Sombra.3246 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Nostalgia is a poweful thing. I miss spending time in pre seering ascalon, I would love it if they make a pre seering ascalon instance a bonus pack or something and give us more background stories about the seering as bonus missions. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narwhalsbend.7059 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I would like a complete re-make zone of pre-searing remastered exactly as it was. But they won't do that. Anything they might do would totally fail to capture the experience as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Wouldn’t it be kind of odd for my Charr characters to be wandering around Presearing Ascalon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we Charr would be level 50 and kill any level 1-20s!(this is terrible idea, dont listen to me im actually joking.) Though theoretically if this was a "in the mists" kind of thing we could be shrouded to appear human(provided this was just a side area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I've already been there and done that, I'd much prefer something new over something old. I say forget GW1 and move on to bold new lands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be odd, that is why I said they should make an instance of pre seering ascalon so that not just anyone can join the instance. If they do it something like the bonus mission pack in GW1 https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_Bonus_Mission_Pack, We could maybe we can play as Prince Rurik or someone else in pre seering. Or just make it a human exclusive zone. And I agree with you , a complete re-master of the zone exactly as it was and maybe even expand it a bit would be awesome. > @"narwhalsbend.7059" said: > I would like a complete re-make zone of pre-searing remastered exactly as it was.

Standing around Ascalon? Doing the presearing quests? Wandering around to see sights from an old game? Dude. If you’re that nostalgic log on to gw1 presearing and get the real deal, not a redo that doesn’t capture the original because it’s an instanced bonus pack sold in the gemstore.

Danikat.8537 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Considering Ascalon has regrown a GW2-era Ascalon map where things are less yellow would probably look a lot like pre-searing. Pre-searing is apparently the autumn (according to the intro) and I'm not sure if GW2 Ascalon is earlier in the summer when everything is dry, or later in the autumn when more of the leaves have turned, but either way I think if we had a map set at a slightly different time of the year (or if we had seasons in the game as a whole) it would look quite different. Alternatively if they did want a way to send us back they could always do something quasi-canon with the Commando's, but that would almost certainly be a short one-off. > @"Just a flesh wound.3589" said: > Wouldn’t it be kind of odd for my Charr characters to be wandering around Presearing Ascalon?

Ayakaru.6583 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 As a fractal, mayhaps. An entire zone is just too much just for nostalgia’s sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I have an alternate suggestion. Put Guild Wars in the gemstore really cheap, maybe the price of a bonus mission. Then every gw2 player can buy it at a low cost and play together in the real Presearing Ascalon with their friends. If they find it fun enough they can buy the rest of the campaigns and the expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Gonna point out: [There is one](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Urban_Battleground_Fractal "There is one"). Closest thing to pre-Searing Ascalon we're going to get (outside of actual Ascalon, which is well on its way to recovery under Charr rule) is roaming around Queensdale. Or... you know... Guild Wars 1 hasn't gone anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I still play regularly GW1. There are too many things I miss from the game, that we do not have in GW2. So for me personally, the solution was to just keep playing there. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guild Wars 1 hasn't gone anywhere... That isn't really close to pre-searing -- it's during the Searing (plus you're helping the flame legion call it down). It's definitely not what the OP was looking for, nostalgia-wise. I think there are other examples in GW2 of areas with a similar feeling: the strawberry garden, the end of Troll's Revenge in LA, the home instances.

I’m going to need a gate monkey to open the gate. I’ll pay you a gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Gate Monkeys are no longer necessary, I believe. Was a QoL update not long ago. So, it should be easier to Death Level. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elricht Kaltwind.8796 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 So many awesome ideas in this discussion. It might be too similar to Fractals in concept, but what about a time machine? And what if it was more than just pre-Searing Ascalon – what if you went back to the time and place of your ancestors? A charr would go north of the wall and kill the occasional group of humans that ventured through. A norn would go to Eye of the North as it was then, and the surrounding area. A human would go to pre-Searing Ascalon, sans north of the wall. An Asura could go underground or whatever those creepy little things crawled out of. And a sylvari would enter the dream-world or something. Each one would be a unique zone with a few events and stuff, and some new items returning from GW1.

sorudo.9054 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 does anyone remember the april fools missions? you go back in time in disguise to fix something in the past, this could be done with the inquest trying to get rid of the humans so they have free reign in their time.
