I used search, and although I found some suggestions for new elite areas(more realm of the gods), they are not the ones that I propose though.

An idea that I had, to help add something to do other then title grinding and new characters *at least for the people who have played GW for a while* was the addition of another elite area.

There are two things that are hardly touched on that I think can be turned into Elite areas, or just hard simply hard areas.

The Elite Area that I'm thinking would be best would be the Wizard's Tower in Kessex Peak. It is currently unaccessible and the only thing we know about it is that "Galrath" and "Verata" both are/were trying to get some power that is locked inside the Castle. So what if the Elite Mission was to go inside the tower, work our way through enemies to the top, and find/lock away the power or kill someone who is also trying to get that power? It can work like a dungeon as well, except that instead of going "down" you will be going "up." To get access, add a NPC that takes you inside, maybe after killing Verata in Kessex Peak.

I think making this really hard would be best, and a good thing for the mission *through Alex the Great and Tyla's suggestions* would be to have e-denial and areas where you cannot knockdown enemies. For the e-denial, it can be set up so that the enemies auto-target Blessing users with the e-denial skills, or have it so that Monks have a less priority then others. I think the auto-targeting Blessing users would be best way to set up enemy AI with e-denial because then people would be wanting tons of warriors and paragons who use Adrenalin skills and would not want nearly any caster.

With those ideas, the elite area would be the "hardest" *not really, but claimed to be because of no Ursan*. Also, using the Wizard's Tower might be able to fill in some gaps for the lore-lovers as well.

A reward that can be added could be new (not overpowered) skills, preferably PvE-only so that you have to do the elite area to get the skill. Or a new type of elite weapon set/armor would be a good reward too. The rewards I have not thought out fully yet, and of course, suggestions are welcomed.

A suggested system for the rewards for Wizard's Tower is to have a duplicate system of the Armbrace system. An outpost in the tower where you can turn in an item that is hard to get for a weapon and/or armor. Depending on the reason for making Wizard's Tower an elite, the weapons can be from "Wizard's" to an "<enemy/army's name>'s."

Comments, suggestions, agreements and disagreements*with why you disagree* are all welcomed. (Unconstructive) Flames and Trolls, are not.

I like the Wizard's Tower one, but isn't Orr under the sea?

Konig Des Todes · Jun 03, 2008, 08:00 PM // 20:00

Syco, not all of orr is, it was a peninsula and is now a series of islands. It is simple to have "Boats" to connect the islands, like with how we get from Perdition rock to the Ring of Fire mission. "Boats" can be used the same way as the Reapers in the UW, talk to a NPC *a ghost* and the party "teleports" to another island.

It would be nice, but how ANet are going with PvE probably oppresses the idea.

And yes I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about.

matsif · Jun 03, 2008, 08:34 PM // 20:34

I don't think Orr is worthwhile, unless by some unknown power Arah was suddenly raised to the surface and there was a scroll to get there.

I like the wizard's tower though. it is readily accessible, has some previous use in quests, and has some sort of power. I'd say make new weapons for it (Wizard's or something) with a system like DoA, with an armbrace-like item and make the tower an outpost as well once you unlock it where you can trade the item to get a clean max req 9 gold weapon.

Axel Zinfandel · Jun 03, 2008, 08:51 PM // 20:51

It would be nice, especially if they made it genuinely, backbreakingly hard.

But I doubt we'll see any big content until after GW2 comes out, and even then it is iffy.

Taisayacho · Jun 03, 2008, 08:57 PM // 20:57

I always did wonder about the Wizard's Tower. Too bad I knew we won't get anything.

It would have to be really spammable edenial then. Walk into mob, get edenialed, switch to another set, Ursan up. And then again, if it's too spammable Monks, even with GoLE might not be able to keep up.

newbie_of_doom · Jun 03, 2008, 10:17 PM // 22:17

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe you could add multiple sections as in DoA too.

Anet seems to need the money too, the servers are shit atm.

but like others are saying probably wont get much for gw1 till after gw2 comes out, even then... even if it was something like another Urgoz's Warren or The Deep that'd be cool. another DoA rewards system would be cool too but doubt they'll want to put that much work into it.

really great idea about Wizard's Tower konig des todes, im also waiting till a new elite area ''comes'' out, would be nice if the new area that will come is your idea

MrGuildBoi · Aug 28, 2009, 09:52 PM // 21:52

Souds interesting, something new where a build wont be invented immediately to clear it in 30 minutes like some other elite areas.

Fresh content, but then again, its GW2 GW2 GW2. Chances of this coming out are slim IMHO.
/signed nevertheless.
