Guild Wars 2

…your very casual guildies that never see the forums, or reddit, or anything really start talking, theorizing and speculating in your Whatsapp group about Scarlet and what will happen in the next episodes.

We are all really excited with the season one finale!

I confess that I had doubts about it at the beginning, but I think ANet jumped in the success lane and this will only go better and better in the future.

I don’t know if it’s great yet, but it’s certainly good and getting better!

I think the biggest flaw in the writing of the Living Story, is the delivery of information and the amount of information delivered.

Only recently have they given us hints, or dabs of information, to speculate the future story on. They should have been doing this all along, and now be giving us major reveals in these final four releases.

Also, when they first started the current LS chapter, most of the important pieces of story and lore were only available on the website. I think all this has crippled their LS to live up to its full potential. However, I expect the next LS chapter to dramatically improve in these aspects.

The thing that struck me about the reaction to Escape From LA was how the initial flood of postings were all excited, happy, and making Snake Plisskin jokes. It’s been a while since we had an upbeat response to an announced LS chapter.

Sure, now we’re getting some naysayers and worriers, and the requisite predictors of gloom who are certain ANet lives to suck all the joy out of their life, but there’s still a ton of positive speculation going on.

I’m really looking forward to this one.

This might be the first update that will actually change the world for more than a week, and that’s why people are so exited about it.
The problem is, while the last patch was very well done story-wise, Escape From LA will probably be more cinematic and not instanced, thus there’s a bigger possibility of Anet screwing it up.
Let us hope.
It’s all we have left.
