Pls halp.

Personally, I’d hope the main implication is:

Evon wins: Evon is the new Captain’s Council member and that will influence what the Captain’s Council does in future LS installments.

Kiel wins: Kiel is the new Captain’s Council member and that will influence what the Captain’s Council does in future LS installments.

If they’re looking to test the waters on old mysteries versus new lore, it would be better to have a separate election based on that – maybe through the Pact, where it would make more sense for the PCs to have a say.

Interesting perspective: As in, where the Pact wants to take the fight next? That would be very cool…perhaps seek allies in other places in the world?

Clearly a vote for Evon will tell the developers whatever it is you personally think it will tell the developers.

So you should vote for Evon.

I’m curious what you think it will tell them. Thanks for the response though.

Hi all:

Based on the many thread/responses so far, it would appear (TO SOME) that Even’s promise of the “Fall of Abbadon” fractal is the most attractive to all.

I’m curious: Is it the lore behind this fractal attracting everyone? As a GW1 vet myself, I know I’m voting Evon.

That being said, if Evon does win…will this show Arena.net that many players are interested in substantial lore development? Do you think a vote for Evon is a vote for more lore content from GW1?

EDIT-
Saw in another post the fractal references events before GW1; however, with Abbadon being a GW1 villain, I believe this thread is still relevant.

Hi all:

While this idea is not by any means revolutionary or different, I think that it may provide a constructive way of generating real feedback over some of the great ideas generated on this forum.

THE IDEA:
Any forum post that receives a set number of comments will receive an official response from an Arena.net developer or small development team discussing the strengths, weakness, and possibilities of implementing the idea. If the idea is not possible, then the developer will tell the community why the idea is impractical or does not fit with developer goals.

PROS:
-This enables Arena.net to crowd-source some of the best ideas. Instead of waiting for paid staff to develop the “next big thing” either in terms of game growth or development, it allows the company to hear and filter through some of the best responses generated on this forum and from its users.
-It brings more users to the forums and this sub-forum specifically.
-It promotes long-term sustainability and growth of the game.
-Crowd-sourcing promotes the type of community involvement that Arena.net would benefit the most from.
-By setting the number of comments needed, Arena.net is able to filter some of the best ideas from others.
-By no means does this guarantee that these features will be added, instead it only promises a response from a team/person who can discuss why the idea will or will not work.

CONS:
-May promote petitions instead of “idea-generating” threads
-Some ideas may not fit into what the developing team actually wants
-Various issues with development, implementation of generated ideas, and developer response.
-Misalignment between the company and the customers/users.

IMPLEMENTATION:
-The user that creates the forum has the ability to edit it and add comments that receive the highest number of up-votes.
-With Arena.net discussing moving from the Living Story to more permanent content and with four teams working in different cycles, Arena.net could take one of those teams and dedicate it to monitoring this forum and investigating responses that meet the cut-off threshold.

SUMMARY:
Implementing this feature on the forum allows Arena.net to crowd-source some unique ideas from its users that it may not have thought of inside staff meetings. Crowd-sourcing is free to Arena.net and the oversight could be done by a small team.

Thanks for taking the time to read my idea and I look forward to hearing your responses on this issue.

+1 for this post, great idea.

Hello all:

Before I begin, I just want to note that I think this particular forum is one the the most professional and organized boards I have encountered. Its clear that nearly all the posts on this board convey true constructive feedback focused on creating an underlying epic experience. Many of the posters and players in GW2 come from GW1 (a game that is near and dear to my own heart).

So at this point, I just wanted to provide a space for those committed to this school of thought to provide any well articulated lists of effective and translatable tools the GW2 staff can use in the future. Understandably, it is impossible to create a game that caters to everyone’s particular preferences, but it seems apparent by a thread with over 20,000 views, that there are several problems (with certain characters) and voice overs.

I hope at this point everyone can agree that the story for GW2’s core game is written, paid for, and will not change.

What that does not mean however, is that the same mistakes have to be made in future additional characters and the inevitable expansions. For example, while I feel that Prophecies campaign was a great story, I found the characters in the later expansions to be some of my favorite (Shiro, for example).

Anyway, this is just the start of my list and I’ll come back with more posts that attempt to identify weaknesses and offer constructive solutions. Many of these solutions exist on this board in some thread already. I really believe that many of the posters have great ideas that are easy to add in future content.

Thanks for taking the time to read and I look forward to seeing everyone’s posts.

I’d love to get a meta group together for “Unfriendly Skies”.

Geared and experienced War here & I’d take an invite to help out as well

+1 for the great idea!
