Guild Wars 2

(re: from wong forum section)
So, as we all know LA got desroyed by Scarlet a long time ago. Then there was a bit of a clean-up, and then they removed all rubble and waste and paved the place with a basement concrete. but for some reason, anet has stopped there. We’re still at the concrete basement level, they have yet to actually rebuild lions arch.

The only thing they rebuild.. or rather.. built at all, is the aerodome. The rest are just mockery marine creatures serving as temporary buildings until the real lions arch gets rebuild.
Any news on when thats happening? LA feels so dead, and empty, as it is now. Like standing on a parking lot at disney world.

We miss the arches and fountains with the lions, we miss the council buildings, we miss streets bustling with life, with traders and merchants, harbors of ships coming and leaving.

It’s been quite a while, surely anet must’ve finished their plans and designing for the restoration of Lions Arch??

(ps, this is not a serious topic, this is a topic to let anet know that LA still needs a lot of work before we can consider it officially rebuilt)

Am I missing something? I thought Lions “Concrete” Arch was done and that was its final look…

For the record, I preferred the “boat town” look but that was another thread

Lionguard Tyrro agrees. I like ruined LA more than old one or rebuilt one tbh.

the problem is.. THERE ISN’T EVEN A LION’S ARCH IN IT.
It’s all marine statues..
What does the king of the hunt have to do with deepsea crustaceaons and squids

The city has already been rebuilt twice; I’d hate to seem them throw more resources at it.
(Plus, I never much liked the old LA; it was ‘old’ for the sake of being old, crowded for no reason, and haphazard in design rather than designed to feel haphazard.)

Mmm, you must admit it had a certain charm though, right? On the other hand, it could be a lag fest in there at times!

I mean, i know where you’re coming from. Being old for the sake of being old is not right. That said there’s a difference between a modern trade hub city and a paved parking lot or dried up pool of concrete.

Look at divinity reach. 97.3% stone , bustling with life.
While lions arch is 103.6% concrete and has one or two lost merchants and one ship in the dock that’s 24/7 stuck in loading phase

Threads about places we don’t like. I’m sure we can come up with a few hundred of them. I’m not sure if we should though.

I rather like LA… leave as is and don’t touch. There’s a good lad
