seems pretty cool. would like the boss cap areas as well. Also maybe a new armorer that builds all max armor (non elite) so you can get the armor of choice no matter the game. Factions necro armor was ugly, I got a droks run so i had something that looked cool.

I think that it should require characters to own at least two 'campaigns' (Including GW:EN).
I.E.: Prophecies+GW:EN, Factions+Nightfall, Prophecies+Nightfall, etc...

sound like a good idea. but we already have it, Temple of Balthazar, I think everyone can go there regardless of what chapters you have, right? So the only thing now is how to make that place as per your suggestion, I think a little decoration during festive seasons and some npcs will do the trick.

while we are doing this, my personal wish for this special island, A personal store, where you can put your "stuffs" for sale and then log out. other players can buys off your store like they would from npc merchant.

/signed in support of a good idea that does not involve nerfing the game.

I'd love it! All 3 main trading areas for the campaigns are always filled with spam feasts (when you join NF, you go to Kamadan, Prophecies goes to LA, Factions goes to KC), anyways.. would make a lot less waiting time for loading the stupid areas.

Although, I don't think Anet employees would be able to chat with players, since people would be like "OMG ANET EMPLOYEE TALK TO ME OMG!" and spam it.

Although, /signed.

Very great idea.

I like it /signed,

Central Market! Put a list of the currency (price of variable-value items such as ectos, shards, black dye) in the main trading town.

Right now it is not very pleasant, since a bunch of ppl go to kamadan, some stays in LA, EotN... scattered.

Hm... really suspicious...

Why to add a place that you can only see once, nothing happens there, ans it's huge...

I still remember the doors and the overlooks...
I thought that was just going to Zaishen's Challenge...

Though for the Great Temple of BALTHAZAR, actually having no access points to get into FOW is just plain wrong.

You could also party with someone from any chapter from this island, if it had access to UW and FoW. Granted those are the only two areas where this is true, but that could also potentially be a boon.

Questions:
Does everyone have have Prophecies? Does everyone have Factions? Does everyone have Nightfall? Does everyone have Eye of the North?

Name me a single common location that anyone from any chapter can meet to go to the UW or FOW

Answer:
No. Thats why the idea is availability for ALL chapters.

There is no such location where players from Factions and Prophecies can meet to do CORE content.


If you are gonna call the idea pointless, come up with a real argument.

I love the idea of being able to hang out with anybody from anywhere. There should definitely be different towns based on what you want to do.

One place for casual chat. Increase party sizes to about forty or fifty or something so that you can invite people in a party to have large groups hang out in a corner and turn All chat off to not be bothered by other players.

An additional room could be made for people who have achieved some # of titles, but I don't think that would be necessary with my first idea.

Marketplace can also handle guild invitations, I think. Anything that can be crafted should also go here.

Holiday event town and ANet staff meeting town are a must. The staff meeting town should be something that's closed until a staff member opens it up.

I see no need for the extra explorable areas or quests, and I especially don't want it to be a place to find all of your Core Elite skills, unless it's restricted to people who've beat one of the campaigns, and I think that might be a little too restricting.

I don't want them to be small towns either. Not just the size of Kamadan, or LA, or anything like that. These places need to be BIG. Like, first-floor-of-Sepulchre-of-Dragrimmar big. Some of the "town" sizes are absolutely puny.

I'm not sure whether the PvP players should be or could be involved in this, but I bet they'd whine if it was PvE exclusive.

Overall, /signed. This needs done.

I absolutely hate waiting to get into an FoW group and this would alleviate that alot. Also, it would eliminate the need to jump from LA to Kaineng to Kamadan trying to find someone selling what I need.

Shayne: PvP players have a central location to meet. Its called The Great Temple of Balthazar.

Why do you want to replace LA/Droks? those are still the 2 best hang-out spots in the game, droks has gone downhill recently though

We need a trading place for ALL campaigns. I really hate switching from LA to Kamadan when I'm trying to sell (I dont even bother with Kaneng Center).

Maybe like an organized trading place too or the auction house. So if you want to sell ectos, you can easily hook up with everyone else selling or buying them (no more of WTB Ectos 4.4k.... then 20 min later the same guy goes, WTS Ectos 4.6k)

I remember this idea being mentioned before too, but I'm glad its been brought up again.

Love the idea, but I don't think Anet will implement it, because most of these features will already be implemented in GW 2.

Still, good thinking. ^^

I would like it to impliment highly on the gathering spot to selling items, rather than clicking to warp to Kamadan, to get my chat box spammed the frick out of it, and going "Oh crap, my trade button is on!" Only, to realize, it's too late. So many trade offerings have been said, that the whisper I got is now gone, lost in time.

Also, to the idea with core boss caps, that should stay with the chapters. I think to access the PvE place, you simply just have to get out of 'noob island.'

Leave pre-searing, get off Shing Jea, get off Istan. That sort of thing. Due to Istan being the longest to get off, perhaps they can get it earlier than some.

The island could have different sections such as "Party" and "Trade" you could walk to without encounters. Oh, and a "Guilds" district!!

a nice town where you can hang out and chill sounds rly nice
make it have a nice beach since it's an island
so i can get a tan with my ele there lol
core skills are available in all campaigns though and skill traders in GH's give that too
but the normal merchants there should be nice
and a big auction house for our stuff! yea!

It'll be freaky crowded, all the merchants would be there. Of course, if there is an auction house/market, then the impact would be less.

I'd vote for it to lessen the load on the port cities. The BMP guys can all be put here instead of in the cities.

A gathering place to LFG for HM or even NM would be great. Especially since many outposts may be empty. Although the length of the LFG list would be staggering.

I think it should be styled as The Mists or a realm of one of the gods.

Realm of Melandru would be an eternal spring forest or meadow. That'll be a great place to hang out.

Realm of Lyssa may be a great circus and carnival. Also cool.

Realm of Dwayna is...uh...what does Dwayna do again?

It'll just be like a Guild Hall on steriods for everyone.

An awesome idea on all accounts.

(But as to that concept image from the first page, remember that if bosses are core caps only, that screws over Assassin, Ritualist, Dervish, and Paragon, who would have 0 caps there, so maybe core for the core classes, and Factions elites for the A and Rt, and Nightfall elites for the D and P.)

Awesome great and superobvious idea.

It could be just an expansion to the Great Temple of Balthazar - rebuild it, make it bigger and add the extra features like statues of gods for FoW/UW entrance. It's a central PvP zone right now but still doesn't get much use except being a Zaishen Key marketplace and a center for PvP guild recruitment (50/50 with HA on this).
It even has the ever important for PvE players Profession Changer NPC right now! And Canthan Ambassador for Guild Hall purchasing. I'd say it's a good start, just expand it.
As a PvP and PvE player I would like it as one common spot, not separate islands. PvP players need quick easy access to the marketplace aswell, and having some PvP tournament trophies and a Priest of Balthazar in the common outpost wouldn't hurt the PvE'rs.

A centralized marketplace might need a separate outpost (if it's done the Xunlai Marketplace way), but this should be enough for everything else. The marketplace could be just an outpost next to it if it's features require a separate zone.

add:

*A centralized place to LFG for Hard Mode missions and vanquishing

(this is what is totally missing from GW right now)
