Guild Wars 2

One of the things I really enjoyed about this game was the personal story. In fact I recently got back into this game after a long time of not playing very often due to the fact I created a necromancer and have been doing the story. While playing, I was wondering how long until I got bored again, which is something that happens with me for any game. I realized that the original reason I got bored was that I had finished the story quests on my warrior and had gotten bored of just meta farming and dungeons. The new events didn’t really interest me much. So after searching through the forum and finding no topics about this, I decided to make one.

I think if you allowed people to replay the story missions they have already done, you’d be able to retain more people. Whether or not you were allowed to bring other people along is debatable, but I for one would play this game much more if I could do these story quests again without having to make a new character. I’m not asking for the ability to change your story; everything you had picked would be set in stone. You wouldn’t gain any rewards from doing them either, just the enjoyment of it. I don’t think it would take much work, besides limiting what people could choose or just cutting that part out of already completed missions.

All thoughts are appreciated, with the exception of useless flame comments.

There are a lot of stuff to do after reaching level 80. You could just do those. Or create other characters so you can have all the crafting jobs. Why would you want to replay the story missions on a character when you can create another one and explore a different path? You can always check the wiki for possible choices if you aren’t afraid of spoilers.

I’d do it just to go back and listen to Tybalt.

Even better than replaying your story, is making another character and seeing a different story and seeing out they interwine…because they do.

A lot of the stuff at the end of the story is better understood by playing multiple races.

Although I doubt there are that many people who would want to do their story quests again, there is no downside to allowing it. Would be nice if you could find a NPC in your home instance who lets you replay any of your completed personal missions, similar to the Scrying Pool in Eye of the North. Similar to the Zaishen Missions in GW1 they could have a daily rotation of personal story missions with decent rewards such as laurels for completing them. This would give players aanother incentive to visit the home instance and also make it easier for people looking for groups to do Arah story with.

While I can make a new character and explore a new path, as I’m doing right now with my necromancer, some quests I’d enjoy to go back and do them again. I’ve enjoyed both the vigil quests and the whispers quests so far, but I wouldn’t want to make a new character just to do those again.
