Thaumanova "Chaos Mists Discussion"
That’s assuming that we’re there during the reactor fallout. I’m quite sure we’d be there right before as during would be extremely dangerous and potentially death-inducing (to the characters).
Right before the fallout there were sightings of Destroyers.
It was something I was discussing in an RP session from an in character perspective the other day.
Where reality has been “infused” with different elemental aspects it bears some resemblance with draconic corruption. Do the dragons redefine reality/the mists in terms of their aspect? – Is the thaumanova fallout not so much chaos as corruption from an illicit experiment involving dragon energies?
We’ll never know the answers if Evon wins :p

Chaos is shown to have ties to draconic magic (Inquest experiments at Thaumanova lead directly to building of CoE, and their studies into draconic energies), ability to affect time itself(the ‘Thaumanova rupture’ pulled beings from other timelines, including the steam creatures that continue to plague Tyria to this day), and to be highly unstable.
If a fractal was implemented, this could be explored, and possibly chaotic technologies could be used in subsequent content to harness dragon energies (for science, of course), and perhaps even explore alternate timelines, such as one in which a vary familiar Asura went mad scientist and took over all of Tyria
My theory: the Inqeust created a proto Elder Dragon made of chaotic matter (which would be on par with a black hole coming to being in CERN as a real world analogy) and we have to destroy it before it is capable of assuming a physical shape/growing too powerful, by overloading the reactor.
A fantasy of sci-fi cyborg implants grafted into the desiccated flesh of Guild Wars’ corpse.
Some interesting ideas here so far. Hope Anet is reading this.
The GW underworld “Realm of the Dead” is part the Mists. It’s the realm of the God Grenth. Mad Realm is also within the Mists too.
Maybe Chaos mixed with the Mists. Will allow openings into these realms from in the Mists or open world.
This could lead to more holiday/event content like the Mad King doors. Which were openings to the Mad Realm.

It would be lured to play fractals if this suddenly became scary/dark like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. / Metro 2033 – look out for anomalies and bloodsuckers! :P
What about housing? If open world and the mists becomes unstable. Could housing then be placed in the Mists?
I always enjoyed the “shout-out” parallels between Thaumanova and Black Mesa of Half-Life fame. Scientists working in a remote location in a secured research facility, suffer a devastating accident which leads to various creatures teleporting into the facility and killing any hapless workers they come across, followed by an attempted cover-up (the Inquest trying to kill you during the Flame Elemental event).
I’d find it highly amusing, if there was a semi-parody of Half-Life 2 to follow suit.

Its only a fractal of what happened before. I doubt it would open a portal in Tyria today, as it would have done that already. I’d rather see Gods in action.

NO it’s not! Anet didn’t start developing it yet. Anet may use some of these suggestions for a future living story.
Don’t post here if you are going to be a troll. This post is to inspire Anet if Thaumanova is chosen.
It definitely could have some Half-Life 2 parallels to it.
My favourite scene in HL2 is the teleporter glitch scene, and the secrets/mysteries it briefly reveals. And it doesn’t even skip a beat. It just keeps on going leaving the player to wonder what just happened.
That would be an awesome thing to see happen in The Mists.

Its called the Thaumanova Reactor Explosion so it is a fractal of what happened before and won’t have any affect on Tyria. We’d visit the Crystal Sea if we choose Abaddon which we’ve never seen before.
But it’s highly unlikely that we’d see or even partake in the fight of the gods. It’d most likely revolve around margonites.

You are speculating about the Crystal Sea. Just like I am speculating on Thaumanova. And I do use the word “Speculation” in my post.
After researching gw wiki. Both the reactor and Thaumanova has had a “Chaos Rift” in them. This could mean I’m right about the reactor. But it also supports the idea that Abaddon fractal could have the same effects in the Mists.
I think now that Thaumanova and Abaddon. Will have the same effects in the Mists and open world. No matter which fractal wins.
Thaumanova: Chaos Rift+ fractal Chaos Rift=Portal to Realm of Torment
Abaddon: Chaos Rift+fractal Chaos Rift=Portal to Realm of Torment

Neither will have an affect on the world.
