As a new player, I am not even sure how the Living story stuff works yet, lol.
They have already stated LA will be fixed in future content. It was a forum post a month or 2 back.
Gating the LS behind the expacs does not mean vanilla Tyria is out of action. S2 gates the story, it still changed vanilla Tyria.Also, even in the infinitesimal chance what you say is their plan…..plans change.
The Living World will no longer be changing Pact Tyria in a way that vanilla players will be able to interact with it, according to Colin’s own words. We may see Lion’s Arch get fixed before HoT but if what he said is true it means it won’t be happening after HoT is launched.
I could be wrong, hey, maybe he misspoke or didn’t understand the question but it boils down to a very simple point:
“Will players without the expansion be able to participate in the living world?”
“No.”
That sounds like to me, that the expansion living world section can’t be played without the expansion.
Reading all this, I admit I am confused. Is the OP, saying that if I don’t buy the expansion, I can’t play in the game at all? I only have 50% of Tyria map out and slowly getting up so not ready for the expansion yet my self, and I am just confused by a lot I am reading, or that some people are assuming the worst at the start.
That is not what he is saying. Don’t worry, when the expansion releases, you can continue doing what you have been doing, whether you buy the expansion or not. Buy the expansion when you are ready to tackle that content.
I thought so, it just the way people were making it sound, I just felt better by the clear up
