I have been told many things about Icebrood Saga. Now that I've played through it, here are my thoughts.

After seeing my thoughts here, what were your thoughts on Icebrood Saga? Did you experience it on launch or after everything was already out like I did? I'm really curious

[@auran5]

Icebrood saga started quite good, in my opinion. We got Grothmar Valley, we got the nice horror stuff but then they ran out of time with the new expansion to work on. it was weird without the voice lines. Had much fun replaying with the voice acting back in (chievos were nice too lol)

I’m going back through the Icebrood Saga now to complete the “Return to” achievements, which reward you with a Legendary amulet. I remember playing it the first time and liking the beginning chapters, but after the announcement of the End of Dragons expansion, it quickly became obvious that the developers were cutting corners on the second half of the Icebrood Saga story and the final fight between Primordus and Jormag was a huge disappointment. Killing off two Elder Dragons in such a rushed manner after 15 years of build up was almost criminal for the fans. It could have been handled so many different ways that would have been more acceptable to the community.

People say that Ice Brood Saga is bad, however to be true, only Champions is really bad, beside it everything else is really good. All the maps are fun and the Dragonstorm is a nice event. If Champions were better no one was saying any of that.

[@nielsjensen4185]

The thing a lot of people misunderstand about Ryland is that they think that if his Warband was still around he would never have joined Jormag. This is incorrect as the dialogue between the two is focused on him always wanting power and opportunity. He would have thrown his Warband under the bus to get the power that Joirmag gave him.

Icerbrood is good at the beginning, but the Covid hit us all...

[@nielsjensen4185]

Agree, IBS is okay, and then takes a strong nosedive in chapter 5.

[@Connie_cpu]

Ep 5 was sub par and kinda tainted my view of IBS overall, but I'll still always come back to Drizzlewood. Partially because the rewards are insane compared to basically any other map in the game, but it's also a beautiful and fun zone.

[@StArFuRyZz]

The final Jormag/Primordus battle was far too short - I expected something more epic. The repeated missions did get old.

[@sinchill5424]

Yeah, IBS is really good imo until the end. I don’t HATE the end…but I am disappointed by it.

[@pluggedfinn-bj3hn]

Yeah, it is the end that's mostly what throws people off so much. That and Braham being Braham. I really liked the prologue map, but aside from that I never spent any more time in IBS than has been necessary. Aside from EotN and strikes.

[@lilynecinka8276]

Who remembers that this part

[@ginster458]

Honestly, despite the lackluster end of DRM‘s I loved IBS. There were so many banger moments ( I am ashamed I BORE YOU! I should’ve bled you out and spared us all!!) and the horror of Bjora Marches was really cool.

Icebroodsaga is great until you reach the last chapter, then you just want to claw your eyes out and cry because those chapters within the chapters was just made to deley us so that Arena Net could make a expansion. It is well known that this was not suppose to be the ending of the Icebroodsaga it was suppose to go on further. The very last chapter where they kill of two dragons in one go and doing so to Primordus the dragon we all waited for to have some interactions since he was just a dragon with no feelings, no talking just very ready to destroy the world. He showed up with Jormag and 20 min later he was dead. I sat for a long time looking at the screen thinking how can this be the end. And yeah covid did not help us either since we had no voicelines through the Drizzlewood chapter at first. It was added later and i replayed it which made it a ton better.

[@orangebunny3]

It was interesting to see your take on this since you came at it from the complete opposite direction I did. I played it as it came out. I did the grinding for the achievements. I'm a big lore person. I played GW: Eye of the North, which set up the story of Jormag and Primordus. I watched the announcement of what they told us IBS would be then had to slowly watch that crumble one release at a time. I had such high hopes for it, which were admittedly my own fault. I wanted a siege devourer mount! Instead I watched my guild abandon the game one by one until I ended up grinding the DRMs solo.

[@Fishdevil]

I personally waited for the voice acting to come out before I played 😄Imo it's one of the most important parts of the game.

I took a break from GW2 at the start of season 4 and came back just in time to get the final champions update when I catched up with the story. So my experience was pretty much like yours. I think the most disappointment stems from people having to go through the wait between the content releases, which weren't exactly that big, especially during the "Champions" episodes.

[@MusPuiDiTe]

Loving the narration!!!
