Guild Wars 2

The Election patch was the most memorable storywise because it mobilized the playerbase to become connected to what was happening.

And they did this because they were able to make a choice. Kiel or Gnashblade.

Every patch should make use of this.

For example: Flame and Frost- Choose between Dredge and Flame Legion, who is least to blame? If Dredge win, CoF gets attacked and the entrance is changed forever. No actual content changes. If Flame Legion win then a few dredge caves are obliterated and random wildlife replaces dredge spawns.

Those who voted for FL get a Flame Legion mini. Those who voted Dredge get a Dredge mini.

Return to Southsun- Consortium or Refugees.

2nd Halloween- Mad King or Bloody Prince.

Doing this would encourage players to think about the nuances of the story as presented. Instead of “refugees good, consortium bad” you’d actually have liking the Consortium be a valid option, and that would put Kiel’s actions in a completely different light.

Right now the Living Story is a sequence of events. You run through them, get the meta, and then forget them.

I remember the election. I remember who I voted for and why. Giving players choice enhances entertainment by making them engaged with what is happening beyond how to kill the next pack of mobs.

Why?

I do not know, I resented the war Evon / kiel … How to explain … I lack the words.
I had wrong to argue in English … I can not argue in English, my feelings.

And divide the community every two weeks? Pour the oil into “fake vote” theory machine? No, tyvm.
We could have Abaddon, and now we have more Scarlet…
Oops. Sorry.

Content is started 4 months before it is released. This makes it impossible for a vote every 2 weeks unless they make 2 versions of every release. It also was said it divides the community greatly. That being said I would also like more votes but I imagine it is very difficult for Anet to do

Good job on reading the title and not what was actually written.
