Unlocking Heavensward

[Chasely]

So they dont care about new players either? That sounds like a flawed business model.
I bought this game due to seeing all of the great reviews for heavensward.
I just figured this game would work like every other mmo - when an expac is released you get to do new things right away. but i guess not. Oh well.

And to all of you fanboys defending the fact that heavensward is gated behind 100 filler quests you have to know that it's pretty silly. They could have combined everything into 1 large quest which generally explained everything and took an hour or two. But they didnt.

They want you to suffer through the endless drudgery of performing menial tasks for no real reward, like carrying items 20 paces because an NPC is too lazy to walk across a room. I honestly feel for you. the ARR quests were mostly useless filler and boring exposition which had nothing to do with actually advancing the story. They could cut out 80% of the post 50 per-Heavensward quests and you wouldn't lose anything at all. I feel for you; really, I do. But I can't make SE fix that hotmess of a story.

that said, Heavensward's story is truly an amazing adventure full of action, suspence and interesting characters who treat you like a hero, rather than a glorified mule.
