HoT needed an epilogue; and time paradoxes
sadly this was intended so they can continue the story in Season 3.
Think HoT as Part 1 of the story and Season 3 as Part 2.
i didnt think it as mess, i think history mode as something separate for core world.
But i agree on needed epilogue. the egg stuff has enough mistery link with a future Season 3. no need to left the characters end for Season 3. i vote for patch with some epilogue.
I’ve been told if you go into the helix map after finishing the final instance, and go to talk to the people at the top their dialogue changes. I think the only real one I’ve heard that was interesting was Caithe returning to the Pale Tree to deliver the news of Trahearne’s death and the jungle dragon’s death.

HoT is part 3.
Season 1 was part 1, Season 2 was part 2, HoT is part 3.
And it seems obvious that the Scarlet/Mordremoth arc isn’t finished.
And if it is, then kitten do Anet needs new writers because come on.
On a related note, just as Orr, now the Maguuma is stuck in its own time bubble. Central Tyria in another, with some time bubbles mixed here and there. It’s starting to become a horrible mess and I can’t even begin to imagine what it’ll be when more updates come.
Every single mess is stuck in their own time bubble.
And that bubble only changes when the living world affects the zone.
Fields of Ruin? Mount Maelstrom? Bloodstone Coast? Harathi Hinterlands? etc. They’re all still in 1325 AE.

Rytlock also asks us to go after Kralkatorrik.
Braham asks us to go after Jormag.
Canach mentions returning to Anise and requesting freedom.
Marjory is the only one who’s rather meh with her dialogue. A bit of closure about her sister, that’s all.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

We’re left with a big cliffhanger, that will be continued in some months maybe like a few hours passed by, despite having other world events transcurring on normal schedule (Wintersday).

We did need an epilogue of some kind, but the “zone time bubbles” happen in every MMO. While it would be nice for them to sporadically update areas to match the new timeline, it would be very costly in time, money, and resources to do at any sort of reasonable rate. Especially given the number of areas we have at the moment. Developers just think those resources could be better spend elsewhere.
