Anyone notice this poster right on the doorway to the Lion’s Arch bank? It looks like it has something to do with this month’s event because it has palm trees on it. Anyone know what this says, or what it’s about?

that is epic! thanks for translating that. Can’t wait to see the new area. I’m working hard on making my main toon lvl 80 for the release of the new area, @ lvl 70 right now, 10 more to go…

Pretty sure the zone upscales you to 80.

Thats pretty cool dude. i was wondering the other day when i saw some of them letters written on stuff if they actually said something and how long until someone figured it out. reminds me of people who figured out the dead space stuff a long time ago. i saw that poster earlier today and wondered “has that been here this whole time and i just now noticed or is it new?” but good work.

Hey all,

There is a guide to ‘New Krytan’ on the wiki that some may find interesting;

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/New_Krytan

Have fun!

BTW – This post is not meant to detract from the OP – very nice work there.

yeah, it’s a teaser for the new update. same for the whales on the beach, the giant monster warnings, the ships, the absurd amount of crabs they put throughout all of lion’s arch, and that house with an asura gate just after the docks in claw island portage.

my bet is that the place will be a tropical resort of sorts, with a pirate themed twist.

How come it would up-scale you? Is it not a PVE zone?

Well they keep talking about a one time event, would make sense to up scale people so they won’t miss it.

that much is true, hopefully it’ll be a cool event!
Anyone know if it’s gonna be a 19:00gmt release again?

Oh wow… if only I knew about that guide xD Ah well, I had loads of fun running around and figuring out the different letters though ^^
And I see now the first word is ‘avast’ and not ‘alast’ as I first thought. They appear to be using different fonts too sometimes which makes some letters look slightly different.

And Soultrain, I’m not a dude! :C

Well, I’m dead curious either way what this is all about Along with the whale on the shore and the ship that I can’t recall being there before this looks pretty promising

they said the event (and the island) will scale everyone to 80 so you don’t miss it. the island itself isn’t an addition to endgame, but some of its features (like the new dungeon type they’re introducing) are.

the island, from what i got, will become a hub for a lot of new content they’ll add, with plenty of activities and “fun stuff” to do.

I love the translation!
I saw those posters yesterday while wandering in Lion’s Arch and I was hoping for someone transleting them!

I’m so excited about this new event. Did you see there are some wood signs on the shore near the whales? I’d like to know what’s written on them. There’s a monster (like a big crab) chasing a little man running away.
I think they are promosing us big vacations in a paradise place and then we’ll find out there’s a big monster waiting for us!

Woooooow thanks so much BrunoBRS!
I have to stop laughing… this text is so funny! I love the sense of humor of the devs!

“Enter at your own risk” may refer to the new asura gate (it is mentioned on the poster’s translation) under construction? Maybe these wood signs mark the spot where we’ll find the gate..!

That is mighty impressive. Also, Krytan looks as if it would be a pain in the butt to use on a regular basis.

aw man… I’m way too curious, so I want to click that spoiler. But I kinda want to figure it out on my own .." Ack x__x

I hadn’t seen the crab sign yet, the translation is funny though xD

@Moirweyn: It’s easier to read than to write imo. But it’s not like you have to write krytan ingame anyways
After a while the letters start being more familiar and it gets a lot easier. I recognise 11 letters right away by now and come quite an end with that. Once you got the biggest part of a word it’s not all that hard to gues the rest anymore

My memory being as tight as a steel sieve as apposed to a steel trap, led me to download and print out the ‘codec’ or ‘cipher’ (takes your pick) from the wiki!

I Decoded the full poster including the small print quite easily once I got a clear enough view of it. The words are pretty easy to guess accurately once you get the ‘biggest part’ as pointed out.

It will take longer to read the new language without my handy code card but I have already started to do so!

Awesome! And I personally still have a sheet with the letters by the side too
English isn’t my native language and even though I speak it fluently, there are still some words I don’t know yet, which sometimes makes it harder to decipher some words.

Had to log in to my Char to get close enough to translate the top, and my Asura for the fine print at the bottom, boy was that hard even then to get the fine print. Must have been an Asura Lawyer who wrote it.

True, true. Asura Lawyers will never want others to read the fine prints XD.

Yes, it’s PvE, but the mad king zones was also PvE and also upscaled you to 80.

Oh finally an event that I will enjoy from the very start. On Halloween I had really short time but tomorrow I’ll be there waiting patiently. Where’s everyone meeting? L.A.?
