Guild Wars 2

From what I read here people really just want new permanent places to explore and only ask for dragons because new dragon means new areas. I feel the dragons are just as boring character wise as Scarlet but new areas corrupted by another dragon get me excited.

I’m excited by the prospect of new areas.

I think making Dragons the villains again is a mistake. For one thing: the Elder Dragons are not evil. For another: they have no personalities.

The problem with the “Living Story” isn’t the villain, it’s ArenaNet’s bad writing and pacing. Until they learn to write better, the story will be bad regardless of who the characters are.

Here is what i want.

-fix condition problems
-make control ablilites useful (defiant,unshakeable)
-remove or make all attributes useful (Zerk, or gtfo)
-horizontal progression
-less grinding
-more permanent content, and less temporary content
-fix class imbalances

I would love some of those fixes I used to play a necro but they feel weak compared to other classes except in spvp. I also think the living story needs to be less frequent and have more impact. As far as the dragons I always found them boring but I love to explore.

Dragons means new story quests which means new areas and maybe new dungeons and armor sets. So yeah you are right dragons is exactly what i want but I ll be very happy if they just make condition builds really usefull for pve. I will spend many hours lvling, gearing and building new toons.

I really wish they would open up some of the map… I would really like to see locations I was at in Guild Wars 1. Such as crystal desert, fire islands, droknars forge, and the expanse of the Jungle.

Have one open every 6 months or so? should leave plenty of years for new places to be created.

The living story should work to slowly open up a new zone over the course of 6 months. some of the problem is most living story is zerg/farm or go home I don’t play dungeons but others do so new zones could bring it all with a story that leads up to them. I was hoping scarlet would work its way into the Maguma wastes but I don’t think that will happen.

Its painful to open your map and see the same closed zones for 15 months

i think for the ls anet got to stop trying to tie everything together. do shorter stories. do a two parter about a new centuar chieftain and end with uis killing him. have us stop a plot to destroy the charr human peace force eliminate the person responsible at the end of two chapters. they can overlap stories but give us meat and bones not trying to link both together. have mini crisis every month ot so. they can stay on the 2 week chapters and if they choose to expand have several link together then but no more personal nemisis garbage or central villians that does soo much. have a chapter where we go to break up a new alliance that could cause a lot of harm if they work together. id like to see more map and use three of four chapter to bring the new map with new vistas waypoints. if they want to revamp just revamp make it the solo chapter no need to have someone behind it. anets bigest problem is they got multiple teams trying to link everything together. if they want to link a few chapter together have both teams work side by side maybe one teams geta 2 week more to work on it at the beginning and one gets two less at end but use both to do the content up. last few weeks should only be polish anyways. no more 1 year plus ls stories make them one to two months each maybe three if they got a great idea. we dont have to chase dragon but maybe something we do in one series could lead to encountering dragon minions which lead to a dragon down the line but have them be separate stories.. see the dragon minions are leading to a dragon but its a teaser for future content we dont know why they are there but suspect jormag activity or another dragon but we got to finish up what(lets say centuar something) we are doing before we go onto it. by trying to link everything to scarlet they dimished her in a sense and tried to make her all too powerful.

tdrl smaller villians and i dont mean asurans. leads in dont have to tie one ls story to the next. make more individual living stories. make exspansion but dont use dragon for reason to expand. centuars creating a mess in magunna could start it where a three or more chapters in middle that lead to dragon. that way they dont think they have to rush to dragon but bring them in eventually.

Agreed! Tease us with the dragons! Give us living stories that have titles like flame and frost (TITLES, not GAMEPLAY like FandF) I can’t tell you how much i researched on the web and how much i looked for that would lead to a clue or something that would reveal whether jormag or primordus would be coming at the end… instead we get charr-dredge alliance that turned out the be the first of many of “Scarlet the Omnipotent’s” alliances… Woo!

dragons in gw2 look amazing but they are more like forces of nature than a complex character. I would prefer it if they had generals or heralds that had the personality. I did like the eye and mouth of Zhaitan – they should of used them more. Again a lost opportunity.

I think the problem is they don’t give the elder dragons any character. It’s hard to imagine anything as immense, powerful and as old as they are don’t have any personalities. They should at least have motivations for what they are doing and I would LOVE to hear it directly from them!

Besides, if Anet really wanted us to fight a force of nature, they could have been hurricanes like Jupiter’s Red Eye.
