Guild Wars 2

ArenaNet has recently announced how they are changing the Living World Season 2 and the future seasons with the introduction of Story Journal. This is great news! I have NEVER been excited for Living Story and was a huge advocate for it until now, and here is why:

#1. Living Story is a continuation of our Personal Story,

#2. Living Story content is separated from our open world contents even though they share the same theme.

#3. Living Story content is permanent and are repayable.

#4. You can unlock the Living Story Episode by logging in game for free.

#5. You never have to finish the Story Content during the 2 week open window anymore!

#6. Living World will continue to expand more and evolve the game world in the open world as we know.

#7. Meta-achievements are going to be removed and replaced with hardcore contents to earn achievements by repeating Living story episodes with higher difficulty

#9. You can take a break from the game, come back in a year and have tons to do without missing anything…

#10. Festivals and Holiday events are temporarily contents however they are no longer tied to the Living World Story.

#11. level 80 requirement is awesome. Now ArenaNet can focus on making endgame quality content and give more incentive for playing at higher levels!

ArenaNet, this is AWESOME!!!

Please check out the official post for more details regarding these aswesome changes here:

Most stuffs sound legit, but…

Can you explain number #6? Its contradicting with #2.

’#11 is a little bit too late (like 15 months) but better than never, I guess.

Fascinating, it appears as if some devs finally found some brain, just about a year too late. Now they just need to write a halfway intelligent story and add some real content to the game and Unliving Story S2 might be a bit more than a total failure like S1.

This is excellent news! I actually stopped playing gw2 as I didn’t have the time to get through the content. Now that I’ll be able to do it at my own pace I can’t wait!

It is too soon for judgement. I wouldn’t praise something I haven’t seen yet.

Not a contradiction at all.
Living Story is based on episodes like instanced which the players will continue after their personal story which expands the game while the open world content is non-instanced based which evolves the game.

The story content is instanced based while the open world content is just based on the theme of that episode.

I hope this helps
