Guild Wars 2

I was so excited for the Abaddon fractal, but people stated Thaumanova would be so much better. We would learn something about the lore of the Elder Dragons? It would be much more epic than fighting a god.

…now was it?

´Well, we DID learn stuff about the Dragons

Quite honestly Krall, you have to admit this was pretty annoying.

About the only thing that I liked were the implications of the end boss.

I’ve got no problem with Scarlet, I really do not. But Christ this is just going a bit far at this point.

No, because instead of focusing on the actual story of what happened when the reactor blew they decided to throw Scarlet in, point at her and say “Scarlet did it!”. On one side you could say Kiel supporters took a lore-bullet for the Abaddon Fractal supporters, you could argue that Scarlet would’ve been shoved into the Abaddon Fractal with magitech nonsense.

We probably would have been forced to play a clone of Abaddon’s Gate in GW. Remember that the lore-failure that is this current LW update doesn’t mean that the alternative was necessarily better, it could have been worse for all we know. Yes, I voted for the Thaumanova Reactor because there legitimately is..or WAS a lot more we could learn about that than we could about Abaddon. Not to mention the ractor has a lot more to do with the world that we’re currently playing in, whereas Abaddon is hardly a memory in our current world.

+1 to Iretha’s post.

Scarlet would’ve just ended up being Abaddon’s nanny or something.
