This isn't a bad idea.It would be nice to add in something that engages you more with other players you know...cause this is an mmo.

Another idea would be to give people an option to enter an instance of the map where it is possible so that people who don't want any form of pvp are still protected.

No i definitely think people will try and form large groups and kill everyone but I'm suggesting there are ways around it. Just off the top of my head I can think of maybe putting in a time limit until your character snaps out of it therefore preventing huge zergs from even forming. The idea behind it isn't necessarily to introduce pvp, but give some sort of dynamic and "unpredictable" nature to the story. The idea that anyone of your "comrades" could turn on you at any moment.

Well what i'm suggesting is nothing like WvW. I think there are a lot of ways you could tweak it but just as a general idea I think it would be great.

Like the title suggests, wouldn’t it be cool if you were able to “give in” to Jormag’s voice. For example, if you type /sleep in Bjora your character becomes a servant of Jormag and is an enemy to all other players. You could then fight other players on the map like some kind of open world pvp. Once you are defeated, you could get a debuff that prevents you from turning again for 24 hours so that people can’t continuously spam and troll events or players.I think this could really spice things up with the new content because you might get people banding together to fight off a group of “turned” players. I know it will have its down falls, but I think it would make the world so much more immersive. I had a similar idea for when HoT came out. I would have loved it if only Sylvari player characters who were playing the HoT campaign had the choice to “give in” to Mordremoth in a similar way. There’s probably better ways to implement it but I just can’t help wishing that this could happen.

Yeah but you can't see animations from attacks for the weapons and I find something to feel/look different than what the preview shows

Why isn't it realistic? I'm not a programmer or anything but it sounds pretty simple to implement. Or am I horribly wrong?

You might get that 0% chance drop item :p

Wouldn't it be cool if you could go into your home instance and all skins were unlocked for you to try on. You could then see how it looks when you run around. I know you can preview them but I think it would be more helpful if you can see exactly what it will look like while you play (animations included). Then when you leave your home instance, the skins you don't have become locked again. Thoughts?

With all the (many) recent posts about the disaster of build templates, I want to have a positive post about the upcoming Halloween event next week. So what event are you looking forward to the most? Personally I love the clock tower. There is just something about it that makes me love doing it over and over again.

Well i'm happy you shared. I like to see what other people enjoy in this game and why

My all time favourite is definitely the "Tarir, The Forgotten City" soundtrack in Auric Basin. It still gives me chills every time I hear it.

Well the best way to get ascended gear for me is doing the pvp league. By the time you finish all the chests, you have basically made almost 150 gold, you get plenty dyes, and you get 3 marks you can use to purchase a light, medium or heavy ascended armour. The added bonus is that the ascended armour acts as a precursor to legendary armour which is not too difficult or expensive to get in relation to the other legendaries. As you do league you can go for the league achievements which will ultimately allow you to get a legendary backpack, and if you dont want to spend your cash, you'll at least get an ascended backpack. AND you will also get rewards from whatever reward tracks you use (potential ascended rings drop from them, i've gotten like 5). The only downfall is...if you hate PvP. The ranking system is pretty broken when trying to matchmake so a lot of the time it is a lottery with your team. But anyway, that will keep you busy for a long time and make you rich quick.

Cause if you are dying, then I'm sure if you set up a LFG or yell in the map chat for someone to come help, it should be easy enough

Are you dying from it or is it that you can't find it?
