Guild Wars 2

Hey all, Sages here.
Looking back on Living World Season 1 where scarlet attacked lions arch, i remember the huge battles we had against the Molten Alliance, Aetherblades, and the Toxic Alliance. The impact it had on the world was seen throughout Tyria not just in Lions Arch, after the fight with Scarlets minions and the death of Scarlet herself. Lions Arch was left in ruin.

I would like to see Living World Season 3 return to the idea that events actually impact Tyria instead of this map meta thing we see going on in the HoT maps where you do the event and it resets, I am asking for permanent change. Change that makes the players actually feel like their efforts made a difference weather it be in a good or bad way.

If we failed to defend some thing, make it known. Make the consequences obvious, for example. The large scale destruction of Lions Arch and the awakening of a new elder dragon.

If we succeed, make that known as well. If we stand up against a enemy that threatens all of Tyria and we beat them, force them to retreat and perhaps even have some of them defect to our side. but do so with caution as it could be a way to set up even more future events.

These are the types of things i would like to see happen again in GW2, things that made the game unique when they did happen. As it made the world actually feel like things were effecting it when they did happen.

Hope You all leave positive suggestions and even positive criticism for my suggestion.
Thanks,

The huge open world events from Season 1 were amazing, I loved them so much and I think they’re really what made me fall in love with this game. (I would love to see a better video recap of Season 1 at least in the story journal also!)

I can understand why they moved to small story instances in Season 2, it makes it so they can be replayed and they can have the chapters available in the gem store later for those who missed them… obviously they can’t bring back the big open world parts from Season 1 like that, it wouldn’t work out.

I would love to see a mix of both of those in Season 3. Give us the story instances like in Season 2, but on occasion throw in some big world event like Season 1 had that’s a lot of fun for everyone. Asking for that is… well asking for a lot, I get it, but I would love to see that if it was ever possible.

Absolutely, a mix would be a great way to do it too. we could have the best of both worlds for it, instanced and open world. giving people the opportunity to experience what LS1 was all about as well as having permanent content like LS2.

I agree with both of your points, I was to low level to properly experience Season 1 and I never did Season 2, so in that sense I am hoping Season 3 will be something big and special.

A random note to those of you that missed Season 2 and may not want to buy it for the achievements/etc: If you just wanna play through the story, anyone who has the chapters unlocked can take you in to the instances with them even if you don’t have it! When I found this out I thought it was great, I had a friend who didn’t care about the achievements but missed out on the story and it was great that I could show him it.

Please no, the story is broken enough as it is. Huge chunks of it are missing and there’s plot holes all over the place thanks to Living Story S1.

Imagine being a new player and having to deal with this. To come into a game where you can barely follow the lore and are thrown from one team of heroes (DE) to the next (DE2.0, who you don’t even know) without any explanation.

You can do permanent changes on a temporary basis. But they need to reset every now and then so that the game can have a future. As fun as it may have been, LS1 effectively set the game back an entire year. That year almost doesn’t exist in the game’s current state aside from Scarlet destroying LA and awakening Mordremoth and that was pretty much only at the very end of LS1.

Its also likely thanks to this that HoT was so rushed and hodge-podge.

I’d like to see the rest of Destiny’s Edge killed off, retired, run out of town… what? I’m only saying what we’re all thinking! They’re soap opera drama queens. And their bad decisions have got a lot of people hurt. :p

Taimi’s the best. And I saw her first. >:(

Canach is okay. I like his bad boy image. And Braham too. On missions with them at least they ress me. Not like DE who just stand around looking smug, except Logan who’s standing around looking horny or sleepy. It’s hard to tell with him.

I do gotta admit, i like Taimi.. shes got character where the others are just.. bland.
