Guild Wars 2

Is there any ETA on LW season 1 being replayable? I’ve only played the Scarlet finale and there’s a pretty huge gap in lore in which I am unfamiliar with. I am not interested in wiki pages or youtube videos; a front row seat is more immersive and I prefer lore over gameplay anyways. I’d be alright with only small key events being replayable as opposed to large scale player content that was just for gameplay purposes.

I bought the game on day one, but some things are more important, such as University. I won’t buy the expansion until this problem gets fixed. It really sucks for new or returning players to have such a large chunk of content be unavailable to them.

It’s kinda impossible to replay season 1 for the most part since most of it were huge open events that get a zerg going! Since you played Scarlet finale then you know how much of a zerg it was therefore it’s impossible for them to have it up like season 2 since that what season 1 was mostly about, zerg fest!

I wrote out how I would return Season 1, after I had gotten some praise on a short-hand off-the-top-of-my-head suggestion posting a long while back.

In all honesty, bringing back Season 1 doesn’t seem as hard as people make it out to be. Most of the open world events are not relevant to the main story and are little different to the open world events we got with Season 2. Most of Season 1’s main story is still told in the open world like Season 2, with only about 10 idle placement of NPCs – half of which are previews (like for the Tower of Nightmares) or epilogues (like for Flame and Frost) which aren’t needed to be brought back (and if thought it should, a simple instance similar to Rallying Call – a combatless dialogue-only instance meant solely to push players into the next direction – would do).

The ‘zerg events’ only became a part of the Living World in three of the last five releases (Origins of Madness, Escape from LA, Battle for LA) – sole exception being The Lost Shores. Before that, they were zerg events because that was ‘the new thing’ – not because they were designed for zergs. No different than the zerg that showed when Dry Top and Silverwastes were new.

The Dev said in interview that they cant have season 1 on Sale cuz of the Game system or something it was Angry Joe video

They havent started re building it yet, so best case scenario would be early next year if it was started just after HoT released. Prob a lot later tho imo

They should also bring back season 2 so people who did not get to play for a year or so can get their mawdrey and other important stuff.

Season 2 is permanent content. It’s no longer free unlocking, but you can buy it for a handful of gems (I think the total price is $20 – 1600 gems – for the entire thing, but you can buy gems with gold so.. and it reduces in price based on how many episodes you’ve already had unlocked). It’s in the Upgrade part of the gemstore.

So new players can still get Mawdrey.
