Guild Wars 2

Despite my personal grudge (among others) against Scarlet and how she never really stuck to the me or a big part of the player-base, I will say that the Tower of Nightmares LS story was very well done. The content lasted a while, contained a mix of solo play and group play that was enjoyable to do and could be done in various group sizes, nice rewards, and hints towards Scarlet’s motifs, extremely well done ending cutscene and a permanent change to Kessex hills (both visually and gameplay wise with heart changes and tri-color keys).

Yes, I know, many people were grumpy about this LS story, but kitten it has probably been my favorite so far. Despite all the negative nancies around here (not saying I haven’t been one =P) the Tower of Nightmares was very well done! Can’t wait to see more like it!

I agree. I think it was the best so far.

• The Tower of Nightmares spanned 4 patches, including a teaser patch.
• Each patch had a cutscene, an instance, and new open-world content.
• We had the same currency for all 4 patches, so it allowed us to earn rewards over time.
• When the event was complete it left a permanent effect upon the zone, changing Kessex Hills forever!

Nice job ArenaNet. If you keep up this quality consistently it will change people’s perception of the Living Story. I think something like ToN will be the new pattern for future Living Story patches.

The Queen’s Jubilee and Tower of Nightmares have been my absolute favourite patches, together with halloween and wintersday.

But there is just one thing I can’t stop thinking about: was the architect for the Tower of Nightmares compensating for something?

Someone made that pun elsewhere on the forums as well. *snicker *snicker
