Collaborative Development Topic- Living World
In the case of slow paced story release, I feel it would help considerably if we were able to revisit past story(living story instances) at will.
I can always catch an episodes of a show I missed or want to re-watch at a later date, why can’t this be the case for the LS instances?
Same can be said for personal story missions.We’ve heard this request a lot over the past year and are evaluating our options. We’ll share more details when we’re able.
Hey Bobby,
I recently (yesterday) went back to GW1, to do the Guild Wars Beyond content that I kind of missed in the last years of GW1. And after going over the websites of the 3 arcs, I noticed that War in Kryta had a scribe, “blogging” about the daily stuff happening. Couldn’t this concept be used more with the Living story?
In GW1, I could replay the story arcs, with a different character, but even if I couldn’t, reading that War in Kryta page would get me up to speed on the stuff I missed.
Also, Guild Wars Beyond was kind of GW1’s Living story, wasn’kitten WiK lasted 4 months!

Isn’t it possible to incorporate the living story into the personal story page in some way? Maybe another tab that contains information on each living world story, maybe your progress through it and then once the event is over some kind of wrap-up or explanation in case you missed it with an option to play through the story instance.
Clicking it could activate a “personal waypoint” like you can make on the map that you can go to to start the living world story mission, or somewhere very close to the original spot if that location isn’t available anymore (like say the Bazzaar of the Four Winds).
Just tossing out some ideas here. I would like to see a way for a character that had been created before a living world event to go back and play through the story, but perhaps if that character hadn’t been created before a living world event still have access to some kind of synopsis.
For instance I still don’t know the whole story behind Scarlett. I saw the start of her living world segment when she kidnapped the queen but I wasn’t able to do the story instance and so references in say the nightmare tower to the one noble from the human’s story being in his underwear totally went over my head and made me feel like I really missed something important.
