There’s a bigger technical issue—during “in game” scenes, the NPCs are moving around and things are happening (gadgets might be activating, props may be animating, etc.) and if you just skipped all that, it could lead to some really bizarre behavior. Trying to manually set a “failsafe” to teleport the NPCs, fire off effects, etc. to replicate what the world state is if the cutscene plays is extremely tedious and error prone.

That’s why the old style “dialogue cutscenes” (and the fancy but rare full blown cinematic sequences, like the Order movies and racial intros) are skippable, because we aren’t doing anything to the world while the dialogue plays, so skipping it doesn’t have any effect. We’ve moved away from those, because the in-game scenes are a lot more satisfying, but there’s a trade off.

The next episode in Guild Wars 2's Living World Season 2 launches later today!

The next episode in Guild Wars 2's Living World will launch later today. The episode, Seeds of Truth, picks up where the last episode ended when players were shocked after Caithe ran off with the dragon egg that could be the one hope in defeating Mordremoth.

In order to discover where Caithe may be, players will need to discover where she has been. With the aid of the Pale Tree, players will retrace Caithe's footsteps and hopefully uncover crucial information as they witness the Sylvari's early memories.

Outside of the story, the Silvewastes continues to be uncovered. If players help out the local Skritt, they will gain access to their tunnels which allow quick travel to different areas of the map. Additionally, players will be able to test themselves with the new Drydock Scratch jumping puzzle where skritt pirates are assembling a ship deep beneath the Silverwastes.

This episode will allow players to acquire the next two pieces of the Carapace armor set--boots and pants--and upgrade them into the respective Luminescent armor pieces.

This patch will also include the previously announced PvP updates including a new map voting system, better match queue notifications, reworked matchmaking and the groundwork for the first Ladder Test Season starting later this month. This weekend will also host the World Tournament Series Finals in Beijing!

Oh, that darn Caithe, running off with that MacGuffin dragon egg at the end of the last Guild Wars 2 story update! Someone should go after her. And while someone's going after her, someone should probably collect more armor set pieces and explore more of the Silverwastes. If you haven't guessed by now, that someone is going to be you. The latest update to the game, Seeds of Truth, is live today, and you'll need to... well, you read all of that up above, yes?

Aside from salad-based antics, the update features some major PvP changes, including reworked matchmaking and the test season for organized league play. So if you're there more for the mechanics than the story, that may be more of your speed. If you're there for the story, though, get ready to start retracing Caithe's memories, figure out what happened, and dealing with the fallout of that stolen egg.
