Sarrs.4831 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 To be honest I don't even mind having a bit of a break from new content. It's given me time to digest what we have. I know some people feel differently and would prefer more content but personally I'm okay with having a bit more time, and I hope it means they've had more time to make the upcoming content better than it would otherwise have been. Not like the game runs on a sub model and you need to get constant new content to get your moneys worth :D 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilkemia.8507 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I am glad they brought it back in some form, especially since it was within their capability to do so. There was no good reason to leave a gaping hole in the story like that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 LWS1 is "new content" for me, who didn't get to experience Scarlet's War when it was live. I started playing right after Daybreak was released. Now I can actually go back and be properly introduced to this cast of characters that my Commander is supposedly so close to. It always felt more like talking to a group of total strangers who got the Commander confused with someone else, and at this point he's too scared to admit he actually doesn't know them.

Tiviana.2650 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I for one appreciate LWS1 I never played when it was active, never saw old LA didnt really connect scarlet to everything. This is an amazingly good LWS i am really enjoying it. Finally my account can be complete and this makes sense now 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eekasqueak.7850 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm hoping they have plans to revamp Eod maps going forward along with what they said about adding another. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I am happy for those who wanted LS1 back. This time spent looking back rather than forward meant saving some money (and time for other interests) for me as I do not spend money (or as much time) on games that show no forward progress. I guess it is a win/win. 1 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game spends a few months fixing a hole in its story that's been there for YEARS after having completed a DECADE long narrative and you say the game has no "Forward progress"?

Gehenna.3625 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Some people love LW1, some hate it, some will think it's ok, others will think it's meh and even others don't care about it at all. Regardless of all that, I am looking forward to (hopefully) LW6 or whatever they will call it. Still hoping some Kurzicks fled deeper into the Echovald Forest or an island, and we can rediscover their culture with a cool story line. And when we find them, we will be able to get the cool Kurzick armor design that was available in GW1. And of course the same for the Luxons, but I was more interested in the Kurzicks personally. Wishful thinking? Perhaps or even probably, but that's what I would like to see in any case. Cantha is futuristic enough, so I'd like to dig around in the past a little more. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take issue with how your spending, I myself can't spend money on any games right now, but what I take issue with how your characterization the situation regarding GW2's narrative progress. They've been progressing the story fairly consistently for a decade, maybe not in ways that are always to everyones desires (see IBS) but they've been continuously progressing none the less. Taking a few months to back track in fill in a missing section verses Ten Years of story just IS NOT "Showing No Forward Progress". 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a few months to back track in fill in a missing section verses Ten Years of story just IS NOT "Showing No Forward Progress". By definition going back to make changes to something that is most of a decade old is not moving forward. That the lack of forward movement is a matter of only eight and a half months doesn't change that fact. I doubt very much (but would be delighted to be wrong) that we will see significant new content before EoD's one year anniversary. Had LS1 been released alongside new content that moved forward, my take would have been different. As it is, some consumers got what they want to justify spending their money. Others did not. As I said, I am happy for those who got what they wanted and I have saved a significant amount of money to spend elsewhere. And do remember that one person's, "a few months," is another's, "most of a year (likely at least a full year) without significant new story content." At this point ANet will have spent close to a fifth of GW2's lifespan on LS1. Edited November 10, 2022 by Ashen.2907 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to care about this game's story, such as it is at this point, and a plurality of the player base does as well. Secondly, an intellectually honest person would remember that the DECADE'S worth of Story I spoke of came with Game Play content such as New Maps, Dynamic Events, New Weapons skins, New Armors, New Accessories, Elite Specializations, Mounts, Gliders, and various other additions to the totality of this game. Nor would an intellectually honest person call the original Season One a content drought as it was focus primarily on Game Play events with the narrative existing as a support to that rather than the other way around. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morvran.8265 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Of course people wanted season 1 to return, no question. The whole temporary content thing was silly. Yet if Anet asked people if they're willing to go 1 year without any new content to make it happen I suspect the answer would not have been a resounding "yes" despite what some posters claim. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizel.1839 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) I feel like everything post EoD was made for newer players (steam, rework of leveling, re-release of S1). Nothing new and interesting for veteran players who were already here during original S1 or before...

Val.7826 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 People here already complaining about the absence of new contents are probably the same people who rush the completition of every expansion or LW the first 2 weeks after release. Just take your time and enjoy content, game designers don't need to be rushed, maybe they just covered this year with LW1 to rearrange thoughts for newer contents. Patience fellas! 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to reread what you quoted because I never claimed anything about such a memo. In fact I have specifically, and repeatedly, said that I am glad for those who wanted LS1's return. The fact that they, you, wanted it and are happy about it, doesn't change the fact that it is backward facing rather than forward. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt rush EoD, nor do I rush LS chapters. I tend to wait for a bit so that the maps are less crowded before starting. Also, we are not talking about two weeks here. Its been going on nine months and seems likely, IMO, to be at least a full year from EoD release to the beginning of whatever new content comes next. Accusing those who want new content more frequently than once per year of being impatient, or implying that they are content locusts is a bit off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
