Q:

Hello,

So I just started playing again after not logging in for about a year and a half. I was on part 7 of the storyline when I stopped playing. While I’ve been gone, apparently there has been living world seasons 1 and 2. If I go and finish the storyline now, will things be out of order/ messed up? (I’m a sylvari guardian).

I ask because there was another thread saying that some things were out of order and that people perhaps should wait a bit for a fix before completing part 5. I’m already past part 5, but since I completed it a while ago I don’t know if my storyline is affected or not.

Thanks.

A:

In the end the story/lore will be just fine, a small part of the story won’t make sense to you the player.
What happened that that a piece of the PS was removed because of a bug (My greatest fear plot line), and there is a point in the PS that still assume that you did that removed part, so some characters talk with you as they knew you but you never met in game (you meet them in the removed part) but after a few PS steps those NPC are not relevant anymore and the story moves on without problems.

The out of order thing is during the Personal Story.
Living story S1 and S2 are in order and those assume that you finished your PS since both pass after the events in the PS.

So, if you go and finish your PS now, a few things may make no sense near the end but the Living Story will be just fine.

Sorry, I should have been a bit more specific.

If I go on finish my personal story now (I’m on part 7 now, and I’m a sylvari guardian), will it be messed up/bugged (you already answered this but I want to be a bit more clear). I don’t care too much if it is different than before, as long as it makes sense within GW2 and the lore. If It won’t make sense, will it go back to normal after living story season 2 ends? I’m guessing it won’t, since heart of thorns continues living story I believe.

So, related more to what you said (that it won’t make sense). Will it just not make sense to me, or will it not make sense in terms of the GW2 story/lore.

Maybe if I could get an example of how it is messed up I will better understand the changes. What happened to the story to mess it up (if it is messed up).

It’s that a few story steps have been removed, but not entirely, so the narrative seems a little strange at times and references stuff that never happened. The lore is still fine, it’s just… like reading a book where the author has decided to remove a chapter, but accidentally left a few paragraphs in.
Either way, official word is that they are in the process of restoring the plotline in question (“My Greatest Fear”), but don’t have an official release date yet.

It won’t impact the Living Story in any way, lore-wise or story-wise; those two things are only connected in that the PC is the main character in both.

PSA: The amount of small felines serves as an indicator for just how angry I am at something.
