Guild Wars 2

So i didn’t know where to create this thread or know if there was one existing for this thing but i have been playing the game since beta, and i very recently watched the teaser trailer again to reminisce on what the game was like then and now and i can’t help but notice…that this place shown in the link of the trailer below, isn’t in the base game as it should be….i am fully aware of other things that haven’t been put in like a few Mesmer outfits but they are minor things…..surely you would not actually scrap a whole map surely? that map looked quite interesting, viewing it again so i shall include some pictures of the place too and talk about where this place could be bearing in mind that this is just speculation and such because i love trying to work stuff like this out OK so.

this attachment is of the scene in the teaser trailer at 3:50 and is shortly shown for about 3-4 seconds roughly and is no where in the base game as stated before.

In Fireheart rise which i have researched and found no trace of why there was a random gateway that’s used to travel to different maps and so forth, now i speculate that this gate may have been the actual gate way to the area in question, if this turns out to be true on some bazaar reason then this was a best bet, but sadly i cannot show you no more because i can’t find it no more, might be due to the recent update maybe have removed it hmmmm i sure am questioning that now but yes this area seems to be located around the Acalonian territory .

please tell me your views on this because i am really interested in why they wouldn’t implement this map, for all the reasons i can think of into the game i cannot come up with any viable reason so please i hope some of you reply and try and show me proof of some kind why they’d scrap this

thank you for taking the time to read this and i hope i don’t get any trolls ruining this genuine inquiry into this, i know this is a bit late to discus this but humor me would you?

:D

I think that was supposed to be the Arah dungeons. They scrapped it for something different. I could be wrong though.

hmmmm interesting i was just thinking the dragons body has the same texture that the stone structures about Orr, you maybe onto something here but even then could have been a dungeon down there or maybe a different map of Orr too

The dragon is not in the game (like many other things from the early trailer). There is an funny old WP video talking about it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX_Wp8SB_Co

the dragon comes up at 16 min 30 sec

This is the Beta version of Zhaitan’s corpse in Arah Exporable mode. He is not available ingame, but That_Shaman did datamine the model a long time ago.

Did you know? This version of Zhaitan is actually twice as big as the current one ingame. Scary.

i did see the shaman post, i was just curious to why they never kept it like this general idea….it would have been so much better i think but thanks for clearing that up been trying to figure that out, never got far in the beta too much exploration involved :P

It was meant to be in the open world but they figured that it wouldn’t make sense to have it in the open world where players who hadn’t finished the dungeon would be able to see it.

Woow.. looking back during that amazing trailer 2009, it look so different!!!!
kitten Anet, why do u always have to change everything.

i know right? it’s such a shame too and rata sum why did that have to change too

Teq is legit 10x the dragon Zhaitan ever was. I hope one day they change that zhaitan battle; make it a fractal or something and just change it completely

O_O

Isn’t the current one already big as hell?

I just hope someday, ArenaNet reveal the current Zhaitan as a simple decoy/champ/whatever and re-introduce this one as a real threat and make a decent-epic fight.
