Destinys Edge 2.0
1 2
Crossing my fingers for Canach most bad kitten npc in game when commando soloed molten facilities which is most likely where he got his scorched appearance. His fight in southsun was underwhelming though.
Canach is a personality to other sylvari main npcs. Caithe is jaded and morose, Trahearne is timid/considerate, Scarlet is meglomaniacal/chaotic, Faolain is cruel/manipulative and Sieran is cheerful and curious. Canach is i guess more vengeful and stubborn than other ‘regular’ sylvari. All sylvari npcs are very clever it seems, no dim ones at all, though perhaps not that wise.
Reckon the Asura will be a male engineer from Scarlets past activities (fellow student of colleges or inquest or some lab technician turncoat of hers) with some chip on his shoulder so perhaps world weary or just scarlet weary (to contast with zojja) i’d bet on a geeky male engineer lost in his own muddled ideas and designs much of the time with moments of practical inspiration + brillance, an introverted personality to counter the strong egos in the potential team.
I like this. As i’ve read the book, this is going to be good if it’s true.
It seems like the Living Story so far isn’t one story, there are smaller things coming together. There are sub stories and a lot of things going on in the background. If they could get all these sub stories into the game, so we could be a part of it that would be the best thing.
Kasmeer dies and I quit the game.
Kasmeer dies and I quit the game.
She’ll most likely die (in self sacrifice gesture after being doomed from the thorn) in part 2 or 3 to invest emotional gravitas to defeating Scarlet (atleast for Marjory if not player) She is the most likely candidate as there are 2 humans, Marjory has shown affection toward kasmeer, so her loss would impact on Marjorys self confidence and ego and rage too. Kasmeer is eye candy (so a loss to players who like her looks) with no character flaws or background story. Thus no reason to dislike her due to her portrayal, making her perfect to kill off for impact purposes. There is also a bit of a glut of powerful human mesmer (queen+ countess) npcs.
As fun as it sounds, what makes everybody think that they’re really the new DE? Did the devs say something or? I would personally like if the old DE got involved in the living story more.
Why do the races have to be chosen from the playable 5? Why can’t a main npc character be a Largos, a Kodan or a Tengu?

Hmm as an introduction to a new playable race, that would be cool!

So the team can fulfil same role as racial representative/link to player for future expansion, in same wasy original edge npcs did for player in the personal story. A new player race if with an expansion would add a character to this group, in a role similar to trahearne.
If Kas dies, that will make me really sad. However, it would be worse if they killed Braham, Rox or Canach, for me. Especially Braham. I surely wouldn’t want to tell Eir that I let her son get killed, possibly making her depression get even worse. I know they are not close, but Eir is trying to get closer to him and I believe that she does love him. She is his mother, after all.
I think the worst part would be Jory’s reaction. It would break my heart.
About Canach joining the group, not many things would make me happier than seeing it happen. If Kiel had to let Canach go, that would be awesome

I believe it is, right now, to make the players feel affinity for the character.
But it would be cool to delve deeper into the lore of the Largos. I love that neon butterflies of the sea.

I have to agree with the predictions laid forth, however I’m not sold on the “new Destiny’s edge” idea. The original cast of Destiny’s edge, from a story perspective, is open ended and necessary for the elder dragons and the continuation of the main plot. From a business stand point the voice actors are all but impossible to get together for releases every two weeks….which is why we see these filler characters.
Marjory and Canach have no role hunting down elder dragons. Rox and Braham…perhaps, but are entirely Scarlett related from Flame and Frost.
The entire L’S season 1 cast is Scarlet oriented. It would take a large leap for them to go from the current line of revenge/meddling in Mary Sue’s plans to ridding the world of dragons.

When meaning Destinys Edge 2.0 I don’t mean a literal new Destinys Edge with the same goals and motivations. I’m just saying a new group forming who will be impactful and famous.
Especially Braham. I surely wouldn’t want to tell Eir that I let her son get killed, possibly making her depression get even worse.
to be fair dying this way would be the ultimate honour for a Norn surely? especially with so many telling the story.

It surely would. However, Eir is his mother, so I’m sure she would mourn anyway. She would be proud of having such a honorable, heroic son, but seeing how Eir is, she would probably also blame herself for not being there to save his life or to die with him.

Just curious, why is Faren not on this list?
Also, is it possible that if Kasmeer dies, there will be Faren, Marjory, Braham, Rox, New Asura, and, I guess , a Sylvari? I’d laugh if the sylvari is Trahearne, but I bet it will either be a reformed Scarlet or a brand new one.
You don’t know me.

^Faren is not a character of the Living Story, he is a character of the human Personal Story. Not much can be done with him without messing up the personal story. Same for Trahearne.

Canach was not a good villain, as an ally in Destinys Edge 2.0? I think I would be quite fine with that, he is a flawed character and would give the group and interesting dynamic.
“I am Evon Gnashblade and this message is acceptable to me.”
Canach is only a secondary character, similar to Ellen Kiel. He won’t be a member.
Why you bein’ cute?
Destiny’s Child is the best name for them.
As if Snaff could be represented by a human.
Braham (Norn Male) – Replaces Eir
Rox (Charr Female) – Replaces Rytlock
Marjory Delaqua (Human Female) – Replaces Logan
Lady Kasmeer (Human Female) – Replaces Snaff
yeah what great bunch, 3 females and a dimwitted male. All we need now is another lesbian lover for Rox and this sad bunch can be Destiny’s Edge 2.0 aka the Powerpuff Girls
Come on! No way these guys can be the new group. You would have to lose one of the human females. Add in Canach (a male that actually has a brain), and some Asuran that doesn’t spew out cheesy one-liners.

I think, unless I misread you, your point was addressed by the portion of P’S post you did not quote.

Well we do call the Deep Sea Dragon Bubbles so maybe it will be part of your Destinies Edge 2.0 lol
I feel they did Canach a big disservice in the Southsun arch, completely destroying the mystery as the reveal was parallel with the assault, as if we were to read the first and last chapters of a book, no doubt the worst LS segment. However, it would be completely pointless to introduce him and then cast him aside, so I feel it would benefit development to bring him back, otherwise, why was he featured in the first place?
As if Snaff could be represented by a human.
He is not being represented. It is just the events are falling into place to demonstrate the person who would end up like him.
2 humans this time instead of 2 asura. Last time the master (snaff) died and the assistant lived. Now it is reversed. 2 humans and the assistant will die.
Do we really need a new Destiny’s Edge?

You’re saying it as if it weren’t mere baseless speculation.
Don’t forget Rox’s pet devourer ‘Frostbite’ is replacing Eir’s Garm

I couldn’t agree more. I find it funny how the one update that I really disliked actually featured my favourite character.
Don’t forget how stupid the final fight was.
I agree that they must have something planned for Canach. Otherwise, they could have just killed him. It doesn’t really make sense for Kiel not to kill him, if you think about what happened. I mean, the guy is dangerous and escaped prison before, it would be wise to kill him instead of arresting him again. Since he was not killed, I believe that we will see him again.

Whose role is Ho-Ho-Bot going to fill?
Do we really need a new Destiny’s Edge?
I wouldn’t think so. Then again I’m biased because I can’t get into the writing or lore for this game. They could have a broom, mop and dustpan teaming up to kill whatever dragon we hastily kill with an airship or laser and I’d still shrug.

As for the larger topic, I’ve speculated extensively on how such a thing might come together. I just need to work up the courage to share it here. ._.

Kasmeer dies and I quit the game.
Mentors dying was more than enough. Leave Kasmeer alone. Kill off Trehearne or Logan. In other words characters we have no sympathy for. Hell, I had to look up spelling on the salad dude’s name because is so badly spelled out. But do not kill Kasmeer.

I would be bummed if they killed of Logan simply because of that sweet awesome voice of his :P But Trahearne sure we can have him sacrifice himself as a salad for the new dragon. Our mentors deaths were pointless anyway…so yeah no more death Anet:P Everybody, quit jinxing Kasmeer already!
They’d better give us Malyck instead of Canach.
Malyck then leads us to the maguuma wastes,
braham gets sacrificed by a new cult of the white mantle and rox dies just randomly, maybe due to a heartattack – noone likes them anyway.
A new pale tree shows up and warns us of the rise of a sixth dragon.
lulz
Edit: By the way, the wiki page says that Scarlet knows Malycks secret… so, maybe she tells us more soon.

I think that Rox and Braham are reasonably well accepted by players. They are relatively capable, don’t make big claims about their status and get on with the job as best they can with the occasional “hulk smash” moment. They are very much like the average adventurer.
As to Kasmeer and Marjorie, they are interesting enough with their strange relationship and the fact that one is clever and the other a bit clueless. They make a fun enough pairing.
The only one we all agree to hate is scarlet, for being a villain mary sue.
When talking about it, they said Canach is a minor character (as is Kiel) while the new team are major characters. This implies that Canach won’t join the team. There is a male asura in the coming update who could be a new member, and we still haven’t met E yet. It’s possible that E is a sylvari (even an asura, although that’s a stretch).

They said however that they have plans for him in the livestream…But I don´t think he´ll make a good match for this kind of group. More of him will come, yes, but I hope not in this way.
I´m not so keen on seeing new Destiny´s Edge, was refusing to accept something like that the entire time, but with that asura comming, it´s actually happening for sure. But if they kill of Kasmeer, so that it´ll be as paralel to Snaff…that´ll be just stupid. If there are too many paralels, it´l not be believable at all.
Query: Why must any of a “so called” Destiny’s Edge 2.0 die? Just because the first group failed in their task it does not hold that the next round will make the exact same mistake. Especially considering we don’t have the requisite bait to replicate the first group’s attempt to the same specifications.
That being said, please kill Kasmeer. I want to punch my monitor every time I hear her say “Jory”.
Blech.

Well this entire thread is a speculation, that is obvious. So I don’t understand your pointless comment to some how…. argue about asuras? Stupid bookah.

E is Lord Faren, "L"ord "F"aren = F+L=E, nobody will expect that

That is precisely why they would have her die, becaues she has the most emotional engagement for players to attach to the storyline. Emotional investment by players make the story more relevant and followed.
Truth be told, I’m “equally worried” about Kasmeer’s wellbeing (or Kasi as she’s affectionally called around some of the people I play with).
She just the obvious choice since all signs seem to indicate that the group currently formed ist going to be the LS’s destiny’s edge equivalent.
I can almost see Scarlett’s line about this “Ooops, did I just kill that one? Well she wasn’t important in any way now, was she?”.
