Idea for public dungeons

sirpz

So I'm sitting here running through Orcrest, just thinking, "how cool would this be if this was a full city" and it was the same thing with Sunhold in Summerset. So I thought what if there was some form of dynamic event type public dungeons, maybe to refresh an old DLC zone, you can have some implementation where (for example) Sunhold is raided and it turns into a big public dungeon, while before it might have been a big quest hub. Maybe completing the public dungeon unlocks another quest that fights off the raiders and returns the city to what it once was, if you're done with grinding the public dungeon, it could be some big siege event that would really add cool content to older zones, stuff like this could be added for free for chapter owners alongside the Q3 or Q4 DLC.

And maybe down the line you realize you wanna go back to Sunhold public dungeon after fending off the raid there can be a door in the city that brings it back so you can continue to farm/whatever.

For Orcrest maybe you visit the city when its a thriving hub when the chapter first drops but 3 months later you get a letter that a plague has swept through and the city needs your help to find out what caused it/kill bosses/deliver a cure and help rebuild.

I feel like this isn't just specific to public dungeons but could be implemented for all sorts of things like delves or world bosses, adding new content to a pre-existing chapter zone seems a great way to refresh the game a little bit when it gets stale, maybe add it in in between Q3 and Q4 DLCs during that slump.

Note however Im not recommending to time gate content, just saying to add totally new content to a zone down the line in a form of some big event, Orcrest and Sunhold were only examples

I would love to see more of my impact on the world while playing, I know its not that easy in an MMO, but I feel like it can be done.

Im interested in hearing others opinions/ (and maybe ZoS 🤔) hire me zos
