I hope my idea will go back up to ArenaNet :
Here I’ll talk about the layout of it and not the content
Immersion is super important! especially if you want the content even if it happens to be going through because what is important is the story you are trying to tell and to live players to be essential for an epic wind blowing into it .
If the formatting is flawed , the story will not be as we understood by everyone and will blow after a smaller impact in the light of what happened in the previous update . The shape is as important as the background , you’ll understand why after reading .
Why not make a living history in this style because I remember that the devs have told us to see living history as a series :
- You speak (pnj of living story)Herault will show you a cutscene on the update of the fifteen days ( in previously on Gw2….. + introduction and intrigue of the update )
- You get your little mail as usual.
- You start the contents of the update
- End of content + cinematics that we saw a little hint on the next update( intrigue ==> cliffhanger for example)
" The" cliffhanger “a dramatic and exciting ending to an episode of a serial, leaving the audience in suspense and anxious not to miss the next episode:”
That it ! already it lays the foundation for understanding the history it seems more structure to be a little more immersed in the story alive after the content itself is another matter, but as it is important and is now almost nonexistent in the level of history.
For the story it should be optional and deepen what should have already known on the update compared to diagram (above).
Wouldn’t mind it
