Guild Wars 2

The new dialog in the dead end is AMAZING! Great job Arenanet!

yeah….no. Kinda disappointing, really.

Are Rox, Marjory, and Kasmeer the only conversation options there? Did I miss something? I wish that instance was replayable, or if there are 2 or more versions of that instance, maybe they could make the lastest instance replayable, until the next instance supersedes the recent one.

For now it was rather disapointing.
Too much clicking through text and it was mostly a bit of recap.

It is nice that our Character is now bringing new infos to the Team, which makes it seem like we are contributing, but the first part was just the set up so far, with some more character developement.

Unfortunatly the new info we got there got me more angry then satisfied…
Apearently the Priory and other orders are doing something, but a run abouth self proclaimed detective is the one who pieces the things together?

i am sorry, but somehow with every update the people of Tyria get more unbelieveable and stupid…

Well that is just realistic. Same thing is happening in the real world! :P

Sure, but somebody would at least try to crack these things open… heck the people of LA didn`t even lay a finger on these probes because they are no engineer… somehow the LS is able to let me loose all the faith i have in this world…

I like how my guy went from being an awesome Charr to the socially akward Charr..

Kasmeer – “What about you Rox? Anyone special in your life?”
Rox- No. There was one once. But he was killed.
Kasmeer – “I’m sorry. Was he in your old Warband? Braham said you’re a Gladium.”
Rox- “Braham… talks too much.”
Kasmeer – “Don’t be mad. We’re your friends.”
Marjory – “Yeah, what are friends for, if not for sticking our noses in each other’s buisness!”
~Mission Chest Aquired~
My Character – “WHAT AN ADVENTURE!”

I now think my guy is hiding something….

Wait, there’s a mission chest, or was that just a jesting phrase?

There’s a chest after all the dialogue, yes.

You get some experience and about 17 silver, if I remember correctly. Nothing major.

Ah ok, thanks. I did get the XP and monies. Whew.

I believe the instance updates as you complete the other Living World objectives (talk to the Lionguard, talk to Braham – which you can’t do until WvW updates). Once you complete the final parts of this update’s story outside of the bar (Taimi and Braham) I suspect they will join the others in the bar for more of an exposition dump. It was annoying that I couldn’t re-enter the bar after leaving it.

I think there is an intended order to do these things and if you break that order the instance becomes a little confusing. I went to Lion’s Arch first and the dialogue options I got in the bar afterwards felt like I missed the first few pages of the story. Everyone talked about this green light turning on despite me not previously establishing with any of these people that the green light was something to care about (or that the probe even existed – I knew that, but I didn’t talk to these people about it). It also appears as though it’s account based, so if you “mess up” the order on one character, it’s not possible to “correct” it on another (I’m assuming the order I did it in caused me to miss something, it’s possible everyone’s options are the same regardless of what they do).

I’m mostly confused about why I’m doing all of this with these people. After taking down an Elder Dragon I would have thought I was better connected in Tyria than this. I tried to do it again on my Priory character to see if Marjoy still has “Priory contacts” but I couldn’t get in. Does anyone know if we still rely on Marjory’s Priory contacts if you do the instance on a Priory character? I really wish the main characters were more prominent figures in Tyria, scenes like this would make more sense to me. I feel like I’m in a family movie where an ordinary suburban family foils a terrorist plot to take down the Whitehouse.

My overall tone was negative but I do like the increased weight of story in the content we are getting (even if I don’t like all the story or were the weight is distributed). I am beginning to feel like the cast are being forced onto me with all these exposition scenes being front and centre these last two releases. It’s nice to have character development but it’s so heavily weighted at the end of the story.

It’s a step in the right direction, imo. Your character is actually contributing and ordering people around rather than sitting there being helpless :p
