Story is the only problem, classes and content are fine. It just feels like is a secondary irrelevant quest with a lot of filler, using checklist to define certain characters. If I knew beforehand, I would had skipped several if not most of the cutscenes. There is a 30s cutscene of your WoL waking up and walking out the inn. Filler is all over the place.
First time for the WoL not being the main character. But is not only that, you’re useless most of the time. The only thing you do is watching another character learn over and over the exact same lessons we learned as a WoL countless times in other expansions. Shit gets pretty boring.
I took some time off work and powered through it for old times’ sake.
I enjoyed it! It definitely dragged at points, and there were more than few questionable story decisions, but the combat content (especially in the latter half) was much stronger than previous expansions. The high-level dungeons are a lot of fun and will keep many players on their toes.
The new classes are…okay. viper seems overly confusing for what is a relatively easy class, and picto is mostly fine, if not a bit too easy.
I’m happy for the people who enjoy it but I’m also very glad I got off this train. Sounds like it was at the right time, at least for me.
The graphics update looks good though and was sorely needed!
Guild wars 2 all the way. Also new expansion is coming .
