Guild Wars 2

I enjoyed the personal story myself. Shame it only lasts till your about level 20, and then becomes the Trahearne Show!

I have so many characters where they have done the actual personal story bit and then are one or two bits into the Trahearne Show portion of it (which is the great majority of your supposed ‘personal’ story) and I have just lost interest.

Personally I find Trahearne to be one of the most boring, unlikable, tedious and quite frankly irritating characters I have ever met. If ever there was an NPC that did not deserve greatness, it is him.

Added to that, the way the story develops after Trahearne makes an appearance is just terribly, terribly dull. It isn’t even remotely interesting, and you feel no real investment or attachment towards the characters you meet. Some of the worse story telling I have seen in a while, with pointless cut-scenes elbowing their way in all over the place to really add to the tedium.

Now I am not saying that the player character should have the pivitol, world defining role. But I also don’t think that we should suddenly become super, best, bestest, best friends EVER!!! With the talking vegetable that is (Trahearne ). Seriously, that guy is so negative and boring, anyone meeting him would run a mile – not befriend him. It would have been much better if your personal story remained focused on the player, and the little things they do to help which help the bigger picture. Believable things, like freeing captives here, small raids there. Maybe take the personal story into instances now and then, not just at the end (which is jarring to say the least. You do the whole personal story solo, then have to group for a dungeon run at the very last stage).

Just found this out a short while ago, but despite it not being mentioned on any of the forums posts I could find; a guy in our Guild says that apparently (according to some livestream at some point /shrug) they are nothing special to the tournament. And you will get the finisher at the same time everyone else has access to it when it comes out in the Gem Store. As to when that is, I have no idea. Sorry.
