Lions arch staying destroyed and uninhabitable thanks to the toxic miasma residues.

Orr being completely cleansed of zhaitan corruption, trees and wild life returning to it and Arah becomming the new central hub for all races since the pact conquered it.

Completely new personal story lines after lv20. People that are past lv20 personal story being reset to lv20, people that completed the personal story keeping their personal story and a new story being unfolded at lv20 and upwards.

A battle for the pale tree safety, lots of ingame seperatists and propaganda against sylvari. Some tearjerker stuff about the pale mother and all races coming into her defense when the time is right.

Few large new zones building up to the next elder dragon. New dungeons in which we fight key npcs of the next elder dragons armies. Crazed dragon worshippers etc.

All types of factions for whom you need to gain reputation in order to buy stuff. Vendors of these factions selling armor skins, vanity items, new siege weapons for WvW (or different visuals for current siege). A new ability called acid rain to give vulnerability to keep walls (for the trebuchet).

Daily quests.

Monthly updates over bi-weekly updates but with changing environment within the update every 3-4 days for the first 2 weeks. Something like how halloween from 2012 was. Not giving the entire bulk of a story in 1 day, make it feel a bit more living.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Orr cleansed and transformed into the new Lion’s Arch, perhaps with some option to revisit old Orr in like, a flashback. I doubt that’ll happen though.

I guess I’d just like a story that is better than what we had with Season 1. No, ‘Grand Reveal,’ again. Let us know what we’re doing from the start and let us do it. Otherwise I’d like to see the current cast of biconics retired for the Season and come back in Season 3, with minor cameos in Season 2.

I would like having palawa yoko invade through crystal desert and at the same time open that region as permanent content.

Alternatively, moving towards the eotn regions.

most importantly an actual storyline and not just a bunch of events and achievements that feel totally disconnected.

one can dream :P

New writers. And, preferably, writers who have played Guild Wars 1 on more than a passing occasion.

New writers. Good villains. Meaningful rewards, or at least SOMETHING. Better world bosses, not the LOL GET 150 ZERKS AND U CAN DO IT TOO!!!XDXD

No more kittened mechanics like the condition reflect on the knights. No more emphasis on pure dps for all LS encounters.

And for the love of all that is holy, no more achievements that need me to rely on 100 other people to do something.

Funny, I kind of remember a major complaint about Zhaitan being that you took him down with only 5 people (the Storymode Dungeon).

I’d like to see the “biconics” scrapped and a fresh and entertaining story written based on a new group of well-designed characters.

Same here to be honest. I like the current cast, but not enough to want to see them return. Well, I’d like to see Taimi return to be honest. She’s great. The rest I wasn’t too thrilled with. Braham seemed interesting at first since he was Eir’s son but… that didn’t really turn into anything more than him having mommy issues. Rox seemed like the stereotypical charr. Marjory was interesting, but a Detective can only really be a main character in a mystery story, and even though the grand finale of the Living Story Season 1 was a mystery, she didn’t really deduce anything. Kasmeer was fine but, I don’t feel like she offered anything to the story. She was just kind of… there until the end where she shown by being kitten, and then had the kiss that sparked an ocean of inflammatory topics on these forums.

I rather see a Personal Story: Book 2 than LS season 2.

It should be “MY STORY”, not brahamroxjorykasmeretaimi story, nor Juvenile’s Edge story.

But if Anet insist on the Living Story, I’d like it to focus on the 3 Orders.

Example:
- Order of Whispers – long quest chain doing political power plays in order to favor the Pact granting resources and old knowledge. Maybe even discovering secret or old arts like the Light Bringer’s power.

- Vigils – long quest chain about recruiting every possible person they can to bolster their numbers and kitten nal. Improving technology and equipments.

- Priory – long quest chain about discovering the powers granted by the human gods, Norn spirit guides, Asura’s Eternal Alchemy, and the Sylvari’s Dream. Charr’s don’t have gods but the priory can discover about the Mursaat’s power and the power in the bloodstones.

The current world is rich in content. Anet need to stop crating new ones like Scarlett — let her be the scar that reminds you on what not to do.

http://sirvincentiii.com ~ In the beginning…there was Tarnished Coast…
Full set of 5 unique skills for both dual-wield weapon sets: P/P and D/D – Make it happen
PvE – DD/CS/AC – If that didn’t work, roll a Reaper or Revenant.

Sign me up! I’ve played GW1 since 2006, so I know the lore well. I would love to make new LS stories, and I’m not afraid of writing for the Teen market either.

If I were a writer for this game, I would re-focus the story on the PC. IMO, NPCs shouldn’t be getting the spotlight. NPCs also need to be more endearing so we actually care about them (i.e. Taimi).

Then there’s the much-needed cutscenes involving the baddies. I would include those in the LS. Players need to see what the baddies are up to while their characters are being kept in the dark (most of the time).

I would also add more stories involving the Orders. The 3 different organizations have alot of potential for drama.

You know what this made me think of? I’d love to see a part of a Living Story update (permanent) allow your character to relive one of those moments they select as part of the character creation. Like, humans losing their sister, passing up the chance to join the circus, or losing their parents. Or the time an Asura spent in their respective college. Or one of the vents that happens to the Norn (losing an heirloom or getting drunk and such, etc…)

It’d be neat to be able to explore our own characters’ pasts in this manner, just one chapter of it. Let the NPCs with us comment on what they see while this happens. Think of the whole thing as kind of a shared hallucination, perhaps through Mordremoth trying to corrupt the Dream and bring the PC into it regardless of their race, to make them a minion, and not just any minion, but their new Champion. The Biconics/DE Mk. II are there to try and save the player from the corruption.

If living story make it shorter…………….. not longer than 6 month.

!!!!!!Make the living Story living!!!!!! descisions and fights have an impact on future stuff.
Nothing is worse than losing constantly against the Marionette and winning the fight after 2 weeks are over……… serious ????

-give me my Elona and Cantha back

-Actually write a story and force the story writer to play guild wars 1.
Especially the 3 Crystal desert missions to prove you are worthy or the lava worm under Eye of the North, that will teach them a lesson about creativity.

-And for gad sakes get rid of dps zerker bosses. Bring back creativity and planning to defeat bosses. I am not social enough to collect 150 players and keep pushing button 1 to defeat a boss.

-Please release who is responsible for the monster mechanic designs.
Everyone can create a Monster who is un-defeatable.
In GW 1 you had to learn how the opponent works and then interfere when he plays his power skill or don’t touch him and carry bombs around to damage……
I would even be happy to bring back the exact Bosses back from GW1 if A-Net isn’t able to create new ones.

-And most important………… bring back skills to learn, change and combine as you wish.
Traid system is over complicated and Skillsystem is over simplyfied.
Just step away from making the game for 10 year old kids who have never seen
GW 1.

-Bring back the glory, skills, creativity and the worlds of GW1 and mix it with graphics, crafting, trading post and gem store from GW2.

-last but not least a personal request…. fire the guy who is responsible for the Zodiac Armor. He is either drunk or stoned at work

best regards……. someone who played GW1 and GW2 for many many years and actually cares about the game
