The first one being the noise of the fountains. The second being: "Life is a trail, Koda the judge and kodan the jury." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from trying to work out how to get that one POI in the ?sewers. It's a bit odd in that the current one is pretty much single-level, and we have mounts, whereas the original one was multi-level and we didn't have mounts, or gliding.

Aodlop.1907 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 The original LA had more character for sure. It felt like a unique GW2 town, rather than a generic portuary city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taril.8619 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Either bring back original LA, or re-rework it into something that has more of a feel of being a culmination of all 5 races work.

Game of Bones.8975 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Not saying it's a total work-around, but there is a series of jumping pads that will take you from the bank to the steps of the trading post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbii.5134 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I would love to see the old LA return, but I don't think it will. The version we have now is no where near as charming as the original. I'd love to see it destroyed and rebuilt one more time, but I don't think that'll happen either.

sorudo.9054 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 the most annoying thing about LA isn't just the horrible architecture, it's also the players staying there for no particular reason other then slowing down the loading time for others.

Ogwom.7940 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The Old LA was way better than current day LA. Back then it had heart and character. There were winding bridges above and taverns abroad. Secret entrances, access to sewers and cool cave with the spies in it. I just loved how compacted it was, this made it feel like a true bustling city and also quite cozy. Please, I just hate this new Toys R Us themed LA ever since its release. It's so bland and open. It just feels so weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daishi.6027 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I prefer spacious clean floors and shiny glass over the rotting wood of used boats and cracked bricks. Not super keen on all the sea animal imagery, its little cheesy even for a port town; but could be worse. Would be nice to get more voice lines, maybe something that changes every few months; make the world feel a bit more alive in towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLotus.8349 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 "I know your face from my dream." "Less violence I say, more violets." "I pray to the spirits but they rarely answer." I have to mute dialog whenever I stay in Lion's Arch for an extended amount of time. Sucks having to turn it off and on depending on when I want to hear story dialog. Wish we could get a separate toggle for generic NPC lines. Also, as others have said many times before, I miss old Lion's Arch. The architecture has so much more character and I find it hard to believe that a proud people like the residents of Lion's Arch would not want to rebuild what they had in the way that they had it.

Jagblade.4627 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Make it into a genuine port town. I preferred old LA but it doesn't HAVE to go back to that. Anything is better than all the wasted open space we have now. Most of it looks like a giant soapstone art exhibit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solanum.6983 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The noise is the same anywhere in game, NPCs repeat lines all the time. I do think in the central hub of any MMO there should be less of this. As for design, I personally much prefer it over the old one, I like how clean it is and the architecture is amazing.
