Guild Wars 2

Mad King’s Son, Prince Oswald Thorn.

Taking bets now.

Yeah, more than likely it will be plot related and involve the Prince.

SpyderArachnid.5619:

Honestly? I hope it’s Grenth.

Remember GW1 when Grenth would show up to ban people? Think of something like that. Everyone gets a box in their mail with some ominous letter. They open it, it falls on the ground at their feet, and Grenth shoots out and hacks you with his Scythe like in GW1 and you die.

I honestly hope it is that, cause I want to see the rage flood the forums.

I just hope it’s not another RNG Lottery Box is all. It could contain anything at all, as long as it’s not some RNG box with a “cold day in hell” chance at winning something.

That was Dhuum

1500 hours of my life back?

cries in a corner

KOPPER already nailed it on page 1. (heh, “nail”, “coffin”, that’s soooo punny)

“In the latest screen shot (the one of the figure with red staff) It looks like a door of coffin upright behind him. Looks just like the ‘box’”

Seems that this “box” is the doorway to the Mad King’s Labyrinth:

“The Bloody Prince has taken over part of the Mad King’s Labyrinth! He’s controlling the undead armies in the Mad King’s Realm, while his father retains command of the plastic spiders, candy corn elementals, and other festive frights. The Skeletal Lich, Grand High Viscount of Candy Corn, and the Labyrinthine Horror await interlopers.”

whats in the box? Why RNG skins you’ll never get. Opened 2000 gems worth of chests an got no skins last year. So this year they can shove it.

Ah yes, that’s right. My mistake. Thanks for clearing that up.

You somehow must of missed my post…. two posts above yours.

At least 3 greens

Disappointment.

I literally spit out my tang at the monitor when I read this! LOL

Wait, you can still get tang? I thought that stuff was extinct.

Onshidesigns.1069:

Remember the “Rich Dragon Coffers”. This may just be another version of them.

Oh god, that better not be the case, with its “significant” increase to the chance of the tickets/skins.

A cat, of course. One that’s both alive and dead at the same moment.

Another box with a key that’s in the gem store.

Paradox.5498:

Oh Paradox, I smiled at your comment and then laughed when I considered it in combination with your name. You win.

Hopefully the devs are reading between the lines of most of the posts in the thread.
Although they may be funny,tongue in cheek, sarcastic, there is a genuine feeling that alot of players are tired of RNG and poor/limited/empty drops. People seem to accept it and actually expect little to change.

Siphaed.9235:

Wait! WAIT!

I know, I know, I know!

It’s Scarlet’s Body!!!!!!!! Because then Scarlet will show up in the middle of Lion’s Arch, and pull a Scooby Doo on us by pulling off a fake rubber mask to reveal that she was in fact Mad King Thorn the whole time!!!!!

Best answer yet!!

A backpack skin……

its a scrambled access code that you have to decipher and figure out that gives you god mode and 1500% magic/gold find and 500%karma/laurel gain…

Dark Catalyst.1028:

Disappointment.

If i’m learned anything from horror it will be a Edrick’s still beating heart that he has hidden away to make himself immortal.

Just waiting for the next big MMO…

When I pay real money, I do expect to have something I’m gonna use in return. Not some boosters that are gonna stay in my bank. Not crappy crafting ingredients. Not ticket pieces. To me, all this RNG for real money is an insult to the customers.

Things that I might want!

know the feeling, if I was gonna gamble money away for nothing I be doing it at a casino

1500% magic find would still net you 2 blues and a green. :P

nooooo D’:

bet it is exclusive Halloween ascended weapons<-skins from last year

A portal to Cantha!

The Mad King’s long lost skin. A very special kind of skin, the loss of which is responsible for his insanity.

Twinkle, twinkle, little skin
How I wonder where you’re at!
Up above the clouds you fly
Like a skin-tray in the sky.

An eon ago…The Mad King was but a King. As the Pharaohs of the deserts, The King possessed a very powerful piece of skin. A skin like none other. A skin in which there were thousands of skins. All in one skin. That piece of skin was very dear to the King.

Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teases.

One day…came a traveler. The traveler offered The King immortality in return for his very special piece of skin. The King accepted. The trade was made. The King became immortal. A few months after the trade The King realized what a terrible mistake he had done. He was to spend eternity, without his most beloved and prized possession. The King was envious of his peasants, who were still in the possession of their own very special skin. The envy, the regret, the remorse, the pain, the hunger, the lust, the agony….slowly…drove…The King…Mad.

‘Will you walk into my parlour?’ said the spider to the fly,
‘?’Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy,
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I’ve got many curious things to show when you are there.’
‘Oh, no, no,’ said the little fly, ‘to ask me is in vain,
For whoever goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.’

In this chest, lies the long lost skin of the now Mad King.

Disappointment.
Disillusionment.

The only good thing about these RNG boxes is that they decrease inflation a bit as those who had been farming in some repetitive mindless loop and have over 500gold are more likely to waste money in them.

But repetitive mindless loops should have never happened in the first place, anyways.

So according to the teaser trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=916NOrrPsZw) its the Bloody Prince’s coffin.

Though I’m still saying its filled with RNG disappointment.

PRECURSOR!

Mad King’s Son, Prince Oswald Thorn.

Taking bets now.

Too bad noone wanted to take bets.

Heres what’s in the box.

In the wiki http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mad_King_Thorn its said that:
“his killers hid his body parts in boxes and buried them in locations scattered across Tyria, obscuring their locations with magical seals.”
one of these seals was broken in GW1, now I think that we will break another one.

So in this chest lies a part of the Mad King.

Edit: I just watched the new trailer so it may be his son too

Ascended Wep and all the trinkets, you also get to select the type of stats you want too!

Oh well, I can dream….

Dark Catalyst.1028:

Disappointment.

Omg lol, I can’t stop laughing at this xD

I need to go to bed….

It will be a wheel with sockets on the exterior. You can use it to grind your reward.

Or maybe a single green item like the Aether chests! Oh my, how rewarding!
