Guild Wars 2

@HKC Best wishes. We have some really strong Christian lead guilds in NA (LOE/SALT/LORD/FIRE) and there is nothing odd about it.

@FlamingFoxx, you are absolutely correct, I’m definitely questioning the value of this game.

In regards to your questions or points about good stories and relationships…this is a game and there isn’t enough cut scene time or storybook time in a game to capture a real story. I read books for good stories. I play games for the visualization and collaboration. There needs to be a story line of course, but! use the little time that you have in that story to accomplish something. Avoid degrading so quickly into pointless plots.

Don’t question me on compelling stories or my use of ebook (electronic book…emm I have LotR on my phone) when you feel that what Anet has created here is compelling.

@FlamingFoxx, I think my point was more along the lines of “read a book if you want a real story”. This is no ebook. Tell me about the dredge and the dragons. Get me into the story so that I know what I’m trying to save/obtain/stop/etc. Anet, give me graphics and avoid pushing ANY of you player base away.

@Erukk, I like the the little story you put together there. I want to know more about the evil character you mentioned and how I can stop him. I’m glad he drops good lootz too Your story pulled me in more than the story of the NPCs we are supposedly interested in learning about. Braham and Rox for example…I liked when they were leading us into a battle or dungeon. If they start having tea together…I"m not going to really care. I guess that is what the skip button is for.

Writers, GW2 is actually quite famous for the teen rating that it has. I’ve never played a game where so many people let their kids watch or even run around exploring the world for them (not Orr though). You don’t need content that can make people question the rating or subject matter. Stay famous, leave real world topics alone. There is so much to choose from, why walk the line and question portions of your audience? Focus on fantasy and adventure and you won’t lose anybody. Don’t set your audience up to flame each other when these topics make it to the forums or /map chat. Use the living story to get us into content, let our actions be the final scene. Too much skip button content so far. You can do better.

Personally, I think you are absolutely wasting our time. I (we) play for fantasy —> beasts, dead things chasing us, shiny objects that cost a lot, saving the world. Come on! Real life things happen all day. Give us content to play and use the LS to get us to it, period. Nobody actually cares that much. Give us more dungeons and paths. Give us end game content. Fantasy and relevant stuff. Stick to it and you will win.

We periodically revisit this instance in hope of the fix………I can’t believe how many people are still waiting around for this. I hope the Mad King was not a higher priority than the main story.

So much has been done right, get this fixed.
