Guild Wars 2

Lore

I would like the current living story stuff to be replay able in game, and for things that are written, such as short stories, to be brought into the game where we could experience it while immersed (like the mariner plaques).

Is there any intention on doing this sort of thing?

Also: Edit due to people saying I should, haha:
Why don’t we see risen dredge or skritt? Do they have immunity?

What exactly is happening at the Wizard’s Tower at Wizard’s Fief? It has been suggested that the wizard is providing elementals to the town but…why? Is there something nefarious happening here? Is he evil?

Is this Scarlet’s home of operations?

I’m just curious because in the grand lore scheme of Tyria, here we have this recluse with magical powers acting rather wierd. Would like some background on this

Lore Question:

With the loss of Glint and the specialization of Air magic came the Zephyrites.
Is there any possibility that players will encounter other Elementalists with specialization towards Arcana, Water, Earth, or Fire?

Vol.7601:

That is another thing. So many years, two games, and yet no answers.

Mystery is a good thing, but I think the tower’s has existed for long enough. Time to explore.

Here is an great questionnaire and extensive reply by a developer on quite a few lore questions that rose during the Living Story:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1usdvw/unanswered_ls_questions/cel8hpa

I’m hoping the reply will be expanded and be made more known to general community.

Could we see The Great Destroyer again (new one). The news of maybe seeing primordus got me searching on the Wiki for more information. I dug up this little part

Supposedly, the true name of the Great Destroyer would be revealed when the two clashed once more. If the true name of the Great Destroyer was ever read, then the Great Destroyer would rise again and end the known world.

Kormir ascended and was able to become a god. Would Scarlet able to become an Elder Dragon by collecting enough magic to start a kind of metamorphosis?

What will happen if we kill all Elder Dragons? Will this destroy the balance of magic in Tyria?

Oh, geez… there’s so much to get into here. Danicia, are we allowed to ask multiple questions in a single post, or do we have to settle on one?

Thanks!

Question 1: Can you answer any questions left by the loose ends of Guild Wars Beyond? What happened to Evennia, for instance, or who hired Zinn to assassinate human leaders.

Question 2: Why are the Ascalonian ghosts scattered across the kingdom? Were there humans there when the Foefire went off, or did they move outwards sometime after?

Question 3: What happened to the Forgotten in the Crystal Desert?

Question 4: Are Tequatl and the Claw corrupted dragons or created champions? Are there uncorrupted dragons out there?

Question 5: Do ogres have religious beliefs?

Gonna stop myself there. Sorry if this got to be too long!

EDIT: Ok, two more. Sorry!

Question 6: What were the ruins at Mudbay Digs in Kessex Hills?

Question 7: Why was the statue of Grenth at Reaper’s Gate replaced with the ‘new’ style one?

Here’s my question #1
Do you have any plans to use the seer race in any upcoming living story updates or future personal stories or are they pretty much extinct as a race?

Here’s my question #2
Are Arachnia and other such creatures likely to make any type of return (are they dead, or did they ever truly exist in the Guild Wars universe)?

Here’s my question #3 (4,5)
What’s going on in the Valley of Gwaun are Ascolonian ghosts guarding it, did they die there, does it have anything to do with Lord Odran?

Question 1: What has Livia been up to since Sea of Sorrows?

Question 2: What happened to the Scepter of Orr since Livia had it?

Question 3: What happened to Lazarus the Dire after he was defeated? Where did he go? Do the Mursaat, what little remain if any, have any influence on the modern GW2 White Mantle?

Question 4: What was the beef between the Mursaat & the Seers? What started that war between them?

Question 5: What happened to the Glint statue in Droknar’s Forge? There’s no real remnants that I could find in the sunken area – did it just get destroyed naturally in the sinking?

Question #1

A quality of life question in WvW. Whenever a partymember goes offline but doesn’t leave your party, you’re stuck with him, as the option to kick him from your party is not available. The only way to invite othe guildmembers/players to your party is to completely reform…every time.
This also applies on a wider scale. Being a officer in a WvW guild, me and the other leaders and officers are often in WvW. However, as soon as we enter WvW we loose the ability to manage guild for some reason. We can’t kick/demote/promote guildmembers, and we can’t use fast rightclicks like whisper/invite/ etc…

Is there any ETA on when this bug, that has been reported for ver a year now, will get fixed?

Read the post man, lore questions only.

Question 1: Will we ever see content based around the 6 gods?

I’m just going to throw this video in here for kicks and giggles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfd1MKzyjk

Question: Can you tell us something new about the lore of the Largos? not many has been said about them (please, don’t troll me with something like “they eat chicken” haha).

Lore question: Have the pact or racial groups done any research about the thumpers that have shown up in their back yards. Will we get any more pact specific lore (quest driven perhaps) to go along with the living story, or is our membership in the vigil, priory, etc. more or less done and over at this point?

Not just the lore about Largos! Tengu too.
As said in wiki the tengu were a strong candidate as a playable race, so can u tell us the Story of them? Why is the bazaar of four winds related to their government?

And when we will see the zephyrites back ingame? i wanna learn more of them.

Balancing

Ranger
There are a lot of player who think that the ranger class need some buffs.
In order to work on this issue, we’re try to gather suggestions to rework some weapons of the ranger.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/The-Weapon-Suggestion-Thread/

However many players think, since there where hundreds of those threats before, which had minimal impact on the development, that the devs wont listen to their suggestions.

My questions are now:
Is the ranger incomplete in his effectiveness or would you say, that the ranger with all his weapons and skills is at a good spot right now.
If the ranger still need some buffs, would it help if we gather suggestions, to improve the gameplay of the ranger?

Oh hohoho, can o’ wurms, opened.

• Question 1: What happened to the Forgotten? Specifically, why were they not around in the Crystal Desert when Glint fought Kralkatorrik? It seems possible though hard to believe they were all killed during Prophecies…

• Question 2: The Isles of Janthir on the GW2 map are to the north of Kryta, however in GW1 Mantle Knight Franklan states that Saul went south to Janthir to retrieve the Eye of Janthir… Why the discrepancy?

• Question 3: In War in Kryta a seer was seen on a table in Zinn and Blimm’s lab. It has been wondered for a long time: Was that seer living or dead? A volunteer or captive?

• Question 4: On the calendar: why add those five days? Why is there a need to sync up the calendars? And doesn’t the fact that Wintersday is Tyria’s new year, but the year starts with the first of Spring (the Spring Equinox) ruin the syncing anyways as our Spring Equinox is March 20th (for northern hemisphere) anyways? Furthermore, how did these five days come to be, as such a large amount of time would have been easily noted within a decade and would encorporate a full year give or take by the time Tyria went from GW1’s timeframe to GW2’s? I know it’s three questions as one but same topic. And a highly controversial one.

• Question 5: How did the charr, whom were practically primitive at the time, decimate a prepared Orrian nation when said Orrians were powerful magic users? See: Prophecies manual entry on Orr and Orrian History Scrolls It just seems unlikely that a kingdom of strong magic users would fall so easily to the charr after the charr forced marched to Orr through Ascalon.

• Question 6: Where in the Unending Ocean are the largos, karka, krait, quaggan, and DSD from/at? In relation to each other and to the three known continents/Battle Isles.

• Question 7: How much of Thruln the Lost’s tales are true? Was there truly an Age of Giants which had both jotun and norn ruling? Did the jotun truly once worship the Six Gods and have their magic taken from them?

• Question 8: What happened to Magdaer after the Ascalonian Catacombs story mode? Eir said she’d take it to a blacksmith she knew but we’ve heard nothing of it since and Logan, who was going to get it, has not wielded it.

• Question 9: Back to Largos: why do they appear so humanoid despite being deep sea creatures (such a body shape would not be naturally beneficial to underwater life and their movements are akin to that of humans or sylvari when underwater)? And why do they have similar names to Orrians/why does Sayeh know the Orrian language so well (as seen in Temple of the Forgotten God personal story step)? Could the largos have once been human Orrians?

• Question 10: Those ‘thumpers’ are likely tied to Scarlet, almost confirmed at this point. Why is one outside the Chantry of Secrets and have they done anything about it (investigate, etc.)?

• Final Question: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen tengu?

I’ll force myself to stop there, otherwise I’d never finish asking questions.

snow.8097:

Why is the bazaar of four winds related to their government?

The Bazaar of the Four Winds is not related to the tengu. The Tengu’s cultures assimilated into four main groups, calling the groups “Houses” – these Houses were named after the four directions of the compass (North, South, East, West) though the tengu who mentions it calls it the “four winds”.

Oh nice, here are some of my random questions (please bear with me) :

Question 1 : Is there a reason lore wise as to why rangers of the playable races can’t tame Raptors, Griffons and Skelks? Raptors and Griffons are already tamed by Ogres and some Charr have successfully tamed Skelks in Nemus Groves (Diessa Plateau). Surely there is a reason for this!

Question 2 : Glorious Tengus. I’ve seen the rumors that they were originally meant to be playable too but were scratched in the last minutes. Can we get some delicious lore on them? What is life behind their walls like? The females are larger and probably physically stronger too but do they also have a more significant role in their society? What can we know about their houses of the winds? Can we expect them to become playable in the near or far future?

Question 3 : I love your books (Ghosts of Ascalon, Edge of Destiny, Sea of Sorrows) and I was wondering you ever planned to make machinima style movies out of them, using the in game models and graphics at high definition? Of course the expressions, movements and armors (like the ones Destiny’s Edge members wore initially before they got their signature T3 cultural armors) wouldn’t have to be tied to the game’s options. I value books over movies but for the first time I thought to myself, I’d really love to watch these books as movies. Or is this a silly/impossible idea? What are your thoughts about this? Alternately a more mature styled anime (as in not with big sparkly eyes etc.)?

Question 4 : I just remembered from the raptors how GW used to have all sorts of dinosaur-esque monsters even right outside Rata Sum. Are those still around just out of our reach? Have they gone through some physical changes? Will we see them again in GW2? I would sure love to!

Question 5: The book timelines mention that the Gargoyles dissapeared mysteriously without a trace. Such a thing doesn’t happen any day, is there a reason why they dissapeared and how? As in, what happened to them?

Thank you for reading my questions! Keep up the awesome job!

Question #1: Glint was the champion of Kralkatorrik. Was Kuunavang a champion too?
Question #2: When we will see Magdaer repaired?
Question #3: Will we ever see Malyck again? Will he have a role in the future?
Question #4: Where are the 3 missing firstborn?

What happened to Evennia??

1. Do other, non-human races have holidays? Is there any chance that in the future we’ll see them represented with living story events in game?

2. Is there any backstory or lore related to the legendary weapons?

Oooh yes!

• Question 1: Will the Great Collapse plot be expanded upon/explained at some point? What really happened there, if anything, other than what we’re told it was? With the Queen’s Jubilee patch, there was a grand total of nothing covered about it. I would’ve expected an act by Riot Alice, at least, considering what is told to us in that branch of the Personal Story and all the mystery, rumors & apparent cover-up by the Shining Blade.

• Question 2: A tour guide in Divinity’s Reach mentions a “Grand Wizard Garren”; whom designed the gardens at the palace. Could this possibly be a connection to Isgarren and the floating castle? Will this plot be expanded upon? Lore fans have been craving for it since Guild Wars.

• Question 3: Doern Velasquez is heavily implied not to be tyrian, canthan nor elonian, is there anything you can tell us about this?

• Question 4: Is there a relation between the stone heads around Wychmire Swamp and the colossus we meet at the Cliffside Fractal? In either case, what’re they related to? Is there a connection to either of the above and the collosal stone heads found in select places of Ascalon/Shiverpeaks, such as God’s Skull in Fireheart Rise?

• Question 5: Have the Inquest already achieved acquiring the knowledge regarding the Mursaat magic to phase-out, or did we prevent them from doing so in Arah by stopping Operative Brie?

• Question 6: Can Elder Dragons corrupt a minion from another Elder Dragon or “recruit” them? In Crucibly of Eternity we meet Subject Alpha, whom has several corruptions mixed into himself, but is it possible for Elder Dragons to do this naturally?

• Question 7: What happened to Randall Greystone? Did he truly find the gods, wherever they are or did he lose his mind? He became transparent with a tint of red – like a ghost, but ghosts are white or blue (in GW2).

• Question 8: With the update on Southsun this past year, we got new -disturbing- items that don’t seem to be related to the Karka, yet new “tentacles” that appear to be from the same nature, appeared at the hive. Is there a significance to this?

• Question 9: This one is for Colin, if possible:

Cantha?

2. Is there any backstory or lore related to the legendary weapons?

It was already said, somewhere, that ArenaNet will be implementing the legendary weapons’ backstory into the game in the near future. How near that future is I don’t know (or if the plan’s been scrapped) though.

Eluveitie.1290:

• Question 4: Is there a relation between the stone heads around Wychmire Swamp and the colossus we meet at the Cliffside Fractal? In either case, what’re they related to?

To expand on this question: Is there a connection to either of the above and the collosal stone heads found in select places of Ascalon/Shiverpeaks, such as God’s Skull in Fireheart Rise?

Eluveitie.1290:

• Question 7: Where is Randall Greystone? Did he truly find the gods, wherever they are or did he lose his mind?

FOr that matter, what happened to him? He became transparent with a tint of red – like a ghost, but ghosts are white or blue (in GW2).

Lore :

Question 1 – Do you plan to do something like an ingame Codex, with unlockable lore information about creatures, places, npc , etc ? ( Mostly like the Galactic Archives from Wildstar… you could call it the Durmand Priory Codex ! ) ?

Question 2 – Lorewise, which race is better in blacksmitting ? I would say Norn, but Charr can do good weapon in a large amount.

Question 3 – Is there any chance to have a fractal where we will see a battle between the dragons minions and the first Alliance ( Dwarfs, Seers, Mursaats, Jotuns and Forgotten ? )

Ps : Sorry for bad english .

Right! Completely forgot about the Ascalon/Shiverpeaks stone heads. Also, good point on Randall Greyston.

Updated my original post with your additions, just in case.

q1: why do some people not recognize what a ‘lore’ thread is about
q2: is zhaitan really dead or will we see a re-incarnation? is there “dissension” among the elder dragons? why doesn’t kralketorik just do an enormous barrel roll in an attempt to kill all the surface dwelling inhabitants of tyria? is owl spirit ‘really’ dead?
q3: will living story and lore implementation slow down because as it currently stands it seems rushed, and about as intriguing as a scooby doo mystery? it’s a total back seat to event this, achievement chest that

Can we ever expect to spend more time with Living Story characters outside of the Living Story? (Marjory Delaqua, Kasmeer Meade, Braham, Rox)
Such as joining Marjory for her morning coffee as she muses about a case involving the Skritt Burglar. ie, So we can learn more about there personality, background and history, etc.

(This is commentary to the above, not a question. I just notice that we really don’t get to spend any bloody time with the characters who are suppose to be important, and really learn anything about them. Where just expected to ‘know’ them.
And a story with poorly developed characters is a bad story.)

I have never played the first Guild Wars, but I know a lot of people that have strong feelings about it’s lore. So my question is, what made you guys decide to try something new instead of following GW1’s course of events? How did you come up with two centuries of difference, the shift from a human-centric narrative, etc?

Also, thanks for reading and answering these questions! It’s awesome to have this kind of interaction with you

Question: Within the next two years will we see any kind of traditional expansion that is usually found in MMOs for GW2? Is LW the only intended vehicle for new content?

I’ve heard that expansions are not off the table but this was nearly a year ago, just wondering if there have been any new developments beyond this.

Question 1: Is there any information about the background of the Zephyrites that you can give me that hasn’t already been given? I’ve found myself thoroughly interested in the group ever since what I consider my favorite Living Story of 2013, mainly because of the tie in with the older GW lore. Examples: Where did they stayed before they took to the skies? What is their ethnic background? Etc. Etc.

Question 2: Will there be any repercussions for the Krait after the Toxic Alliance? I mean after being tricked by both Scarlet and their own Oratuss, I would think there could be opportunity for open warfare with Scarlet, possibly civil war, or even a “conservative” side of the Krait which decide to return to the pursuit of destroying all others, making them even more fierce and determined.

More as I come up with them!

Question 1
Warriors, exactly how do they work Lore-wise? I’m mostly wondering because of how they seem the be the very basic class, but they can pull off some mad stunts like leaping 600 units in full plate armor, throwing their greatswords like boomerangs and even cause the ground the quake beneath their hammer blows. Is this something you people envision the Warriors of Tyria able to do? (The heroic kind, rather than the NPC standard mook kind) And if so, is it magic at work there?

Question 2
How do you envision Ranger Spirit magic to work? I’ve heard people liking it to that of Ritualism from GW1 (I personally never played it myself, though), but what about the Skills that are most definitely magical in some way, but not explicitly stated as such? (Such as the Weapon skills that has those “Spirit animals” back you up, like Maul, Swoop, Serpent’s Sting etc, or the Utility skills like Healing Spring and Quickening Zephyr).

Question 3
What exactly is Arcane Magic, that Elementalists are using? Is it some raw form of Destruction magic, or some high-end fifth element of sorts?

Question 4
Is there any chance of there existing Fractal planes within the mists of events that has yet not happened? As in, could there ever come up a Fractal in which we’re thrown Forawards in time instead of backwards? (Cause that’d be awesome.)

Question 1
When will we get to fight the other dragons?

Question 2
Will the other dragons get the same amount of attention/content zhaitan had? (aka an entire story campaign, 3 zones and a permanent dungeon)

Question 3
Will we get to know more about the Largos?

Question 4
Will we ever get to know more about the Six Gods?

Why was the GW2 story written to be 250 years after GW1?

Note: “Because 250 is a neat-o reference to mat stacks” better not be the answer…

lore
the centaur

shouldn’t some kind of peace talks happen between the centaur and humans? i mean after all the Centaur are the ones native to Kryta. maybe a new Centaur-themed main city if this happens?
doing this might show some kind of time progression, which would be cool.

Question 1 : Why is there no mention of the 3 missing Firstborns ? It’s been said that they’re twelve, but we only see or hear about nine of them (Dagonet, Caithe, Faolain, Aife, Malomedies, Riannoc, Kahedins, Trahearne, Niamh).

Question 2 : What are the sclerite weapons ? They appeared with the SouthSun’s Cove living story update, but I can’t remember seeing any bit of lore regarding them, which always seemed quite weird for me. It doesn’t look karka-related at all.

How long before the start of the game did the Great Collapse occur?

Oh yeah, I love lore Q&As!

Question 1: The wizard’s tower of Kryta and Ascalon. What’s the story behind them? We will some day revisit them?

Question 2: Like someone said in this thread, What’s the story behind Doern Velazquez?

Question 3: Where was the mursaat city with colosal towers that Saul visited long ago?

Question 4: Lord Odran! Tell us something about lord Odran, please!

Are the Six really gone or not? Their power is still very much present. Players can call upon the gods’ power with prayers, npc priests can summon Reapers of Grenth etc, and their statues are still stuffed with energy. So if they left, why is their power still here?

one question

mursaat when?

EDIT:

one more question lol:

why is scarlet norn sized if she a sylvari?

-rubs hands- Ok, here it goes. 8D

Question1: What is the story behind the giant wood-like stone structures resembling faces seen in some places in Tyria, as example where the battle against the Giant Jungle Wurm-World boss in Caledon Forest takes place? Is there any lore behind them at all or are they merely there to look spooky?

Question 2: It was confirmed Naga are unrelated to the Krait and Forgotten. Is there any relation between Krait and Forgotten? Or are can they be confirmed as unrelated as well? And with it being revealed that Forgotten precede the human Gods, why did they become their servants? Or was that only a splinter-faction of them that we met? :p

Question 3: The karka, the largos and the krait all lived in the depths of the Unending Oceans. What is their relation to each other? We know the krait were never ‘officially beaten’ back then and thus considered themselves superior to all other races, but in the game we see a few largos talking about killing them as if they could do so easily. The karka adults have their impenetrable shells, making them incredibly difficult to kill. Did they merely live far apart in the ocean deeps or did the 3 deep-sea races actually confront each other? How did the krait reign superior or did they only because of their sheer number?

Question 4: Will there be more living stories centered and continuing events of the world? Like will we ever see the Dredge Revolution succeeding or failing and the aftermath? Will we ever see the consequences of Ulgoth’s fall? Will the centaurs be forced to surrender and hearts updated on that? Will the Inquest ever suffer the ‘firestorm’ in the council that Zojja mentioned at the end of the CoE-story?

Question 5: Same question about the living story itself but another focus – rather than adding more and more new stories, will we ever see the consequences of the alliances?
One main-gripe about the Living Story so far was how Scarlet deems her alliance ‘minions’ and that’s all they are which makes them incredibly flat and also ‘nerfs’ them as individual villains. So can they be expanded on?

As in questions like, how does the Molten Alliance sit with the other Dredge factions? What now of the Flame legion? What will the splinter-faction of the Nightmare Court do with the knowledge gained on how to grow a Tower of Nightmares and spores? Shouldn’t the krait backlash at Scarlet for being deceived and shouldn’t with 3 of their Oratuss being proven wrong about their prophet and their first proper defeat cause some doubt of their religion among them?

Question 6: Who invented the lost scrolls? What exactly is the spell? We only know the Six hid them. A spell powerful enough to sink an entire peninsula is on par with the doing of an Elder Dragon.

Last but not least: Why do krait have nipples and navels? :P (Heck, the Caledon’s krait witch even has boobies. The other females seemingly don’t tho.) They lay eggs. And they don’t seem to do it the shark-way.

I have many questions about the Asuras lore:

thank you, even if my questions are sometimes silly! =)

.Why do the Sons of Svanir hate women? Is it because Jora refused the power of Jormag?

.I remember there was a frozen creature below Drakkar Lake (attached picture). Will we ever see that little guy again some day?

Question 1, part 1
The lore concerning Grenth is not very clear. In the Wiki, it says that Grenth was the child of Dwayna and a Mortal, but its difficult to find any reference to that specifically in either game. So, Was he a god from birth, or did he start out as a mortal half-god (or just mortal) until he defeated Dhuum and took his place? And was his father a human?

Question 1, part 2
The ways that Grenth and Kormir ascended to Godhood seem different. Kormir absorbed all of Abaddon’s power and became a Goddess that way. Grenth however, seemed like he just kicked Dhuum out, put him in a prison, and moved in to party for eternity with his Seven Reapers. So, Why didn’t Grenth destroy Dhuum and take all his power?

Question 2
We know that a new race is a possibility in the future, Is there any Technical or Lore limitation as far as what race you are willing to work on and add to the game? (such as Centaurs, Hylek, Kodan, Tengu, or Largos)

Question 3
Speaking of Centaurs….Humans are beating them back, we’ve killed every Centaur Champion that tried to get in our way, and with the Charr treaty, they aren’t going to be fighting two wars anymore (that we know aside from Scarlet’s crazyness), and the Outcast Qindova was basically banished for suggesting peace. Are Centaurs just that stubborn and prideful and unable to accept defeat at the hands of someone with two less legs than them? Or is there something happening off-camera that we just don’t quite know about yet?

Question 4
I’m sure this has been asked before, but I couldn’t find any specific developer response…. Why are Horses Extinct in Tyria?

Question 1: Who is managing the lore of GW2 in Arena Net? Somebody needs to be responsible of what kind of lore is deleivered by the company, right?
Question 2: Are we going to see new lands, areas and zones conected to lore in 2014?

(if you respond to this straight questions, please give straight answers. Names and last names ans Yes or No, please).
