Guild Wars 2

OT:

Hi! I just want to give some general tips as an old GW1 and GW2 player for making GW2 lore interesting and better:

1. Old story lines

Take old story lines from GW1 and finish them in GW2. There are so many stories in GW1, where we still don’t know how the stories ended. What happened with Evennia in Old-Ascalon? What’s happening on the floating fortress in Kessex Hills? Is it still the same old mage as in GW1?

I know GW2 is supposed to have his own story, so new players can have a easy access to the GW universe but the story of GW2 has its basics in GW1. We need way more references to GW1.

2. More political aspects and conflicts

The lore of GW2 needs way more political aspects. We have five races which are so different to each other. They are so different, there must be conflicts! Even with peace talks between human and charr, there is still a long way to go, that they would call each other “partners”. In this state of living story, it seems like everything is so peaceful between all five raves. It shouldn’t be like this! Humans and charr still hate each other, norn are thinking Queen Jannah is weak! What about sylvari racism? Kryta wants to assimilate Silverwastes! Why would charr allow humans to do that? Humans are still a potential enemy! This is a great foundation for political conflicts! The big enemies are the Elder Dragons but the process of rapprochement between all races is going way to fast! Stop it! Now!

3. What happened elsewhere?

You want to design GW2 as a “living” game, where the world is changing every day. So if you want to do so … get a chronicle. Tell the players what happened elsewhere in Tyria. With “Echoes of the Past” every lore aspect will happen in the Silverwastes for the next weeks. But in these weeks there is still something happening everywhere in Tyria. The world is not frozen! With the reformation of the Mouvelian calendar, you have the best requirments to publish a chronicle where players can read what happended elsewhere in Tyria. With every content update, we can read: "Modrem invaded Silverwastes, peace talks between High legions and humans are going well etc. " This would be awesome for roleplay and lore fans. This little bit of work would make Tyria way more alive.

Thank you for reading!
I am sorry for possible grammar mistakes but english is not my native language.

Edit for second point:

The world summit in the Grove was just … bad. The whole display of this big event was just sooo bad. The most powerful leaders of Tyria are coming together to discuss a dragon-sized problem and we only get this? Seriously? The leaders were standing! There were only a few flags, and they were just coming with less then four bodyguards? Such a political event must be huge! Very huge! Take a example from the real political world! Such meetings are huge!
