Curse

Everyone knows ToA is always popular and busy because people want to get that Fissure Armor.

But what I'm suggesting is that Mission Areas and Quests be given out by other Gods, and in some cases, only from specific locations.

I'll give you a great example for this. Lyssa's Cave. Anyone who's played extensively and mapped out the Southern Shiverpeaks knows this cave. A statue of Lyssa in the middle of an ice cave surrouned by two pulsing beacons. Its in the Northeast corner of Mineral Springs. Even with a good group, you have to fight through waves of Level 24 Avicara. And hordes of Avicara Fierce, who seem to pack up in groups of 8 and spam Ignite Arrows.

And finally, upon fighting through all these groups, and the Ice Imps that inhabit the cave, you get to Lyssa's statue, and expecting some grand reward, find that its simply another statue. And you could have gotten just as much out of this one, as you could from the ones in Ascalon, which are alot easier to find and get to.

One would think that statues that are as well protected as this one would hold some grand secret. The same can be said for the Grenth Statue in Snake's Dance. Even though this Statue will give you access to the Underworld, why would you bother with the challenege of getting to it when you could just as easily go to the Temple of Ages, which is also much easier to get to.

I suggest that hidden statues like this, which are heavily guarded, be given high rewarding quests or missions. Or even access to other areas.

This would be, in my opinion, another way to make PVE more enjoyable. Also, giving greater rewards to those whose class is aligned with the God in question would give people reason to be more inclined to try different classes.

Since some Gods dont have statues in places like this, it would be neccisary to erect some new ones in heavily guarded areas. Like a Melandru staute being placed in The Falls in Maguuma.

This would also be a way of making Ascention even more potent, as these quests could only be accessed by Ascended people.

I always wondered why Balthazar had a temple so deep in Maguuma and the only person there is a leggings collector only to be guarded by a wall of trolls. Silly collectors....how did they get so deep without getting eaten up by baddies...>.>

Love it.

However I know that there will be at least one more bonus area to go to soon from another shrine in ToA. ;P

PS. remember the "baddies" are a recent perdiciment.

Those used to be peaceful areas.

lol actually. if you were there for some of the beta weekend there was NOTHING in some of those places. lol Heck One of my guild mates, and I got all the way down The Falls one beta weekend and Nothing at all was there. lol that was really interesting... We beat the creatures advancing across the land.

this would give the pve portion of the game more options to do in the storyline and expand the pve expierence

I think these were placed as places that they can "update" the pve with... giving us more of that "free" level/quest stuff... Maybe i'm wrong? But, I see that they have more important things to work on at the moment, so i wouldn't stress this that much.

I've always wondered why there was a Lyssa, Melandru and Dwayna statue in ToA which ask you who the offering is for, but you can never pay them anything. Maybe something in chapter 2?

I love the gods of GW, and all of them having a purpose (other than UW/FoW related) would be great.

During one of the frog talks this was suggested and looked upon highly.

Concepts such as a Melandru's Jungle (comparable to the UW/FoW) were exchanged.

I fear, how much more painful than the Chaos Plains would a Lyssa UW be?

Reasons are obvious. I found the same Lyssa statue and got 60% DP doing it. That was great. I got to see glowy stuff and finish off my southern shiverpeak maps. *sarcasm*omg!!! totally worth the dp and hours of getting there!!!*sarcasm*
