oOCitadelOo.2381 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Bug ridden chapter at that. Big peeve of mine being at Arborstone .... and you can't place the Lady by the library itself... you put her down on the lowest level then have to go to the upper level and search for books. Like, the layout and plotting of characters were pretty lazy. And the crates were bugged for me, had to log out a few times until it worked correctly. I feel this is a lazy way of pushing content out. Edited May 24, 2023 by oOCitadelOo.2381 11 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShatteredStars.6548 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) I don't mind the story but since connor left, it doesn't have that magic it use to have when he was the lead in eod and whatever other stories he contributed too, also, i miss the living world format, they use to release a trailer for every episode and they were longer episodes, with this new format, it was 2 updates with short content and now we are done with the eod story, so now, what are we going to to do in the coming months content wise.

Farohna.6247 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Hoping this is just the false sense of success, and making our heroes think all is well again. I enjoyed the confronting and healing of some deep wounds to the commander, and the tea house with Canach as my plus one lol. But it feels like a segue between stories, and wrapped up too neatly. Maybe it's just the hint of what really lies beneath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yumi.5170 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I just finished and it was so bad. The memories of 4 ppl and I only really cared about 1. Then the crate kitten that was bugged on my instance. Then the tunnel part, which was totally unfun and made no sense to me. After that the cringe date. Idk, but this felt really bad. Like random ideas but into something that should resemble a story. Like they had yet again to cut stuff and didn't even bother to at least make it feel like a story. Like this was 100x worse then IBS. The end of IBS was rushed, but at least it felt like the important stuff got covered. But this? Idk. Anet really has to step their game up. This has been nothing but disappointement since the great start of IBS. 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) this is the end of end of dragons, its meant to be kind of a recovery from everything that happened. they probably only included an enemy at all because otherwise we wouldn't have any action, and players would be even more upset with that compared to what we got. the next expansion will likely set us off on some new world-threatening action-packed adventure.

ilMasa.2546 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 If I could I would have skipped every single line of dialogue, BUT ofc you cant. So far so good i mean... I decided to mute all the voices and dialogues. Story probably isnt that good anyway so yea. Maybe one day anet will understand that some people dont care to listen to 10 unskippable minutes of Taimi blabbing about only god knows what. 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main reason why a lot of people don't like it is because we were so used to fighting dragons, now since that's over, we have to get used to dragons not being in the story anymore.

Maybe it's just the hint of what really lies beneath. We took care of the minions NOT the big bad. The real demons are in and from the mists. Oni are apparently mortals who have severe demonic corruption so are not inherently demonic. This seemed to be a current exploration of oni assets and new relationships to jade and ley line energy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie.3184 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) It was one of those filler+flashback episodes animes often do every now and then. I was more concerned about how anti-climactic defeating the boss was, with no victory music or cool scene to finish it off. Also Spoiler I don't see Mai Trin as a hero who saved our life, but more like a death-sentenced criminal who was ordered to die for us. 😛 I picked some wilted dandylions for her.

anninke.7469 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) I quite like it. It could have been a little longer and maybe have a bit more tension (I honestly wish the "gadget out of power" wasn't solved that quick and easy) and some of our NPC crew felt kinda out of place here and there. But I still like the release story-wise. I have yet to try out all the other stuff.

Nico.9361 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Signposts with extra steps were my exact words after playing through story. It got me so annoyed I didn't touch any other content released with this patch. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got me so annoyed I didn't touch any other content released with this patch. Which is a shame, because some of it is pretty good. I've done a couple of the adventures at least, in the new zone. I've done the new meta, which I'm not sure I like, but the adventures at least, we fun for me. I wasn't annoyed by the story, but I'm certainly not enamored of it. I think it's the between the next expansion and the end of this one, this is more wrapping up rather than new story and it feels like it. I'd have rather a new story started already, but it doesn't seem like that has happened. They simply tacked this on to EoD, instead of giving it a new chapter, which I didn't particularly like either. Might make more sense when the new stuff comes out, but it throws off how I keep track of stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imba.9451 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Is the phantasm at the end fight always Tybalt? Because my character was with the vigil, and I had Tybalt. Honestly, I am starting to undergo a change of how I feel about this game and franchise: For a long time, I was rather angry about the lackluster writing and wasted potential in the characters. But I slowly feel myself hovering towards insignificance, like I can bring myself less and less to care. And while I bought EoD at release, with a high dose of hopium inhaled, I have absolutely no interest to pick up the new expac as of now. Wich makes me realy ambivalent. I WANT to care about the game. But I also try to tell myself: Let it go, more free time to work on your backlog of games. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes perfect sense to have her included. Yes she did bad things, she also sacrificed herself to try to save everyone. Any person who has any sort of empathy for others can recognize her actions there as being heroic, even if her past actions were not. The world doesn't exist in a black/white duality. Its full of nuance. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
