I believe it’s all about the story. There’s a lot of things not working with the LS and a lot has already been said about that.
I don’t like this fast rotation of enemies and characters that I already hated in the personal story. You jump from enemies and plot lines faster than the people in the Clock Tower. It’s like… “So, this is happening. Time’s up. Forget those guys, we have new bad guys! And this awesome villain that came from nowhere. Now, forget that too, we have Krait for lunch! And do you remember those girls from 3 months ago? Here they aaaare!”. It’s frustrating. You had something good with the Molten Alliance: in 3 or 4 month it began and (sort of) ended. And we moved on with a new mystery. You are opening too many doors and not closing one. We like closure, we don’t want another “Lost” series. I feel lost with this Scarllet thing and i shouldn’t, because I love her.

I like Scarllet. You need someone like her in this game, she can be your GLADOS. But for someone who sees/knows the universe, she is harmless. I was hoping for more drastic stuff happening. What if she really killed Jenna? Would we move on to some human civil war, perhaps the battle of DR? Seriously. She’s not being bad enough.

The short stories are great. Do you know what would be better idea? Put it somehow in-game and not hidden in your site. I like those stories and I feel we loose a lot not having it in-game. Make it a quest, a special video, an animation, or even a Priory book in the library… People that don’t read those loose a lot. I started to like Scarllet because of her story and not because what I see in-game. I want to know what’s her plan or if she has one at all.
For Dwayna, I even wanted to join her if I could! This could be something big: Scarllet recruiting players. Much like the election of Ellen and Evon. We could choose if we fight with or against her.

Enough with Scarllet (I really like her, thanks for creating her, now make her bad/better). If you maintain this LS thing, please don’t mix more stuff. You can have the dragons, Scarllet, krait, a plague of unicorn quaggans, but (please!) do not mix them all. Scarllet doesn’t have to be everywhere and, as I said before, we need closure in the story. Close a chapter! Molten alliance, sky pirates, more people from the sky and Glint, trying to kill Jenna, a mad dragon, nightmare court meets balloon pirates and now krait!? I really believe it’s enough. I’m already lost at what is or it’s not Scarllet. And I’ve been playing everything and reading the short stories.

More stuff to say!!! I like that the LS invites me to go to maps/dungeons that I don’t visit for a long time. I would like to see major changes like what’s happening in Kessex Hills. I know you had a lot of work making it in the first place, but you can destroy a part a map and let it like that (Great Collapse, anyone?).
More difficult stuff like Tequatl would be great. If this next update it’s not an open world tower with different floors (like Monastery of Silence in Lineage2 or the last episodes of Sword Art Online), I would love to have one of those where I could play (and please don’t say Fractals, because people only do that for the ascended stuff).

An please, please, give us closure in the story part. There’s a lot from the first game that was left untold.
There’s a lot of mysteries from GW1 that you could go back with the living story. Or even world/universe/eternal alchemy that you could explore. And I’m not talking about Cantha or Elona… The humans were brought to this planet right? From where? Is there any asura curious about the origin of some races? Why there’s not a single thing in LS about our Orders? Why there’s no Priory guy looking for artifacts like, idk, some scepter from a looong time ago? Why the hell is there a floating castle and a village of people with pet/slave/controlled elementals?
I get it. Sometimes our imagination goes wild and we are a lot of people, but you can and should use our ideas. We would be glad with that because it showed you listen to some of us (it’s impossible to make everyone happy) and you would be making something that we really wanted to play.
About the rewards: enough with the weird back items. But I sure like the home instance stuff.
But seriously guys: Crystal Desert!

Player and Guild Housing ideas

in Suggestions

Some months ago I was talking with my friends about this subject. I always thought that guild and player housing would be a good way to develop areas that got forgotten somehow, like Southsun Cove. It’s a beautiful area, but even in the full servers you wouldn’t find no one there. This was obviously before the living story give us a reason to get back there.

I really like your ideas. I thought that would be great to make the guild housing something that would move everyone in a guild. At first you could buy the terrain/place where you wanted to build the house. There could be different sizes so even small guild could buy their own (in the end it would be the difference between a mansion or a fortress and a tree house).

I think this shouldn’t be instanced, but an open world area so you could interact with your neighbors and with the living world. That’s why I thought of Southsun Cove, so you had to defend your house from wildlife. Karka attacks would be an even greater event if you and your neighbors had to fight four your own houses.

There could be other guild missions to get materials or help from allies. Imagine that in the beginning you have workers building your house, but it would take a lot of time. So you would do a guild mission to get help from Skritt or Quaggans.

I even thought that you could interact with these NPC’s while they were building your guild house. Imagine that the construction would take a week and at some point you were on the area and you wanted to see how the construction was. The Skritt could be doing nothing, just there… resting… and when you told them to get back to work, they could do it immediately (if you asked nicely) or they would get mad and throw you stones till you get out of there… I have some wild imagination.

The only thing that I would add to your suggestion, Cele.5467, it would be the NPC guild vendor to be a female maid with sassy attitude.
