Guild Wars 2

i have never done the dungeon until saturday night. i look for it but never found it until then. but then my group had several problems while in the dungeon. took 2 hours an my group never killed the bosses. it was really hrd to find the dungeon the first day it was released. an i had fun trying it but never completed my living story. an no the dungeon never died yet

Outlaw.3421:

So now that the 4 chapters of Flame and Frost have hit Guild Wars 2 – I wanted to provide some feedback. (WARNING: Long Post)

Although the idea of a Living Story is great, it was not executed as well as in the past. I think taking what happened in Halloween, Lost Shores, and Wintersday would be prime examples of Living Story – just have to create it on a bigger scale. For the record, I enjoy the game and I enjoy the new content – just finding better ways to implement. People will always complain no matter what the changes are, but I hope this is more helpful. i have been really enjoying each week of the flame & frost content but i think that most of the weekes have been missing some events in between the months of waiting for the of frost & flame

Flame and Frost could easily be wrapped up in 1 month. Each chapter being introduced per week instead of per month. Not only does it add content, but it keeps the people checking in to see what has changed (again like Halloween, Lost Shores, and Wintersday). Example of this:

Week 1: Prelude

• Players collect the mementos, fix signs, and light campfires for refugees fleeing
• The refugee camps in Hoelbrak and Black Citadel are created – more people show up as the week progresses (same camp changes as in the January patch)
• Steam vents appear in mountain – more appearing as week goes on.

Week 2: The Gathering Storm

• Storms worsen and more refugees appear – including the Consortium push in Lion’s Arch / starting to build in Southsun
• Collect the items the refugees have lost (2 items for now)
• Enemies appear at homesteads via portals and dredge transports (more portals and enemies appearing as the week goes on)

Week 3: The Razing

• New world events kick off for Rox and Braham
• Braham Event leading to Cragstead Mission – From Hoelbrak, escort Braham to Cragstead. Molten Alliance attacks along the way. Repeatable Event
• Rox Event leading to Hatchery Mission – From Black Citadel, escort Rox to Hatchery. Molten Alliance attacks along the way. Repeatable Event
• Cragstead and Hatchery missions unlocked after escort quest (first time only, won’t be contested. Like Lost Shores when we cleared trees and areas through the island the first time).
• 2 new lost items introduced
• Dead Drop Locations and Sonic Periscopes
• Southsun is developing

Week 4: Retribution

• New Molten Weapons Facility that changes location as the timer goes down
• Ending Cinematics for Rox and Braham
• Final 2 lost items introduced
• Epilogue after Dungeon towards the end of the month
• More refugees in Southsun
• People catch up before patch the next week

Week 5: Next Patch

• Flame and Frost added to Living Story book for replay value / past rewards.

Now realistically, this probably wouldn’t have happened because dev time is limited and other things like WvW and sPvP needs to be addressed as well as bug fixing / new Black Lion items, etc. If it did though, Super Adventure Box may have been a month of it’s own with all the weapon skins, all the worlds, etc.

I know this content is not easy to make and it takes a long time to develop / test, but if you want to push Living Story as a selling point for this game, you need to keep the audience focused on the shiny object. Some people will crank through this in an hour or two. What Living Story elements are left for the rest of the month? Mad King and Wintersday had the same setup with new stuff unlocking as days went by – Living Story can be done the same way. In terms of bugs, they can happen too which you could probably extend my 4 week idea into a 6 week for any problems that may occur.

TLDR: Like past events, Flame and Frost probably could of been condensed into a month. Future events should be like this to keep players involved in a constantly living and evolving world. What went right – new content, dungeon is great with the new mechanics, new missions and cinematics a plus. What went wrong – time duration. Too long of a wait for not too much living story content monthly.

Constructive feedback to improve Living Story for this thread is welcome!

ok i know i am blowing off dust from this but i am curious about lost parts of these mission or events? what happens to rox after the hatchery mission? because after i went back to town i saw rox but went straight to the recap?! and rox could of had a another mission for me (sighs) on recaps ! what does braham do to find the missing norn from cragstead? same i think there is whole lot missing from the start of the prelude fpr me? there should be some missing events from these weeks that would be interest fpr me. an how the molten alliance came togather? i like to keep my content clean so no negative content would be nice

well a lot of people have gone to this web site http://dulfy.net/
you can find all the lost and found item spot in that spot
also you can find the secret messages on that website for flame & frost
it very hard to find the dirt piles when they do not show up
hope this helps you brawson

like to say happy 8th anniversary to arena.net on gw1
may they have many more celebratons in gw2 for the up oming anniversary
what would you like to see as drops?
black lion keys
gems from heaven
more drop items for holiday events

back in october i think they had a sale on these think it went something like 10 keys for 900 gems or something. that just a guess

think this needs to be moved or combined with this one. i know i did not make it very clear.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/flameandfrost/flame-and-frost-retribution-2

so the final battle starts at end of the april on 30th
i am curious as to what the main event will be like
and i am sure that there is talk about it in gw2 today!
i just wish that u could repeat the secret spy over and find more of who they spy is?
hope you have more living story parts besides this one arena net

well if your guild has enough influences or needs help you could help raise some gold?
then you can do guild missions, puzzles, bounties from influences gethered!
what would you like to do with your guild members

i am guessing or sensing wihtin 24 hours theremight be an update or patch
other then that i am patiently waiting until they are ready
this is only part 3 or 4

give the players of gw2 to think about the question asked
and someone might have the answers dodge

i am curious and wondering what gw2 has planned for these 2 days
easter is on march 31st and the april fools falls on a monday april 1st
i am looking forward to my chocolate bunnies and golden eggs :P

by trait limits do you mean the amount used for markmenship on ranger and like that?
and yes it is kind of limiting to have 200 skill point and 70 traits.
it be neat if they increase the traits up little but how can that be done?

i must of missed that queston on suggestion section unknown!
i am curious now what josh input on this and about the new guild puzzles?
and also about the curtain influences for small guilds doing the puzzles?

I am curious why there is not a section in the forums about puzzles?
i see one for the story, dungeons, dynamic and lore?
i do not know if i should put this in the suggestion part or here

well i had maxed my 8 slot slot bank. bought one to see if it would grant me extra slot for my bank but it does not. so i am 480 gems shot an can not trade it account bound. so let see what area. net will do to fix this problem

i have the same issues on logging in and character use. an i think that they are working on a couple things coming up for december wintersday and new years event! in the mean time while they re working on these issues you can always go see your guildwars 1 to play it?!
