Guild Wars 2

I’m glad the devs chose to work on Living World over legendaries.

I play GW 2 primarily for the lore aspect, doing things like World Comp, Story Missions, Events, and Mini Dungeons, ect.. So for me, the choice to focus on Living World Season 3 over Legendaries was preferred.

However, I think overall, it was the best decision because expanding the story opens up doors to much more content including new legendaries further down the line.

If they had kept all their work on legendaries, the expansion of the game, going further out into new areas of Tyria, exploring new things, all of that would take so much longer.

I want to thank the Devs for their decision. I know some would still prefer legendaries as it was mentioned in promoting the expansion, but I think we’ve been given enough since, and right now we need something that will move the game much further ahead overall.

We also need to get into the underwater aspect of the game. It needs a lot more work and I would like to find out something, anything more about the underwater dragon.

I really doubt that canning legendaries had any visible impact on the speed of release for LS.

It’s hard to know exactly what impact on the game was achieved by cancelling work on 12 legendaries. We don’t know if that freed up artists or QA or coders or story tellers or collection designers or all of the above. We don’t know if those people were re-allocated to working on the existing collections (which suffer from numerous bugs) or on fixing the many problems in gameplay in the HoT maps. Or maybe they all went to work on the second expac or on LS3.

All we can say is: it hasn’t seemed to hurt the rest of the game.

If this LS is garbage then canning legendaries was a huge mistake. This patch is going to keep players or slowing bleed them.

TBH, the devs were going to focus and create living story 3 regardless. Some of them are even working on the second expansion, as said by the anet dev guest host on the recent community showcase.
