Each Faction can summon their own powerful Hydra monster to attack enemy keeps

[Knighthonor.4061]

Seem like a cool idea and throwback to the powerful elite champions in old AV that can be summoned to march on enemy base.

Was thinking that playing help with a map wide collection event that the players collect some kind of wvw specific resource that is only available in enemy parts of the map. The resources have to be taken back to your faction's starter area "where the portals are, not the pve starter area". You then turn it into a NPC Wizard that will conjure the Hydra which players can vote which enemy faction keep to attack.

More PvE? Nah

When HoT released there was a similar mechanic in the center of the desert BL map. The exalted cannon would take down all paper gates on the map and do significant damage to upgraded gates. It was removed due to some weird lag the event to use it would cause on the map.

And we already had commander Siegecrusher and Siegerazer but Anet deleted them. So basicly, Anet has done everything to not do this.

if its merely an hp sponge and only available every once and a while, idc.

editactually if it had good uptime, it would be a good mechanic for separating the rallybots from the zerg since they would no doubt stop to auto attack it.
