Knighthonor.4061 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Why didn't we think of something like this?! I saw this trending on Twitter. Man a Guild Wars 2 version would be excellent marketing and a great way for players to share their experience for the game. 3 1 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 What is Warcraftstories? I've never heard of it before and a search seems to be just coming up with a bunch of fanfic and the official books. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when people were saying Warcraft 3 was lackluster story-wise compared to its predecessors. Were they in for quite a surprise when World of Warcraft came around with its "stories".. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are objectively good reasons to care about what GW2's most successful competitors are doing. Back on topic, I kind of disagree. The thing GW2 should copy from WoW is the short video series that introduce people to the expansion's lore. "Warbringers", "Lords of War", "Harbingers", etc. These are good stuff. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, there are some decent things which the devs could copy over from competitors, Warcraftstories is certainly not one of them. Other things which would likely work well: - short explanations and lore to dungeons/strikes/raids/instanced content with some basic explanations of attack patterns or who that enemy actually is you are up against - a type of lore compendium which you can unlock more and more and go back to and enjoy reading In general incorporate some of the wiki information into the game directly, especially in regards to lore and basics as to ensure a larger audience is exposed to it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 So what actually is Warcraftstories? Contrary to popular belief there are GW2 players who have never played WoW and the only things I've heard about it on Twitter have been...not about the game and certainly nothing Anet would want to copy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronospere.8143 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Geeez. Soo after reading this thread the answer never came what this topic is about. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wow-players-can-get-a-recap-of-their-personal-warcraft-history-with-a-single-tweet/1100-6508840/ Seems it is just a spambot for twitter who makes a compilation of your characters story so far. Well. Thats kind of the same for every main character we have right? Since HoT we didnt have any choices like they did in core story.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 So after all that it's about a bot that summarises what you've done in the game in a tweet? And yeah, all the info on what your character has done in GW2 is already in the game. There's the story journal for a summary of the official story and achievements for everything else. From the name I was imagining something like the promo Anet did a few years ago where they asked people who met through the game (either couples or friends) to share their stories and then shared them on their social media channels. Not exactly like that of course, since the point is Anet hadn't done whatever WoW had, but I thought it'd be something more meaningful than an achievement summary. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, OP just wants GW2 to copy near everything WoW does, has been agitating for such since well before the game launched. And I'd rather do the ACTUAL fun stuff that's in the game instead of mess around with Bots on the Toxic Cesspit that is Twitter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's even worse, it give like 2 or 3 info randomized on the character You're better off simply taking a screen from gw2effiency and posting it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP didn't say what 'this' is, so most of this topic was people responding to what they guessed something called Warcraftstories would be. And as mentioned (after we found out what it actually is) there already are GW2 equivalents, both in the game and online. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
