Guild Wars 2

I like to think most people who have finished the personal story has been met with a bit of dissatisfaction…
To avoid spoilers, all I’ll say is: The choices really dwindle and the writing falls short to the level3 to 50 instances; ANet has even said somewhere they couldn’t vet that portion with the same care they did with the others.

So, here’s what I’m thinking:

Would you mind if ANet added to the latter of the Personal Story and brought the choices and character depth up to the same level as the earlier instances? (Possibly with alternate endings?)

I would not.

This idea is for a future expansion, not a request for immediate changes. I want them to do it well, not half-baked by it currently is.

You mean, if they changed the existing chapters of the Personal Story, for levels 80 and below? How would players who have already completed it take advantage of that?

As far as chapters which come afterward, yeah — of course I’m on board with that. More choices and alternate paths are always welcome.

I think people exaggerate how “bad” the personal story gets in the last third or so. Not that I disagree, necessarily, but I don’t think it’s as bad as some people make it out to be.

What I wonder about, though, is what’s going to happen to what is now the finale of the personal story, once an expansion hits or the story otherwise continues. Are people always going to have to go complete a story-mode run of Arah, as a 5-player dungeon? How are new players even going to find people willing to help them through that, once new content hits?

Not “change”, so much as “add to”.

Add choices to a specific point, so that players can branch out into less restricted experiences compared to what’s currently there: A massive pigeonhole towards Trahearne.

And to your criticism regarding players who have already done the story. They can do the exact same thing as what players already do to enjoy other personal story routes.
MAKE AN ALT with different story paths to explore and experience.
The storyline with multiple routes isn’t a matter of fairness, it’s for the enjoyment of those who want to experience it, that’s replayability~
