Guild Wars 2

I’m one of those who could care less about story or dialogue…

The fact that Season 2 has been a TON of unskippable talking drives me nuts.

I only want to play the game… I only do the Living Story for 2 reasons.
1) get the green message off from the top right corner of my screen
2) get the easy AP and rewards.

I only play the LS for the story, please remove the easy AP and rewards and include more dialogue please!

You want a story with less dialogue?

That’s like asking for a First Person Shooter with less guns and enemies.

You only want to play the game.
Living Story is part of the game.
Therefore, you want to play Living Story.

Your logic is unsound.

I can relate to the OP’s complaints, I find the problem is not about wanting to skip the dialogue, it’s wanting to skip boring dialogue. Its just not interesting like a book you bought but are struggling to get through it. You soldier on ahead hoping that it will get better, only to find the more you progress through the chapters the next one is just as slow paced as the last.

They have to start thinking bigger and more epic. Organizing a council meeting? that’s lame. They have turned my character into some kind of UN ambassador.

I too could care less about the dialogue. A lot less. I’m hoping there’s more of it in future episodes. I’ve really been enjoying all of it.

No, no, no. More dialogue is better. I play the Living World episodes for the story, not for the achievements. The achievements are fun little things to do after I complete the story, but they are far from being the main reason I play each episode. That, and I also happen to like weapon and armor skins, so those sorts of rewards tend to draw me in as well. And I love titles, give us more titles, ArenaNet!

Did you know, that if you don’t start the LS, there is no green message?

The obvious solution to make everybody happy is to keep the dialogue, but allow players to skip it if they don’t want to wait.

The only thing I agree with you on is the skipping

you should have the option to skip the movie clips specially on the second playthrough

but cutting down story dialogue? hell no we need more of that
if you are not interested in the story or lore then that’s your problem although personally I don’t even know why you bother play RPG’s if that’s the case but each to their own

We need more story though but we also need the option to skip the cutscenes
then everybody is happy

More titles yes

Just look at thirst slayer.. the hell man why aint there no title for that
they expect us to pay all that cash and karma for all those drinks, wear out several mice through thousands of double clicks only to say yay I just wasted a solid months worth of cash and karma and my right hand is crippled and all i got was a couple of Achievement points and nothing to show for it..

come on.. even Gw1 had a drinking title and that required a hell of a lot less work than gw2’s did to max out
