What exactly is Living World Season 2?
Its just a story arc. It has it’s own achievements and rewards though (mawdrey and the carapace armor set)
Just a story arc with unique rewards and achievements. It technically takes you through the latest new zones, but they are accessible whether or not you purchase the Living Season.
It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….
From my understanding, there are two types of stories.
The first one is your personal story, which is your character story, just like the story mode of single player game. It will repeat every single time a new character is created, as long as you choose the same path.
The other one is the story of the world, aka the Living World. This is the story of the world we are playing in, Tyria. This does not repeat. If you missed it, you missed it, supposedly. Just like the events in the real world, the car accident happened on the street is happened, with or without you.
So, back to the game. Living world season 1 left permanent effect in Tyria, the destroyed Lion’s Arch. That is not replay-able because it is technically impossible to have Lion’s Arch destroyed for some players, and not destroyed for some other players. Anet took a different approach (put it in instances??) to LW season 2, which makes it replay-able. Players who were there (logged in), when LW season 2 is ACTUALLY happening, get the content for free. Those who did not, like you and me, have to PAY for it (WHY ANET? WHY???).
I am a new player too and I am still grinding gold hoping one day I will have enough gold to buy the gems required for LW season 2. So, please correct me if I am wrong.
If one purchases this, is it for all characters?
