Rurik kills the king and force marches the Ascalonians across the shiverpeaks, he abandons the prisoners leaving a small "suicide" contingent to hold off the Char while they make their escape. One of the people left behind would be you of course.
Rurik would not die in the peaks, he would in fact betray the DDwarves to the SSummit in exchange for safe passage. Arriving at Kryta, news of his ruthless behaviour pleasing the Murrsat they offer him safe haven and an alliance against the furred barbarians.
rather than a pissy little crybaby Rurik could have been a man willing to sell his very soul in order to "save" his people, and in doing so become the greatest menace in Tyria.
kind of a fusion between factions and prophesies. Factions would have been the straight up (much more realistic and entertaining) story of the civil war in Cantha spilling out, drawing you in and leading to your team overthrowing THAT empire in order to make place for the "Noble" Ascalonians.
no "god" killing none of this crappy "im evil because i like destroying stuff" characters.

In GoM, Shiro and Lich show us as allies who have been betrayed by Abaddon, thus they help us to do.. something o.O and in the end battle, they both sacrifice and turn out to be some sort of good guys. Or at least for Shiro, I always liked him and that would propably soften the we-kill-god thingy.

I would have made Gadd get corrupted somehow and had an epic boss battle against him.

I would have Adelbern like stabbed in the back by a Charr right after he tells Rurike to leave. Never liked that bitter old man O.o

Pshh...so much for ONE change. I'll post some of my own then.
Rurik = king, Togo be brought back as an undead (like Rurik was), SHIRO NOT FALL FOR THE TRICK AND DIE, Margonites and Abbadon reunite with the 5 Gods...

If I could change the storyline I would do the following:
Prophecies:
After the lich had unleashed the Titans, the Mursaat would shallow their honour and form an alliance with the player in the titan quests, in the end presenting us with their magical knowledge for saving their race (Spectral Agony!!!!!!)
Factions:
You are once again defeated by shiro in Imperial sanctum. He feeling powerfull again, heads towards the Jade sea and Echovald forest to kill the heirs of Archemoros and Viktor as revenge (yeah i know he conjured the jade sea, and that was terrible for both kursicks and luxons, but knowing shiro, he would be happy with just that :P) The luxons and kursicks would unite to defeat this common foe. I imagine the cutscene... Shiro on a hill next to Maatu keep the luxon armada and the Houses of the Echovald marching towards him, he then tries to summon his Shiro'ken, but WHOPS! he's no longer an envoy so he cannot control the bound spirits of the dead, the other Envoys use his bound army to defeat him alongside with the resurrected players, with the aid of the Luxon-Kursick alliance, freeing the bound souls afterwards.
Nigthfall:
I'm pretty with NF story, tweak would be either make Kormir more respectable and brave, or make a god out of Dunkoro's son (Why the hell not? if kormir can be god why can't he?)

proph:
Adlebern dies, Rurik charges after charr and is killed. You become king of Ascalon and exodus to Kryta, then story stays the same.
factions:
Shiro isn't evil, is actually a revolutionary wanting a better government for Cantha. He comes back from being assassinated to have you finish his wants, which you complete. Kurzick/Luxon are united with you, and you march on the palace and kill the emperor. Shiro takes over his body and creates a better government.
nightfall:
at GoM, with shiro being not evil, the lich has a re-raised rurik and an undead adlebern as his minions. adlebern is an axe warrior of some sort with a fiery bladed axe, and rurik has his fiery dragon sword. give them some insane monster skills to combat you with to make them on par with shiro in the current storyline. adlebern ends up being an avatar of abbadon, and his being killed by the charr actually started the problems in Elona. At the end, kormir doesn't become a god either, that was just dumb.
and, to top it off, the Great destroyer ends up being glint's baby, and by killing it Glint raises the other dragons to start GW2. the ritual takes the 200 years or whatever the difference from GW to GW2 is.

If you bought Factions from a video game store, there's a cinematic (in real-life graphics) of Shiro when he assassinates the emperor (and the jade wind wich subsequently follows). So he did spill a lot of blood there... Its on guildwars.com if you want to download it.

I have the CD, and I have the cinematic downloaded on my computer, I was actually thinking about that cinematic when I was reading that.

Keep Gwen more of a mystery and on the sideline, rather than sticking her right into the plot. I think there's a virtue to that sort of modesty, in not trying to discover and explain everything but forcing people to wonder.
Knight of Dark Mage
Kill off Kormir she does like 1% and gets to be god. now that's unfair. anyway "god of truth" wow that sure helps alot to pray to. (mabye if you have a true or false test)
Spike Stritter
make kormir emo so she cuts herself and dies.
PANTHOR
Make my main not a ginger so I can actually play without a helm 24/7 or just make him a female. D:
Nick Of Troy
If i could change one thing in Guild Wars...
Paragon gets a helmet as his headpiece, not that ridiculous floating rock thing. Either Oblivionish Legionare helms, or one like the White Mantle have

I hope Kormir would've died and not take OUR job to become a God.
I also hope that Abaddon would be a ''good God'' water and wisdom Ftw!

I really didnt like the last fight with Abaddon, was weak. I would make Abaddon win that battle and free himself out of those shackles and raise some more hell in other regions. Let Abaddon run free for a little bit before he gets destroyed finally.

I'd have Cantha and Elona included in the GW2 lore instead of cutting them off. Seems like a cheap/lazy move to me -_-;;
That's a great idea. Reminds me of Kefka taking over in FFVI. Imagine if they did an Elona expansion (similar to what GW:EN did for Tyria) that allowed for something like this, followed by Palawa's return to the Crystal Desert...
Hell, Cantha could have its story proceeded with an expansion dealing with the Emperor's attempt at assimilating the Luxons and Kurzicks and the united Luxon-Kurzicks and the Tengu fight against the Emperor in order to leave Cantha for refuge elsewhere...
Also, how were these two continents affected by the GW:EN tremors (and the Destroyers)? After all, considering there are tears in the planet that lead to Kaineng City and Kaamadan, it's clear that the tunnels had made their way to these continents and, thus, would have expanded more dungeons in Cantha and Elona as well.
Yeah... can you tell I hate that Tyria's the only continent getting all the attention?

Also, the dungeons are not created by the earthquakes, despite what ANet originally told us. The dungeons are like Sorrow's Furnace and the Catacombs, underground tunnels. The only thing the earthquakes really did was destroy walls/ceilings that led to the dungeon that we find Ogden and Vekk in.

If i could change one thing in the storyline, when Dagnar Kills Rurik [WHAT], instead of rurik dying, like normal people do when they are killed, he would actually have been enchanted with divine intervention and wearing a weapon of shadow, so dagnar would be blind, and since hes a warrior when hes not on his mount, hes very affected by the blind condition so hes not a brave warrior anymore but a Coward, so rurik takes this chance to call him a [coward] and dagnar is knocked down, but when he falls down hes such a big domage warrior that he falls >9000 feet away and crushes the player character, ending the storyline at its logical closure point and forcing the player to stop playing pve and become gud at gvg, the end.
OR IS IT!?...no its not!
rurik was busy celebrating his enormous victory by using his special max zaishen rank emote to wtfpwn dagnars dead body, when he realized that he had been hexed by a nearby master assassin ninja with [wastrel's collapse], and as we all know /zrank is not a skill so rurik was knocked down, and as he is also a mighty warrior you would think that he would fall >9000 feet and crush another random person under his enormous domaging weight, but wait! he used [healing signet] while his stance was [frenzy] for epic winheals! and so when he got back to ascalon and his father the king addleburn forgived him for leaving the kingdom his only danger was that he was bleeding so the king finally revealed that he is actually a mo/me so he cast echo and then mending on both himself and rurik and while rurik's mending countered the bleeding (!) king addleburn enjoyed a prosperous +3 health regen, which to the surprise of tyria and all of guild wars planet made him stronger than ever before so he took over the world except for the battle isles becuase he was allergic to small islands - thats just his excuse, he actually couldnt find a boat that he hadnt broken already with his epic hamstorm combo - so everybody flocked to battle islands and pvp turned into the new pve but suddenly, a challenger! its kormir but since shes blind and everyone knows paragons are just warriors with sissy spears (amirite?) so rurik realized he could use his elite skill [coward] on her too because she was even more of a coward than dagnar becuase not only was she blind she wasnt even melee ranged attacks! the end

It will be like Prophecies,Factions and Nightfall again - introduce each continent and their storyline bit by bit - Dragons in Tyria,Emperors race rules in Cantha and Palawa Jokos army and the Mordant Crescent. And lets remember that Tyria is the most important of all three continents due to it being the first area we visited aswell as all of the major screw ups and covers ups happening on it.

Abaddon didnt exist. Period.
At the end of Nightfall, we fight Menzies rather than Abaddon, tying up like, eleventymillion loose ends and avoiding lots of speculation.

Personally, I thought it a bit dumb when Shiro and the Lich were helping Abbadon. Seemed to retroactively change the storyline, since before, it seemed like Khilbron's explosion was an accident, or rather he didn't know what the spell would do since he just found it in an old library under Orr. So Dhuum and Menzies are the bosses instead of Shiro and Khilbron.
Kormir should turn rt/p after getting blinded, or just die and be a ghost later on. Or even just use motivation skills instead of body blocking us as we fall back from torment claws popping up in the last mission.
Undead Rurik helps a bit, instead of dieing. Maybe breaks open the door to the bloodstone chamber before getting deanimated by Khilbron?
Also, during the final mission of Factions, a Juggernaut breaks down a wall and throws a siege turtle at Shiro, and the spirits at Tahnakai do something awesome, and then just one of the oracles shows up and really quick like seals Shiro, instead of the slow death, and Kuunavang shatters the statue. Paragons and Dervishes need their own celestial skills, too, but thats entirely different (Avatar of Herald Demrikov? Anthem of the Mists?). And Togo does not replace Kaolai as the rit spirit. It's just not right. Everyone loves Kaolai.

that would make tahnnakai temple a lot easier
in the proph storyline, you follow the charr down to orr and get a free run to elona from a forgotten
in the NF storyline, kill palawa after he shows you to his bone palace, thats elona safe for another 250 years

man theres a lot of kormir hatin in this thread.
but i dont blame anyone
proph - mini-mission in pre-searing, you get to hunt down and kill gwen. God i hate her
factions - stop with the whole split factions. End battle is a huge mish where luxons and kurz team up and fight shiro, with like hundreds of allies and hundreds of enemies. MAKE IT EPIC
nightfall - stab kormir in the eye and feed her to a junudu.
