The storyline in ED is virtually non existent, They need to make us actually WANT to play through a STORY , not just random battles. This is one area where AQ, AQW, MQ and DF vastly outclass ED. Perhaps they should actually try make a suspenseful story, instead of the fun, light hearted story lines such as on other AE games. ED requires (in my opinion) a slightly darker storyline. The majority of ED players are 13+ We dont have to have the whole "Ponies and rainbows" constantly, give us something that will shock us. Eg- (originally xendrans idea) The death of oz.

Feedback please.

I prefer ED to be all about PvP. Sure, an event now and then is always fun, but at the end of the day all I wanna do is have fun dueling.

 martinsen5, then duel all you want, the storyline isn't stopping you from doing so thus you shouldn't be bothered if there is one.

As of the storyline, it's meh at the moment. I don't follow it as much since it's hard to follow it and each Saga is different and doesn't seem to always link to each other or just barely which makes it into few different Sagas that are very short. Longer events would be good. ED is confirmed to be on AE's Timeline, alongside AQ, DF, MQ and AQW so we should be able to see more interesting events such as rescuing Charfade which linked it with MQ and Delta IV. We know Eldron (AQ NPC) can travel between different Lores, Delta V being one of them.

We need more writers if anything. AQ has quite a few decent ones, such as Eukara (who's also working a bit on DF now), Falerin has been a writer for AQ for a long time but his work can be a bit complex and good at the same time, and Lord Barrius (who often posts here) has had few of his pieces in AQ and liked by many players.

 I'll doubt they'll make a story line since they are working on other things.
If they plan to make it, then it may be in the next year.

Agreed, But a year is WAYYY to long to develop a good story line, if not great, it should essentially take less then 2 months.

The supposed focus was PvP however, it is rather absurd how storylines are either wars where missions involve PvPing a certain number of times to drop a certain item or kill a certain NPC several times.

It's similar to the other games in that it involves NPCs, but it lacks momentum. It's monotonous- You start a "Mission", it involves winning in PvPs until they drop a certain number of items, then bam, mission complete. Seriously, missions are literally just treated as a free reward system. You start a mission, then go back to your killing spree. Afterwards, you check if you achieved the mission's goal- Complete. Woo, free rewards for something I was going to do anyway~

Missions which are just "Buy x from y, your reward is z" then "Hey, I need z, here, take this reward" mean that the devs are probably running out of ideas on how missions should go. Same goes for above. In truth, however, even I wouldn't know how to immerse someone in a storyline that nobody really cared about seeing as the main point is PvP PvP PvP PvP and PvP.

I dont think I have cared less of the story in any other game, and trust be I have played alot of games for a long time. Both good and bad.
I cant really tell how they should improve it either, as I havent even got the slightest idea of how they ever are gonna be able to "wow" me with the story. Right now it feels like its not even a point in trying improving the story, it is actually that weak right now. (Dont get me wrong, a better story would do alot good, but I cant even imagine a good story at the current state.)

 Regarding the goings on in Delta V, from a story line prospective in my eyes is little knowing of such. I think Baelius (sp?) is involved with some of the NPC's playing a role as well. Having a greater impact on making more of the story line is something I would like to see made in place. Cut scenes being the main part, I feel they really involve you in the story sometimes more than the missions/text do.

 Darker storyline? Count me in. Baelius, or an experimental clone that malfunctioned and went berserk, needs to make an appearance in an event so we can get a glimpse of his awesome power. Maybe showcase some unique skills that are exclusive to him...for now. Muahaha!

More cutscenes would help with the storyline. Focus on PVP is just not enough imo.
Its like playing an old hack n slay game without much story which gets boring fast today.
Legendary games like the Ultima series was that successfull because they have great
stories and much details. Even AQW would be much more boring without its many
cutscenes that are part of the story.

I think that the main customer group of the teenagers (13-19) is still to young for a
darker storyline, even when it would appeal to older players. Fact is that AE is totally
focused on teenagers as the most games are.
