EotN > The Actual Primordus plot

[Slowpokeking.8720]

The EotN story was focused, let us be able to experience the Destroyers' menace, to stop them coming to the surface and fight the Great Destroyer in the end. Since they are hive mind creatures they don't have much fun to write other than being a huge threat. The ending was amazing to lead into GW2 as well.

 

But the actual Primordus plot was a big meh. The destroyers are still boring as hell because you can't interact with them. Nor do they have any personality. The commanding structure wasn't detailed like the Risen or Mordrem. Nor was the plot really focused enough. Primordus didn't bring anything new to the story, it's just a bigger "Great Destroyer".

I don't disagree and I still think the remnant of Arenanet could have done at least a little better.  But its not entirely unexpected, we aren't dealing with the original Anet, people who actually cared about their game, plus in the last decade there has been a significant drop in story quality across most media including gaming (naturally with exceptions).  Anyway, I'm kinda past being angry about how bad the later half of Irritable Bowel Saga was and am now just bummed out instead.  God help Arenanet if they don't make End of Dragons into a freaking slam dunk, I don't see them or either GW1 or GW2 suriving much longer if its not.  And as bitchy as I can get about a lot of whats happened over the years I genuinely don't want to see that happen.
