after a year and a half few things changed story wise..we are stuck in limbo..with a home instance that is useless and the same npcs there..what of the orders?pact?npcs from personal story?racila missions,we dont need expansions per say..we need story content!
^ this guy is right,Order related quests,racial quests,actual side missions for the Pact,or even the good ol´ sidequest with npc´s..anything storywise is better than this..granted we got a huge amount of content in this year and a half on LS..but most of it went away…
^this sadly..+1 man for saying it like it is
you guys pick one….
-More story content
-Guild halls/player housing
-Npc henchmen
-Traditional sidequests related to race/order/pact
i don´t mean to fight him toe to toe in size,only on scale,i mean an awesome final boss deserves an awesome fight,the story till there infantile in some aspects and to happy go lucky as it may be is rather fine,the boss mechanics is the desapoiting issue here,if he resurfaces with tattered wings and severed tail,with holesin his undead body and magic leaking..that would be awesome,perhaps use Pact airships to pin him and fight him pinned down,like with an arm and head free,or something similar..i was not discussion his size only the manner of his defeat
I´m still hoping for a rematch with Zhaitan,i mean it wouldný be pure wishfull thinking for an Elder Dragon with necromatic abilities and related to undead minions to not really have died..it would be awesome to get a REAL shot at him (not the press 2 harpoon fight) and would buy Anet more time to think their nextmove regarding Orr and the game direction in general
Perhaps use the pavillion as an arena for fights against npcs or even players on duels,there is a lack ofpermanent and most of all meaningfull content,if you missed a patch you missed the content,and that is not very new player friendly,also we sorely need more story and lore based content,what of the Vigil?the Priory?the racial choices and personal story ones we made at the start,some havent been touched upon yet,like the human sister that never matters,or the race that you help that simply stand in an empty home instance,to fix those,to bring more life and meaningfullness and more choice to the game would be my desire for season 2

All upgrades and missions available,we are waiting for YOU
livia…..at least i hope its her
the initial choices we made that didnt came to fruition should by now
order missions and advancing their ranks and story
there was a criminal guild that was supposed to be a menace,they are in game and you can challenge them but not much more,im sure a lore wiz kid will give you guys the name of the guild,it was latin i think
what i want is compelling story and gritty fantasy..not this child play of Scarlet and black and white motives
there were talks of a Nemesis a while ago in a blog post,but was never fully done,im sure one of the tech wizz kids can post the Anet blogpost about the nemesis feature here
— Sociopolitical Diversification: Player housing, Guild Halls, and Faction Alliances leading to new game play opportunities, rewards and content.
however the Follower system and personality based reaction holds a very strong grip too
if done properly the guild halls and faction quests could be a breath of fresh air
If they manage to implement
Guild halls
Order,Faction,Racial based side quests
a living story that ends in a proper rematch with Zhaitan
than im good
i agree,we need more gritty story arcs,full of choices and consequenses,and a change in the political scenario in the game,everyone is too good and the few that might be bad or offer an alternatuve arent acting or plotting,Caeducous might campaign after the queens jubilee,or Evon resorting to a smear campaign after he lost,or furthering the centaur agenda
For me I want to see..
- A substantial plot line with quests and conflicts that help evolve the story instead of just a large set of achievements to grind on repetitive game play like kill so many champions.
- With nearly every Living Story a significant change to the culture and quests of the area as well as landscape. With the Nightmare Tree the dev teams missed a chance to make some centaurs become friendly with the adventuring races and even allow for some fragile peace between these factions during and even after the Nightmare Tree.
- More new permanent terrain including new cultures with interesting associated story lines opening up over time with original and permanent quests, dynamic events and dungeons at various levels so that leveling an alt can have some discovery again and so there is more stuff to do with guilds at our own pace since we can always go back to lower level areas and scale down.
- Instead of large Living Story lines that continue fortnightly directly from the last with a big boss constantly reappearing, have quite a few story lines spaced out through the year that have episodes that pop up through out the year occasionally rather than frequently.
this summs it up nicely
yup,also the Order missions and reputation needs to be new content,nothing game changing or out of what it already exists in game but if i have to repeat DE or kill the already existing bosses its a grind,it can be implemented with new dialogue,new things to do,actual mission and order related stuff
— Role Diversification: New skills/traits, new weapons, access to inaccessible existing weapons, infusions and hybrid professions.
— Sociopolitical Diversification: Player housing, Guild Halls, and Faction Alliances leading to new game play opportunities, rewards and content.
— Hero Recognition: Unique Skins, Titles, Rewards, followers and NPC reactions/opportunities based on the players individual feats in the world of Tyria regardless of how he/she chooses to play the game.
i think Chirs summed it up pretty well,if these would appear in game in the very near future i would be very happy indeed
really no one??
i like the meaning to the personality system,nice one guys
So my idea for the Living Story after the Scarlet Arc is the following
*"As your exploits in your Homestead,your Order and ultimately the Pact gain renown,so does the crowd that ears it,this is the Follower System
-A way to bring a bit of Tyria with you,as there is the option of having a follower from the secondary races of tyria traveling with you (skritt scavanger,grawl shaman,quaggan bounty hunter,Largos assassin,kodan warrior,dredge engineer)
-The follower is a non combat npc,it follows you on your adventure,granting only passive bonuses to magic find,crafting,gathering,experience,healing and so on
-Theres the option to customize the follower,he has 3 pieces of armor similar to town clothes
-The follower has an approval meter,the rating goes up depending on the time spent adventuring,and food that you give them and cen be iteracted with saying a few lines
-The food given to the followers can only be crafted from a cook 400+ in level
-When the approval meter is full you unlock a quest to reveal a bit of the past of your follower
-Famous or harder to get followers were unlocked via achievement points,karma,or bought with gems"*
what do you guys think??
im sorry if i got messed up,so its still possible that the gods interfered in the magical nature,the tampered with it anyway and might have jump started the dragons cycle
so whispers and vigil both seem to be on the move
Guild Halls/player Housing
Side Quests related to Order,Racial,Pact
Follower system,non fighting custumizable npc that grant magic find bonuses and so on
So share your norn lineage and awesome backstory guys
i think the dragons who are said to awaken in cycles work as a safe measure against magick abuse,they awaken and cosnume all the magin in tyria in cycles so as to restore the balance,so perhaps the gods granted magic and tyrias denizens abuse it again and so the dragons work to restore balance,by fighting the dragons we are actuall doing a bad job without knowing and Scarlet may have seen this and works to restore the balance aswell and be a little crazy cuz that info might have been too much too
post it in the CDI thread,i really like it and share your view on it,the Order and the Pack are sorely missing out in the story,let the players have Living story arcs through the season,Personal Story and then side stories related to the Orders,the Pact and even the race they chose,this could see a boom in gamers with more content to play and to “play the game how you want to play” as Anet likes to say
be nice Dulfite,hte man is just theorycrafting and asking for thoughts
awesome investigation here guys
since the gender of Mr E is left uncertain,im hoping it is Livia from gw1,she was at some point the Master Exemplr and was alive in the book Ghosts of Ascalon and fairly un aged,hope they involve Canach in this new Destinys Edge kinda group and Mr E is indeed revealed to be Livia
post screens of the Marjory and Kasmeer conversation if you can guys,so the Vigil is mobilizing,Mr. E warns of a coming war and also,Rythlock is not in his office but bound for Lions Arch..also Evon Gnashblade fears an attack on Lions Arch by Scarlet and the DO NOT TOUCH things coming up,possibly related to Scarlet messing with the magic leylines..a lot of subtle changes lately,could it be all related???
awesome post there,keep up the good work mate
so this info is something new right?the map wasnt there all along?
this would be helpfull really
i maintain the awesomeness that started this thread but created a female norn ranger so now i have
Ulfrith Ragnarsson
Astridr Bramsdottir
Guild Halls,Order reputation and mission and non fighting bonus grating costumizable Followers with approval rating and final quest related to their past…this ia it for me,make it happen Chris!
as was pointed out,there are super nice ppl and a small percentage of spitefull ones,stay clear of the more elistist specific classonly or speed experienced requeiremements and you should be fine,but i agree,there is a change,it can be due to a lot moreppl playing the game at launch and it increased the percentage of helping ppl,also being new everyone wasdoing the same so it payed to help out,but i party up frequently,now mostly with my Guild but still,i got a random guy do the L.A vistas,guiding me and helping me out,recently Kor of [MIST] took the time to do the nightmare events with us and guide some new fellas to some local vistas there,there all round nice ppl that are worthy of being added to the friends list,just have to look carefully
depends on the faction reward
Since the Human Gods didnt crete Tyria,my guess is that the former denizens or Gods,that did indeed create Tyria might have used the Dragons as a cycle of reset to the planet,when magic got too out of hand they would consume it all,to keep the magic in check,perhaps we are doing more evil bad than good by stoping them,certainly would be cool if we were just plain wrong,it could go there
To me its all about the story..not Ls actual story,order,racial and pact,we never even heard of them,also Followers/sidekicks/heroes would work and not turn the game away from socail features as long as the guild features were improved (like guild hall,guild vs guild and faction guild approval or statistical missions,like sending the followers away and only seing the result)
Anet talked about a personal nemesis,i would like a reply as to way that was dropped,and a hint of what it could be please
agreed,welcome newbies,weve all been there
