Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been inactive for about a year and thus missed whole living world thing. Basicly I only finished PS, and now when I started S2 I find myself surrounded by “destiny’s edge 2.0”, and turns out I’m their “boss” too. I have no idea who are they.

I heard a bit about Scarlet and all, but that’s clearly not enough to fill the gap. It’s literally feels like as if I had | amnesia after the fight with Zhaitan, and now I finally awoke but forget instead what happened in the past two years. I’m no longer Commander? Who are those people? What are we doing here?

Sadly, I haven’t find any ingame option to answer these questions, so I would like to ask fellow players to help me. I suppose I could read up GW2 wiki, but that’s not really that entertaining. Maybe there are better ways to gain that sacred knowledge, a.k.a. “wtf is going on”?

Thanks.

Perhaps these videos from WoodenPotatoes may prove useful as I am currently watching them right now:

Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EsWtkj6f2k

That’s the type of thing I was looking for. Great, thanks.

Though I wish devs would put same sort of thing in the actual game.

Yeah, I agree. Though they did provide a summary in the website and a more detailed version in their Wiki.

EDIT: I got another link for you which details the Queen’s Jubilee story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6Jegq-kzgc
