I like the idea that things are happening, but this so called teaser doesn’t seem to be teasing at much. What the developers want me to be aware of is that The Flame Legion and Dredge are working together and driving out Charr and Norn. That’s good and all but this only intrigues me on a superficial level; the changes just aren’t deep enough to get me invested in all your efforts. What kinds of social and psychological effects will this have on the inhabitants of Tyria? What kinds of cultures are lost. How is the economy being affected? How are the pre-existing NPCs reacting to this change?I know these questions don’t sound interesting, but to make an actual “living” story, the story needs to address issues on this level.
And I agree with the TC’s point. The objectives are far too vague. If you want something of a scavenger hunt, you need to at least give some clues, and “somewhere on x map” is not a very good clue.
