Guild Wars 2

Been gone from the game for over a year,

I have thus missed the destruction of lions arch and many important aspects of the game. The story journal is precisely why I have decided to return to the game, the ability to experience the living world as if I had not missed it is a truly fantastic amazing idea and it is a ‘deal maker’ for me to invest in a long future with Guild Wars 2.

I even have no problem forking out my credit card number to unlock the events I missed for 200 crystals. Small price to pay IMO for the convenience.

I plan to start a brand new level 1 character (Rather than return to my level 80 necro that has 100% exploration etc) and re-do the entire map etc from scratch.

My only concern is that apparently season 1 is not ‘yet’ implemented into the story journal and because when season 1 content was launched story journal was not considered as a necessary support function I can understand the backporting necessary to do make it work.

I want to ensure that I do not return to the game before Season 1 is fairly soon to be ready. Starting fresh it may take me a couple weeks to hit 80 and finish the character story etc, by then I want to be able to jump into Season 1 (before doing any season 2).

Is there any idea how long it’s going to be until season 1 is ready for story journal?

TL;DR (Short Version): When will season 1 content be available for crystal purchase via story journal?

Thanks

It may be quite some time before Season One will be available (if ever). The Devs have stated that would love to change the content to make it usable through the Journal, but have no one working on it at this time. When they do commit resources to that project, they will have to figure out some way to change all the Open World content to make it replayable, or make it just a story…or something.

You can watch/listen to the Devs speak about it on the Twitch Livestream addressing the ‘Journal’.

If you truly want to wait, you might consider at least logging in during each Season Two Episode release time period, to save having to purchase each Episode later.

Totally, your choice, though. Good luck.

Thank you for your response.

I had no idea that they were not currently working on it. Well, in that case, does someone know of a youtube video or a source that covers all the details (ideally a video where I can watch it play out in game as if I had experienced it myself) of season 1 so that I can appreciate season 2 proper?

I am a VERY story driven player and to just skip a whole season of content that bridges my characters story that is available with the start of season 2 is not an option for me.

Thanks again

Yea for a game that boosts that it goes for the story it sure dose seem to leave out 100% of it’s new players from even understanding what is going on i just gave up trying to even find out what was even going on and who was scarlet to the point i wish they would let me skip all the stuff like i could with normal story instead of having to wait for them to get done talking about stuff i never was apart of since they made stuff limited time offers like idiots

To me it’s like making a novel but only letting ppl buy it for a month then remove it then make the 2ed one and aspect lots of new sales from ppl who did not get the first book

I’d suggest WoodenPotatoes. He has done a lot of living story based videos on YouTube.

Also this page here has a ton of info: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_season_1

Thanks

Yep I heard about WoodenPotatoes youtube videos.

I spent quite some time browsing through his youtube page but unfortunately I have been unable to disseminate which ones I am looking for.

The only one that I have been able to identify is his Epilogue to Season 1 video. But no idea which videos on there cover the actual season 1 story content that I need to watch. The videos are not really labeled based on story feature and seem more patch timeline categorized.

If anyone knows precisely which videos pertain to the full storyline of season 1 I would be so incredibly grateful for that list.

Thanks again!

This has all the info you’ll need (if in a more unentertaining media).

There is a list on the right that shows all the releases from season 1 in order, you should be able to match each release name to the name of the video wooden potatoes made about it.

Some releases are just holidays, where nothing about the story really progresses. (except dragonbash).
