Guild Wars 2

I was looking forward to this event furthering the living story along, but from I can see so far I am not seeing much. Two new bosses, no NPC or cut scenes to further along the whole story or explain the situation etc. I’m kind of surprised. The last bit with the tower and the story that went along and new items etc was exciting and gave me something to do in the game, this just seems like an excuse to stand around for 20 minutes at a time waiting to fight a boss, and then that is it. Boo.

There was a lot of information from the NPCs in Lion’s Arch when you are looking for information about Scarlet’s Lair and then there is the lair itself….

Where are they? I haven’t seen them or heard anything about a lair yet.

After you try the Wurm and the Marionette the Living Story panel will update and bring you to LA, where you will get into a story instance with quite a bit of information (don’t forget to talk to the NPCs), and when that is done you will get the objective to find a way into the secret Hideout which is marked by a golden star.

Seems to be a lot of standing around waiting for bosses to begin.

Keep an eye on the top right for your living story panel.

It’s now more like a ‘quest’ giver. You can click on the text-like objectives and they will show you where to go.

To give you a start, though, you need to participate in the Marionette and the Wurm battle at least once, and then you’ll be given a step to go to Lion’s Arch. You DO NOT have to win them, only fully participate in them.

The marionette spawns every even hour, and the wurm spawns every odd. Since you don’t have to win them, you can turn up at 5pm/6pm for example, go through with it until it fails, or more ideally succeeds, and then proceed with the actual story.
