Super fun guild!

Its a mess and out of order. clean it up

Back when lore didn’t revolved around 5 cliche and comical characters…

I couldn’t agree more. At this point the lack of new content has basically driven my guild to an all time low and myself away from the game. Waiting 4 months for 2 months of mediocre content isn’t worth investing time into.

I honestly can’t believe this is how the game is now. Its like I’ve woken up in a nightmare. Good thing Warlords of Draenor comes out soon.

I’ve been trying to get my friends into GW2, but with these new leveling changes they thought the game was a joke. You can’t even die in the first instance. Maybe if they had rebalanced the personal story and added a more comprehensive tutorial on how the game worked at early levels…. people would enjoy it more. This new patch is for inept preschoolers. Just make it a kids game now since anything with a brain will be avoiding it.

This really nails my current feelings.

2 years later… and we have 2 new zones and 1 new dungeon path, which took the place of an old one. New wvw map… and a bunch of features that the game needed. The new patches have been cool for the 30 mins it took to play, but beyond that this game is going nowhere. The devs have lost touch with the player base. Telling us what we want…. FoV… First person… SAB. All things it would take no effort to put into the game but they won’t do it. Honestly what are they doing over there.

There really isn’t enough new things to do. Sure this stuff is cute and fluffy but what about new dungeons? new missions? new things to do? WvW has also gone stale.

With nothing other than the living world in store for us in the future, and a few new features. My light for this game is starting to die. I’m a huge fan of the living world and think it is great content. We just aren’t getting enough… how many updates do we have? 20 a year? If that….. The updates just aren’t big enough. My guild is struggling to keep people interested. We have been running the same dungeons and missions for over a year now and people are leaving. I really want to see more from this game… everything about it is great. I guess I’ve just gotten everything I can out of it for now.

To start, I love the new maps being added to the world. By far some of the most exciting game play I’ve experienced thus far. I am looking forward for more. Its just that it has been 2 years of the same missions, dungeons, and other facets of the game. I would really love to see those expanded upon with the living world. A new rush in dry top, or even a puzzle. A new story dungeon out in the wastes. A pvp reward track for the wastes. I would expect that these things are coming I just hope that they arrive soon. Myself and guildies are really burned out of the bounties and missions and dungeons at the moment and a breathe of fresh air in those domains would go a long way.

The last half of the PS is killing risen….. And the NPC’s all die right away. Sure it is easy if you go back at lvl 80 and do the missions… but trying to do them while leveling alone is a pain… and the story itself doesn’t fit together unless you play every mission which you can’t unless you make alts.

I know the devs like to be all secretive and what not, but announcing or giving us a tease of whats to come wouldn’t be harmful. What are the long term goals of living world? How many seasons in the future? Will they fill the expansion void? You can keep the story secret… but I mean come on. Give us a blogpost or QnA and let us in. Don’t mind the people who cry on the forums they will always cry, but I want to make sure I’m investing into this game and its gonna be giving me the epic content I want

2 years later and we still are playing through the same unbalanced and poorly designed missions in the Personal Story. Not to mention the tragic ending which was rushed and forgotten. While the new living story season is on track to be fantastic… New players still have to play through the horror story that is the personal story. The first few missions are engaging and fun… but the pact and order missions are a mess. Some missions go from easy breezey to impossible in a few seconds.

I think arena net needs to make a team and spend some time reworking and making old missions repayable and fun. Make the story easier to understand and balance the missions. And give us an ending and dragon fight we will remember. I can’t see these efforts going to waste. Yes I know we all want new content but a fix like this would bring this game to a new level.

I made this post thinking I was clever with the dragon comment…..

I’ve been thinking. Living Story is a lot like game of thrones… in the sense that we are still waiting for dragons….

I am eagerly awaiting the release of Season 2. This past few months have renewed my faith in arena net and I’m ready to explore Tyria and expand the universe. There is just one thing missing… a trailer! Nothing builds up to an expansions like a tease at whats to come. Ingame or HD graphics… I don’t care. I want something I can watch 50 times and speculate and fangirl over. This is just my opinion. I feel the resources aren’t wasted because trailers you can spread and share and really get people interested in whats to come.

I would really just like to know more about what they have planned. I’ve had fun with all the kicks and giggles from season 1. But I’m really looking for that feeling of buying an expansions pack and having vast new content to explore. Not just little story bits.

Story journal just brought my hopes up. TY anet. take my money

Will the content in season 2 be on par with that of an expansion but presented over the course of the season to develop the world? I love gw2 but running the same missions and dungeons the past few years is really bring down the moral of myself and my guild. I really hope they expand the Gw2 Universe with new content, stories, dungeons, armor etc. Not just expanding the gem store.

Finally SOMETHING!

She just heard back from them. I hope this is a good sign

One of my fellow officers of the Guild Love & War was hacked on march 25th and still has not go a response from her ticket. Why is it taking so long? She is locked out of the game and forums so I’m here posting on her behalf.

Why would they do that? Blizzard was great about restoring things for guilds and players in a timely fashion.

Hi. I’m an Officer in the guild Love & War on blackgate. recently one of our officers was hacked and the hacker looted her bank. She has opened a ticket but its been a week now and no response. We haven’t really faced a problem like this so I’m looking for advice on how to proceed. We have pictures of the bank logs, we a fair sum of gold, blueprints, and etcos. Does anyone know what we can do?

As the title says. An ETA would be nice.

IMO a lot better…… To much time wasted on this half rated story and zerg content…. The name needs so much polish yet its just wasted on this lame lore that 5 people care about.

I understand that LS was new and that it was tested out and things were kept secret…. but as LS Season 2 starts. (Whenever that may be.) We should be informed as to when it starts in advance and what future content is coming. I don’t like being left in the dark until patch day……

I recently listen to the song Fear Not This Night, and every time I listen to it, it pulls me into the Guild Wars universe. The art, the characters, the lore. I felt that over the last year, the Living World didn’t really connect with my guild wars one experience or the personal story. New characters, new plots, and new mechanics. At first it felt slow, but as the year went on… everything grew stronger. This story arch did succeeded in the end. Watching scarlet dead on the floor made me feel sorry for her… but watching the dragon awaken made the sense of danger more real. I love the peril that we face as these unbelievable forces work against us.
I really hope that we can move on past Season 1 and return to the lore set for us in the Personal Story, if not clarify points from the personal story. I hope if can bring lore and characters from Guild Wars back into the picture. I hope it can carry on the tales of the new characters. We need a sense of unity and I feel the death of scarlet has set the stage for just that. I’m not looking for another year of waiting each week for another part of the story only to piece it all in the end. I’m looking for a story I can hit the ground running with and be able to look back to how I got here. I have high expectations for this season and am ready for some expansions worthy content and lore. I want to be afraid of these dragons. I look forward to the future.

I can’t tell if you are a troll or just stupid.

Kamohoali’i Kotaki and The Flameseeker Prophecies

There are plenty of other faceroll world bosses you can go fight. If you can’t beat it than its not meant for you. Its meant for those who can.

lordkrall.7241:

She is not “behind it”. She is invading the Mists (which we have known for quite some time that she were trying to do) and we need to stop her.

I for one love the fact that they actually give us a reason for a new map suddenly appearing rather than just logging in one day and all of a sudden there is a completely new land available.

What I mean to say is they could give us… non scarlet lore… for something that seems far from scarlet. I just don’t like how everything goes back to one person.

I’m really not surprised Scarlet is behind this, or whatever this is. I just hope its hope a good reason. I was really impressed how they handled scarlet’s story in this last patch. But I really hope this isn’t a thing Anet will due in the future. Bringing lore into all game changes just to say there is lore involved. We shall see.

I feel like the orders of Tyria play such a big role in the lore and have just been completely forgotten by arena net. Perhaps with Living World they can introduce a type of quests system where you get “Missions” from your order. Missions can be similar to events like guild Challenges or Puzzles but doable solo or with friends. They could send us all over the world and even into new zones! Great way to carry on other small side stories that have been introduced and never finished throughout the GW universe. Missions of course would be instanced and permanent. So that players could always be able to catch up on the story.

They could still give a more definitive picture as to how they will go about bringing xpack like content. That’s what I expected the living story to be like.

Can a dev please tell us if its a dungeon or new type of meta or something? I mean these vague trailers with vague text blocks and lacking background knowledge about why we are doing any of this bugs me! Anet needs to be more open about their plans an ambitious and give us a timeline or something. We have nothing to look forward to but the bi weekly hints and even then information about what is really going on is limited.
With WoW we have blizzcon which builds up so much hype and excitement! We need something like that with Gw2. Panels where Devs detail the future story, dungeons, and plans for the living world. These half grade biweekly achievement grinds with flat characters aren’t going to last long term. I just hate seeing this universe with so much potential wasted because of such silly things.

The krait realize they are Xenophobic and kill her on the spot. Then go about doing evil with their obelisk. crosses fingers

None of the new players know whats going on with the scarlet story… and all of the old players want GW lore and all our old stories to come back. The solution seems easy and obvious to me… I hope ANET comes off their high horse and gives in.

I really hope this Krait update follows krait lore and is all about the prophets etc and goes deeper into that story. IF this turns out to be…. a scarlet did it because shes evil I quit. All I want is Guild Wars, not Random Carnival Story-time with arena net. Nothing bad can come from moving to coherent stories already in the guild wars universe.

That was one of the best pvp modes they have added to the game! Its assets and everything are made it shouldn’t be much effort at all to put in the game! I don’t understand why they wouldn’t….

Discuss. I hope ANET sees this.

At the moment the living story feels like a “Random Story” with discounted plot lines that are meant to be connected somehow through the villain scarlet. Well I’m thrilled with the idea of a new story every 2 weeks. I believe the execution thus are has been very sloppy in regards to the lore of the game and how they want to tie game mechanic revamps into lore.
I believe events such as Tequalt getting stronger or revamping dungeons shouldn’t be part of the living story, as they are fixes that were needed since the launch of the game. The living story should have some way of keeping track of the chapters in game so all players can understand the current state of the story. The story should not be discounted fragments that come together into one “ah ha” moment, but rather a story smaller stories that are built on the current cliff hangers from leveling in gw2, and bigger stories of gw1. New encounters/zones/dungeons brought into the game via living story should be permanent and should be involved with the lore of that chapter. This provides a safe way of making the world feel like its growing and expanded on the well know lore and things we saw while leveling. The carnival style “brand new lore” being written every few weeks will only keep people entertained so long.
Now for the dragons….. I feel Anet should push a X pack, or some type of major release every year or 6 months (like gw1) Where we get a new chapter in the Personal Story (separate from living). This provides an advancement of the big dragons story line and would allow for implementation of regions/races/weapons… stuff you would see in a normal Xpack.
I feel like this blend of smaller stories as filler for Pve content will give endgame PvE a more enjoyable flow. The current state is choppy/grindy. Where as these smaller stories could provide new “mission” type quests and other new mechanics rather than carnival style game play.
TL;DR Separate Living Story patches & Game revamps. Introduce Large Content drops every months/year. Don’t make the living story one big story following a villain, but multiple different treads that impact a certain part of the world and bring new types of quests/missions with hard modes that result in permanent changes & new paths to current dungeons.

Can WP just write lore……

Why won’t they fix it? Blizzard was great about account restoration when I played wow. Doesn’t seem like its that hard to me.

I feel this is the new cop out behind every patch. Shes crazy so she does bad things is not interesting lore….. The Aetherblades, steam creatures, and molten alliance don’t really have an explanation at all. And this whole Tequalt thing looks like its gonna be a scarlet did it moment. Can we just…. finish this story arc up…. maybe look back at all the current lore teases in the game from Gw1 and expand on those in some compelling stories. With epic story missions… and maybe some new mechanics and stuff… not just hot air balloons or dragon holograms.
Just because they make the boss harder doesn’t mean they need a lore story behind it…… We can just pretend its been that way forever. And get back to fighting dragons or something….. unless scarlet killed them all or something.

I would agree. I can’t handle another year of carnival events and go touch this achievements. Where are the intense story missions? New questing zones, new dungeons, new bosses. Its been a year. Everything we have gotten has been revamps of the current world. At one point the current world will get pretty boring regardless of how many times you change the LA fountain.

Challenging content is great! This reminds me of good ol’ vanilla wow. LONG DUNGEONS. And hey the rewards aren’t top notch but thats a good thing. The players who play better get done faster and get more rewards! I really hope all the QQers don’t discourage ANET from making future stuff harder. I love that I can’t and don’t have the time to do everything. Its making the world feel more diverse and challenging. I get the sense that I may not be epic enough to complete all the content. And those who do have earned it. I hope more people feel this way… I don’t want them to dumb down the game.

And this is just a side note, but perhaps they can make the actual dungeons as fun as SAB lol. The storm wizard fight is really fun.
