Concerning Hall of Monuments:
I never was that excited about HoM. I do look forward to GW2 but am not really interested in having a static vanity shrine based on a GW character. It's great that ANet is trying to address that particular segment of players that feel displaced by the new game, but it always seemed like a clunky idea to me. Concerning Music: The combat music pace based on the in-game action is awesome, it's a simple but effective way of ratcheting up the adrenaline of the moment. The regular music is nice as well, I think there's been some subtle changes to the Shiverpeak theme. Concerning Missions that play like cool quests: I really like how ANet packaged the missions into the expansion. They play out really well and are very unobtrusive and really flow well with the storyline. A great thing about EoTN is that you get some glimpses of what GW2 may be like. The flow of the story and how missions are handled. You can't really tell you're on a mission because it plays like a quest, a fun quest. Concerning the story: Right from the start of exploring the hole in the mysterious ground I was hooked. This is the stuff that appeals to the imagination. The Norn have a very interesting lore and are really distinct from the races and people of all three chapters. None of that, "never fight alone" stuff from a Norn!  I don't know how the story progresses from the preview content but thus far it really holds up well and the motivations are understandable and easy to follow. Concerning Norn and Asura: As mentioned above, the Norns are very distinct and interesting, you get a real feel for why they are the way they are...isolated villages and holds in a very rough and dangerous part of the world. I had been worried about the Asura, but so far I like what I have seen. The are "cute' but think goodness ANet doesn't make them act "cute". I definitely see some Gremlin like lore backing them up. I am very happy they aren't Gnomes <shudder>. |
