Guild Wars 2

After the expansion pack comes out and everything gets settled if Anet hasn’t already decided to possibly abandon the Living Story idea hopefully with LS Season 3 they will overhaul it.

What I mean is abandon the 2 week updates possibly in favor of something like a once a month release schedule .

Downside: only one release a month.

Positive: Gives them more time to make each episode larger and more fulfilling. If they are making a new map for it, allows them to take more time and go more into detail with it. Allows them to make the episodes longer. Look at the episode updates at the last half of Season 2. They can be beaten in like 15 mins. A once a mouth release schedule allows Anet to make the episode missions longer and more detailed and not have missions where all it is, is just you talking to a few people and *BAM*mission over.

Just my thoughts.

I don’t think the 2 week schedule is the LW’s problem anymore. I feel I’d be less satisfied waiting a month for 40 minutes of content than getting 20 every two weeks.

The main thing is that your positive part rests upon the assumption that they only have those two weeks to work on the releases.

This is false.
As far as we know most of part 1 of Season 2 was already done before it even started.

The shortness of the chapters is more likely a design decision rather than a creation time issue.

True but I still think Living Story missions and other missions for that fact should be overhauled.

They main problem I have always had with Guild Wars 2 is how simple and short the PS missions and the LS mission are. I get them being simply is a way to allow more players to get into the game but longer missions that are more complex and what not doesn’t mean the missions being simply has to be sacrificed.

The games missions are way to focused at casual playing. Look at the mission from Guild Wars 1. To do a mission itself and skipping the bonus may take 15 mins or longer and doing the bonus it might take 20 mins or longer and you have to actually put thought and planning into how to complete the mission unlike the missions in Guild Wars 2 where you can charge in with your eyes closed, put no thought into it, spam skills and win in about 5 mins or so.
