tl dr: I don’t want to become the most important person in the story in season 2, I would just want the game not to ignore who I am. Discuss

Many people seem to complain that the living story doesn’t recognize the players’ characters as important figures even though they’re commanders of the pact, slayers of Zhaitan and whatnot.

Even though I agree, that it’s weird that I cannot order some pact troops to help with the fight against scarlet, and that it’s obvious that there are some rather unexplainable holes in the logic of the ls coming from the fact that I’m so important and politically powerful, I would NOT want to become the sole saviour of the world and the only guy responsible for killing Mordy. I’m 100% ok with the fact that I was but a part of the greater effort to take down Scarlet with Braham, Rox and the rest, just as I have no problem with only being second (or third, or tenth) to Treehearne (who imo still is a horrible character) while defeating Zhaitan alongside Destiny’s Edge.

Ls should acknowledge who I am, and there shouldn’t be plot holes and inconsistencies as an effect my position and past deeds, but I really hope I don’t become the greatest saviour of the world in season 2, in an MMO that’s just silly. I’m interestekittenhe only one with such approach?

“it’s weird that I cannot order some pact troops to help with the fight against scarlet,”

I think that’s not really possible. If everyone who reached that point in the PS would call in troops there would be two outcomes:

a) the events would be too easy, if say 50 players are at an event and calls in pact troops there would be 50+ npc’s doing dmg to the target.

b) If they balance this out by making the troops weak, what’s the point? They would either become easy fodder killed in 2 seconds or they would just be in our way.

ALL HAIL TRAHEARNE! TRAHEARNE IS ALL, TRAHEARNE IS ETERNAL!

Anet could fix this by making a new PvE elite skill ‘Call Pact Support’…which would function like the Charr’s warband support.

That would make our characters true commanders of the pact.

If you can read this then it is proof that ArenaNet’s moderators just, kind and fair.
