Watching this and thinking of Deimos beeing the brother of Cerus tingles me. Will we get a kryptis lore video - covering the history of kryptis and speculations on how Deimos startet working for the Mursaat?! How are they interconnected? This makes more sense than ever due to the upcoming Janthir expansion which is right after the Kryptis focused expansion. WE NEED MURSAAT / KRYPTIS SPECULATIONS!!!!

Just commenting my view on your dilemmas with story coverage. Firstly, I think many watch you, partly, for the honesty you bring to the discussion. I have no issue with you covering the story negatively if the story is bad (or if you think it's bad). I find fun in criticising GW2 and continue to play it regardless. Secondly, many GW2 videos from other youtubers are not about the story at all, which might say something about what GW2 offers besides the story and how that story is consumed, but it ultimately means that you can continue the discussion in whatever form you want on your channel. I think a group of people will still be interested. Thirdly, you could be explicit in videos about why GW2 is still worth your time, regardless of how shit the story is. You did this already, when you mentioned you've been doing strikes! I've given up on the story long ago myself, but come back to GW2 for other systems. So that means, fourthly, you can do whatever you want and still have a positive impact on GW2 as a product. The story will sadly, probably continue to be shit.

I would love micro transactions for fashion for 1 reason and that is it would help fund continued support for GW1. I wouldnt personally pay for anything like that but id gladly pay for more content. Now if paid fashion was the only update then yeah id be mad but still wouldnt be mad if they added it just to add additional financial support for a nice shiny new look to GW1

To be honest, improved lighting is a bit sketchy because anyone in the 3D industry could tell you that Guild Wars 1 is a lighting masterclass. Yes, new systems and technology are better, but there's a danger if a less skilled developer places or replaces lighting systems and lights in areas-it could seriously damage the look if ArenaNet does not have an old lead or notes from the Guild Wars 1 days. As proof, just go into any of the daylight forest zones or spring zones and look at the fake god rays and the way everything glows and light bounces. It still holds up today, even though the trees are super low poly. I’d be happy just with higher texture resolutions and some new added content, like they did in 2020. Maybe a new weapon model or two, and perhaps, like you said, some more stuff in barren zones. But most of the Nightfall to EoTN areas are packed; they never felt empty or small. They also made a lot of armors and materials intentionally glossy for easier readability, which also gives Guild Wars that bloom look. Quality of life changes, if added, would be minor, but I’d pay for them gladly just to keep the servers up. To me, armor values and such should be readable as a documentation of sorts, or if they gave us a compendium- you know, that would be fun. Kill a certain number of monsters and get their info, but it should not be on the UI. One of the things Guild Wars 1 does better than 90% of the games is the simple screen readability.

My hope is that the Warclaw has a wall grab like the Skyscale and can pounce up walls. I also pray that the next expansion does the fourth elite specialization giving all professions a new weapon. I think I'd be fine with not receiving any new weapons or elite specializations after that, and ANet could put more focus on creating new stories, adding new features, and wrapping up any loose ends that they started.

One small note: even if city doesnt produce anything they still can give you money and corinth and sparta have lot of money as seen on the map next to the city icon. Especialy on olympian difficulty it is very important to request help from people that are good at it since low supply cities give you almost nothing. So giving corinth the oil and them request money from them would be better and it would probably even generate profit (and in this difficulty big profit)

The first half of SOTO felt so good to me. New everything, felt like we were discovering a whole new world, a new cool mysterious threat, answers to previous mysteries, but also new questions. It just felt great to play. The second half felt like a point and click adventure where they got bored and just had us run around doing stuff just so they can finally get SOTO over with. The second half was boring, repetitive, with boring dialogue and felt like the story was a "do it yourself" thing. disappointed. But at least I get Eparch looked cool to me

You lose a small chunk of story too if you skip or have already completed the New weapon achievement.Its kinda crazy because other MMOs will "force" you through various story steps. Open world is still story! I did find it weird the vista one as i had literally just did that very thing. Maybe they could have added some dialogue or something going on at each vista maybe? Though its no more busywork than other games. So its weirdly ironic i guess that this game does give you options for which events etc you do to fill the bar.

nayos is so strange to me, i do like the overall aesthetic but it feels so small to me, What scope are we expecting for the physical area of nayos, or are they getting away with something calling it "inner nayos". We've spent so long in this zone because the real world timeline yet at the same time spent the smallest amount of time here. I do like the overall look of the area for a subverting expectations of demon realm. I was expecting more convergences to give us a look into other areas of nayos. Peitha mentions how theres some kind of ongoing battle where theyre struggling to hold the line - yet... we dont see any of that. Then youve got the fractals. The fractal islands in skywatch were intriguing. They were talking about fractals of realities of our world appearing in their world, but also fractals of areas of their world appearing in ours. Alternate realities in a realm we're not familiar with, is such a cool concept. Yet, we see none of this.

I just paused the video at 18mins to say I am one of those people who "somewhat" cares about the story. I haven't played GW2 for a few years now (I still have the game installed but have not even opened it for any updates) and the only contact I have with GW2 is through your channel and I like to vicariously follow the path the game is taking through your videos. I do enjoy the story and to see where it is going, the only news and understanding I have of it is literally through you talking about it here or sometimes during your other LP's. Not sure how relevant it is so I may be in the minority here it seems but it does somewhat ruin the story if you are complaining about it before we've even got to the end. I'm all for commentary about it after (or in other videos) but seems rather jarring to do it beforehand. Totally understand it from your perspective though if you just don't have the energy to be excited to go through the story with us again if you played it and find it bad already. I am enjoying watching your Zeus playthroughs whilst i have been waiting for the conclusion to this saga so all is good. I am also finally going to get around to playing Dragons Age as I bought that game years ago and have been meaning to start it, and even more since several months back you mentioned it was basically a huge influence on the story of GW2. I am looking forward to it. [edit] also i just watched the conclusion to the current series of Doctor Who, and have the same feeling you have about this story. There was such a cool overarching story there and stuff they could do and in the end *kinda spoilers" it is way too over simplified and really disappointing and a lot of hand-waving deus machina that made no sense.

So far every expac had a introduction prior to the release, Soto was everything new with the exception of Cerus, which no one really talked about because how old, and little we had invested in it.
