Guild Wars 2

In a game where the emphasis lies in being what you want to be and do what you want to do, i believe that the road you choose to take towards being a hero of tyria should be just as open and optional as the rest of the game. I do not dislike the story in guild wars 2 at any point (combat might be slow at some points) but i think there should be an option to stop tracking the story when there are story to be done. I do not mean that i want it taken away, nor have it “hidden” by standard, but have an option to “hide” the story and proceed map completion as regular. It has already caused me great frustration by not being able to track the last bits of an area and have to carefully study the map before finding one little detail to complete the area. It would be greatly appreciated if you at ArenaNet would add some small function to fix this small but frustrating problem.

You can do this already. Options – Content Finder – Disable Personal Story.

You can even tell it to ignore events if you’re just looking to map complete.

This is something I honestly didn’t know about until maybe a month ago, myself. There are quite a few things like this that are difficult to find. If you are ever unsure if a feature exists, the players helping players forum.
