I think the living story needs a rework content every 2 weeks, that can be done in one day is not good! for more info have a look at my video here: http://youtu.be/OIgiLVROmT4
Living Story is good, and it’s fine, yes.
However, it doesn’t become good if this is all we will get, especially not when the main things are temporary.
As said, the way Living Story works now, is fine, but it will not work if it will continue like this forever without any big expansion like reveal. It’s not going to survive the next year with the coming MMOs.
You might say ‘’These new MMOs coming looks/are kitten’’, maybe they are, but it will still bring people over there.
I like the game, but nothing since Zephyr Sanctum have had a real ’’HOOMPH’’ behind it, so to say.
The coming Fractured patch sounds cool, but honestly, most of the features sounds more of a minor patch fix.
Something worth noting: Just because it can be done in a day, doesn’t mean it will be done in a day by each player. If you can only play a couple large sessions a week, or lots of small ones, it might not be such a bad thing to have relatively quick main objectives (reach the top of the tower, fight the hybrid, do enough achievements to earn gas mask) while still providing additional bonuses for prolonged play. (More achievements/AP, achievement-based mini krait, rare drops like spore backpiece and breathing mask, everything you can make/buy with Toxic Spores, etc.)
It does mean that you can finish most of the particularly exciting content quickly in Tower of Nightmares, but that’s not strictly a bad thing for everyone.
Some releases certainly hit that balance better than others, but I think Tower of Nightmares and The Nightmares Within were okay about it.
