-I would have liked to see some of what we learnt in EotN about the elder dragons be referred to in gw2.

-Seen more of Destiny’s Edge

- Have you as the character lead and Trahearne be your right hand man if the dev’s really felt he must have absoloutly been a part of the story…

- Have a more epic battle with Zhaitan

We don't like Trahearne *Spoiler Warning* [merged]

I don’t know if I am the only one feeling this way (I have only skimmed through the 9 pages of thread) but lately I have had guild wars 1 and it’s story telling at the front of my mind and compared it to guild wars 2. Best example I can give to explain myself is guild wars: eye of the north. In that story I felt I was the main hero, I guided Jora, Ogden and Vekk. Heck even a quote of Jora made you feel important “This is why you lead” even though there is no mention of you later on. You felt close to the characters, they follow your guidence from the very begining, it didn’t matter that you were not the named hero, you felt it, you knew you lead them to glory and that is all i needed to know. When I logged onto guild wars 2 when it launched, I felt proud to see Jora’s statue in the norn starting area, I bonded with the characters.

You do not feel that with guild wars 2, Trahearne inspired nothing to me, and I always had this irritating feeling about the guild wars 2 story that didn’t let me enjoy it, they characters you cared about and saw you grow from a townie, sapling, apprentice etc into the hero you should have been are replaced by these characters out of nowhere and you’re left feeling like you are floating around watching it all happen and not really making any impact on the story. I really hope Anet takes our feelings into consideration.

Ps. I am sorry if you find this hard to read. I have not posted in a thread in a long time and feel a bit shy lol. I also lost my train of thought when trying to explain so much in one post :S
