Enough with the zergs already...

Why is it every patch has to require a zerg to play?

I guess it’s cool for everyone else, but personally I can’t even play this stuff. I’m on a university network, and my university hates zergs. I mean, I can’t even get skills off or talk in chat. Crazy lag. No, it’s not my frame rate.

Really getting nostalgic about Guild Wars 1 instances… :/

Another alliance? really?

What’s next? The Hoof-hop Alliance? (Centaurs and Hylek) Give me a break….

Here’s an idea, focus on a single enemy’s progression. Why do we always have to have an “alliance” between two factions that have no business being together? And for god’s sake…please kill off Scarlet.

In Guild Wars, I was so intrigued by the lore. It was a universe with very much depth; full of dark & light stories that made it feel natural. It was almost as if Tyria had existed at it’s own point in time, with all the cultures and history that made it a world. Now we have Sky Pirates, cliche 80’s cartoon villains, alliances between xenophobic races that have no business together…it’s just getting ridiculous.

In Anet’s defense, I was really glad to see them actually acknowledge the krait’s history, and that they are very xenophobic, so this alliance is unusual. Still, at the end of the day, everyone with a cranium know it’s Scarlet once again. I mean, I’ve seen some really good theories about Margonites, Mordremoth, and even Dhuum being involved in this that would make for a great, lore-fitting story. But these are just pointless. When we get to the top of that tower next patch, and Scarlets up there with all sorts of ridiculousness, we’re just going to be crushed. Once again..

Pretty please, can we PLEASE get back to the lore that made the 5-year wait for this game so painful, please?

How to write a Living Story:

1. Write every enemy faction’s name on a slip of paper.
2. Put these slips in a hat.
3. Draw two slips of paper. These enemy factions will form an alliance.
4. Hint to that this alliance was forged by a greater force.
5. Reveal that this force is Scarlet.
6. Rinse & repeat

…until I found out that it’s been confirmed that it’s Scarlet again. Like seriously..the Krait are supposed to be Xenophobic??? Why Anet…just WHY?!?

Please kill her already and move onto the older, interesting lore.

Sincerely,
The majority of the playerbase
