I think this living story update has a lot of merits. The gauntlet is a lot of fun. The crown pavilion is interesting, if laggy. The balloons are a neat concept; it’s nice to see new events spring up around them.
I don’t like that this update leaves me feeling like I’m playing alone. All of the content I’ve experienced so far pretty much requires that you run alone. Yes, there is a giant zerg, but that’s not something you do with a group of friends. It feels more like something you do when everyone on your friendslist is offline and you want to grind out some achievement bonuses (which really shouldn’t be a thing to do…).
I’d really like to see some content that rewards me for playing with one or two good friends, rather than having to play solo or run in a giant zerg with people I don’t know, which might as well be running solo.
Very few of these living story updates have let me connect with my friends, and I haven’t made any new friends while playing them. MMOs are a social environment, but GW2 has been becoming increasingly hostile, competitive and anti-social. I’d love to see some living story updates that have you cooperating with your friends rather than running off to grind ad nauseum.
