Guild Wars 2

This has most likely been discussed millions of times by now, but I REALLY want to be able to Cantha and Elona at some point. I’ve been dying to be able to see both continents again since I bought the game. Anet, if you love us, you will bring Cantha and Elona back lol. PLEASE!

Don’t count on that happening for a long time (if ever). The expansion will have us going further into Maguuma. There may be a very, very small chance of seeing some of the Crystal Desert tied in with some of it, but I wouldn’t bet on much of it.

I wouldn’t bet on it in the upcoming expansion either, I was speaking just in general. It would just be a major let down not bringing back those continents. They were great maps, you know?

well, eventually they can always add the crystal desert and move from there to elona, i do think it’s a 5 year plan to make that happen.
however, we can kiss cantha goodbye unless they ether change cantha in something completely different or make the architecture based on only one culture. (so no japanese architecture with chineese architecture)

My only hope is that the Jade Sea is still solid if they release a Canthan update.

With the current underwater combat system I would hate to experience it.

Elona could be possible but Cantha is not going to happen. This has been the stand since launch. We will have to see.

Thanks for the reminder to bump the cantha thread!

Not gonna happen till at least GW3 in about 10 years. Till then i am sure ANet will offer you payed mementos of Cantha/Elona via gem cash shop.

I believe the lore set forth has stated that the Jade Sea is returning to it’s liquid state. It may very well be completely liquid again by this time.

“rumors claim that since Shiro’s second defeat the Jade Sea had been liquifying once more.”

Still that said, I hope we get the chance to actually see for ourselves

huh, I wonder what will happen to all those chunks of jade with creatures inside them that they dug out, such as the one resting on the beach at Mehtani Keys in Istan.

“Hey check out my rare and expensive artifact that I had shipped all the way from Cantha!”

~artifact liquifies all over the room~

“……”

I’ve wondered this as well. I’ve also wondered if the creatures trapped inside are still alive or not. Perhaps caught it some sort of suspended animation (probably not). Still fun to consider though.

At this point in time it doesn’t make sense to go to Cantha or Elona.
Mordremoth is in the maguuma jungle building his “empire”
Jormag is in the far shiverpeaks building on his corruption there.
Kralkatorix is in the crystal desert.
bubbles is in the deep sea
Primordus is in the depths of tyria underground.

It is possible that with kralkatorix we also enter the desolation, but given his location, I doubt that his content will reach further into Elona.

It is possible that primordus or bubbles move or have moved to Cantha or Elona, but even if it is so, it doesn’t make sense on making content there while Tyria (the continent) is still so far undiscovered.

To be honest. I hope they don’t go to Elona or Cantha at all. It is not that I disliked the area’s, but I’m much more interested in finding new places like the charr homeland (the one to the east, not the eotn part, which is just a small part of thier lands) and the area north and east of giant basin. I prefer to explore new things, instead of remade area’s.

Why?? cause I have an opinion different then yours?? Why would you play an MMO in the first place?

Maybe instead of wishing me dead, try to read my motivations. I truly can’t believe people want another reworked zone over new and surprising designs and styles. Cantha and Elona where beautifull, but it is the past. I rather see them make new things. Just as astonishing, but new.

I love for example the “grand canyon”- look of drytop. That is something that really dropped my jaw, as much as shing jea island dropped my jaw. However. If they remake shing jea island now, it wouldn’t drop my jaw, cause I know how it looks.

S/he didn’t wish you dead. S/he said you were dead to her/him. Very distinct difference. There was no harm wished upon your person what so ever.

“you’re dead to me

old english saying that was used to announce that the person in question was disowned or would never be “seen, or heard” again. "

In other words, Endless has decided that s/he is no longer going to acknowledge that you exist. That is all.

It’s a common joke, Merc, relax.

~peace and hugs~

I can live without seeing either continent (although I’d love to see them added), but would definitely like to see their cultures represented more in the game. We’ve got some nice Canthan cosmetics, and had the Zephyrites show up. Elona needs some love now.

lol you ruined my perfectly good set up!

Anet already said that they will not do a Cantha themed release. Its partly due to their Asian customers I think. Elona might be entirely possible though.

But whats funny is the already existing Asian like content in the game, mainly the Mini Chinese Dragon Pet, the Finisher(2 I think), and the outfits/weapons.

But Skins and pets are one thing, while an entire story line with cultural references are something entirely different.

Do you have any quote for this??

The reason I’m asking is that I hear this often and so far I only heard the Canthan district story in DR.

What happened there was that, just like the Elonian district, there was also a Canthan district in Lion’s Arch. One of the big shots at NCSoft was making comments bout this being offensive cause they where mixing asian cultures there. Cause it was too close to launch to change a lot, they decided to come up with the big hole story that destroyed the entire district and made it sink into the ground. This hole was later turned into the fighting pit and the crown pavilion. The critsism was not that it was asian, it was the mixture of styles and the person responsable doesn’t work at NCsoft anymore. So all in all I don’t see it as a limitation (though my previous opinion stands).
