Guild Wars 2

I don’t know how many other people stopped into Lion’s Arch and took a moment to actually look around and let it all settle in. (Read: Allowed the emotional state of the city to do its job and immersed oneself in what has happened.)

Without any enemies to distract you from the environment, and tons of people bustling around.

Lion’s Arch is somber, silent, sad and the atmosphere is heavy. Ashes fall from the sky, the sun hazily pokes through the clouds and even the blue sky is a grey brown, rays of light sparsely poke through as if there is no room for the sun in the city. It is just a city of course, but if Lion’s Arch had been a person, you would be playing a funeral march for it now.

The buildings are still destroyed, the light house is gone, the Lion is still cleaved in half in it’s death throes and the bridges are all crumbling and broken to shards.

Walking through Lion’s Arch… I don’t feel like I’ve won anything. All I feel is sad, incredibly sad.

All I have to say is this is spectacular. Bravo.
