Guild Wars 2

The confusion I reference is for example – being in LA talking to Destinys Edge and not knowing why the city is destroyed.
Going to Kessex hills and seeing ruins everywhere of the Tower.
The outposts that have been destroyed by Mordremoth.

Poor new players are going to feel left out and the need to catc up -which is exactly what anet doesn’t what.

Is there a way to sort this out while maintaining the immersion for current upto date players?

They’ll release the season 1 at somepoint.. that should tell the new players what happened

Also technical limitations. They use the actual version of LA because it’s easier. Forcing to re-use the original maps will make the game a bit bloated on hard drives.
