Personal Story - What if?
Level to 80 without any story line quests. Then do them all in one go. Then be depressed about how short and crappy the story actually is.
It’s a game forum. The truth is not to be found here.
Gehenna kind of has it right sadly.
The story is really short if you level to 80, and then do your story. Though crappy is an opinion. I enjoyed my story on several characters. But to each their own.
The main reason they put 2-4 levels between the story is to stretch it out from 1-80. If they made it to where you could only do the Personal Story, then they would have to add tons of new content to it and make a story for each level.
Plus the Personal Story doesn’t award you with enough experience to level to 80. Again, they would have to add a ton more content and set it at every level for you to be able to keep up with it and finish it at level 80.
But I do agree that it is frustrating the way it is setup. I wish it was every level and there was more to it and it wasn’t so short. I hated doing my Personal Story and getting to a major climax in it, and then having to go grind out 2-4 more levels before I could finish it. By the time you get those 2-4 levels you need to do your next stage of the Personal Story, you are uninterested and sometimes can’t even remember what happened before and why you are doing this.
Put simply, it could of been done better.

I know the story is short but that is not what this thread is about.
Be on topic.

It is on topic, because the reason you can’t just do personal story only is because there is too little of it. You said yourself that you don’t want to do “other stuff” in between….the reason you have to do other stuff is because there is too little story…or in other words:
It’s too short.
get it?

You didn’t read my first post? they could use their scalesystem to scale you to the same level as the personal story mission. To say that the story is too short is a bad excuse and irrelevant to this thread, write on topic.
People shouldn’t be forced to do something that they don’t want.
I don’t know how relevant it is buuut.
Consider the areas you have to go to in order to initiate certain parts of the story. If you’re level 10, but the story missions scale you up to 80, you won’t be able to do them past a certain point anyway because unless you’re being escorted, the mobs will destroy you. Particularly true of Orr.

He is being on topic, you are just failing to understand what he is saying.
You are still going to be forced to do regular content outside the storyline. The reason being is that the storyline is too short.
Even if you were scaled, you wouldn’t earn enough experience by the time you finished your storyline, to be level 80. You would end up around level 30, maybe level 40. That is 40-50 levels you still will need to get by doing regular PvE content. Because like I said, even if the storyline was scaled so you could do it at any level, it is too short and doesn’t provide enough experience to level you to 80.

So what you’re saying is that it was a suggestion and you mistakingly put this in general chat instead of the suggestion forum?
Oh and stop telling me what I can or cannot do. You don’t own this forum.

If you only want to do story you wouldn’t care if you end up being lvl 30 or 40 and to blame the story for being to short is not a solution to the problem, i asked for a solution to the problem not the problem itself. Captain obvious. Stay on topic.
please stop this pointless bickering.

So, now it’s in the suggestion forum…..
I think this suggestion is a terrible idea. The thing is that it will only take a day to do all of it at most and you do get rewards for the quests that are higher level as you normally progress. That means everyone could make a level 1. Do all the stories and sell the loot, then delete the toon…rinse and repeat.
So no, I don’t think this is a good idea.

there seems to be many many aspects of gw2 that seems unfinished with great potential to become amazing…

No YOU wouldn’t care if you ended up being level 30. You don’t speak for everyone, so don’t act like you do. I’m sure there is others out there that would care if they were stuck at level 30. There is probably people out there that don’t want a random level 30 on their account that they will never play because they only did the Personal Story and it wasn’t enough experience to get them to level 80.
And in fact, you are limiting yourself to only one portion of the game and expecting Anet to only cater to you because you only want to play that part of the game. Your solution for scalable Personal Story would only help yourself, not anyone who doesn’t like that approach. I have offered my solution, but you only seem to be focused on yourself and ignoring anything else.
Edit: And it seems this was moved to Suggestions now.
As a suggestion, I don’t like this idea. As was said by Gehenna, this would allow low levels to get rewards for high levels easily. It would become a fast farming method and be abused to the point it ends up getting nerfed like everything else.
As well, making it scalable would be terrible as it still wouldn’t get you to level 80. Thus leaving you to have to do other content anyways to reach max level. So if you only wanted to level off the Personal Story, you would still be forced into other content anyways to reach max level.

You can sort of just do the story mode and leave the rest of the game untouched…just invite a high lvl buddy to help you out. Never tried that though, so maybe it locks you out after the missions are over a certain lvl gap?
But if you want to just solo it, I’d say tough. This is an MMO, not a single player game. Although there are ways to skip parts of the content of the game, the game would be badly designed if it didn’t encourage you to try all of it. The missions take you to various locales that you need to explore to open up which can net you xp all the same. If you could just pop to your next mission without word or thought is rather (not to be rude) dumb.
If you want to skip levels to continue your story progression, go craft.

If you’re only going to do the story and you get scaled for every mission there’s no reason for you to be lvl 80, you only wanted the story.
I can relate to this.
I am on my second alt character, my alts that I play only to get more aspects of the story. I wont even complete the entire thing as such, just to the point where things merge. For the last 2 it will only be the actual racial bit.
So where I on my main want to experience it all, and already did… almost. On my alts having to do so much leveling is tedious.
Some kinda solution would be nice.
Life doesn’t stop being funny just because the dead can’t laugh.
I wish I didn’t have to do the story in order to level. I often find myself interrupted in the zones I am because the amount of killing and questing I am doing doesn’t level me fast enough in order to stay in said zone. I often find myself taking on opponents three to five levels ahead of me because I did all the quests that were closer to my level. This forces me to do a multitude of things! For instance:
- Crafting.
- Dungeon crawling.
Lastly and certainly worst:
- Personal Story.
I skip everything that has to do with dialogue in Personal stories. The characters piss me off as they all have about the IQ of a five year old child and the personality of an infant! The plot is fine in itself, but the characters… OMG THE CHARACTERS!!!
My problem is, they are all so BLACK or WHITE. I can’t recall ANY character that is a part of the story that is remotely in a gray zone! Ah, that’s a lie, there was one, and his intentions were good, but he got flinched for doing something lifesaving for hundreds by sacrificing five.
I don’t see how you can ‘bear’ listening to the story dialogue at all!
