Really disappointed with these last 2 chapters and I hope they are are not what happens (in quality and length of story) in the next xpac.

I think the story is going into 2 possible directions dealing with commanders trauma over the past 11(? )years , 1.) Commander could be going crazy because of all the mass amount of magic he/she absorbed over the years from the Dragons Zhaitan, (Mordy and others even more so if a slyvari. Also got Leyline, God, Void, and Ancent magic like Seer(bloodstone), Dwarves, Agony (Murssat) and artifacts(legendary weapons). Commander has been exposed to alot of magic that made lesser beings insane like white mantle. 2.) Story could go towards the gods and their realms like Fissure of Woe, Realm of Truth/Torment etc.

Only threats I could think of from gw1 that are in Cantha are demons of Kanaxai's type, out side of Cantha are the human gods and ghosts of Ascalon. Also we don't know what is east of the Charr empire/alliance other then homelands of the other legions.

I played gw2 just for the story I am not a fan of the melee stacking to get buffs/heals type of gameplay for grp content. I loved gw1 combat a lot more, was more flexible in types of playstyles compared to dps/support only in gw2. Gw2 story is top 1 or 2 story for a mmo I played ties with SWTOR base game story. Though with end of dragons and IBS the story has gotten a little worse.

Story wise no, gameplay wise you can get glitched story journals if you do the personal story at the same time with 3+ friends that are on the same quest with you but different pacts or different choices made like Grenth's temple or Ronarks map..

I would like to know some gw1 open lore also. Where did the gw1 hero go/fate after Cantha? What happened at granite citadel to cause the deaths of gw1 hero's henchmen. Where did the Fiery dragon swords design come from the Gods original world if it was indeed Balthazar's sword? Where are the other bloodstones ? Where are the other portals to mists that Lord Odran made other then tomb of prime evil kings. What happened to Cynn, Mhenlo and Eve? Where did Bone dragons go after gw1? What happened to Evennia? What happened to the Scepter of Orr after Livia was done with it.? What happened to Razah?

Streamers ruin games look what happened to wow When devs started to balance pve and pvp around streamers and their "millions" of followers. That is just 1 example, new world was made for streamers and look where it is now. Hopefully the devs in gw2 don't listen to them.

For Joko and other gw1 NPCS in gw2, a lot of them could multiclass in gw1, Livia was using a mesmer and necromancer skills in season 3. Somewhere between gw1 and gw2 multiclassing came a lot less common. Only modern npc I can think of off the top of my head is Brimestone going from warrior to Revenant though I haven't seen him use any warrior skills since. For other npc skills we don't have some are prepared ahead of time for incase of bad things happening like Jenna and bubbles during white mantle attack. NPCS also don't have all the same skills as the commander does.

I got to agree with Konig, when I recently did that mission again it with context of her and how Anise treats everyone different then Livia I would assume Anise is her daughter or grand daughter. Also her wanting to keep her identity a secret even after the mursat is dead would be she has more enemies and doesn't want anyone else she knows to get her hurt.

I want GW1 LA back thats the old LA

Mist stranger outfit does not dye everything anymore there are a few spots that uses default grey dye no matter if all 4 channels are used with same color.

In path of fire Kormir stated the 6 gods left Tyria and she was the last after Balthazar was chained, so its hinted at he was replaced.

He wasn't close to breaking free, he only had 3 of his 8 chains broken according to gw1 lore. Their was 8 gates keeping him chained and he managed only to break 3. GW1 map. It wasn't his realm either it was his jail made by the other gods. Even in the gw1 fight you can still see chains on him Picture.

Original story level requirements was changed to be every 10 levels from every few levels awhile back and a few things was lost when they did that and i think the in game mail you got telling you about the next story was one of them if i remember right.

IMO Human noble that goes vigil or durmond, or slyvari that goes durmond. Those 2 have the most interactions with other npcs and lore up to icebrood.
