What are you expectations from the season 2 of the living world?

For me, I will be pleased if we get :

10. New explorable areas. Ideally not permanent. I like the ideas of contents coming and going so we can look forward to it every year…etc.

9. New skills/weapons/traits for different profession that are tied into the living story. Say, there’s a new and powerful enemy coming and our heroes got more powerful/flexible in response.

8. More solo-able contents for the living story if our personal story will not continue officially. At this rate, I don’t think we’ll get a new personal story until expansion or guild wars 3…

7. A cape/cloak as a back piece. To solve clipping issues, our weapons that we put on our back will not be sheathed unless we go hide our cape in the equipment panel. Or! if it’s possible, there could be a new animation that shows our character transform their 2h weapon into a cape or a cloak when they are idle. Then in combat, there’s another animation that shows we transform that cape into weapon…etc. Epic. yasssssssssssss.

6. I want to say new world bosses, but improving on the old ones is great as well.

5. Returning favorite characters. See 2.

4. New, like-able anti-heroes that are not necessarily evil. I don’t want to know whom I can count on or whom I need to defeat from the get-go.

3. It would be major CRAZY if time travel is involved in plot line. It would be even more crazy if we get to vote whom player wants to travel back to save. Tybalt, please.

2. Throw a wedding and kill off the favorite characters. That one would make the evening news! Imagine the riot!

1. Big bad kitten dragon fight that honors our intelligence and contribution to your gem store aka. your entire livelihood up until now. Big bad kitten dragon fight shall renew my faith in this game the way when Liadri first came out, before i discovered Dulfy’s mesmer video tehehehehe.

ps: I spent an hour on this kitten post. urgggh. Gotta get up/go to work in 4 hours.

1. New high quality permanent content (zones, contintents, lore etc.)
2. New class
3. New race
4. New skills and weapons for existing classes
5. Customizable GUI: let me place stuff where I want them to, let us change skill positions, let us have slots/side bars where I can put in my buff food etc.
6. New raid like content: let us fight bosses like Tequatl or the Wurm in instances as a guild. We finally can fight them WHEN we want and don’t have the hassle of the failing sever annoyances.
7. New crafting disciplines or gathering like: fishing or mixing elixirs etc.
8. Many of us – especially the GW1 veterans – want to have answers/stories about all the old lore: Palawa Joko, the Mursaat etc.
9. Give us rewards like new armor and weapons kins via IN GAME GAMEPLAY not just an unepic gemstore where everyone who has a credit card can buy them. It’s extremely unepic.
10. Make legendaries more epic: if you introduce new ones let us do hard content, send us over the world of Tyria and let us gather the materials in hard dungeons/raids etc. and for god’s sake: MAKE THEM ACCOUNT BOUND ON CREATION!!!! Selling and buying legendaries is a huge mistake and I assume this was done to encourage rich players just to buy them via trading post, so just a monetary idea behind this. The money making makes this game suffer and the overall quality suffers as well. I hope you will understand this.

“I’d like that glass of water please
Some magic spell to cure disease
A firm “gesundhoof” when I sneeze
A fresh bouquet of roses

Some lozenges will soon appease
My wheezing when I start to sneeze
A wig to keep me from the breeze
And blankets for my toes-es

Take tweezers out of my valise
And then massage my knobby knees
A bowl of peas, some extra cheese
A cuddle with a Pekingese
A singing harp who’s named Louise
A goat on skis, a new trapeze

And more and more and more and more of these… "

Oopsie, wrong answer, wrong subject.
My 10 great expectations:

1) New permanent areas (lvl 25 to 80, like: one area 25-40, one area 40-55, one area 55-65, and one 65-80), and more permanent content (it seems it will be the case for LV2…)
2) Precursor crafting (my bad luck will not allow me to loot one, and I refuse to buy one).
3) More diversity concerning builds… Maybe a better organisation for traits, or new traits (i’d like to play a whole conjuration build with my elem).
4) A new weapon for engineers (melee weapon). And new weapons (spear, crossbow, and a new magic weapon).
5) Housing content. A place I can be at home, and having guests.
6) New utility skills (new elite or healing skills… I want a new shout (healing or elite skill) for my healing warrior).
7) More story. More story, and more story.
8) More interactions with the tengus. I don’t want to be one of them (not sure about that), but i want to talk with them, learn more about them.
9) Developping Support and Control builds. (You are zerging, you are zerging, EVERYBODY IS ZERGING !!! ==> i want something else).
10) Enigmas (you talk to a NPC, he send you to a place in order to find an other NPC, or a book…, allowing you to know better the lore of GW2. Exemple: you do quests to learn a little more on Zojja, Logan, Rytlock, Caithe, Eir, and when you’ve finished the 5 quests, a bigger quests leads you ton know a little more about Snaff). For those who understand french ==> https://forum-fr.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/game/Nouvelle-activit-les-nigmes/first#post211594

1. A story worth playing with a final boss worth the fight
2. Lore. Lore. LORE.
3. New useful skills (not 60% useless) we might earn from quests
4. Permanent content
… That’s all in a way :/ But if we need ten:
5. Anise’s outfit
6. Visiting the whole world and slapping the Emperor and Palawa Joko
7. Selecting skills for weapons
8. Armors/Weapons obtainable via quests, not gems
9. No more zerg-only events
10. Make the player the center of the adventure, not a simple witness who will earn, after defeating the hardest enemies, nothing more than souldbound items unusable by their profession.

It isn’t what I expect, but what I’d like, in no particular order:

1) New permanent, and finished, zones. Ideally 3+
2) New race, ideally Tengu, with the new zones including the Dominion of Winds.
3) A complete, or near complete, reversal of the changes to traits.
4) NEW skills and traits that are earned through exploration.
5) New guild missions, including guild instanced activities like Sanctum Sprint (and general attention to guilds).
6) New class. Whatever here.
7) Just turn off hobosacks.
8) SAB turned on permanently.
9) Precurser crafting, and Jeweler and Chef to 500.
10) UI customisation, including in the character select screen.

3. A new dungeon (or dungeons) that sticks around, instead of disappearing after a month only to come back half-finished as a fractal a year and a half later.
4. New and interesting weapons and armor skins that don’t require once-in-a-lifetime luck or buying gems to acquire.
5. Precursor crafting.
6. No more hobosacks.
7. Revamped condition damage to make it useful in PvE without unbalancing it in PvP/WvW
8. Bring back the Ferocity/Charisma/Dignity system and make it have an actual impact.
9. An Elder Dragon final boss encounter that has all the epicness such a fight should have, instead of 222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222.

1) New Weapons for the Classes based on the already existing ones.
Example: Longbows, Offhand Swords, Dual Axes, Dual Maces and Torches for Thieves

2) New explorable Maps, like Tarnished Coast, Aurora Glade, Henge of Denraavi, The Wastelands

3) Precursor Crafting and the final adding of Cooking/ Jeweler 500 together with new Ascended Sigils and Runes

4) A refined and significantly improved Personality System that is meaningful, together with a new Reputation System and a new feature of Order Missions that are based on your Personality and Reputation also too.

5) New Legendary Weapons as like also legendary Accessoires

6) New Jumping Puzzles, new Hidden Places to explore, new Monsters to kill including finally more Giants and other creatures, that count as Giants and lots of new Achievements and new Achievement Progression to alot of the already existing Achievements to give us something to do again. Seriously 1000 Kills für a Creature Max Achievement… These for example could get new Kill Achievements Tier which adds also new Titles for example for killing 10000 of a Creature Species

7) Missing Content getting finally added, like Polymok, Bar Brawls, Shooting Range

8) New Guild Missions and more generel new Guild Content, like Guild Halls, Improvements to the Commander System, new Guild Features, like Guild Crusades (aka 20-50 Man Raids in Instances), Small scaled WvW like GvG’s, Guild/Player Housing

9) New playable Race – Tengus together with their Hometown Map Sanctum Cay and Beginner Map Sea of Sorrows

10) New Playable Class – 3rd Soldier – the Knight, adding also a new Weapon, the Halberd to the game and Mounts with its unique Gameplay Style of having Mounted Combat as one of its special Class Features making it basically a little mixture between Warrior and Ranger. Knight-Upgrades get renamed to Mercenary-Upgrades

These thigns are not what I really expect, but more what I’d love to see happen.

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside

So, I was thinking, how about adding in as a weapon for gw2 a MOUNT with bows and lances? the mount would take up 1 of your existing weapon slots, you could make a legendary mount, have other types of mounts, and have cosmetic mounts in the gw2 store.
basic would be a horse… rare could be a tiger… and so on and so forth, the mount would not give swiftness, but would enable for you to have other skills that would give swiftness (like a warhorn does now).
I could imagine a warrior barreling down on someone with his mount, a guardian astride his bashing his foes and creating a line-shaped symbols on the ground, the necro would be able to summon horse-zombies to attack their foes, while the mesmer would be able to have a phantasmal knight. the engineer would be able to bomb people from horseback, and even pull a cart turret (how awesome would a cart-turret be?). the thief would be able to make his mount stealth and maybe would be able to have his mount attack for him with abilities akin to a trampling/mauling depending on the mount type. rangers would be able to take their PETS as mounts and use their abilities more in sync with one another. elementalists would be able to make their horse trail fire and ice, and would use it as a main getaway.
so… leave feedback and tell me what you think!

10.) Guild Costumes. (Tier I, II, III: same cost as cultural armor.)

A positive, constructive player base.

…Whut? I’m not getting that any more than the other top-10 wish lists above. =P

Srs bzns though:
Looking forward to fulfilled rumors of permanent content.
A new zone
Extension of the Personal Story path post Zhaitan and Treesus.
Better WvW support
A new race (would certainly sell those gems!)
Better storytelling and less Mary Sues
Better reward structures (unique rewards for content based on deeds, not RNG)
(Corollary: Precursors attainable via tasks or with unique items obtained through unique tasks, not RNG.)
Smarter encounter design

They shouldn’t make you sad. Anet wants community involvement and feedback. That’s what’s going to make the game better in the long run.

Not so easy to do, unless those characters are introduced through more dynamic means. Which means, sadly, Trehearne’s not gonna get eaten by a dragon.
…But Brahm might!

Because of production cost/involvement of reviving Logan/Rytlock/et al, first-gen main character participation in upcoming story is very unlikely. It’s much easier to weave a continuing narrative with characters that aren’t embedded in the rest of the game.

It’d be even better if we got some more cutscene art, too. Like one of Brahm shoving Taimi out of harm’s way as a gigantic dragon maw bears down on them. …Can we sense I don’t like Brahm and want him eaten by an elder dragon? =P

Just 1 thing I’m really fussed about, and that’s

1. Don’t be afraid to kill off some main characters."

Not so easy to do, unless those characters are introduced through more dynamic means. Which means, sadly, Trehearne’s not gonna get eaten by a dragon.
…But Brahm might!

Because of production cost/involvement of reviving Logan/Rytlock/et al, first-gen main character participation in upcoming story is very unlikely. It’s much easier to weave a continuing narrative with characters that aren’t embedded in the rest of the game.

It’d be even better if we got some more cutscene art, too. Like one of Brahm shoving Taimi out of harm’s way as a gigantic dragon maw bears down on them. …Can we sense I don’t like Brahm and want him eaten by an elder dragon? =P

Ah come one… he’s not so bad.

Plus he’s the ONLY male character in the biconics. The ladies in my guilds strongly disapprove.

Plus he’s the ONLY male character in the biconics. The ladies in my guilds strongly disapprove.

True! It’s actually really irritating that there’s such a gap in character design. If I recall correctly, aside from Canach, there hasn’t even been a relevant male to the Living Story. And no one remembers Spinach, er I mean, Canach.

Adding to my wishlist:
Relevant Norn to the world stage. The Sons of Svanir didn’t even make it into the “alliance” hooplah of Season 1. It’s been something of a Sylvari salad bar so far, and that needs to change.

Many alts; handle it!

10: New maps

9: A cleave weapon for Necro/new weapons added like Greataxe

8: Fix the new trait system

7: A way to get people out of rata sum and back in to LA or some other place so I don’t have to be near them

6: New heavy armor profession

5: New traits

4: New utility skills

3: 1-2 more options for each weapon skill slot

2: New dungeons that aren’t annoying like TA aether

1: Emerald Blade as a greatsword. I’ll buy 1600 gems to get it if I have to 0.0

Note: These aren’t ranked, just the order I thought of them in

There are some great ideas that I like. Though, it seems a lot of people are expecting more from future feature patches and less to do with actual living story.

My top 5 for feature pack would be:

5. Pre-cursor crafting
4. Every profession can use every weapon/New weapons
3. More useful traits/skills
2. Personality trait revamp. It would add a lot of depth to role playing. I would absolutely love it if it affects the way we shout or the way we do heart quests!
1. More guild missions/guild content

On to living world expectations:

5. “High quality permanent content” = Though quite vague and unhelpful, I can understand the desire to explore relatively new zones, kill new monsters with hope of new loots…etc. However, if my memory still severs me, it’s the rewards of playing certain zones that can cause major “gamer kitten” or major “quu quu”, not the new zone itself. People that ask for more more more zones are the people who get bored and can’t entertain themselves with current ones. It would be a nightmare to come out with new permanent zones every season. Player base will be too spread out. For a zone to be great, we’ll have to have a discussion on what that greatness entails in a zone. Loots?Challenge? Beautiful scenery? Dynamic events? More heart quests? less heart quests? No heart quests? World boss? For me personally, I feel there are enough zones already in this game. I’d rather the team utilize living story to re-imagine the current zones the way they did to LA and Kessex Hills. This way it would be more in line of a living, breathing world that shifts and changes every “season”.

4. Trahearne get corrupted. We get to kill him. I’d die of happiness. Thanks to cody.4591

3. Death of favorite/main characters. Anyone. Preferably, all of the b-iconic ones. I like them , but they are just too 1 dimensional good guy. #weddingdeath #GoT.

2. A Good story and an even better Anti-hero. My ideas of good would include these qualities: surprising , suspenseful, and sensible. If possible, no more blog post about a character background outside of game. It’s just a no-no for immersion. Let us read a diary in game or something.

1. A decent final boss fight that is entertaining.

What are you expectations from the season 2 of the living world?

What I “expect” is very different from what I hope/wish for, and what I “expect” is rather short:

  • An improvement from Season 1

What I hope for, though (in no particular order) in the LW stuff:

  1. A better story delivery, and as a continuation of the personal story
  2. Fight with another Elder Dragon (I prefer Jormag, but expect Mordy)
  3. At least 3 new zones (equivalent to Orr for the new dragon).
  4. At least 2 new dungeons (Fort Vandal and Dragon-slaying one)
  5. An expansion to Southsun (make it larger, give it map completion with skill challenges and vistas)
  6. Side plots in the open world!

And with Feature update:

  1. Improved World Bosses
  2. Precursor crafting/scavenger hunt
  3. New racial skills
  4. New elite skills
  5. New utility skills
  6. More weapons per profession, and not new weapons but more weapon options (e.g., giving thieves off-hand sword and/or rifle with sniping-like skills).
  7. Season 1 becoming permanent and both Season 1 and Personal Story being improved (bug fixes, clarity fixing, fixing Zhaitan fight and most boss fights like Blightghast to be more epic), and all three of Season 1, Season 2, and Personal Story being repeatable.

I don’t expect a new class (a 3rd Soldier is all we need there) or a new race (tengu, kodan, and largos) until Season 3. Soonest will be end of Season 2. Or inbetween the two.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

These posts make me sad. :’(

I feel like I’m the only one left who loves the game. Stick to your guns, Anet! I’m sure season 2 will be awesome!

Which guns are you asking them to stick to, the original “we’re going to revolutionize the genre” guns or the post-release “we sold our ideals down the river and just want to milk as much money from you guys as we can” guns?
