Im new here so first of all Hello to everybody.
Ashford Abbey at the beggining of Prophecies has the underground labirint catacombs full of undead so my idea is that they should open the catacombs in Sardelac Sanitarium. It could be a lvl 20 area full of undead or something like that. I always found it fun to kill something that was already killed before

I think they could also connect Tyria and Elona with a portal in the Crystal Dessert and let people who find it get into Elona(they couldn't get far without wurms anyway but it whould be a good thig for us who can ride wurms)

I would like to see a Diary Feature implemented. Also, I would like some elite skills to be taught by trainers who ask you to do something extra then give out a skill point and 1plat. If possible once you unlock an elite make a special skill guru of each profession teach it to anyother characters you might have. I just hate traveling into Cantha to get my elite especially since I cant run through the continent.
I like really the idea of improving your current characters to greater heights. In fact, if you reach a certain level of proficiency or get a certain title you should be able to teach any of your Guild Members that particular skill without it costing any gold but costs the player being taught 1 skill point.
I know some of these ideas might seem crazy and impractical but I think they can be doable.
As far as plotlines go I really like going into the future on any continent and see how my current actions have shaped things out.
Also, this might be completely impossible to do but here it is anyways--->How about what I do know affects the complete continent on which I am for my particular character. I mean its silly for certain things to remain the same when you map back into a particular area after you have passed through. Its just plain silly.
As far Battle Arenas and stuff goes I think they are PvP suggestions and perhaps someone should take the initiative and creat a forum for that.
Well thats my 4bits.

Some of the suggestions are really awesome!!(hopefully Anet listens and not ignore their customers like they usually do!!)

I think that characters should be able to craft armor if they reach a certain skill with it. Why not make your own armor. Why buy it. The crafter cant be better than me. And why not
be able to teach each other skills. That whould be AWSOME!!!

Heh i've been driven in to an urge to create more expansions, so here's my second. It has links to Prophecies, SPOILERS AHEAD.

Expansion near Barbarous Shore: Corsair Ruins & Harpy Highlands.

Brief History:
This Area, formally known as the Dunajar Inlet, is the remains of once pristine Corsair Haven, Corsairs flocked from every corner of Tyria to fence their good here. But, none know of how the kingdom fell apart, that is except the Corsairs themselves.

Your Involvement:
To Access this area you must have defeated Nightfall and have Magrid or MoW in your team.
Both quests are recieved if you charcter arrives in Camp Honaju after defeating Abaddon. The appropriate NPC (Magrid or MoW) will be there with the Quest Avaliable icon.
If you have Magrid;
You will recieve a quest entitled: Not even a Corsair would Dare!
In this quest you must, with the assistance of Magrid, find a Corsair by the name of Daring Theon, he is one of very few Corsairs brave enough to enter the fallen Kingdom. He thus leads you in to the Mandragor Ravines, where his untimely death leaves you stranded. Make your way under Magrid's rough knowledge to the Ruins of Dunajar Camp.
If you have MoW;
You will recieve a quest entitled: Hunting the Horror
In this quest, you, your team, and MoW must head out and find the "Seeker of Demons." He will lead you in to the Mandragor Ravines to find a Necromancer Mandragor, Unnus the Nightfallen. He appears to be a Stoneflesh Mandragor, but is more like an Imp.
Upon his death you will be attacked by a horde of Mandragor and a Harbinger of Corruption, this is insanely difficult, you must flee or die. You find yourself taking shlter in the Ruins of Dunajar Camp.

1. As heroes saving the world, we have very little time to learn the fine art of craftsmanship and armoury.
2. Because then people would reject the Skill Trainer system and simply trade skills, Skill Hunter titles would become redundant.

I think the rebuilding ascalon should be a map... separate from others you can take your current characters there with a quest.. it'll start of just looking like what ascalon looks like now except with different NPCs in different places,, hundreds of quests and protect ascalon from hordes of charr while the NPCs repair it, maybe do all the quests without letting all the charr kill the rebuilding NPCs...

quests could be like fetching an item from someone that has it and killing a certain charr that has what you need and has taken from the site. All charr will be level 24 except the bosses.

Just my idea anyway.

Doomslay · Dec 20, 2006, 12:58 AM // 00:58

I have but one thing to say evolution of the exisiting lands is preferable over an ever extending number of lands just think how hard it is going to be to get a group together if you have 10,12,14 ..... different lands that people have to choose between already going back to Tyria at times is a sad thing, streets empty of people dust blowing in the background. if new expansions could be integrated into exsisting locals thus cutting down on sprawl.... I dont know just rambeling.

zamial · Dec 20, 2006, 10:23 PM // 22:23

i have been kicking around this idea for quite some time.but this is an idea,not a concrete suggestion....

i would like to see a charecter specialization.this could involve quests and be linked to a title.you would 1st need to be ascended and level 20 with all of your attribute points earned(including the bonus 30).while your region has favor of the gods, you would need to talk to an avatar of the gods at a shrine that is related to your primary class,then accept 1 of the 4 quests offered.these quests are directly related to your primary class skills and can be abandoned at any point BEFORE completion.after accepting the quest a title apears in your titles menu,that will track your progress.when the quest is completed you would need to talk to that avatar to recive the reward which should be:a title that when worn will boost 1 of your primary class attributes by 1.(like a rune,that stacks) and will also give a MINOR effect to those skills.YOU CAN ONLY DO 1 QUEST PER CHARECTER,ONCE IT IS DONE ALL REMAINING QUESTS WILL BE UNAVAILABLE,FROM THAT AVATAR.
The end result is that your charecter is slightly better/skilled in a specific area.

the reason that i am thinking of linking it to a title is because titles take a long time to earn,as should this.

examples of my ideas for the quest/title benifits as follows:

NECROMANCER:
* Blood magic +1,when ever you sac or steal life you gain 5 energy
(title will read "Lich")
* Death magic +1,minnions no longer suffer from degeneration
(title will read "Reanimator")
* Curses magic +1,all hexs cast by you last 20% longer
(title will read "Voice of corruption")
* Soul reaping +1,when ever your soul reaping is triggered you gain that in life
(title will read "Harvester of souls")

Monk
* Divine favor +1,monk spells cost 5 less energy to cast
(title will read "Preist")
* Healing prayers +1,whenever you heal,you are healed for that much
(title will read "Faith healer"
* Protection prayers +1,while maintaing an enchantment you gain +1 energy regeneration
(title will read "Shepard")
* Smiting prayers +1,your attacks and spells have 20% armor penetration
(title will read "Inquisitor")

*these are examples*

for the sake of clarification i will use a necromancer.you can only earn 1 title per char.and lets take the "animator" title you may need to animate 1000000 minnions to earn it.these titles will only start the count after the quest is started and not be retroactive.and should take a long time to earn....

before this is dismissed as "too powerful" i want to say that the boosts are suggestions perhaps no minnion degen is to powerful, so then say up my max minnion cap to 15 from 10.i am not a dev and these need to be tested before the implementation.

i guess i want to be better at a specific roll than the "normal person",specialized in what i do.not to mention this is a great reason to buy extra charecter slots as you can take every class out there and x4 to that number to have 1 char that is specialized in every area....

Aegeroth · Dec 22, 2006, 01:46 PM // 13:46

kick ass idea!
it sounds really good

TaCktiX · Dec 29, 2006, 03:22 AM // 03:22

This isn't exactly an Expansion/Evolution idea, but I wasn't sure where else to put it. In the spirit of the recent Party Search and Reconnection idea, adding a Travel dialog box would speed things up for people who have multiple campaigns. Essentially it would have three drop-downs: Continent, Region, and Location (outpost, town, or mission) and allow you to map travel to a different continent without having to go to the "port cities" of Lion's Arch, Kamadan, and Kaineng Center first. It would streamline things significantly for people who like going to different continents and the like quickly.

P A L P H R A M O N D · Dec 29, 2006, 05:49 AM // 05:49

I have always been really intrigued with going north of Acalon, seeing those tar pits and wondering where my first enemies (those blasted Charr) came from. I would love to see changes and new excitement in Ascalon, and more stuff added to that area of the map. Perhaps a rebuilding theme, exploration, or chasing the remnants of the Charr fiends? Or some sort of connection between Tyria and Elona (NF), spurring exploration south of Ranik.

/signed for evolution!

Expanding and evolving a game is a huge project.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with this concept for one big reason :

That's just it - its too big. Too big to be an update, and too big to be an expansion. This is a whole nother game we're talking about. GW2 has already been listed as planning to have dynamic environments that respond, react, and change over time depending on what's going on. So wouldn't that, in the very least, answer and suppliment this concept? If so, all I can say... is wait. Wait for GW2 to come out.
