Guild Wars 2

I been “gone” for over a year. I logged in occasionally, and I saw some of the Living Story, bought some Gem Store things, but I mainly missed the whole thing. Every character, every convo, every cutscene.

Coming back in, nothing is really special or new, just a reminder I missed everything and “here are the changes”.

I never saw the post, but I heard in a discussion about GW2 opening in China, someone asked about the Living Story and the Chinese market—if they’d be able to see the LS and participate, or they’d just join the game in the middle. The answer was “we may make old LS revisitable”.

Anyone able to confirm that hope was uttered?

I can see it being an option in the Personal Story that makes the players go to an alternate map where the events are unfolding.
It could be placed in the mists, as just floating maps in time.
It could be placed in the Fractals, making the content revisitable, but on a 5 man scale (tuning the old content into challenging events).

It feels a bit off to be a supporter of the game monetarily, but unable to enjoy the content. I can watch Youtube videos, but I could do that for the entire game. There is also the issue of the huge Achievement gap made by the LS being time sensitive. Playing at a slower pace and making up missed content doesn’t detract from those who accomplished their personal goals.

Also, without going into it, life happens. It is just… sad… to have something of high entertainment now be exclusive because of tragedy. You want to return and enjoy some gaming, and it is now no longer “your” community.
