Guild Wars 2

Burn baby burn!

LA is destroyed by what seems to be airships…
Has LA not seen these airships and been attacked by them before?

Dragons has been killed by giant AA elsewhere in the world, but LA for some reason didnt want any of these giant cannons to protect the city against a very real threat.

LA deservers to be destroyed because of their ignorance and stupidity.

PS. Evon Gnashblade would had used his brain and did this, instead ya elected a freaking human. HUMAN!! Humans are known for one thing.. Failing… LA was more a refugee camp for all the failed human kingdoms, than a real city anyway.

Evon dooms people to die by taking the only working asura gate out of LA and then shutting the portal off behind him. Atleast Kiel tries.

Are you kidding? Predetermined outcome. Period. It would not have mattered whoever won.

In fact, I think Ellen “won” because of that too. Shoehorning Scarlet into an abbadon fractal would have been impossible even for Leylines McCoy, and they seem determined to rid themselves of the 6 gods and GW1 residue in this game.

LA was a powerful city in Guild Wars 1….Before Guild Wars 2 the reconstruction wasn’t due to human failure it was due to Zhaitan rising and wiping the city out with a tsunami practically

You know that human was the only thing actually trying to prepare LA for the attack. The council didn’t believe her, they wouldn’t have believed Evon either.

Also since you are so racist towards humans I assume you are an animal of sorts in real life that has somehow learned to speak?

Exactly, I really, really hope people don’t believe that anything would be even the tiniest bit different if Evon won because that would be very naive.

If Evon won then Ellen would be the one who “tried to warn the council but Evon was too busy playing in the mists to listen”. The result would be the exact same.

As for the OP I truly hope you don’t mean to believe that the people of LA deserve death because their leaders messed up, because that’s a hideous attitude. People warned the captains council yes (in the last fortnight or so) but even if they had listened they couldn’t “magic” AA defences into existence in Lion’s Arch any quicker than they could in the real world.

Mind you, they did “magic” a whole bunch of Asura gates into existence at Vigil keep and one at Lornar’s Pass so maybe they could but it would seem hollow to me. (I’m assuming they weren’t creating those gates before the patch hit).

Oh I think the Living Story team would have managed to fin a way to get her into that one too. The mists are only a reflection or echo after all, she can invade the mists too and could do so to perform her own research, my own theory is that the Abaddon fractal would have some insight into the entity that’s controlling Scarlet. I suspect it’s a god, possibly one we thought already dead.

If the captains counsel would take the warnings serious, they would definitly have asked for the pact to help them out with some off the airships. But they didn’t take the warning serious (besides Ellen) resulting in this catastrophy.

Lion’s Arch has always been a center off comerce, and been neutral in most conflicts in the world (Jotun’s, Centaur’s, Skritt, Tengu and troll’s, they are all welcome in Lion’s Arch). They always trusted that neutrality to be not involved in conflicts. Where, when it comes to defending against Elder Dragons they count on the presence off the orders to help out.

There is also a more technical reason for the counsel to be ignorant to the warnings. The living story has a separate timeline to the personal story. It is very much possible to experience the living story before you experience the personal story. So it was important to keep the pact airships out to maintain that effect.
