Guild Wars 2

After looking over the release notes it looks to be somewhat of a smaller overall patch than we’ve been used to. Anyone else think this might be because of some huge PvE content (Battle of Divinities Reach?) they don’t want to tell us about?

Patience, young grasshopper

Yeah, the moment the Jubilee was anounced there was speculation about what the disaster would be. The fact that nothing was really detailed on the preview page is basically confirmation some big event is about to happen.

Based on the hints the data-miners on reddit have posted one can assume that something big and surprising is going to happen, yes.

I’m still hoping for Kralkatorrik to crash Divinity’s Reach to bits. Or something this magnitude. I would actually applaud Colin for his guile “oh noo dragons this year!” and admit that it makes an impact on the world, like they constantly promise with the living story. But I guess we’ll get Aetherblades attacking DR, their airship crashing down and the pavillion reduced to one big hole again. HUGE EPIC IMPACT!

Yeh, kind of expected. I’m excited for it too.

Colin’s statement was actually meant to be read like that Lawyer from The Simpsons. “Oh no! Dragons this year!?” rather than “Oh, no dragons this year.”

No-one has talked about Vorpp, the asuran dude in the Opening Ceremony. It’s Living Story tradition that you can spoil the important characters (looking at you Mai) by holding Alt and looking at the named NPCs.

He’s a new character isn’t he? None of the other races had a named NPC there unless we knew why they were there (like Rox). Vorpp has a role to play yet. Maybe he’s going to be the asuran Living Story protagonist (or the reason the robots went crazy in the first place).

We still don’t know who the returning character from Southsun will be (unless Kasmeer/Faren count).
