* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: ''Eye of the North'' focuses its attention on three of the playable races from the sequel while hinting at the Sylvari and the Elder Dragons. The ''Beyond'' storylines were designed to reflect the history between the two games, such as restoring the Krytan monarchy and Cantha's turn to xenophobia.

** ''Eye of the North'' can also be considered this. ''Nightfall'' neatly wrapped up the meta-story of the three base campaigns. ''Eye of the North'' introduced an entirely new enemy and two new races, showed a previously hostile race in a new light, and effectively neutralized a friendly race.
