People that know me know I have been extremely critical of how ANET has handled existing lore and story in Guild Wars 2. Primarily the absolute debacle that was living “story” season 1, and let’s be honest, Personal Story as well. To me both lacked depth and felt disconnected from the rich lore that existed in the Guild Wars universe.
Season 2 started off well in breaking that trend, and episode 5 just brought it up to a whole new level.
Color me impressed. It’s like ANET thought “Oh yeah, remember GW1?” and then built a lore rich story episode around the old lore that still tied into what we are doing today in a way that added so much interest and depth to the story. I really felt like I was back in the true world of Tyria as it was meant to be again. Episode 5 really took me back.
I literally spent hours in the Durmand Priory.
And GLINT’S LAIR!!!!
ANET, well done. Keep it up.
Though I do expect to one day stand victorious with my people after we have retaken our homeland, see signature to see which homeland.
