Aphrodite.6950 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I really hope that living story season 1 will be able to play through again (or for the first time for new players) at some point, for an event maybe? I think it would be really neat to get to relive it all and get to see the season again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelisk.4527 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Like a memory? That would be cool, just please ANET don't slap on some cheesy brown-tint filter (personal story). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasida.4085 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 LOL doubt it will ever happen, you just had to be there (busy time with constant content) plain and simple . At least you have a well done video ;) GL though. There are a large number of this same topics out there. Never know really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphrodite.6950 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 I've just been recycling older living story episodes and wanted to go through s1 again. Notice me senpai (anet)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 This is the kind of thing that fractals make so much sense for. Travel back in time and relive moments in time. LS1 in pieces via fractals. Same thing could be done with living story events that are introduced and replaced in time. Picture a version of Marionette fight lived via a single lane/platform where your party is fighting thru the stages of that fight with NPCs occupying the other platforms. That way we keep the living story but also allow people that might have missed it have a chance to experience some of the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the filter doesn't make sense when you go back to LA before it was destroyed by Scarlet in the PS. The filter makes it look like a memory. For new players, this would be confusing because according their character, they are experiencing it NOW. Brown filter? We don't need no stinkin' brown filter!

But apparently converting it all to single-player/small group instances takes nearly as much work as creating it originally, so either it would take a very, very long time to do or they'd have to put new releases on hold while they work on it.I keep hoping we'll hear that they have been working on it very slowly around other things (what my company calls 'doing it off the side of your desk') and it's going to be released eventually. But I have no idea if they are doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper Cutter.9376 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Almost everything worthwhile from LS1 has already been salvaged. You could probably make a Marionette fractal and some sort of Lion's Arch battle fractal and that would pretty much be the last of it.The rest is best forgotten.

Maulclaw.4365 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Just add LW1 back to the game.Oh. Wait.That's not gonna happen, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamyAbaddon.3265 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'm not sure if this will help but I made a 3hour and 20min GW2 Season 1 movie that retells the story from the very beginning to the end using lore narrations and in game cutscenes.
