Guild Wars 2

Here’s the thing, as much as you may like or hate the levelling storyline, the bigger issue is that it may increasingly get in the way to new expansion content.

New races will be harder to implement if you must create new storylines for their respective personal stories.

As we get further in GW2’s story, the original story of Zhaitan’s defeat will become less necessary to the following events. Imagine if we’re three expansions in, and we’re still starting with Zhaitan’s defeat, while new races and classes continue to make the story make less and less sense, and we’re already walking over an Elder Dragon corpse or two.

We’ve already seen problems with the ruined Lion Arch in personal story, for example. While some implementation of phasing may provide some fixes, if Anet wants to keep changing things, it’ll continue to make less sense.

I dunno, it’d suck, but maybe it’s time to let that part of the game die. Ideally it’d be nice to just make a whole new personal story, but that would be a huge undertaking. Still, if Anet was up for it, maybe if we get a second expansion or something, I’d love it.

But perhaps if they’re looking for more endgame than levelling experience, it might be best to let if fall by the wayside.

When player post these kind of, “toss it all and start over”, threads, do they even begin to consider HOW this could possibly work in an existing game or WHERE the resources to even consider this kind of game-wide sweeping changes would come from?

It is not difficult to totally ignore the NPE Personal Story if you like (most veteran players that don’t enjoy the leveling process already do).

You dont really have to let it die you can still have it there and have people go back in time in the mists…. we are already fighting an endless ancient war in the mist anyway (spvp)
