Guild Wars 2

Season zero, or the personal story line at release, is an understandable story. The story progression can be followed and it makes sense to a certain extent…

However, once this has been completed, and you start season Two, you are in the dark.
Who the hell are Kasmeer and Marjory? Who in heaven’s name is Taimi and Roxy?

These personalities are completely new and you have no idea who they are. A cutscene would make a lot of sense between these two completely different story lines… I’m glad I played parts of season 1, or else I wouldn’t understand WHAT IN DWAYNA’S NAME was happening here…

I’m just saying, it makes little sense. The immersion is… broken if you want a complete experience. People have to somehow log out of the game, watch video’s of previous events so they can understand the story before it even begins.

It’s just a shame… SO MUCH effort was put in Season 1, and little to none of it can be seen or replayed… Such a shame.

They’ve said they want to put season 1 into the format season 2 is in, but as it wasn’t designed that way it’s going to take time to reformat it. I hope it does come back….it’ll help make season 1 feel way less disjointed too.

I truly hope so. It’s a necessity if they ever want to be respectable if it comes to GW2 being a game with a good story. (Don’t get me wrong, the story is amazing! But only if you have played through season 1, which now is still temporary content)

Yes, they’ve said they want to re-do it. In recent interviews Colin has further stated that they won’t start working on it until sometime after the expansion release (because they are 100% focused on the expansion right now).

In the mean time, they do have a couple of Season 1 recap vids out there, and a couple of pretty decent news blogs too. I know, I know, should be in the game for players to reference (I’ve commented as such many times before), but getting all that info into games seems to be a failing for a lot of companies. Not just Anet.

I haven’t even gotten to do most of the living world story, because I would have to buy it, and that isn’t going to happen with it’s current cost.

If you have friends that have done it, just ask them to run through it. You can tag along and experience it all through them. Costs you nothing.

Or you could purchase them with gold too…which just costs you time.

Didn’t they have an NPC in LA (or somewhere) that showed a recap cut-scene (of sorts)? Has it been removed? I’m not very good at NPCs, so I just don’t remember…

S1 would be wonderful.
But a Cutscene is probably the least they could do to bridge PS and S2.

They definitely need at least a cutscene before the expansion comes out.
