As the tittle indicated..it would be cool if you could talk to a NPC.and u can use money to hire some NPC to help build certain Cannon/arrow tower to help strengthen the Town which u just saved....maybe.just some areas are able to build the towers.and then u are able to look for materials to upgrade the towers....just like those tower defence games.......i think it would make "defence the town" more fun!..becuz that would add to another choice what would the players wanna do today...

I've always wanted this, but we would most likely see this game play in GW2.

Slight trouble understanding your English,
in anyway Zodiac is right, we won't see this kind of 'events' until earliest GW2.

If you want to play a defense game, go play a defense game.

This logic is flawed. Just because a game is played one way, doesn't mean it can't have other mini games in it.

Look at WoW. In their new expansion coming out they have a mini game almost exactly like plants vs zombies, (a defense game) and it is not glitchy, works fine, has rewards that aren't too good or bad, and is a fun change in pace. I believe this is what the norn tournament, and polymock was SUPPOSED to be, but just not implemented good enough.

I'm not saying Guild wars should have EVERY type of game, but just because its style A, doesn't mean you can't have style B if its done correctly.

What towns are you saving? What towns are being attacked?

If you mean in factions...and the Kurz/Lux line.....how would possibly be implemented? How would it make any difference? Too many questions....too little time.

As Essence Snow said,what town are you talking about? The only one I can think about that you need to defend is in BLA, in wich foes are let in anyway, so...I can't see any application.

If you're talking about something like having the game focus around building defense towers in towns...I think this time Shayne is right, this is really the wrong game, I can't really see gw melting with something along tribal wars or tower defense game's lines.

GW doesn't have any situation where this would have a point. Wait for GW2 which might have it depending on how they implement certain things.

No thanx, defence games like tower defence are all essentially the same. Just go play one online. However, I could see the implementation of towers in GVG's, maybe involving a character taking a minute or two to construct them depending on distance from the guild leader.

On the whole though I dont think its a worthwhile endeavour.

The Live Team doesn't have the resources available to be spending their time on something like this in place of or alongside what current projects are slotted up. Even if they could find those resources, I would prefer they not spend what precious time they can muster up to put out a kind of game that is already fairly popular and has been done in a large variety of ways. There is no need to explore it in GW.

I wouldn't even sign this if Anet did have the resources for it.
