LWS3&4 were peak storytelling. Map links to Aurora & Vision + meta's are great. Peak Maps & Meta's are all still in HOT. I'm fine with the staggered release, but Anet just need to pitch future expansions somewhere between these 2 benchmarks.
The release schedule was a failure too. One map spread on 3 releases is terrible. No map should be split in 3. It would have been better if they released only Skywatch Archipelago at launch, 3 months later Amnytas, 3 months later Nayos part I, 3 months later Nayos part 2.
What I do not like about Soto are the way the mastery points were earned. Most of them were straight forward, but some were tied to group events. Which is fine if you play when the content is first released and plenty of people are around. If you are behind, which I frequently am, it has been difficult doing those group events when not enough people are there. Now I am stuck having difficulty finishing masteries. Seems to me that less people return to play Soto. I realize that most want things to be more challenging but I like things to be more casual and soloable. Also the story was disjointed and I did not feel as connected to the characters as in previous content. That being said, I am looking forward to the new expansion!
Pretty think the same. Hopefully they work a lot on the story side. I'm a big fan of good stories. Gw2 never had a brilliant one in my opinion, compered with other ones like FFXIV, but Soto was very bad....so many filling parts ...pfff
All one needs to do is look at how many times the Meta events in Soto is being done to see that it DOES NOT WORK. You can easily go 4+ hours without anyone doing them in the mean time Octovine is still being run 24/7. The events in Soto are even less popular than EoD's were. Once people no longer need XP for masteries, they mostly move on just like with EoD. A meta, taking over 20 minutes to do thanks to insane amounts of health on everything and rewarding so little has been a massive step BACKWARDS and what is the next weak tiny little xpac bringing? Dungeon raids...wow. I am not buying it, only a few in my guild said they are and they are saying just for the homestead with spear being a nice bonus. Anet seems to have hired a bunch of people that do not play the game or remotely know what players are playing. If a home and a spear that any class can use is your draw then they must be running out of cards in their deck.
@@DemethVLK The server is what I am on and on the server the meta is rarely done except at peak times and none of your BS will change that, this shit has been complained about on the official forums, the official twitter, discord and reddits starting a few months after Soto's release so stop trying to make it sound like its not happening. Go do that shit on a WoW channel, where players are so fucking toxic and delusional they will say anything to make the game sound perfect. This is GW2 and we have a time honored tradition of actually liking our game enough we want it improved so point out its flaws.

I think that the story is the main weakness of SOTO. And maybe optimization.

Sadly the game's story is a family friendly comedy with them having a comedian syndrome, having to turn each conversation into a joke fest.
Soto was not really good, but the ff14 story IS very overated !
I got my skyscale so dont need SoTo anymore :D
