Guild Wars 2

Nostalgia strikes again. Abaddon wasn’t a very interesting villain, he was far less interesting than Shiro and Shiro was dumber than a sack full of potatoes.

Rama.6439:

All I have to say is I just wanted the Abaddon fractal, if it isn’t added, PvE on this game is dead for me, the temp content in this game sucks, I only ever liked fractals and just wanted the Abaddon fractal, if I don’t get it, and skill lag issues persist in WvW, this game is its own endgame.

I think your statement will have the opposite of the intended effect.
Personally, your statement actually makes me want to vote Kiel even more.

Charr fuzzball or hot human chick? tough choice…the male community has spoken!

More like greedy dishonest businessman or hard-working law enforcement officer. Has little to do with male to female ratio or the gap would be much larger, as last I checked the gaming community is male dominant by much… much more than 50%.

Wait a minute…did you take that comment seriously? lol, just lol

Stop it….your breaking his immersion!

Has sad face :’(

Glad to see this was wrong.

…and yet a bonfire surrounded by sarcastic gremlins is still far less interesting than Abaddon ever was.

Kiel is a kitten fried piece of kitten. She can shove those kitten fake kitten ballots up her kitten’s kitten kitten.

Getting a rifle from a dungeon and finding a nice perch in Lion’s Arch. There’s gonna be another council seat opening REAL soon.

Gonna get some more barbaric karma.

I dunno, I wouldn’t be surprised if abbadon was secretly behind the destruction of the reactor.

Abaddon was dead long before that.

Welp no crystal desert just another asuran lab.

The reactor has a button to specifically port in a steam ogre, which is a creature from the future in another reality. So it has some connection to time.

Infact that’s the plot twist. Both fractals would have been the same thing.

Kiel winning is the so awesome. Eat your hearts out abaddon fanboys, even though he was an extremely dumb villain that got outsmarted by Kormir and had his powers taken by her.

Does anyone know the location of the grassy knoll in Lions Arch?

This just shows that most of the gw1 fanbase is not playing gw2.

They could borrow a plot twist from babylon 5:
The main core of the reactor was sent back in time, and was used in the battle between the gods.

You might be suprised. 3/4 of gw1 story was basicly about Abaddon, a lot of gw1 players are tired of him, time to move on.

Ohohohoho, this is delicious.

YES.

YES.

Actually, it doesn’t bother me that much that we lost the Abaddon fractal. Let’s face it, that dungeon would be a bad place for it. Fractals:

1. Are random. Those who wanted to play in the Abaddon fractal would need some luck to actually find it. With the incoming Fractal plus the two Living Story dungeons, the total number of possibilities will jump to 12, so it’s more likely that people wanting to see the Abaddon fractal would not find it in a given 3 Fractals run.

2. Are farming grounds. Most of those playing Fractals don’t really want to have fun and enjoy the sights, they want to get over with it as soon as possible. Something epic like the fight with Abaddon needs to be enjoyed slowly, like a good wine.

3. Are bad places to show lore. No current fractal really gives us lore. We see a silver giant, we free it from some random enemies, but we have no idea of who the giant is, or who those cultists are. Abaddon deserves more than that.

4. Are group activities. Considering this and the random aspect mentioned above, we simply can’t play a given fractal when we want to.

5. Have to follow specific rules, like ending in a big boss who will eventually have a big, Agony-inflicting attack.

The fact we will get the “Failed Asura experiment n°1541” Fractal means I’ll continue to very happily ignore the Fractals of the Mists, and hope none of my character ever sets foot there again.

It also opens the door for ArenaNet to some day show us the fight against Abaddon in all its glory, the it was meant to be – in something like the Bonus Mission Pack for GW1, with content we can play when we want to, by ourselves, with all the lore we want in it. After all, ArenaNet said they wouldn’t implement both fractals… But they never said they wouldn’t implement the fight against Abaddon in a way other than a fractal.

I hate that twist. Screw that guy on the planet, and those monkey guys.

The game lied to me ><
Never again will I trust a herald.

Is it too early to start talking about next year’s election?

lordkrall.7241:

Sadly way too many people simply vote based on the rewards rather than for the story/logic/future.

It’s a bit late to pretend this game has a story let alone one worth following.

Is Trahearne still the hero of my personal story?

Thank you. This is very logical and actually eases my mind about all this mess. Makes perfect sense and I absolutely loved the bonus mission packs in GW1 and seriously hope they bring it back for this game as purchaseable content and unique skins. And you’re absolutely right, an Abbadon based dungeon deserves more than a fractal. Let them keep their sliver of a story of a lame fractal. I look forward to lore content one day. Something we should start pushing for actually. The lore community seems to get left forgotten in this game moreso than GW1 and it makes me sad.
