Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is where to post this but…

I’ve went through LW S2 on my warrior before HoT was even announced and I like the new allies and all, but… I feel a bit lost on who exactly they are. LW S2 barely explains the group the toon joined/formed with the other characters(Braham, Rox, Taimi, etc.). But I felt lost from the start of LW S2(personally) I know that it has a clip that explains S1. But I personally prefer going through the whole thing myself over watching a small summery. I suggest adding LW S1 to the gem store. There are also those who did have the chance to play throu it that did not have the time to fully complete the whole story line. So this is an idea to consider. Add the LW S1 to the gem store for us who have not been able to play or complete to buy and fully experience.

The problem with LS1 is that most of it was large area open world content, such as the map invasions, the Marionette and the fall of Lions Arch. There was very little instanced stories such as they have now. It would be extremely difficult to make the large map sized content for a map full of people scale down to single player instanced content.

My guess is that the best they will be able to do is put in an NPC that you can interact with and he tells you the history and shows video clips for you to see.

LW S1 consisted mostly of temporary open-world events, it functioned entirely different than S2. It can’t just be added to the gem store. If Anet could do that, they would’ve by now. The official word is that they are looking at ways of re-adding LS1’s content but no active development on that front is going on. If Anet finds a way of adding LS1 again, it will probably take months of development time so it won’t be back any time soon (if it will be back at all).

That is exactly what they did: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Remembering_Scarlet's_War

Oh, ok. I wasn’t aware of it mostly being events. and the "Remembering Scarlets War was the clip that I was refering to “I know that it has a clip that explains S1.”.

Yea, the clip is all that can be added. They were pretty much all temporary open world events. It would take a lot of work to instance all of that. Very little of it was actually instanced. The parts that were have been added as fractals and/or Aetherblade path in TA.

I’d still love a guild mission that was of the Marionette. That fight was so awesome.

There were at least two instances that haven’t been added as fractals or as a dungeon path; the one where you help Rox (and meet Frostbite) and the one where you help Braham. Oh and there was that fight with Canach at Southsun. I’m probably forgetting some things.

Edit: The fight against the krait boss at the top of the Tower of Nightmares was instanced as well.
