its way to short and very dumb whit all do respect arena net what iq do the people have that write this kitten ? the end is terrible EACH DRAGON HAS A WEEK POINT wow YEY when we whent into killing them we al; hope they dont have that and we kill them whit swords in their feet hahahaha . 30 min thac how long i need it to do all the 16 quests to short to dumb and you dont fight even a real dragon also u kill him in HIS MIND hahahah and u discover that how ? and you can enter in his mind HOW ? so many things back in gw2 vanila left and not touched terrible story telling terrible. sorry for bad english but this game story telling is joke like 12 years write this script as well the only good thing that i kind of expect it was killing EIR cool character in the books that is in game she is basically mentali ILL person that docent do kitten .
I dunno where the story will go but for expansion . way to short story and dumb story whit shady ending not explaining basic things how what where who …. is extreme BAD in my guild we all speak about this 300 people asking basic things where is the story for the mist and how he became revenant , the sivlary from the outer tree that will come back whit army where the hell is that guy , the exalted they dont do kitten they are like flying yellow guys that look cool and dont do kitten in the game there is so little story behind them none of them doing anything at all fun ,i was epxrcting something cool whit them , where are the bandits or white mantle that we had hints about .
Season 2 had more story that you set up before the exp i was hoping huge epic finale from there but instead that we got this week story telling way to short and kitten ending jesus people hire some one that knows to write script this is extreme bad even indi games have better story whit way less budget to develop things also maybe is time to place quests for story and lore the end is deusex when you dont know to tell or explain something you get that kitten million plot holes and way to narrow story.
It feels rushed and i find it hard to even think what the future will bring when they give us kitten shallow kitten on us im not exited at all about the story what else we will see zaitan was bad pressing 2 this is something better but where is the dragon that we saw after killing Scarleth nothing empty NADA …

First of all, your text is very difficult to read, not because of “bad English” or anything (it’s not my mother tongue either) but the lack of punctuation.

I take from your text that you are unhappy with the story telling in the expansion – most of all that the story is too short and leaves too many questions unanswered. I’ve read that before on the forums, so I guess you are not alone with that.

As far as I understood from announcements, interviews, blog posts, etc. there will be further living story episodes once ANet has finished the polishing of HoT (bugfixing, balancing and such). The story will move on through raid instances as well (which take place right after the “ending” of the HoT main story). So it’s not over yet – the open ending cinematic hinted at that as well.

Regarding the fight against the “dragon” – I don’t know if you already did the Dragon’s Stand (fourth map) meta event. But if you didn’t, I’d recommend to you to go there and have a look at it.

I tend to chak it up to (look at me making HoT puns XD ) posting angry. Which is kinda sad since at least some of his points although hyperbolic (well I’m using hyperbolic in the rather plebeian sense) are accurate.

Yeah but I’ve been wondering, should ANet address plot threads in LS S3 or would it be better to not focus on S3 but rather to add additional chapters to the HoT PS address some of the more major plot-holes. Although doing so would open ANet to more angry posts about how they ‘sold a broken / incomplete product’, maybe doubling down and say ‘well HoT is how we wanted it to be’ might in terms of PR be the better choice… I’d still imagine that many issues could be addressed by adding another chapter here or there which would provide clarification or expansion on certain details so they don’t feel like they come out of the blue.

Well, yeah. It’s clear the OP was angry while creating this thread. I didn’t mean to offend with my remark. I merely mentioned it in case I missed something in the post on the first read trough.

I definitely understand where the OP is coming from. The story doesn’t feel complete at this point. I’m still putting my hopes in the next few “story steps”, be it raids, living story or further personal story chapters.

Maybe it’s a bit of both. Adding a few chapters inbetween for clarification and then continue through LS 3.

The best would be an overhaul of the core personal story, LS 1 (to make it accessible to newcomers who missed it), LS 2 (e.g. to solve the plot hole regarding Mordremoth’s name suddenly being known to everyone without ever mentioning it before), maybe additional chapters to the HoT story… Basically: rounding things up a bit. Currently the story can be very confusing, especially for those who missed out on LS 1.

So basically I agree with the OP to a certain degree, but think it’s too early to judge the HoT story since it isn’t complete yet. In my opinion they learned a lot since the personal story and LS 1. The overall quality of the story, presentation, voice acting etc. seems to have improved. I liked how they dealt with the mechanics of the last fight in HoT and how it somehow ties in with the DS meta event. The last fight didn’t feel right until I did the meta event though (that’s why I recommended it to the OP).
