Guild Wars 2

(first note for hardcore players – pls no hate on this topic, ok? thx )
Well, I thought about that in nearest or next big patch, players could get the opportunity to play raids in the mode called “story mode”.
This would work in this way:
1. You could play all the raids in this mode without other players to read the story, dialogues, etc. with no rush. (you could play with npc’s)
2. Of course, the player did NOT receive ANY awards and achiv, which normally can be earned by playing raids with other players in the normal mode. (or maybe only some golds at end).
Really such a thing would be cool, because certainly there are people who care more about the story contained in these raids than the huge prizes and legendary armor. (Including me and my girlfriend).

So yeah… What do you think?

They have the merchant NPC in wing 3 telling you summeries of the things, that happend in raid wing 1 and 2. And honstly, there is not much story in the raids. Sometimes your character will say something, but the rest is just letters and notes on the ground or things to look at.
I can understand, that people want to “experience” the fights in a story mode, but since there is really not that much to tell and the informations are accesible for everyone, I doubt ANET will bring an extra story mode for raids.

There are tons of threads on this topic.

1. Almost all lore comes from a completed instance.
2. There’s almost 0 lore from the boss fight
3. An npc at the beginning of wing 3 summarizes the lore
4. Anyone can experience the boss fights
5. A story mode as you describe provides no replay value.

It’s a better option than most of what people throw out here. I’d prefer raids remain as they are but if they have to change I would prefer this mode.
