The new episode without voices feels just wrong

Aye I get where you're coming from too.

 

I have a lot of characters myself so running them through old content is something im pretty familiar with, it's where i've spent most of my time as a player over all these years, even today since I like to do world completion and all the existing story before I take new characters to new content and sometimes I end up getting though all that then thinking.. hmm new character idea and start a new one and do it all over again xD

 

The difference in quality and difficulty between old and new content is extremely noticable and unfortuante.. plus that big story gap with living world 1 has been really bugging me for many years now XD

I just hope that they will add voice acting from Super Adventure Box to last Ice Brood Episode, until proper voice act will be recorded. It will be atleast fun :D

So many arm-chair developers. Lack of voice did in no way take away from the content we have been served. Its good to have more stuff to do, which is far more important than voice on top.

It is not the same, but It is understandable after seeing how dangerous the coronavirus is.

 

I prefer a silence episode than no episode at all

I agree it's not quite the same, but I completely understand why ANet decided to release it without VO. Personally I'd have been fine with waiting another 3-6 months for the LS to continue, but I've got plenty of other goals in the game (Legendaries, PvP, WvW) to work towards in the meantime.

i think we should have just got the map and not the story
