Guild Wars 2

So now that I got to experience each phase (for the most part) enough to sink my teeth into it and give a quick personal opinion.

Overall it’s a great idea, some plans felt like it just absolutely dragged on while giving us a taste of more events in it’s fashion. I liked that, added more things in those zones and filled little “voids” of wondering around with some things to do.

The ending phase with the dungeon was a neat idea. The issue I have with it; It’s only temporary! The Molten Facilities should be a nice basing point for permanent change from this Living Story, which brings me a question;

The Living Story was aimed to “change” Tyria (at least parts of it) forever. So now, at the end of this story, are we going to experience a reset of sorts when the Living Story is then concluded?

I don’t see why, the dungeon has the makings of a fine, easily accessible dungeon for all. A nice momento to the Living Story as a whole. Removing it feels like it contradicts leaving the main dungeons of old. If you want the feeling these two separate stories are running parallel to one another (said so in an interview), then why would one “end” so shortly as the others will constantly continue as they were. Then later that means the story never happened to those new to the game!

Look, I’ll understand the refusal for achievements and rewards within the dungeon post-event, as it was a drive to make it happen in the first place. However, this isn’t just a holiday dungeon, this one was supposedly affecting Tyria! Then as of the epilogue closes, Tyria is back to it;s normal self?

What will actually stay as a permanent token to the Living Story once it concludes? Anything at all, or just the titles and points one can bolster about?
