Destroy a city

[ReV.6097]

During the events of "head of the snake" I kinda wished DR was damaged far beyond what we saw.

Crippled, so baddly....

With the Charr, and Asura technology aiding the Humans, they re-designed the city to make something similar to Midgar from FF7. xD

I know this is absoloute terrible idea xD

and hell for those who hate anything that kinda changes the old village style city immersion,

but... it's just a vain wish I had. :P

Don't get offended now.

Thry wouldnt touch existing maps. Thats too "living" for anet.

 

If i had to choose tho id choose rata sum. A giant cube collapsing would be cool.

The Grove doesn't have to be destroyed but rather expanded on the ocean side to have beaches. Since the sylvari are shown digging on that side it seems like opening it up on the ocean side is a natural outcome.

 

As to the Black Citadel; I agree. I never really liked that city as it looks like an industrial waste dump for the most part. Destroying it and having humanity help the charr rebuild it would help stabilize relations between humans and charr lore wise.

I agree, the grove is terrible. Black citadel is nice and unique

> I think it's the easiest. If we're going off of how easy it is to map complete, then either Rata Sum or the Grove. I can't navigate either one to save my life. Also, I'm a charr player who doesn't like the asura, so... But, as a chatt, I'd be happy if DR was destroyed. I also don't really care about Holebrek, so that can go. Anywhere but LA and the BC really.

 

The ice statues are great, please no.

BC its a great city.

DR has good architecture.

LA: Please its ugly.

RS: Creating a new city would take too much time.

The Grove: Dead to the pale tree=?

[Palador.2170]

I'd love to see someone try to flatten Lion's Arch again, but this time they're ready. All of those disliked structures open up to reveal hidden weapons. Human cannons. Charr missile launchers. Asuran energy beams. Maybe even bring back that huge holographic dragon from Dragon Bash, but this time as a solid hologram and have it rip into some of the attackers.

[Ubi.4136]

I would have to say Amnoon - and they don't even have to rebuild it, just bury it under sand. Seems like they were all racist anyway. No real loss as far as this Asura is concerned.

[hugo.4705]

DR have been partially rebuilt with the addition of crown pavilion + clockwork chaos, LA have been rebuilt after scarlet. So either BC, G, H or RS. I would go for Rata Sum, because that city isn't that much defended, only ground-defenses whereas at rata-primus they have anti-aerian cannons, and protective force shield. The cube can surely be cut in half very easily, and I'm curious about the rebuilding. Black citadel and hoelbrak are great no needs to destroy them. I like the grove architecture.

DR I wan't to see that city burns! ;)

You humaphobe!

[Ashabhi.1365]

While not a "city" so much as an area, I'd vote for Ebonhawke... Burn it down, rebuild it as a real "city" and put the portal to whatever instance ANet decides we need for personal player space (housing, whatever.) Put crafting in the center, along with easily accessed TP and storage instead of spreading it out.

 

But, if I had to choose one of the existing hubs, I'd say Hoelbrak. It's a beautiful place, but things are so spread out and useless that nobody goes there. Rata Sum, The Grove and the others are frequented by everyone, but we need a REASON to go to Hoelbrak. Right now, the only people going there are Norn who want to do their personal story or everyone else for map complete. Wipe it out and give us a reason to go.

omg stop, I can only get so elated. :3

Please leave my beloved Ebonhawke out of it.

Take heed! I haven't taken leave of my sense. I've seen creatures of metal and steam!

LOL! That's "senses" (plural), by the way. That Norn NPC always cracks me up. =)

Indeed. I love its structure and architecture so much. Like DR, I would absolutely hate seeing it destroyed. It is one of the last classic Ascalonian architecture locations we still have.

I didn't say destroyed per se, but it does need an overhaul. It's so ugly it hurts my eyes, except for the small hidden garden, which is beautiful - wish the whole "city" looked like that, just beautiful trees etc. and not funky blue growth with tons of glitter.

Whhhaaaaat? :o

Nah that's Rata Sum. oh wait, that's not cats... but definitely not to be trusted :p

They already know, that's why they outsourced synergetics.

I don't think it's ugly. I like inside the Grove. I just wish it was expanded to include a beach, sylvari style huts on the beach and up on the cliffs overlooking the beach and a farm by the path to Caledon Forest.

Well, it _is_ a question of personal taste after all. ;) Like I said, I find it cheesy and unpleasant to the eye. I would have preferred an "autumn colored forest" environment like in the secret garden that is hidden behind a pond in the Grove. The blue&green theme along with all the glitter and strange growth just isn't my cup of tea.

I agree, a beach would have been a nice addition.

[Knighthonor.4061]

Norn city is the worst and least interesting city of the main races. Grove is borderline equal in how bad.

[Knighthonor.4061]

You can tell the Grove was slap together at the last minute due to lack of development time or resources.

[Eekasqueak.7850]

Grove or DR, Grove because it gives a reason to kill off the pale tree and DR because it'd be the most dramatic.

[Patchwreck.2357]

Ebonhawke is the only city where you can stand between the bank and TP and access both. I have my marketing alt parked there.

[sorudo.9054]

destroy themepark sea edition please, i like to see LA back.

[Majic.4801]

I'd rather they not destroy another city, but I wouldn't mind if they "destroyed" South Sun Cove and turned it into something more than a place for pointless zerging and farming.
