Guild Wars 2

Hey guys

So I just finished the story and wanted to give you some detailed feedback about what I loved (and didn’t love) about the story quests. It’s kind of hard to decide where to start so I’m just going to make a list

What I LIKE about the story quests:
- Ofcourse the fact that you can make decisions in it.
- That other people can help you with your story, whether they have the same one or not.
- The cinematics, I like them more than the dialogues.
- The lore, I played GW1 aswell and I always liked the lore of it.
- The music, you chose the right songs for the right parts. (Maybe when playing Fear Not This Night at the end make sure you can only hear the music, it’s such a lovely song with great emotions in it)
- The bosses and dragons and stuff, all of them looked badass, loved it.
- The green icon that was used in GW1 too, it may sound crazy but I just love that icon.

What (in my opinion) could easily be improved:
- Okay, now I played the story. Imagine I loved one of the quests so much that I want to play it again…
- The option to read the dialogue you just watched again.
- The story has nothing to do with pvp, so why not bring the different worlds together with a LFG system or something similiar. If you want to play your story with strangers you basicly spend up searching an hour and then give up.

What I HATE about the story quests:
- The end. It was such a long and boring quest. You guys design this awesome dragon that has snakes coming out of its mouth and stuff. I was like sweet, this is going to be awesome. Then I end up spamming skill 2 on a stupid cannon with some epic music on the background. I was really kitten ed off because of this (and all the other quests where you just have to spam a skill, really really boring unless there’s something cool to watch whilst doing it. You’ve to be really carefull with this). Also, it was a quest where 5 people were needed. I played GW1 alot, there we had to put a teambuild together in order to kill Abaddon or something. Here it was just wait untill you’ve a party of 5 members and go, kind of disappointing… The previous bosses in the last quest were kind of boring too, throwing flaming orbs to a boss the whole time without dodging or anything, etc…)

In short lines:
Lovely, but there a few things that in my eyes really need to be improved/added (teamwork, LFG-system, no spamming parts unless there’s an awesome show going on).

Hey there, Microwave here!

What really annoyed me most about the Story Quest was the final fight with Zhaitan. I know hundreds of people have already said this, but I’ve always thought that the final confrontation with the dragon that it is the center of every race’s personal story and one of the main sources of Tyria’s current problems would be more sophisticated than just stand in an airship, spam the cannons and fend off the occasional mobs.

I too would like to be able to replay the chapters from the personal story, I can’t even remember the names of most of its participants. When Faren appeared in SSCove I didn’t immediately remember he was a key figure in the primoridal quests at DR, while being a noble born.

A LFG tool would solve problems such as spamming map chat searching for people, as well as rendering the LFG.com useless (by being incorporated in the game). Sadly, it won’t solve any of the PuG’s problems, the kittens will always be present whatever system is implemented.

I’d like to think that GW2 is far from refined, and much of our concerns will actually be heard and solutions be put into motion.

Alright, for some of your easy improvements. I do not know what channel it is in, but if you are in your main chat with every line open, you can usually see the dialogue from the cinematics as well as any random dialogue that happens throughout the story. I think it depends though, sometimes it is in the whisper chat line and sometimes it is in the map chat for me I believe.

I believe that there is an LFG system in the works, but I think they need to get it in order and implemented, lol. Another WvW update can wait a few weeks so they can get the LFG system going.

Definitely agree that we should be able to replay our storyline. When I started I had a crappy computer with terrible lag that just barely had the stats required to play the game at the lowest level. I would love to replay my main Sylvari’s story and see everything with fresh eyes (on my new computer that can run everything on max easily)

I just found out I accidentally posted this in Lore instead of Personal Story.

Then give me a +1 in the personal story forum
