Guild Wars 2

I agree with all the people who’ve mentioned bringing the Living Story in the direction of the original story, with the dragons etc.

And going off the idea’s Wooden Potatoes (YouTuber) mentioned, it would be really awesome if you focused more on what’s already there as opposed to introducing all these new random enemies, that feel so temporary… Don’t get me wrong though, the massive Scarlet invasions where an entire zone would turn into a massive event chain was awesome. I just think those kind of large scale events tied into a progressive story somewhat related to the original personal stories would be so much more interesting.

When I heard of the Tequatl update I was so excited for a new massive story arc related to the dragons starting, but I was a little saddened to see it was only an updated boss fight… A very good update though (although every time I go to the boss fights lately the servers are always empty)… but that’s another story.

To add to this, exploring new areas and zones as part of the living story would be great too! These obviously don’t need to be every two weeks or anything. But expanding our horizons in new zones would be fantastic.

In short, my ideal direction for the living story would be something like slowly exploring north to the shiverpeaks in search of Jormag, dealing with small story arcs as we progress. We could unlock a new zone, and venture into it, but it wouldn’t be as easy to explore as the normal areas, you could have large group events blocking certain areas that people need to overcome together to gain access to the different corners of these zones. This with some hiccups along the way that could take up 4-6 updates worth of content before we progress further to the next zone.

In summary, a number of smaller side quests and events that slowly explore new zones, but lead towards the larger goal of fighting the dragons as well. At the moment we seem to have these side quests and events, but they all seem very out of place and random, and after it all we’re still no closer to saving the world from the dragons…
