Kasmeer the Betrayer
It’s explained in the small story instance in Lion’s Arch as something personal to her as a bad memory of this time of year.
Yeah, there is a lot of lore happening for this update. It’s better to actually get all of the information before throwing around conspiracy theories.
In fact, if you talk to Kasmeer before and after the event you’ll get a little more insight into why she’s not gelling. Not even going into the revelation that happens in the LA instance.

I predict its Majory who bites it and sends Kasmeer into a pit of despair over how everyone she loves always dies. But that may just be because I want to sup from the sweet chalice of her agony.
And I mean that in the creepy way, no the sexy-creepy way.
I’m unclear if that makes it any better. =P
Now that you guys mentioned it, I think I might have been wrong with what I thought was the chronological order of the LA LS instance and the marionette events. I thought the LA LS instance occurred first then the marionette attacked. I think you were right that the marionette event occurred first then LA LS instance occurred afterwards. It’s just that some things just does not make sense or feels right if the marionette event occurred first rather than the LA instance, since Taimi was assigned in lane 1, yet if the marionette event -> LA instance chronology is canon, then Taimi was a stranger to the others. Why would the others trust a very important mission to a stranger (Taimi)? Reading her wiki , it’s either she just appeared out of nowhere and made the others believe her credentials and trustworthiness, or was recommended by somebody else, maybe Zojja or Logan?
@Lord Rheios, if that happens, I wouldn’t want to be near Kasmeer. I think she is jinxed or cursed or something. :O
If you followed the living story meta at the top right of the screen, it pointed you to Lornar’s first and then updated to Lion’s Arch once you did the marionette event. The dialogue in the instance at Lion Arch also leads you to believe that the marionette event came first.
They did not trust her to the mission; she just showed up. They didn’t even acknowledge her during the victory dialogue. Logan also showed up and there was dialogue of him saying he was taking her to Lion’s Arch.
I failed on my first try, then I went to LA instance, then after several tries, we finally managed to finish the mission. So maybe that’s why I misplaced the order of the two events haha. I think LA instance should only appear once the marionette is dead, but then not all could probably finish the marionette event.
Yeah, that was what I was wondering about Taimi. Maybe the writers could expound more about this, or retcon it?
Simple answer. No one was “assigned” to a lane. They just happened to be there. They didn’t even specifically come together for this, again, they just happened to all be there.

I do think they should have made an instance in Durmand Priory. Exposition is the lacking thing I find in the Living Story series. Maybe an instance in Durmand Priory could formally introduce Taimi to the players, as well as explain what’s happening, what’s the mission, and why they are there (if they get assignments or just go gung ho geronimo). I’m thinking of a mission briefing scene, even showing a map or some sort (with a military drum music as the background, cheesy as it might seem). They had “scout” programming in place already (you know the scope icons on the maps). I don’t know why they did not do those things, maybe lack of time, lack of resources? I’m not whining btw, the battles were enjoyable (more rage inducing battles please, I enjoy the fights as much as I enjoy the rage of players lol), it’s just about lost potential to be more epic. Please take this as a suggestion.
I think the point of Taimi is that she came out of no where and we don’t know anything about her. If they gave us a whole bit of exposition about her it would make the reveal later in the story meaningless.

Yeeesss… -steeples fingers- When Marjory falls “tragically” in battle, I will be there for Kasmeer to collapse into my arms for comfort. All is going according to plan…
Yeah I guess you’re right. Story wise, she might not have been alone in lane 1 (other than us players who represent hundreds more soldiers). Another commander might be leading lane 1, it might have been Logan himself, but in-game we only see ourselves and Taimi (tagging along amidst preparations for battle).

You’re assuming they all teamed up together and headed there to check it out. You’re assuming that because there’s one NPC per line that they all must have known about each other. The dialogue in game suggests that they do not know Taimi.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

Rox and Kasmeer knew from the Priory about Scarlet (I can’t remember but I think it was Scarlett herself who sent the “invitation” to the Priory). See what I mean, who knows how/why they got there. From the little info you could gather, you can make strong inferences that can later be verified (in this case by the writers, but I think they’ll just leave holes, they might be busy with something else). I call this the mind’s eye, see what the eyes can’t see. There are a lot of possibilities, but without thinking of a very strong hypothesis, no experiment or investigation would start with direction. Yeah I guess you are right, they might not have teamed up together and were just there because the programmers programmed them to spawn models there during even numbered hours of server time. They might have not known each other by that time, but evidence suggests otherwise, so they definitely knew each other.

is it, is it Really ?

Except you will have to elbow Lord Faren out of the way, because he has been in that exact place ever since he and Kasmeer kissed that one time, when they were four.

Kasmeer wouldn’t go for either of them. And what’s this talk of her being a betrayer? Aside from the being pricked by a thorn = “oh she might get corrupted” thing, nothing suggests that something bad will happen to her soon.

Yes there is. Its the rules. Whenever someone’s finding comfort and renewing happiness, especially on the anniversary of something tragic, they MUST be slapped down my life and circumstance. =P
not so sure she be the type to betray anyone, too emotional and innocent by nature. That being said she is however the easiest to be manipulated because of said emotions.

Either that or she is the most clever and intelligent spy on Tyria.
