castlemanic.3198 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm glad this was brought over from the previous forums, hopefully a mod or dev can sticky this because this is too useful to let it slide to the forum's abyss. I just wish it was playable in some way, new players feel alienated because they have no idea how important season 1 is to what happens after Zhaitans death.

Donari.5237 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'd say this needs to be stickied in the Lore forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonami.2987 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Great work there. Thanks a lot. Sad ArenaNet themselves didn't make a decent recap of everything. > @castlemanic.3198 said: > I'm glad this was brought over from the previous forums, hopefully a mod or dev can sticky this because this is too useful to let it slide to the forum's abyss. > > I just wish it was playable in some way, new players feel alienated because they have no idea how important season 1 is to what happens after Zhaitans death. The temporary nature of LW1 was the biggest mistake they made. The game would be much more successful nowadays hadn't they decided removing content was a good idea.

The game would be much more successful nowadays hadn't they decided removing content was a good idea. i'm not sure about how much more successful if it was replayable, but it would have had a definite increase in the ability of newer players to understand what is going on (because they could experience first hand and understand it in their own way instead of the very flimsy character who improperly describes the impact of scarlet upon the world). There's also a strong hint of hindsight is 20/20 regarding this aspect, as at the time i personally thought it would be amazing to see the world change, but ultimately the lack of replayability (and the way i missed out on some releases as well) changed that opinion. It should definitely be a priority for Anet to, at some point, make season 1 replayable, not only for veterans but especially for new players (who would continue on to purchase living world seasons and expansions to see where the story goes hopefully). there's too much info lost to make a cohesive narrative jump between the end of the personal story and the beginning of season 2.

Glacial.9516 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Thank you for reposting this here. It's a lovely video, very well done and I very much enjoyed watching it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience most of the events between PS to LS2. I especially liked the introduction to each of the LS2 characters, which I hadn't seen beforehand.

eduardo.1436 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 As many have said: this needs to be sticky, it gives tons of lire on important s1 one characters as well as dragon watch origins for each member and the catalyst of everything: scarlet briar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more valuable asset would all that lost content be, if it would become reintegrated back into the game, cause then we wouldn't need this here... What a Game is a game, where you need to look its content outside of the Game in a Forum, instead of watching and playing that Content actualy in the Game. Just saying.

Tasida.4085 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm so happy and proud of the fact that I was there from launch until now. This is a remarkable movie btw and it brought back many fun and hectic times! Well done. Still sorry for those that missed out on the best time of GW2 (imo) but you have this great movie at least ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamyAbaddon.3265 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I was there during season 1 but I didn't get into the story until much later. That's why I made this movie. I wanted a coherent story experience.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irreverent.3594 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Awww and i watched it just like a week ago... > @DreamyAbaddon.3265 said: > I was there during season 1 but I didn't get into the story until much later. That's why I made this movie. I wanted a coherent story experience.. Same. It was quite a blur at that time. This video is great for refreshing memory. Something like i just finished re-playing season 2 for second time and this time solo. First time was years ago with my friend and it was a blur too then. Now i could finally understand what's really going on and why things are they way they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice comments, I agree. I also wish that Gaile would sticky it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanar.9854 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's always bittersweet to see the world change when new players won't be able to experience the events leading up to it. On the other hand, it's interesting to me personally to see these results from LW1 and wonder exactly how they happened since I wasn't here during that time. Leaves a bit of mystery in the mix. Granted, I could just watch this movie and learn, but I kind of enjoy learning piece-by-piece from the characters and environment. Having played the remaining seasons, I've got a decent idea of the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einlanzer.1627 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I strongly disagree with Anet not making reformatting Season 1 for insertion into the new LW framework one of their highest priorities. It really should be, and it really kind of amazes me that their leadership doesn't really seem to think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamyAbaddon.3265 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 I dont think bringing this thread on this subforum gives my GW2 season 1 movie the exposure it deserves. In my opinion think it should have been a sticky on the Lore subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
