So i’m wondering why the gas mask does not protect us from the Miasma, you know the gas mask we snagged during the nightmare tower event?

Thoughts?

Lorewise?

The miasma’s an altered version of the tower’s toxin, incapable of causing hallucinations but deadlier and harder to devise an antidote for.

Practically speaking?

They don’t want you to permanently be in Lion’s Arch.

To expand on the lorewise explanation from Mega Messiah a bit: in Scarlet’s Lair you can find one of the plants that Canach used to permanently enrage the Southsun Cove wildlife (that is, if they were affected by it, they went insane, slowly dying iirc, and it was irreversible) next to Marjory’s antitoxin-filled injector. Seems Scarlet used that to boost her own toxin.

Mechanically, because armor cosmetics don’t do anything.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
