Guild Wars 2

I would like Queen Jenna to explain why she decided to break her promise of rebuilding the arts district in favor of a coliseum, and in doing so, sentenced an entire populace of great artist, musicians, and actors to no more than common street performers for the rest of their lives. Given all the brilliant progress she has established in strengthening humanity and forging alliances with even its timeless of foes, it seems completely out of character, making me wonder if developers simply forgot the lore they imposed with the great collapse. To be honest, if she really wanted to show the human spirit of resilience and will, then wouldn’t rebuilding be a better choice? As if to say to the world, ‘you can knock us down, but we’ll just pick ourselves back up’?

No one ever said Jenna was a good queen. For all we know she just hates the visual and performing arts.

Vol.5241:

From her actions thus far, she is presented as a good queen, and I would prefer it stay that way. In fact, she is the only world leader, aside from the pale tree, that has worked against the dragons in personal story. The char and Norm leaders were never present, and the Asura didn’t care.

ever heard of sun tzu? :P

She did rebuild it…..just not to an Arts District.

Isn’t it entirely possible that her strange actions might just be part of the story and you need to tone it down a notch and wait for the story to unfold fully?

Maybe after the jubilee the artists can be housed in the sections that used to have monsters?

You could put performers up in the Queen’s Gauntlet rooms and if they don’t perform well, you can drop them!

That’s exactly what I mean, there must be a reason for this… that, or the developers got so wrapped up in living story it slipped their mind.

Perhaps she decided that location was better suited for an arena, since it is near Balzathar’s Road. Perhaps she is working on a way to build a cultural center near the God that represents art most appropriately such as Lyssa. Or perhaps the arena is essentially Divinity’s Reach all purpose building. This time it an arena but a month form now it be the Divinity’s Reach Necromancer College Band’s practice hall?

You know, I thought of that, the use of the pavilion for concerts and plays; but the problem here, is that a hole in the ground doesn’t exactly have the best acoustics, and they are so far down from the viewing area, that nobody would be able to make out whats going on.
