Whoever is writing the living story, please put more effort into making it a believable situation (for a fantasy world).

Right now with the invasions as they are taking place and destruction being brought into all regions of Tyria, Scarlet alone is the biggest threat to this world. Zhaitan occupied a formerly underwater island and harrassed the coastal regions. Maybe he had long-term plans to wipe out the whole world, but Scarlet would be wiping out the whole world right this week if people wouldnt oppose her. If her crazy swings in our favor she could probably take her troops to reclaim the far shiverpeaks in a few days or wipe out wipe out all minions of Primordus to reclaim the homelands of the asuran race.

One for whatever reason crazy sylvari procures untold numbers of fighting troops from very different cultural groups that all unquestionably follow her, “because they like to live”. Either this plot stays as atrocious as it currently appears or we get it all explained afterwards with some deus ex machina, but in both cases the current chapter comes as across as really bad lore and story-wise and seems to be an excuse to dump large clusters of loot pinatas into the game.

So for the future either make the stories believable in size (F&F and lost shores did ok there, Scarlet would’ve been more ok if it just targeted some human areas in this attack on DR) or if you want to sow global destruction of unprecendented scale then use a threat that can believably carry it out. For example the invasions being lava rifts in the earth that spit out destroyers is a reason that fits the world you established.

Yeah, the gameplay for this LS was great, aside from all the grindy achievments. The problem with Scarlet is she was introduced way too fast to be taken seriously.

This should have been a long build up like Flame and Frost. We should have had subtle hints for a long time before actually meeting her. She should have been a scheming, cunning opponent rather than a childish ninny.

And the fact that she just has ALL these bad guys behind her for no real reason is nonsense. How did an incompetent child like Scarlet win out in rank above Mai Trin, who seemed far smarter and more dangerous? It’s nonsense.
