Guild Wars 2

Found this in the Brisbane wildlands. Im wondering what kind of new zone we will get, one with even more grind than before or finally something good?

It’s funny that you think this game is grindy

That’s been there since release. Not sure when we will get to travel there.

Thats the dev’s special zone where everything works :p

It’s been there since release. There’s a few points like this where there are paths or gates or something at the edge of the map that don’t currently go anywhere, although this is the only one I remember with an actual portal.

I assume it’s either something left over from development, when they hadn’t decided the final layout of the maps, things they left so they could add new maps later (like how the fortress in Brisban now leads to Silverwastes) or just to make us wonder.

Game is not grindy, Dry top and Silverwastes are grinds.

I had assumed the current chapter of the living story would be through that gate. I was wrong.
I was unable to jump that gap, but IIRC, someone did a while ago… I’m pretty sure they reported that the gate doesn’t work.

You mean where they are hoarding the good stuff?

Lies there is no way that they’ve fixed behaviors of pets/minion/etc.

That would fit right into the Sage Lands from GW1 (right near the former town of Druid’s Overlook. Just east from there is Magesty’s Rest, and the Krytan Mausoleum, where Rotscale used to hang out.

I’m sorry, but why do you grind at in DryTop and Silverwastes ?

Tokens for the Carapax armor parts

It has occurred to me to wonder if that was the intended starting area for the Tengu. I gather they were cut fairly late in the development process. I read also that where their border walls are (LA and Caledon) don’t really indicate where the city is. The area between LA and Caledon really has too much water to be a good starting area and the border gates might have been intended to be portals leading to a city elsewhere.

If you look at the map of Brisbane it connects directly to 2 starter race’s maps and to Queensdale by a cut through the corner of Kessex. This mysterious portal to the north could have connected then to the Tengu area and city.
