They always started there. At least I remember going there way too often.
Nope, you needed to go to each location through Orr itself. At least that is if I might not be going insane. Which I think I am not… But that is what an insane person would say… OHHHHH darn…

Wouldn’t that be cool if we can get the land of Orr to slowly recover?
Yes.
I personally think it would be sad for Orr not to change a bit if ever LA will be rebuilt.
But the thing to consider is, what about others who haven’t finished their personal story? Should they see a recovering Orr even though Zhaitan is well alive on their arc?

You didn’t read the whole post?
As mentioned, most PS instances start from Fort Trinity airship since NPE. So most of the time you aren’t running through Orr anymore, its instanced instead.

New Player Experience. It’s a long story, but suffice it to say that a lot of the changes in the September feature pack were… unwelcomed.
Big problem with trying to instance all the Orr missions is that when you enter an instance, it makes a copy of the current map and adds in the monsters (and maybe some barriers that’ll change). If you start cleaning up Orr, at least from a landscape perspective, it’d still be cleaned in the instance. Honestly, this is one of those situations where Orr will never be cleansed properly, just like the Charr-Human treaty will never be formalized as events are tied to it, and it’s part of the Vigil’s storyline. I still say that if you want some demonstrable cleansing of Orr, it’d have to be either an instanced part of the map (only accessable if the PS is complete) or add a new map past the current Orrian ones.

Also your specs are super close to mine and GET AN SSD! :P
I can’t, I need to get a new computer. My case is too dusty, and the Intel fan is a stock fan, which means it heats up like crazy, and the GPU is dying, Sound Card (Motherboard Integrated) is also dying and the DVD Drive is over 5 years old, the Harddrive is having Sector Errors.
As for the NPE, I know what you mean now. So basically these things:
— Disallowing players to turn into a golem in the asuran starting area for that one Heart, instead forcing the golem to be an NPC that follows you around.
— Removal of the RC Golem Mini game.
— Removal of water buckets from that farm in Queensdale, which DISSALLOWS YOU TO REPAIR / HEAL THE HAY BALES IN THAT ONE DYNAMIC EVENT AS A RESULT.
I could go on.

They could, after the Orr cleansing mission, make the environment look like it’s healing for your character (add a live plant here and there, sunny skies, ect.) only you can see this, anyone else who hasn’t done the mission it would look the same as always.
After the completion of the PS they could then have all the mobs in Orr (maybe even all the risen mobs everywhere else too) have yellow tags, they only attack you if you attack them or are grouped with someone who attacks them. This would add to the feeling of Zhaitan’s waning influence.
The world must change. If Anet can create a separate instance for the old Orr, great. If they can’t, then let the content be lost. We will win more than we lose anyway.
I think the very notion of “permanent content” is flawed: We don’t need “permanent” content. We need “engaging”, “fun” and “challenging” content. Orr isn’t any of these three anymore.

Existing content doesn’t have to be removed for the world to change. I would rather they add new content in new zones and leave the existing world as is for those who like that. It’s been what, about two years since Zhaitan was killed, how much do people think Orr will have really changed in two years?
