Guild Wars 2

EDIT: Title should have said LW S2

I really like the build-up of the story here. It feels really well built. It’s suitably tense. The fights are great. The dialog is awesome and the cutscenes are really well done. I can see an issue though. My prognostications may be off, but if I am correct, please take my thoughts into consideration.

I really liked the LA fight with Scarlet. That was a great open world action piece. The issue? It was temporary. Scarlet’s dead. She ain’t coming back and either is that content. I understand why it happened though. She died and the battle was over with her because of how the story was written. Are we headed for a similar fight at the end of this season that will be around for 2 weeks to a month? I think it would be a mistake if that’s the case. Content like that needs to remain permanent and because of that the story needs to be designed so that the content can remain in the game. Example: Tequatl and The Wurm. People do those fights over and over and they are rewarded for that. With the Lion’s Arch fight, we get this big map-wide fight and then it ends and that content is gone. Silverwastes has added a nice map-wide struggle and that’s great, but if you guys are building us towards a big crescendo ending I would advise that the big fight should stay in the game as permanent content. This game can’t get enough new, permanent content added to it at this stage in its lifespan. It needs rewards that match those of Teq and the Wurm as well as achievements. I don’t want to play a year’s worth of LW content only to get a fight that is only around for 2 weeks to a month and then get nothing for another few months. Heck, LA hasn’t even been cleaned up yet and now I don’t want it to be because I want all hands to be focusing on new maps, not another redesign of LA.

I hope you guys take this into account. Thanks.
