Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to express my gratitude for the new content, I’m really liking season 2 so far. Season 1 was pretty “meh” until the whole destroy Lion’s Arch thing. Even then I feel like I couldn’t appreciate season 1 at all until it was over and the dust had settled.

Love the story so far. There’s a legitimate mystery going on and even though it was short what we got was very satisfying and left me wanting more. I especially loved seeing Scarlet’s old lab. Unfortunately I can only appreciate her character now that she’s dead.

The dialogue seems, at least to me, to have improved significantly. There’s a lot more humor and the characters seem to have more personality then before. I also feel like the actors are delivering better performances then they did in the past. Finally I care about what happens to Marjory, Kasmeer, Rox, Braham, and Taimi.

The Story Journal, not being able to replay the story content was my biggest complaint about season 1. It just sucked if you had to miss something because you were out of town or it turns out you over-looked a particular story instance or you just wanted a refresher on what happened before. So glad this will be in-game moving forward.

Dry Top is a really cool map and very fun. Maybe not the best map in game but the fact you have to use the aspect crystals to navigate the area makes it very unique and something that would have never been possible in GW1. I hope we’ll see more unique and interesting maps like this one.

So overall I was very skeptical about Season 2 but the first release was very good and I’m actually excited for the next update.

PS: I want Belinda’s sword! Make it happen Arenanet!
