Overall, I thought that Daybreak was the strongest Living World release to date and here is why. The Big Things:The raid, fractal, Living World episode all felt like they belonged together. All three mediums tell a different, yet interconnected story, and that's how it should be. Raids allow us to face challenging foes who deserve more than a quick death in some story mission. The Underworld was the perfect choice of location coming off the story of what's happening with the realm of the Gods. Fractals allow us to delve into Tyria's past and explore the backstories of Living World characters like Joko and the Sunspear dervish who he turned to his side. Fractals also allow us to step into the shoes of other people throughout history and experience it first-hand—something that adds depth to the present day story. That brings us to Living World, the present-day story of constantly evolving episodic drama. In Daybreak, we witnessed the beginning stages of a plot that will affect all of the northern continent's governments equally, and that makes for good drama. When all three stories are woven together in this fashion, it feels deep and rewarding to explore all three facets. The story told together by all three mediums is stronger than the individual parts—that's called synergy, and up until now it's been lacking. Keep releasing content like this and you will continue to impress me with the depth of your story. The Little Things:In Episode 1: Daybreak, the stakes were both epic and personal. Saving the world all the time gets really boring unless the PC's actions are driven by a personal commitment like the bond they share with Aurene and Dragon's Watch. Stories are all about relationships and Daybreak allowed us to see just how far the Commander would go for the people he/she cares about. In terms of gameplay, the battles also felt epic—especially the skirmishes fought between the Mordant Crescent and Sunspear armies, but also with the Great Hall Warden whose story was told through the Fractals of the Mists. Lots of bodies on screen makes it feel like a real battle.Old characters from GW1 were handled well, giving us closure on Koss's story but also giving us some insight into his odd relationship with Margrid the Sly whose descendant is still running the family business of piracy.The jail break mechanic was tailored to the PC's profession. Being able to solve problems using profession mechanics is really cool and it makes me feel like we're really solving problems with our own skills, not just some convenient plot macguffin.That's all I have for now but there were so many little things I was impressed with that I can't even list them all. Details are important to me and Daybreak got it right, down to the little things.
