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.
>>
>>387285416
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.
>>
>>387285416
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"...

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.

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 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.

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.

>>387289307
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.

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.

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.
>>
>>387292039
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.

>>387292561
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.

>>387294027
Last I checked their threads have a spam bot that copy pastes random posts on /v/ and /vg/ and fills their general with them. As far as I can tell it's someone butthurt about guild drama.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

you're not. If you bought it, you still have a proper account without F2P restrictions like market stuff and map chat.

the personal story is literally the worst written thing in the game, with season 1 of the living story (which you can't play anyway) being a tie for terribleness. Season 2 was a little better, with HoT being somewhat okay. Season 3 was mostly alright with a few stupid moments, and what we saw in the expansion demo seemed pretty decent.
The story is pretty great outside of the main story though, with the current events and fractals being some of the best story anet has produced in gw2
>>
>>387305908
the biggest problem with that is really that you have to look for the stories yourself.
People get the "main story" handed on a platter, see it's shit, and tell other people how shit it is. But then there are some stories that are genuinely good, but you'll have to look for them in the world or specific dungeons.

That's the short version of it. Some drama craving furfag got kicked from the guild and tried to start shit in their general, but he got ignored. So he just developed a bot to make sure that they can't ever have any real discussion in their general again.

he was basically a turbo autist who was really fucking obsessed with one female charr character. When everyone told him he was a weird fucker and kicked him out of their guilds and started ignoring him he went fucking nuclear and botted the general to death. The mods can't stop him because each bot is a new IP and whenever he gets banned he just resets. The scariest thing is if he decided to do this to a different board (and he also killed /mmog/ after the remnants of /gw2g/ fled there) we'd still be powerless to stop him. We're just lucky his autism is contained to the one thread
>>
>>387306412
Why do they keep making the generals then? Might as well just let it die.

because they're also fucking autistic.

kek it really is ridiculous. you can go back and play GW1 all the way through right now and while the plot isnt exactly riveting it makes sense from start to finish and its mostly believable. the characters have genuine motivations and conflicts, like Rurik realizing that his father is a vengeful mad man who will lead his people to extinction and deciding to take the refugee path. then from there everything kinda falls into place in a well paced manner.

its unbelievable that gw1's story is so much more coherent than gw2's considering gw1's was basically an afterthought to move you through environments while gw2's was a major part of development that had a full team devoted to it.
>>
>>387308818
>while gw2's was a major part of development that had a full team devoted to it.

maybe thats the reason why gw2 fail? to big team that doesnt compare the story from each other to often, means you have charr story, which is really nice, but also have sylvari story which is retarded as fuck

if you have a smaller team like in gw1 maybe its easier to keep an overview over the story instead of having a bigger one with gw2 where half of them are swj who only got the job to fill a quota
>>
>>387309048
Reason GW2 failed are SJWs. Everything bad about this game is somewhat related to them.
>>
>>387299752
Man if this was the case we might've actually got some decent quests.

The problem is the characters have no motivation in their dialog other than to give a shallow excuse for the player to go and punch something, the excuse falls apart if the player asks 1 'why'.
>>
Having a recurring squad of characters was a mistake. No one gave a fuck about Destiny's edge and no one is going to give a fuck about Dragon's Watch. Just leave me alone and let me do things on my own or choose my own companion. But since the latter would add much more dialogue they'll never do it.
>>
>>387310278
Yeah pretty much.
I miss my warbandmates, I wonder what happened to them..

sylvari dont have any reproductive organs

and female norn don't have dicks, what's your point?
>>
>>387311160
we don't really know. They're modelled after humans, so they might have flower analogues to human parts, similar to the leaf hair.
>>
>>387311298
I know for a fact that Asuras give live birth, it's confirmed both ingame and by the devs, but I always like to imagine they lay eggs.

I thought they do, just that they're nonfunctional.
