Guild Wars 2

From the sounds of it it’s going to be changed to be like in the Chinese game where from what people are saying you unlock the level 1-10 storyline etc. at level 10.

This would be a bad thing.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has an incredibly easy time doing the Personal Story missions, even when doing missions that claim to be 5 or even sometimes 10 levels higher then the one I’m at. I sometimes enjoy trying to see just how far beyond my actual level I can get before the mobs just brutalize me.

Anet, if you dole out the personal story in chunks like your planning you’re going to remove a big part of the challenge to something that’s already basically so easy it’s more tedious then amusing.

I get that you’re trying to make the game better for people new to the game, honest. I think it’s great, but the personal story system is FINE the way it is. It’s been fine, other then needing better rewards.

Basically, stop holding the hands of all the new players ANet. It’s fine to add a better tutorial, and better rewards, but don’t kill the only challenge we were getting out of the Personal Story.

Let alone that pushing it back to Level 10 adds more awkward confusion than it would remove. I mean really, you take your sweet kitten time to let your friends know you are back under the living and let the worry about it until level 10? what a great hero you are!

If this is going to be coupled with changes to make it faster to level to 10, then I suppose it’s not a terrible plan, it gets people out in the world and trying dynamic events and trying out weapons and what not. Like an immersive tutorial before the game really starts up.

But man, the personal story was the fastest way to level! If that’s gone, then it’s going to be a huge grind unless they are going to make the first 10 much easier to get through.

It also helped give you ideas of where to go when leveling. Especially at later levels.

Exactly. Asian people seem to love this grindy crap though. I personally dont. but hey, it works in China, so we can just port that over to US/EU and they will love it, right? …right?

I very much hope 1-10 personal story is unlocked at lvl 1, or RIP key farming, RIP WP’s challenge, and welcome to ‘I created a new character – what do I do now? :S’

Honestly I really hope someone at ANet gets some sense and scraps the entire idea of giving us our storyline in chunks… it’s a horrible idea.
