I love the LS and I can’t wait for the updates to play the story. But the last two updates had only 3 story instances, and both ended up on a really unnecessary and frustrating cliffhanger.
So my plea to Anet is – make them longer please! Waiting two weeks for such a teeny story snippets that progress the plot at a snails pace has become rather frustrating
Not to mention that we still didn’t get an answer to those teaser pictures you posted, the ones about Rytlock, “They belong to the dragon now”, etc.
I know you have your limits but can we somehow hope to have bigger, juicier story updates like “Echoes from the past”, maybe?
You are aware that making them longer would mean it would also take much longer to create them, right? Which would mean even longer breaks between episodes/seasons.
Short…bad….gimmicky….dependent on a bad system (specially the last update where it forces u to play bugged instances with a melee character. Even the pull skill is bugged for her..doesn’t pull sht)
Not to mention over half this season u can literally call “fillers”. However much effort and time they put into these LS things…if they don’t feel consistent enough…that means it fails. Too bad for the hours they put in.
One big bottleneck is the voice acting combined with localisation. You can only produce a certain amount of story in a given time. This means they have to stretch the “story dough” sometimes causing cliffhangers and artificially abrupt ends. This effect is even more noticeable when an episode consists mainly of story instances. In my eyes two instead of four episodes after the mid-season break would have been much better. But the localisation sets narrow limits.
Supposed the same voice actors have to produce content for the “big projects behind the curtain” the damage is even bigger.
