Hello there, fellow tyrians.

I was talking the other day with a friend about the blandness of some parts of the personal story and I came to a possible issue there. The pace of the dialog.

In the personal story, one dialog waits for the later to end in order to start and it normally does that like 1 second or so. That breaks the pace of the story. Sometimes characters should interrupt each other, sometimes they should be left thinking for a while without speaking. These thing set the pace of a dialog.

I think that’s something that could’ve been done better.

¿Thoughts?

The glory of my ancestors shall be restored.

There is some critisism bout the way dialogues are brought in the main game. Arenanet agrees with that and is currently experimenting with a more cinematic approach to the dialogue situation. This could been seen in the instances for the living story since march this year.

The change is that instead of the the headshots of two heads talking with a general back ground, they are providing cinematics where the story is told in full screen cinematics a bit like in gw1

Arise, ye farmers of all nations
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
