Guild Wars 2

For those who missed parts of the living story…

Would people be happy if ‘replay tickets’ were made available through the gem store? These would basically re-load the LS elements for that person alone.

My feeling is that when I go to a story mission, I can see the green sparkly thing telling me where the instance entrance is, but noone else can. Would there be a way to make this happen for all LS elements so that only -you- can see the dead drops, or the molten facility entrances?

How much would people be prepared to pay for such replay tickets?

These could be adapted to the personal story too for those who wish to run through it again.

I would be open to this.

I would like that, my computer graphics card failed 4-5 weeks ago, finally got a new replacement. Then i come back here to find i can’t finish my living story.

I’m not an expert on the in-depth workings of the game’s engine, but I’m pretty sure this would only work for instanced content…not open world things like the dead drops.

not a bad idea. would be fun i think. especially for the temp dungeons….ANET! lol.

I’ve always supported a “Replay” mechanic for the Personal Storyline, so I heartily endorse this option too. Don’t think it would work for open world content though, like Dead Drops, due to the fact that other players would see it too.

I’d rather like to see the dungeons from Flame & Frost and the new dungeon from Southsun Cove reworked as fractals, since the fractals can show the past, the present and the future (like we’ve seen Ascalon).

But the idea itself is not bad.

The ability to make content only visible to certain players is already possible. Several other games have used it. But why make the ability to do the content a premium item purchase? Presumably with the idea of buying said item every time you want to be able to play it again. If they wanted to make money off of each content release they would have charged for it like an expansion. But then there is most definitely the expectation to forever be able to play the content.

The idea of turning content into a coin operated arcade style put money in to be able to play or play again is a bad idea. We have payed and some continue to pay for content and we get to keep that content. Lets not cross that line into turning it into some disguised pay to play.

I posted a thread about how they could have used existing game design technology to keep this content one time only but for everyone who ever plays the game and not just those lucky enough to be around for it when it was released. Just as the personal story is one time only yet is always there for everyone who will ever play it. With a little creative brainstorming it can reasonably be done. And the world can evolve and change. As those changes are shown to only those who have progressed that far.

The easiest thing to keep in the game are the instances. We can still enter them but we can’t play them. The second easiest and practically tied with the instances are the NPCs. I seem to recall another games developer telling about how quick and easy it is to make NPCs only seen to those who they are relevant to. The DEs are where creative brainstorming comes into play as they would need to have dual appearances one fitting to the areas core story and the one for the LS story.

I would be open to this

I would like to have some form of replay option. Even if its just for the dungeon. I moved house during the last phase, and we’ve had trouble getting the internet connected so I missed the ending.

Maybe instance teleport scrolls that take you directly to one of the previous instances. And on the anniversary the replay npc’s for story review would be up again.

Well now this thread is in Suggestions meaning thats the end of that. Thanks for playing, folks!

Hey not everything here gets vanished :P Just a few off the top of my head- colorblind circles for AOE started here, fixed recently. A ton of WvW suggestions have been added, gem store items added. Its not all doom and gloom here

I always liked the fact that I could revisit story missions in GW1. These living story dungeons are pretty cool, and it seems like a shame for them to be throwaway. I was really hoping for it being a way for them to slowly add new dungeons to the game (kinda like how Fractals was tied to the consortium) so a way to revisit them would be great. All for revisiting my personal story missions too.

I would pay NOTHING to reply story missions! This feature should be FREE! STOP GIVING ANET BAD IDEAS!

No items. Make this a free content. That can be activated from the hero panel.
