Guild Wars 2

I know ‘season 1’ of Living Story was all done as ‘live’ in-world events and I realize the amount of work I’m about to request.

It would be awesome if season 1 was ‘redone/remastered’ as instanced ‘episodes’ so players who didn’t get to see it (other than the recap NPC version) could enjoy it.

Obviously the large group events that were in it would need to be re-worked for single player/small groups.

Edit: Oops, I see someone else did this request already with a much better post than mine at http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/gw2/Remaking-Season-1-Story-Suggestion

They have said they would like to bring LS1 back in the same format as LS2. I dont know if it will ever happen of course, but they would like to.

it won’t happen anytime soon… anet put all their proverbial eggs in the HoT basket

I felt disconnected from HoT and LS2 because I don’t really know my own “friends” do “we” even have a name?

Would be nice to actually meet the team.

Maybe even a quick version of instances crammed into an adventure box style “interactive history lesson”. But I guess anet has more important things to do than make season 1 playable and sell it for 10 bucks.

And we would love it. I’d love to redo the history that led to this, especially the old dungeons (yes, I know there are fractal versions of htem, BUT IT’S NOT THE SAME!).

Exactly this! I missed everything from the Living Story Season 1 except for the refugee part at the very start. At some point after it, I signed into the game, got that final explosive cutscene, was rather alienated as I had no idea what was going on and ended up in a completely destroyed Lion’s Arch. Did I mention I was already alienated before the cutscene ended?
Yeah. Stranding in a Lion’s Arch in ruins didn’t help.

Then, Season 2 happened and I knew none of the characters that I already should have known. None at all. I decided to postpone playing Season 2 until I caught up, which simply didn’t happen. Now Heart of Thorns is out, and I’m reluctant to play that because I know neither Season 1 nor Season 2, i.e. I have no idea what led to what’s about to happen…at least no idea in an even remotely relatable way.

Actually playing through Season 1 would give me all the more reason to get back into GW2 for real rather than for an evening or two per month.
