Guild Wars 2

I think flipyap.5789’s Destroyer Silvary look amazing. Nice theme, nice armor selection and contrasting colors! Good idea.

As a progeny, Soona was obssessed with the Shatterer’s crystals that she finds to be cute, pink and shiny. When she grew up, she started to study in the College of Stactics. She then discovers those crystals to be incredibly powerfull. She managed, inspired by dredge technology, to create a suit giving her the capacity to canalize the energy of crystal fragments. As she began to walk around with her crystal shards on her shoulders and her special gauntlet to monitor them, her collegues made fun of her. But when she came back from the fight against Zhaitan triumphant, they bow in respect and give her the name of Crystalmancer Soona, giving her a new laboratory to pursue her studies.

Saoshi’s dream was to become a Sylvari. After countless hours fighting the nightmare, he finaly got his hands on a luxurious leave armor, getting closer to his dream. Then, he realized that to become a Sylvari, he would need to choose a specific plant and look like it, not just wearing common leaves. Hopeless, he walked by a pond to wash up his tears. Then he realized he has already achieved his goal. The similarity was uncanny!

I remerber being very excited about Flame and Frost because we were speculating that the story will somehow bring something permanent about Jormag (since it was something going on in the north), which never hapened. Since, I must admit I gave less attention to the story behind the events, doing the Living Story more for the achievements and the loot then for the lore or the story. I think it is because its in game for too short, and does not have a real impact on the world. Some story also were not making sence with the original Kryta lore, it was a bit out of the blue.

At first, I also thought the Living Story was too easy and not really challenging, but then you brought Tequatl, which was very hard and, I must say, impossible for unorganized servors. I did not want to wait for hours in Blackgate to get a chance to achieve it, so after a week of unfortunate tries in my servor, I just gave up and told myself «At least it will disappear soon and we will be able to do Tequatl again». Now its a dead event, nobody does it anymore.

I’m afraid even if something in the Living Story is made permanent, the players will stop doing it once the achievements are completed, if its not rewarding enought. Like the Tequatl event.

Players are eager to complete achivements, use that! Add new challenging achievements to Living Story parts made permanent, like Tequatl or Scarlet. Also, make more Living Story have a permanent impact on the world, like new dungeons, new personnal story, new jumping puzzles, new craftable, activities, new twists on current maps, etc. And, less currencies please.

Even if we are complaining, some desings were very nice and refreshing. The votes were fun, the Christmas event was awesome and soo flavorfull. Keep on the good work, and I’m sure you’ll make it even better!

10/10 It sounds Asura! You all have soo much good ideas! Awesome!
