Playing through about five characters at a roughly 5:3 (5 hours on main, 3 hours each for other chars ), Each with almost as distinct a path as possible; I recognized most of the named npcs that were around. While some you don’t meet in just one iteration (unlike the npcs in that story ( forgot name and the gui window for me seems bugged in game, can’t scroll past estate of zhaitan, but anyways those npcs that you’ve personally recruited/encountered on that character), you meet others through the different stories. Felt like it brought it all together nicely.
There seems to be a lot of hate for Arena Net/ the personal story, and I thought I’d express my appreciation for the little things. Yes, the Zhaitan boss fight was a lil’ anti-climatic, yes there have been some bugs and difficulty issues ( those playing the game near the release date on a norn who had to regain the horn of their ancestor know what I mean by difficulty ) along the way, however despite it all, we’ve made it to the end, of this particular journey at least. So once again, thanks Arena Net, and looking forward to more from you in the future.
One thing: I WOULD like the option to be able to replay a personal story; doesn’t have to offer any rewards, I just want to be able to look back on some points in the story for things that I may have missed. Wouldn’t even mind if the loot drops were turned off ( not sure if there’d need to be a reason too ). Just throwing that in there for possible work for your dev team to consider.
