So far The Origins of Madness reminds me of The Secrets of Southsun. We have a bunch of different things going on, but the narrative connecting them seems to be missing from the game.

Hm?

This update does have a massive amount of story. Both the instance in Lions Arch, but especially the Scarlet Hideout things.

Krall Bloodsword – Mesmer
Krall Peterson – Warrior
Piken Square

Can you really say that the amount there is sufficient lordkrall? I know many players who were unsatisfied with the personal story, and many who are awaiting something interesting to come along update-wise. Some people enjoy the living story, many don’t, although there is a lot of potential, however it is pretty painful to see the living story taking precedence over the real background story (I mean lets face it, the storyline was cheesy as hell, and in some people’s opinion, badly written). Not only that, but I do not think Anet have properly addressed issues keeping the living world updates from being enjoyable.

Stormy, you could write a lot more on the issues, I would myself, but truthfully some would see it as too opinionated, whilst also the message would perhaps go unheeded. Though funnily enough, I spoke to a developer earlier today during the events.
