Guild Wars 2

There are some unanswered questions from the living story, and I wonder if they will ever be answered. For example:

Who got Queen Jennah to use the watchwork creations as her security? It seemed like there might be something to this at one stage

Who is E?

What is Ellen Kiel doing now she is on the Captain’s Council?

What is Evon Knashblade doing?

What is happening with the Zephyrites? Will we ever find out about their connection with Glint? That storyline in particular held a lot of promise

What is Scarlet’s motivation? What is she trying to accomplish? She just seems to do these things with no rhyme or reason or evidence of a larger plan. And “messing stuff up” is not a larger plan.

Where did the steam creatures come from?

Did Scarlet convince the dredge and flame legion to ally? The fact they were both involved in her invasions suggests so, but that is the only evidence for it. I would have expected more of a dramatic reveal than that, given how much it was built up.

What is the deal with Scarlet and the Nightmare Court?

Where are all these Aetherblade pirates coming from?

The Elder dragons, etc.

The new krait instalment looks awesome, and I love the way they have changed the zone to accomodate it. However it’s hard to get excited about any new mysteries given the living story’s tendency to leave all the old ones unresolved.

TBH playing the living story feels like watching TV with someone who changes the channel every 5 minutes. Everytime you start getting interested in the plot, it skips to another program / instalment and you never find out what happened. I guess the stories might get picked up again in a few months, but by then most people will have lost the thread (eg Canach and the 2nd Southsun instalment).

Flame and Frost had some early issues, however it was at least a continuous story arc. Maybe the living story could be organised the way TV series are, where you have a plot for each episode but a wider story arc that links them all together and gives the series momentum.

Mastermind Scarlet seems to randomly attack “here and there”, without any Rythmn, Strategy or plausible Tactics. And she has lost every single Battle.
After all we have seen: Why would anyone ally with her? She is obvously the worst commander in history. : P
