Guild Wars 2

I know this topic has been brought up many times before, but i want to show my support for this.

Many MANY people want to see Season 1 come back. In my guild we’ve talked about it from time to time and everyone agrees that they would buy it if i came back. After lurking the forums for a bit, i can safely say that the same holds true for most people. Im personally a story geek, so to have this gaping hole in the story frustrates me, and i know alot of people who are the same. I dont know what the devs have discussed amoungst themselves, but if one of the big questions for them is “is it worth from a financial standpoint?” then the answer is a loud roaring “YES” because by the gods people would buy that thing like their life depended on it.

I know that A-net probably doesnt need any design tips, but one of the biggest issues that people disguss with season 1 is the open world content. My suggestions would be to instance them aswell and allow people to either bring a group of friends in like a dungeon, or solo it with a group of NPC’s like the dragon minon in “the battle for claw island”. I know that wont be as grand as it was originally, but if i have to settle for that, then i’d be happy to do so. Just a suggestion.

Alright, thats it for me. Good day.

Don’t have any links/quotes, the gist is: they would like to but it wasn’t designed in a way to be brought back so it’s on the table as something they will probably look in to from time to time.

Please Anet, just make them replayable on a map with the S1 event…How? Maybe with Fractal of the Mist (talk to a NPC you teleport you to a open map with the event, this will be really fast to implanted back)

It wouldn’t be a fast fix at all. The game isn’t set up for them just to switch things back on. It’s why SAB hasn’t returned – the code has had significant changes and older content is no longer compatible without work to adjust it.

I’m hoping so. I’m trying my best to not just watch it on youtube because I want a fresh experience when/if it comes back. Season 2 is my favorite part of the GW2 story and I want to play the events leading into it.

When/if Season 1 comes back it will be in a very very different form to how it was first released. Primarily because it was designed with the intention of being one off, open world, and impactful.
Honestly if I were you I would want to watch it on youtube anyway. When/if it comes out it will be different enough to still be new and interesting for you, but this way you’ll have a better understanding of the story and how it actually unfolded.

Before HoT release, my answer would be yes. Yes, Anet has said that they want S1 to be replayable eventually. They have also said that it requires a lot of work because it was not designed as Season2.

Now, after HoT I don’t think that it will return.

It may sound pessimistic but they are now working on LS3, new WvW and Fractal updates and 1/3 of the team works on the next expansion.

They are busy as hell and because of that I think it’s realistic to assume that LS1 won’t return or it will take a very long time until it returns. Not because they don’t want to, they do. Just because they probably have no time to work on it when they are so busy with other (and let’s be honest) more important stuff.

Soon, maybe, at some point, when we get around to it, if your lucky.

As it stands, no. It is not coming back.

It really should though. Currently, playing through the game for new players is like going through the original Star Wars trilogy without watching Empire Strikes Back.

I wish it would come back too. There is a huge gap in the story with many of the characters that were introduced in S1, that would seemingly drop in from nowhere to a new player starting Heart of Thorns.

Only a few of the S1 releases were actually open world events. Most of S1 story was instanced, for examples, the murder of Theo Ashford during Dragon Ball, the fight against Canach at Southsun Cove, escorting the Consortium with Ellen Kiel to their ship, Scarlet Briar’s introduction to the plot by attacking the Queen’s Gauntlet (which really needs to come back to the game), the Captain’s election instances, the fight against the krait on top of the nightmare tower, and the final fight against Scarlet in the Breachmaker, just to name a few of the story instances.

We need, at the very least, these story instances back so that the storyline actually flows properly. It would be nice if they brought back some of the other events and maps. I miss the Labyrinthine Cliffs.

Everyone only seems to remember with rose colored glasses about the Marionette, the Escape from Lion’s Arch, the Battle for Lion’s Arch and the open world events for the Nightmare Tower at Kessex Hills.

No one seems to remember hammering down signs for the first four weeks of Living World when it started.
