I loved when LA was destroyed. I wish there was a looming sense of doom throughout Tyria. Things feel a tad too peaceful!

I wouldn't mind some destruction either, just to get more the feel of danger that pretty much lacks...

Not I, hated when they ruined old world in WoW with cataclysm. I don't like when the world is changed permanently , but temporary is ok, though it seems like a ton of dev work for no great payoff. I mean years later the world is still trashed by deathwing , just makes no sense and the devs have to fix it back or redesign it all over again. or in WoW's case just leave it there forever and just say screw it the world is ruined now, enjoy :) kek.

Burn the whole quuensdale map for OP plz,anet

Many many years ago I suggested flooding Queensdale.

I still think that would be a cool concept lol

Major destruction that was promised at the beginning of the game? Yes that would be awesome.

Do they have any kind of manpower to even update vanilla maps? Absolutely not.

Have you not seen the new trailer?

Agreed. I hated that expansion.

Frankly, i'd rather have old LA back. I don;t like the new one, it's too sterile. Looks like a tourist city, not a pirate haven.

Well, they have semihourly tourist tours so...

More... destruction... YES!

BLOW

ARCH!

I'm surprised Balthazar didn't blow up more, to be honest.All talk, no explosions!

I'd like a prerelease beta of core tyria... Vanilla server of GW2 ftw!

Either that or buff core tyria mobs and reduce level 80 downscaling strength.

Make core tyria great again!!!

...again, for the fourth time.

Honestly? I was hoping Anet would do more with Grothmar Valley after the hype. But I guess it's now abandoned content locked in time.

I wish they would do this with primordus and use it as a way to rebuild the starter zones so they don't look so dated.

This.I could get behind the idea of some sort of destructive cataclysm, but don't have much confidence that I would like the rebuild.

No, people will get nostalgic for “old” destroyed zone and no one will be happy.

No worries, rata sum will be blown up with primordius, or maybe it's the pale tree that will burn? Who knows. "War flashbacks -seeing the horrible lobster arch"Be careful asura, don't let bookahs works in your city as re-builders.

Nah, I'm confident into the golemics divisions and the valiants to strike back.

2030: all racial cities are now sea land amusement parks.

-Primordy, you arrive in gandarran, you aren't far from the real target, it's a city... with.. uhhh. A giant stingray. A lobster. A sea star, a squid and giant jellyfish structure. I know you hate everything related to water, here is a hint.Please, I still worship you!

But as I read above, I would like primordy to scar the maps, and make big volcanic faults. Not just little erupting nodules. And pushing a small redesigning of the map: new bridges and outposts featering the new assets developped those two last year. We got ton of new asuran assets with ls4 as example.

Any time they blow up old stuff, the result is a discrepancy between the actual state of the world and the content in the original story new players get from 1-80. It made some parts of that story rather confusing. So, doing that again will likely mean alienating new players more.

Not to mention that when they do blow up stuff, they move on from that zone and it never gets fixed. Basically the entire world would eventually end up being a mess eventually, with nobody ever fixing anything. Because that wouldn't be actual content.

I'm up for cities being destroyed, etc. to make our enemies feel more threatening.

But only in instances please, the devs already made a mess of some Core maps and between LS1 and the Current Events/Side Stories occasionally being added, the zone timelines have become all tangled up as well.

But this time it will be different, in the stream they said it's new replayable missions, so players will still experience the peaceful metrica province, brisban wildlands and gandarran field; and the destroyer apocalypse version in story instances. One thing difer: assets used.
