“Johanson said that it was unlikely that the losing concept would ever be built, as he feels that doing so would cheapen the impact of the final decision. However, he did make the lighthearted suggestion that mass player protests and political demonstrations could change that.”

It’s not fair for these candidates to reduce themselves to just which fractal we want. I propose that next weekend we have a mass protest in Lions Arch. Tell Anet we want both fractals, and are fine with the candidates being attached to which comes first, but allow us the ability to choose which politician we want directing the story without excluding interesting lore. If you believe in Free Choice in LA show up in front of the Cobiah Marriner Statue for a rally at noon pacific time on Saturday the twentieth. In addition I will be having a slogan competition. Whoever comes up with the best one by Saturday will receive 5 gold. Lets take back free choice!!!!!

I think it’s just an allusion to what collin said in the last interviews about that when we protesting ingame, we maybe would get both fractals…. so, calm down.

Yeah lol Collin said if we made a big deal about we might just get both, so I’m making a big deal. I am serious though. I’d like Kiel driving the living story for the years to come but abaddon fractal would be absolutely amazing

Gosh, can I … I hardly dare … may I … ach I better let it out before I implode … make it separate dungeons with storymode, couple of paths and fashion rewards according to the time (old GW1 armour for the nostalgia theme and experimental armour for the explosive asura area).

We can get both but need unwavering support of whole community which we can never get. If there is a tie it is possible we get benefits of both if both winning vs. both lossing.

Well I do agree with you… However more so on story grounds because LA should be wiped from the map instead…

Can we get a whole ton of warriors to put banners in the skill bars, and then have people in the protest literally using banners?

It’s politics. That means greed, dirty sneaky deeds, underhanded bribes, and so forth.

I’m all for this one. I wish we could craft picket signs.

It’s a kitten conspiracy. Kittens gonna be kittens. All is vain!

A-net only has so many resources. They can’t possibly make both fractals at once, so they’re giving us the choice of which one we want first. Being understanding is the first step to being contempt.

Yeah i mean just because one living story team was able to make both of the story dungeons in the first half of the year doesn’t mean that 4 teams could make two fractals…..

I don’t think we should demand both immediately. But we should ask that the other does eventually become available. Especially as we now know that, at the very least, they have the story for both.

As a lore-fiend … I must know! But I will be patient and hope they realize that permanently withholding potential story is not cool.

Guild Wars 2 is not a sequel to the original Guild Wars but merely an alternative story setting.

That’s right, they can’t. 3 of those 4 teams are already at work on other projects. Don’t expect them all to be waiting for this one vote’s end result. Really, only 1 team will have the time to work on this. While one of the others, among other things, will be busy turning the Aetherblade and Molten facilities into condensed fractals.

I don’t think you understand what was said here and there. They, the devs, said we’ll only get one – not one now, one ever. What this thread is doing is asking for “protest” to show support that we, the players, would like both eventually – one now, one later. Thus one team of assorted monkeys have plenty of time to do both, one by the promised end of the year, the other some time after.

Oh, yeah, I’m pretty sure they’ll do that. Not positive, mind you, but pretty sure.

If anyone wants to read my quote at the top of the thread you’ll see that Anet had states they don’t plan on doing both fractals as a way to not cheapen the impact o the vote. I think that doing this actually really cheapens it because now we will vote only based on which fractal we want, not about who we want directing the future of the story

Pretty much. Illusion of choice. And the obviously loaded the more interesting fractal behind who they want to win.
