.7489:

I like this. But I’d love to have it the highlander way, when you kill them (decapitation), you gain some permanent skill points (or even unlock more trait skills). The goal is to end up as the only 1.

king of the hill is a perfect spvp idea but dumb for wvw

bhagwad.4281:

I mean why would I leave a legendary just lying around on the ground?

Simple explanation. The gears are soulbound. So when you try to lift the Legendary off the ground, you can’t move it. It’s like in the Thor movie where all those people fail to pull Thor’s hammer off the ground. Also remember how Thor suddenly get all his armor back when he was killed by the giant robot? It works just like that in Guild Wars. Our armors magically flies back to us.

Of course there is nothing stopping you from robbing them of their gold. Smart players will leave their money in the bank.

Hmm first time the idea seemed nice, but…
well i tried hard to get my gear, i am not ready jet, (only exotic and i still need some expensive items…)
so nearly every body can kill me, and pick the nice/good pieces from my gear. I won’t be able to finish my gear in pvp couse when ever i get a new item there will be a guy who just take this one away from me…

If you were looking for the most efficient means possible to drop participation in WvW by say 90%, this would be it.

Not only do most people not want to risk items they’ve put in a lot of time and effort (and maybe money) to get, but that mechanism encourages the absolute worst behavior in online gamers. I would never set foot in WvW again if they did this.

At least the queue times would go down…

Kill Someone get all their Gear?

If they did this, everyone would just wear green gear at best.

Except for those that did not realise/know and they would rage on those forum, bombard Anets customer service about getting there gear back…

Basically, this is a non-topic…never going to happen…

All these threads are like “I’m so incredibly awesome and want to take someone’s legendary with my incredibly awesome PvP skills”.

Well, I’m not awesome and apparently unlike anyone posting here, I die a lot. So I just want to say that I don’t play PvP so that I have to go out and PvE for equipment every time I die.

‘Cause that’s what worryin about drops is. Fiddlin with inventories, counting coins, dreamin about how you can +1 all your stats, it’s not killin or testin.
