ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/In-game Beastiary

In-game Beastiary (Discussion)
Have a Beastiary where players can read the lore about a monster, as well as some technical information such as health, AL, strengths/weaknesses, location etc. Here are a number of suggestions that outline how it can be implemented:
 * Have a Book that reveals pages once a player has killed the corresponding monster. This can be:
 * An item which the person carries
 * A window on the person's interface, or
 * Held by an NPC Librarian.
 * Have GWW incorporate a bestiary in the users help interface, which can provide the same information. Players can use the search function to find out detailed information about the monster


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Give players a good read, and ties the monsters more effectively into the game.
 * The first idea makes it easier to read up on a monster instead of having to switch windows and check the wiki.


 * Why it may not work out
 * It could be an interesting add-on perhaps sometime after the game has launched and stabalized. The developers should keep the extras like that to a minimum to reduce costs and keep game files from being so big. Let them finish the game first and then add extras like that later. Lay down the foundation first! ^_^

Beastiary Lore & Technical Info
Make it so that players should interact with NPC's or books/tapestries to help them compile the lore secion of a Beastiary. And players gain technical information when they slay that monster (or if that monster slays you.)


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Expands on the idea of experience. Killing monsters provides experience, so when you want to kill that monster again you'll have a better understanding.
 * Makes NPCs and other items more interactive


 * Why it may not work out
 * Unnecessarily complex for a beastiary.

Title: The Beastarian
As players compile more and more information about monsters into a Beastiary, they can gain ranks in a title.


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Gives players an aspiration to complete a Beastiary
 * I dont believe its grinding, its more like an extra objective/achievement


 * Why it may not work out
 * More grind
 * too easy and it goes to well with vanquishing
