Guild Wars 2

I logged on for the first time in a few months, teleported to kessex hills and was randomly placed in an instance where I had to inject toxin into some random thing. I have no idea what this was about, who the characters were, why I was doing it or what I was doing. After destroying the tower I was left confused as to what exactly I just accomplished and why I was forced into it. These living story things punish people who don’t have the time to keep up with previous event.s

The whole “getting sucked into the story” thing is new as of a couple patches ago. Not really a big fan of it myself and I totally see how you’d feel just coming in at the end.

I’m not sure I’d call it a punishment, but I’d avoid taking your other characters there now (as each one will get sucked into the story). That’s the only zone right now doing it. The rest are open.

To be honest, I think they should let the LS be “above” the game and reflect whats going on in each zone, but not to where folks are forced into it. I’d prefer an LS storyteller that I can talk to and participate in all previous LS content… but that’s me :P

Don’t you read your mail? You should always read your mail from now on after a patch, it will help you understand things a lot more.

I believe you can exit the instance, so other than the fact you don’t know what’s going on (byproduct of not playing for months), there doesn’t seem to really be a problem.

Yup. Not surprised by this thread at all.

It’s like walking into a movie halfway. You either don’t care, or want to properly watch the whole thing later (and the second option is, of course, unavailable to us).
