Guild Wars 2

Thread revive of a old topic that was posted.

The personal story and presentation is utterly dreadful, and I cannot believe the overall plot of it was approved for release.

The script writing in the plot is tragic, and the voice acting even more dull. There are no interesting points or well portrayed scenes throughout the entirety of the personal story, on any race. In fact, the BEST scene I have actually watched, was from the living story, which was the ending of it.

All I can say is… What happened?… The GW1 story, plot and portayal was far better in every aspect, although it obviously had its faults as others have said. (Danika)

Just revamp it… You lose a serious amount of gamers who would be interested in the overall lore and style of GW2, to be put off by crappy and cheesy non-sense being spouted in each uninteresting scene. I know about 7 people in the small town where I live, who all stopped playing because the personal story immersion was so poor, they felt like they were playing a game unfinished.

I’d love to hear back…

Though the entirety of the PS may not be the best, I feel some parts are rather well done.

I’m not sure how easy it would be to revamp the entire PS, nor how cost- and/or time-effective it would be.

I’d rather the Devs work on new projects, personally.

There are a couple good moments, but “good” at best.

I agree, it could be very costly. Whilst it would be highly beneficial to revamp it, a new project or expansion could be done, provided the previous lessons were learnt..

I mean, if GW2 was never going to have any immersive stories or plot that has actually been thoroughly worked on, in comparison to GW1, then I would want to know right now, so I can pack my bags and stop wasting my time playing. The game is great, but it’s falling so short of being really memorable.

All we can hope for is that Anet will do a better job whenever the next personal story is released, and allow us to attribute the current bad PS to time restraints associated with launching the game. However i do feel the “mistakes” of the current PS are inherent to whoever wrote it, meaning should that same person or team be allowed to write the next PS it will still be bad no matter how much time they have to work on it, at the end of the day you dont have to be a genius to see whats wrong with the PS, fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again.
