Guild Wars 2

… I’ve seen creatures of metal and steam.

That’s what an NPC in Hoelbrak (Kristyna Sohnstag: Trade Commons) is shouting out the whole time.

So I checked out Lornar’s Pass and she’s right. Who built those portals/structures there to let them out in the first place? (They fold into themselves when destroyed.)

Now I also know appear in the personal story line of the Asura.
I’m almost there to start the main phase of that part with my Asura. (I think…)

I understand they ALSO appear in the Thaumanova Reactor to. Is there a story line or quest that connects to this building? (minus the fractal they are going to add.)

One thing I do notice is that the “native” steam creatures coming out of the portal in Lornar’s Pass are rather “normal” looking. While those that are invading now, have greenish parts/glows to them and look a bit different and more agressive. Separating them a bit from the ones in Lornar’s Pass.

So I’m really wondering if Scarlet is truly shaping another possible future or things are going the way they are supposed to be?
I’ve seen groups of Steam Hulks to be defeated and they appear to be a piece of cake compared to her more “advanced” troops like the twisted nightmares. (haven’t been paying attention to the colors.)

I want more! More knowledge! :o

OMG I have hated that annoying NPC since day 2 of launch… Hearing her scream that over and over and over while crafting almost drove me mad lol.

In Hoelbrak, senses take leave of YOU!

I’m sticking with my theory that Scarlet is just a lieutenant of Snaff. Yes, Snaff, who, as a result of an unfortunate ‘You got Snaff in my steam creature/steam creature in my Snaff!’ accident shortly after his untimely demise is now a reconstituted steam-powered cyborg genius who controls all steam creatures (and may exist simultaneously in more than one reality) but who, as a result of all this, is unfortunately no longer entirely sane.

Snaff, I believe, has laid the blame for his condition upon Destiny’s Child. Edge. And he means to have his revenge upon them! Except for Zojja, for whom he still carries the proverbial torch. He has convinced himself that she could never reciprocate his feelings due to him being a steam-powered asuranoid cyborg genius, more machine than asura, and all that.

Anyway, that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it even if it’s wrong.

Yeah that NPC (probably?) isn’t referring to the new ones given how long she’s been yelling that, but I think from now on she can probably save her breath – everyone knows. Also Scarlet does employ regular steam creatures as well, sometimes, but they’re underwhelming.

Funny, I would have expected that to have the opposite effect with asura.

That’s what makes it so ironically tragic! And tragically ironic!
