Now i have to say. I just finished the speach and some invasions. i know there is still the funhouse and some savings to do…
But thats it?
Thats where Guild Wars 2 is going? I am not really sure it is that special so far. (i am not saying its not fun, but underwhelming)
Actually a lot of missed opportunities, which is quite sad.

Scarlet:

The Joker/Harley/Poison Ivy`s lovechild is not very interesting. Oh she is a super-genius, but thats only something we get in a little sentence on the side. Other then that.. We still dont know anything. She says she wants to show us something, teach us, educate us. whatever… However all she does: here some perverted versions of your watchknights, i invade kryta and you cant stop me nah nah nah.
Also its not Kryta thats burning, but the whole “globe”… (btw who wrote that? i dont think she causes havok in cantha or so…)

The invasion:

We allready have a thread about the “problems” there. However, what is with the presentation? Some portal effects, the new “twisted minions” (btw. someone playing W40k? these totally feel like Necrons. Green, Glowing, Repeairing itself if you dont destroy them in time) and the old two “armies”.
Again, no explantation. Appearently the molten alliance still trusts her, after their failure.
However the whole presentation is just… meh… just some random spawning monsters.
How about some athmosphere? Get the sky dark and omnious. Have the portals stick out. The whole set up is so underwhelming.. (artisticly)
Oh and Scarlet jumping in. Why even bother?

The whole thing is made too “big” and subsequently just annoying so far. I am sorry, but i can only ask “is that all?”

I hope the funhouse will be better, but so far the patch doesnt really show a world changing direction. It is “just” your typical crazy villain, with a hidden agenda who thrusts the world into chaos…
For now. This is not really the update that was “promised”

(what would have maybe been better? have her take over DR with her minions. Put the city under lock down for two weeks, with players fighting to hold the enemies back. destroy the city, change the landscape)

Short Version: It is fun, but the presentation is underwehlming, motivations “very familiar so far” and not really living up to the hype of showing “where GW2 is going”
