Guild Wars 2

As has already been pointed out, the personal story had its ups and downs. There were parts that made me want to give up on it because of characters and dialogue. Then Battle for Claw Island happened and made me realize how great it could be. Between levels 50 and 80 the story quality rose and fell at various times.

Then I hit level 70, and things drastically improved. As I rose through the final ten levels I realized that for the first time I was enjoying the ride as far as the story went, and the closer to 80 I got the better the story was. And not just the story. The mission layout, the scope and feel, the music (oh my god, the music in the final missions and final dungeon…Jeremy Soule at his best, moved me to tears at time) everything was great…except the characters.

I think that if Anet can keep the story at the quality it was in Orr, but GIVE US BETTER CHARACTERS (who decided Trahearne was a good idea? But Destiny’s Edge was pretty great in my opinion, more of them please) it will be a story to be proud of.

Seriously, missions like Air Drop (level 79), Source of Orr (level 80), and the Arah dungeon are some of my best memories in MMO history, and I’m extremely thankful for that. All that said, work on your final boss mechanics too. Getting to Zhaitan in that dungeon was fantastic, but the boss himself didn’t put up a fight at all. I enjoyed the fireworks though. And somewhere out there if Jeremy Soule is reading this…marry me.

yeah, i really liked the missions near the end.

shame that the zhaitan battle bummed me for an entire week >.>
