circuitnerd.5863 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Each race except the Charr get a world boss in their starter zone (Plains of Ashford). They need one in my opinion. I had an idea. A big ghost. Specifically Lady Althea at the Viewing Hill. It's a nice big open area and it used to be where her theater was in GW1 before the Charr took her off and killed her during the Searing. She hung out there pre-searing. It would be perfect since she wants to get revenge upon the Charr. Especially that location. Her attacks could be something like large energy balls that drop down from the sky and upon impact deal some damage as well as spawn small clones that attack players dealing minimal damage and are fairly weak. She was a mesmer afterall. I made a quick photoshop screenshot to give an idea of how she would look. Yes I know it's not the best photoshop job but I did it in only 5 minutes. ![](https://i.imgur.com/dV0yH9A.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my point of view the Charr should get one, and also, it's something new albeit small. And I think my idea is pretty good honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstealer.5978 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 OP.. I used to wonder why Charr never got WB either.... especially considering the richness of the history/story behind them and the humans... I mean we have the crypt we have some story fight at the beginning which delves into that history, but sadly all we got really was a few ghosties here and there to cull if wehappen to do so. One of the reasons I tend not to visit PoA very often even when choosing to roll a new Charr, I tend to port elsewhere straight after the initial story point... the map offers very little compared to the other races starter maps, to me at least.

SinisterSlay.6973 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Wow i never thought about the fact that there is no wb there. Maybe make one where a ghost, maybe the old King from the searing tries to get a new cauldron and we have to stop him from activating it. Failure is everyone in the vicinity is put in a downed state. Don't want to instant kill in a beginner map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are still underleveled with all this free insta level 80 boost bullshit these days? Back in my day we had to earn level ups by actually playing the game! And yes, I agree that this map could use a real worldboss if you compare the other races' starter maps. I've always wondered why the Charr starter zone doesn't have one... It's sad because it's one of my favorite core maps among many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New players don't have tons of tomes, and some of them actually *do* realise that boosting to max is probably not a great idea for their first character. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean within the maps itself there are zones that indicate a certain level you have to be. For example if you look at the heart quests: they always show a "required" level. Sure, you can still do things as a level 10 character in Blazeridge Steppes but I doubt that it would make sense since participating in higher level areas doesn't yield you more EXP. Also you can visit all the other zones and cities as well which will get you high enough. Even mapping all the cities alone will be enough to do the first story chapter which also gets you where you want to be very fast. And then there#s the labyrinth during Halloween. (The legendary bosses there may be a bit too hard but since you don't have to stack behind the wall on Lich anymore you're still fine if you stick to the squad and hit everything at least once) Compared to other games you level up very fast here.

KerryTT.4792 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I wondered about this myself. The Charr deserve a world boss. Perhaps a ghost that appears as a red orb that moves randomly along the ground. Possibly generating Fury specifically in Charr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the rework the shatterer was hard to lose to with a zerg, just keep hitting 1. I am guessing more people died to random nearby mobs that to shat itself. Of course, it is not a low level zone but that is where you can tp to a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
