This game's story writing is some of the most trashiest senseless crap I've ever come across. It's literally:

1) What something happened?

2) Better go punch it.

The best part is how "your story" stops being "yours". Haven't played it in years but I read that they started adding more SJW shit.

Does it at least get better?

I can tolerate the SJW crap, even lesbians and trannies.. what gets me is that it doesn't even make sense.

Characters don't appear to have any motivation other than to enable the player to hit them.

The player's character keeps saying stupid shit like "I can't wait to beat this guy up". "I can't wait to shove his face down his butt"...

What game?

Guildwars2

Do you really expect retarded SJWs with a superficial personality to understand how nuanced the world really is? That there are many shades of grey? You can blame the hack writer aptly named McCheese.

Even when they got out of the sylvari mary sue bullshit, they end up doing it again with the Queen being superior, she isn't wrong, and had her opponent kill because he EVAL and white and old. I always find it funny they call it the "living story" but it mostly about drama about your retarded group.

Oh tater, that's literally just the cream of the crop!
It gets SO much worse. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

>Does it at least get better?

Haven't played the expansions but I can say that the vanilla's story just keeps getting more shittier. Worst of it is when a literal faggot becomes the chosen one and is the center of the story by the game's end.

Well let me save your time. It doesn't get better.

Yes I know. Never had I ever wanted to kill my own fucking teammates because how fucking unbearable they are.

can anyone of you faggots name any more sjw shit in this game? I only know 2
>Marjory and kass lesbians
>tranny npc that 90% of players won't encounter

This plot twist and horrendous direction the game was taking in general was the final nail for me.

Man, Beta up until Scarlet got involved was at least bearable.

The entire living story revolved around faggots for so long the game has been tainted. We can't trust you Arenanet, whats more you refuse to get rid of diversity's edge. Your writings bad. And you should feel bad for letting that shit get in to the game.

>I didn't even skip any dialogue when I did the story and nothing made sense for me

You literally have the main cast as SJW shitters.

>Two Lesbos
>Token Black Norn despite the fact Elonaians exist..
>A fucking cripple
>Furry mom

The entirely of Sylvari culture, is pretty much matriarchal, with neither gender having a concept of it. Plenty of gay NPCs literally flying rainbows.

Also Caithe and Foalian were lesbo salads.

I'm sure I can find more.

>Flame Legeion and Sons of whatever don't allow girls in and are sexist as fuck, despite plans for having the Sons of whatever having girl leaders in the concept art
>Caithe. Enough said
>Entire Sylvari Race
>Destiny Orphan that tags along in the Living Story
>Remember that Lion's Arch Election? The Strong independent woman that steal your credit and is a hypocrite vs a thievery Jew Charr? Guess who won?
>Said woman got rewarded an Airship, but you have to play real life money to get on despite player "voted" her in
>The fucking Fandom. Seriously, you can't find a fandom this cancer than this game
>afking in bank yield you this

The first twenty levels are literally the best part of the entire game's story and the best it ever was, is, or will be because at least they focus on your starting choices and you're a meaningful character. It only gets worse from here on out.

>tout "living story" as a way to keep the world feeling alive by injecting new content, story, and rewards
>in the end it's just glorified patches with a delayed price tag
>if you miss a patch for whatever reason you have to buy them if you want to catch up on the retarded story

I wanted to give it a chance man. I thought alright this 'looks' shit but maybe if i actually read through all the quest text and voice overs it would actually make sense and I'd get a nice story out of it.

Instead I got literally the main character doing acts and being bloodthirsty enough to make ISIS proud, while at the same time being given dialog like a Saturday morning cartoon show with no plot and no sense of who the main characters are.

Loving every post in this thread. Please don't stop.

>Token Black Norn despite the fact Elonaians exist..
There a lot of things I want to add to this

>for some fucking reason, he get to name the Dragon Hunter
Imagine, this is the only original male team member of Destiny Orphan.

>Entire Sylvari Race
Tell me again why it's okay to have a parasitic plant race and present bad things as good things?

The writers are good at presenting parasites to society as good things. :^)

>>Final boss of most recent expansion
>>Big finale this should be good right?

>>Boss dies, and possess long-time story salad friend.

>>Main character goes to kill saladfriend in order to kill boss..

>>What does boss say?

Does he:

A) Impersonate friend and try to make main character let him live?

B) Tell him that he will stop being evil if allowed to survive?

C) "I AM THE BIG BAD GUY, I WILL KILL YOU GOOD GUY" *proceeds to die*.

I briefly worked at ANet as Q&A Guild Wars 2.

The writers were all hired to write for the game only a year before launch. They were so backlogged that they had people who weren't even writers writing dialogue for the little events that happen around the world. 1 writer had to leave 3/4th's of the way through with the main quest. He was the one who created Trehearne. I caught up with him via Linkden months after and asked chatted with him. Trehearne wasn't supposed to be a mary sue, he was actually going to have him die in the pen-ultimate quest of the main game as a sacrifice in order to be able to kill the dragon. However they gave his unfinished script to an sjw who decided to self insert into Trehearne and there you have why that character is so shit.

All this diversity bullshit yet they won't add male human on female charr romance

Why did Anet hire all those SJWs anyway, and McCheese? Is there a story behind that? They also unironically took advice from Anita "Haha give me money!" Sarkeesian.

Everything was dumb but bearable but holy fuck after my main nigga Tybalt dies, this USELESS FUCKBOI PLANT NIGGER IS THE WORST FUCKING CHARACTER EVER AND THE STORY GOES FUCKING WHO CARES MODE ITS SO FUCKING BAD AFTER ITS SHIT WHO THE FUCK CARES

THE STORY WAS BETTER WHEN IT WAS CASUAL AND JUST ABOUT YOU NOT FUCKING BROCOLI FAGGOT AND DRAGONS AND SHIT

We could invent all sorts of conspiracy theories but the simplest explanation that also matches every other aspect of Guild Wars 2 is just categorical incompetence. Bad dev team hires bad writers and manages them badly.

I believe this, he's so different in the salad story before you see him again.

This faction is pretty shit for what they are and could have been a different society. That being said
> Tybalt says you're his only best friend because no one else likes him
>HEY user? HAVE YOU MET TRAHEARNE? HE IS MY BEST FRIEND AND HIS CUM TASTE LIKE HONEY

As far as I can tell, and you can see this in the game, they were trying to be as progressive as possible to attract those players. There were many times when I was testing that complete dialogue, story arcs, even entire characters were changed to be more progressive. I distinctly remember one on the nord side where this male nord punches a female. Originally the female stayed down and other males rushed him and to the side of the female. It was changed to females rushing the male and kicking him, but when that just wasn't progressive enough it was changed to a female punching a male and the male literally saying "OWIEE" and running away while a bunch of females laughed and drank beer. I think the final iteration is still an event somewhere in the final game.

>plagurising

Is it C?

THIS

fucking really nigga?

I never saw 2 different races loving each other. (Im probably wrong since i dont pay much attention to the story)

Huh, well I haven't come across that myself. I'm not sure if you're fibbing user, I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

>You can't find a fandom this cancer than this game

I beg to differ

Humans and Salds fuck regularly. There is AT LEAST one couple like this.

Remember capturing the Feast of Corruption from that wurm back in GW 1?

It pissed me off more then anything else. God forbid you speak out against the thieves. The class wasn't even that hard but they made it seem like it was the epitome of skill in pvp.

guildwars2guru.com/topic/17272-interview-gw2-interview-with-martin-kerstein-eric-flannum-cd-action/page-3#entry820606
Reminder that this is a thing.

I like how their search bar doesn't fucking work at all. Probably to prevent certain viewers from finding stuff that could be use against the mods or the game. You can get ban in the forum if you say anything bad about the game.

I remember going to the forum for a WvW section of the forum, Player something. It arguably the best part of the forum because all the WvW rivalry and shit flinging, and they remove that section because they don't want to mod that at all.

The fact that there no hard counter for stealth says a lot about pvp in general. And the existence of downed state. And stability.

It's Pikachu!

BUT BUT BUT THIEVES ARE ONLY BROKEN IN RAIDS, FRACTALS, SMALL SCALE PVP, AND ROAMING. THEY ARE ONLY BETTER THAN HALF THE CLASSES IN GROUP FIGHTS SO THEY ARE BALANCED.

Meanwhile Engines are decent in group fights and sub par in every other game mode. Revs and now warriors seem to be in that same boat. In all seriousness this is one of the first MMOs I've seen in recent history that has full accepted the fact that some classes are so flat out bad in some game modes that that's ok, because you can just level up a thief or guardian if you are interested in doing those modes. And the community has embraced this idea to the point they openly mock people who don't go along with it. It's fucking weird.

Iunno, thieves are (and pretty much always have been) pretty mediocre for fractals. They're glassy as shit and you have to keep picking them up off the floor after they embarrass themselves. But I still only run condi reaper and condi druid in fractals, so maybe I'm a bit behind the times.

There were posters in this board that defended that shit. It's fucking sad.

Sup Forums really hyped GW2, I'll always remember that bullshit chart that tried outright lied about what Blizzard had developed and exaggerated the achievements of the GW2 devs that worked at Blizzard North. I know Sup Forums isn't one person but whenever you bring that up, oldfags always blush. It was our own TORtanic, if you're in to board culture and shit.

so is the general thread on /vg/ just full of furfags?

Thief is honestly kinda fucking annoying to play. I eat shit at complete random just doing the "easy" world bosses in PvE because unlike any other class with actual survivability if I'm in an AoE for even a second I'm suddenly on my ass flinging piss weak knives.

I want to play something the fuck else but the aforementioned bitching in EVERY class forum about how terrible their class is makes it fucking impossible to get a decent read on what class is worth leveling or not.

Last I checked their threads have a spam bot that copy pastes random posts on Sup Forums and /vg/ and fills their general with them. As far as I can tell it's someone butthurt about guild drama. End result: I don't want to join their discord without knowing what they're like, but I assume they're full of furry ERPers like it was the last time I read it pre-Heart of Thorns.

/vg/ is a terrible place. GW2's general is being nuked by a bot at the moment, they deserve it though. Its as bad as the worst parts of tumblr. Even on Sup Forums's worst shitposting days we can't compare.

Ascalon seems fine for the most part to me. Shit would grow more if charr didn't have to fight butthurt ascalon ghosts and flam legion who like burning entire landscapes for kicks

Yes and they kill their own general with autism. And /mmog/. Ignored the furfag from gw2g that claim that they didn't.

What in the hell happened to this game.
I played it at release and generally had a fun time, I got fond memories of that first halloween event, it was fucking crazy.

Reading through this thread has put me off wanting to revisit it ever again, even more so now that even though I purchased the game back then I'm basically on the level of a fucking F2P player now.

>be me, basically european colonial man, but in the stone age
>conquer nice kingdom from filthy furry natives
>build wall to keep them out, all is nice
>furries get a NUCLEAR BOMB from ACTUAL SATAN to kill me and my nice wall
>survive them assblasting their land and the subsequent invasion
>use magic spell so I can fight them forever
And the Char think they're cool

>trusting in the viewpoints of /v
Nigga just play the game again, see if you like it or not and form your own opinion, not base it off of random anons on an image board

I'm not reading opinions, I'm looking at actual evidence ITT.

It kind of retarded when you think about it
>200 years later
>charrs have war machines like tanks and airship
>they cannot even invaded Ebonhawke, a medieval era city, despite having the technology and army to do it.

Wrong. People have experiences with the game and they outright tell you current shit that is happening with the game. I would recommend him any other mmo than this piece of shit. The last living story with Queen Jennah and the white manlet, which end with the human god of war being the evil one, is fucking shit.

Oh yeah... THAT image.

Disregard what this mongoloid says. His entire thought process is "if Sup Forums says it, think the polar opposite." He's more braindead than the hivemind.
Just read up on random quests in the wikias. That's how I decide if I want to return to an MMO or not, because that's the sort of shit I expect to be doing for the most part.

>The player's character keeps saying stupid shit like "I can't wait to beat this guy up". "I can't wait to shove his face down his butt"...

To be fair I'd probably like a game where this is the only player dialogue present: him just constantly talking about how he's wanting to kick people's asses.

Why can't we ever have nice things?

Is the replacement group for Destiny's Edge still named Destiny's Rejects?
God, that was so cringy to me

that was never their name, that was a meme. Are you dumb?

>no furfags on bald-bab couples
And they call themselves SJWs

>The fact that there no hard counter for stealth says a lot about pvp in general. And the existence of downed state. And stability.

God, fucking this. There's only two or three skills in the entire game which actually removes Stealth, and one of those requires you to be targeting the thief. Even if you manage to use that debuff on them, they'll just teleport away until it wears off and you're back to square one. Stability is also a huge bitch, because some classes just have no stability at all (Necromancers) while other have shit tons of stability on top of invulnerability and block effects (Guardians).

I don't know what the shills said but ArenaNet was founded by 3 ex-Blizzard head honcho / lead game programmers / battle.net programmers. That coupled with no subscription fee definitely got my eyes fucking lit up back in 2004-2005.

Hilariously, I first heard about Guild Wars 1 when I was playing WarCraft III. This guy said that it was a great game and he couldn't stop playing it, so I went out and got the game myself. The years that followed were just pure magic.

I'm too stupid to understand what you're implying, please explain.

Two of them left, one to made State of Decay, and another help made TERA, then went to the guy that made State of Decay.

Just making the implication that is has been going on forever, at this moment just made it sound like it's only a couple months old.

this is the best game because it has the cutest fhds

>REEEE NUKES R NOT CULE!!11!!1!!!11!1
Lol hope you like the containment unit, bitch

Oh, well I wouldn't know I only know from hearsay honestly.
Oh, they just 'exaggerated' it a little thats all. It was meant to be the second coming of jesus etc.

That's perfectly fine because they left in 2009, which was way past the original trilogy. NCSoft probably pushed them into making a WoW theme park sequel and they started work on the transition expansion EOTN which gave us rats and tree people. Norns were okay though.

I'm still fucking mad that my Asura talks like a fucking human. There's a majority of places in the overworld where you'll magically forget how golems work, or you get talked down to by fellow Asura. Even in the fucking expansion there's at best a nod or two towards what race you're playing and then it's right back to the standard human dialogue.

I didn't pick the smug magitech midget race just to spout generic ass hero lines. Fuck.

At least she looks fucking adorable.

Don't forget you're taking orders from a crippled child asura that fangirl the fuck out of Scarlet. Or how your entire religion is a lie and that the center of the Eternal Alchemy is the Pale Tree. Or hey, how your asura suck the pale tree and Trahearne's dick despite thinking everything that isn't the asura a lower being. They are a silly but cool race stuck in a shit game.

Making Norn as a race is a mistake.

I just started playing again since quitting before Living Story Season 1 had really got going and was delaying playing the story in HoT because I was busy doing the open world content. This is the first I'm hearing of any of that.

So now I'm 300% more pissed. Fucking plant people, should've used them for experimenting on creating a new kind of salad dressing. Fuck.

>Human gods are just tiny parts in the Eternal Alchemy
>Salad Sue spawning tree literally at the fucking center of it

Why did no one stop McCodfish's salad rampage before it got to this point?

Just cross your fingers & hope for the
>le it wuz a double-cross ALL ALONG
Then we get to wipe out the fucking sue's.
O-one day..

The closest we got to that was that they were revealed to be dragon minions who became independent of Mordremoth. Now that little speed bump is gone, we'll never get a chance to properly purge them.

>created by a dragon
>is the center of the alchemy

They probably did the Fallout 4 thing and just asked all of their employees to throw quest ideas into a hat.

I'm still piss off on that one quest where that guy get to romance a bot in her original bot body but I can't.

But seriously, fuck the writing in this game.

Speaking of GW2 why is there a spambot in the /vg/ general?

Some autist got ignored and he decided to kill their general forever.

Guild Wars: Utopia was dropped for this
Chronomancer was dropped for this
Summoner was dropped for this

>even though I purchased the game back then I'm basically on the level of a fucking F2P player now.
you're not. If you bought it, you still have a proper account without F2P restrictions like market stuff and map chat.

Asuras are CUTE!
