Love it but...
Don’t have to play though it all solo as long as you have the story active you can head straight to the priory mission if you just really want to read the books.
I really love this new living story episode. It was engaging and I was super impressed with Glint’s Lair. The only problem I have with it though, is that I did it all in a party with my friend. Since I let him lead most of the instances, I wasn’t able to interact with much. I can understand not being able to interact with main questline objects when you’re tagging along with someone, but I would’ve really enjoyed being able to read some of the things in the priory, and sadly, I was not. I couldn’t even see the textboxes of the books when my friend pulled them up to read them. Guess I’ll just have to play through everything solo.
Anyways, great job though, Anet. The new stuff is top quality, and I’m excited to see where it goes from here.
Or you could check out Wooden Potatoes for vids on it along with speculation and theory. He usually covers stuff like that
