My big issue with VoE
I'm having a really hard time staying engaged with this expansion compared to all the previous ones, and my hype is completely on the floor. It's not that the expansion is bad—in fact, I think the beginning is much better than the last few. The problem is the release schedule.
When the next story chapter comes out, it will have been over 6 months since the first part launched. The issue is that I hardly remember anything about the story or the details anymore. I remember the broad strokes, sure, but I have the feeling that when it finally drops, I will have forgotten a lot of important stuff just because so much time has passed.
In my case, as a PvP player who likes to play the story for the lore, I've lost all motivation to play during these 6 months because PvP is dead and the story was left hanging 6 months ago.
It's obvious that they've shifted a lot of resources away from GW2 for years now (hello GW3), but I'm sure they could organize things a lot better.
