Guild Wars 2

First of all let me say, I really like this update, the system of giving us rewards based on tiers passed in a cycle of the event is rough, but a good idea and a system that is still new but it’s good anet is trying something new.

But this event seems out of place. This should’ve been the event to introduce Scarlet; give us a taste of just what she is capable of. Beaming down into a city and killing a few people? A lot of people are capable of that. Taking control of a new force of robots and capturing a few people in a controlled space of divinity’s reach? (Which since Anise was so well prepared and Scarlet failed, it didn’t give Scarlet the entrance that she needed for us to take her seriously as a villain.) Impressive maybe, though it was never explained exactly how Scarlet got every watchknight programmed that way, but again not the terror we’d expect from a serious threat.

This event however, we see Scarlet take a city down to its knees, not just any city though, but Lion’s arch. The main hub city connecting many of the races, heavily populated and defended with their own airships, as well as where a majority of the strongest people spend most of their spare time(The players). We’re sort of familiar with Scarlet now though and it doesn’t have the same effect.
