We almost certainly know there is one, I’d like to know how big

PS why 120 seconds between posts? that seems overly long..

Want to read about a nice mini expansion to make Mordremoth and Zhaitan better?

Please for the love of sanity, destroy DR but DO NOT make us go through another city being rebuilt. Leave it destroyed!

You want one of the playable races without a capital city?
That is insane.

Even if it’s getting destroyed (there’s no guarantee of that, DR has been attacked before)
of course they’ll rebuild it. And they should, the devs can’t leave one race without a capital city, it wouldn’t make sense.

Not insane at all.
That’s how war works.
Leave the new humans to enter the game in a refugee camp instead.
They can still access the personal story in a pre-destruction map, similar to Lion’s Arch, since that happened, chronologically, a long time ago.
It would make it more interesting for sure.

Never rebuilding what you lost, even when you win, is how war works?
Even if that was true (it isn’t) this isn’t real life. It’s a game.

Every race currently has a capital city, and it should stay that way.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against DR getting destroyed (even though I doubt it will happen). I’m just against never rebuilding it, that would be ridiculous.

War destroys things, many times beyond repair.
If the enemy seizes the location, then you don’t get access to it (easily).

Why would every race need a capital city?
It would be more interesting if that wasn’t the case.
If humans would have to seek refuge in the other cities, especially Black Citadel.
Besides, humans also have Ebonhawke. Fits well that it’s the last bastion for humanity.
Sure, it’s smaller than DR. And that’s why we’re building refugee camps outside the city. Perfect.
That gives us a segway to the Crystal Desert as well.

Unless the entire land of Kryta gets sucked into a black hole, I doubt it will be damaged beyond repair.

Cities have been nuked and completely vaporized in our world, they were rebuild. Dozens of cities in europe were reduced to rubble in World War 2, they were all rebuild. I’m sure Kryta can do the same.

When the frogloks kicked the trolls out of Grobb in EQ new troll players had to start in the Foreign Quarter of the Dark Elf city. When the trolls got it back new player frogloks had to start in a refugee camp in Rathe Mountains. That whole storyline took several years to play out and throughout there was always at least one playable race with no starting city of its own. Just saying there is precedent in the genre if not in this particular franchise…

Finally got to watch the trailer…

…uhm. So DR’s getting trebbed with giant bloodstone crystals. That not reminiscent of anything, now is it? Not at aaaaaallll….. /sarcasm

Time to whoop some White Mantle rump.

Those crystals from gw1 were searing cauldron crystals. Completely different things. But since theyre used for bombardment it might as well be the same thing

I’m aware. I did play GW1 for 9 years. That’s why I used the term “reminiscent.” As it seems very similar to what we have seen before. Regardless of what’s actually launching the things (or what they are made out of. Do we know what the searing crystals were made out of? I don’t recall).

I think searing crystals are just crystallized magic. I did some digging but I couldnt find more than just crystallized magic from the Searing Cauldron, which was a kind of magic which in one form or another results from the Titans gifts. I think its just like nuclear magic. The blast destroys after which its magic leaks out killing and destroying the lands. This part is just spevulation, though.
It IS magic, though, as the surviving crystals are worshipped by Geawl as shards of the Tail of the Star God.

I don’t see how something that happened in a different game has any bearing on what might happen in GW2. I mean I get what you are saying, it happened before in a game of the same genre, but EQ has a vastly different way of releasing new content and story. EQ is pumping out 29.99 to 39.99 dollar expansions like crazy, the kind of development I wish gw2 had.

Also this is a Living World S3 plot, which I doubt will take years to play out. The main plot of Guild Wars 2 is fighting the Elder Dragons, fighting White Mantle is a side plot. A very spectacular one I admit, but a side plot nonetheless.

Again I’m fine with it being destroyed, just not the “never rebuild it” part.

Even if it hasn’t been done before, they could do it (and I personally would love it.) Humans could start out in refugee camps outside of DR or in the ruins of DR. We have had refugees in GW2 before. The founders of DR & the White Mantle were refugees themselves resulting from the wars with the Charr – if I remember correctly. Humans as refugees has a place in GW.

I think fighting the White Mantle is NOT a side-plot. They are the main plot; they’ve been secretly trying to recapture power in DR all of these years. Harnessing the power of a dragon would help them fight their war against their enemies. Controlling a dragon would be the ultimate weapon in GW. Just as Sylvari were the “enemy” in HoT, Humans will be the “enemy” next.

Edit: Also to add, it is NOT unprecedented for a playable races’ home city to be destroyed and never rebuilt. The Ascalonians lost their home city to the Charr.

They would simply relocate the Royal Terrace just as they relocated all of the services of Lion’s Arch to Vigil Keep and gave us the Air Ship. The Royal Terrace could be moved to that walled town in South Queensdale or somewhere else suitable.

LA didn’t have an area that you needed to pay gems for. And LA was restored eventually, it was changed yes, but it wasn’t gone forever.
And simply relocating it won’t be enough. I could’ve gotten the airship pass, or the Lava Lounge, or even Noble’s Folly. But no, I got the Royal Terrace Pass because I like that area, I like how it looks and the fact it’s located in a beautiful capital city.
When anet changes the location it’s not longer the product I paid for.

I’m sorry but that’s a very flawed example.
The Ascalonians lost their home city in the transition from Gw1 to Gw2. Throughout the running of GW1, the ascalonians retained control of Ascalon, they lost the city in between the two games. So unless Anet is going to release Gw3 after this episode, it’s not the same.

But yes Ascalon did get destroyed and wasn’t rebuilt, but that was in a completely different game. Gw1 was a CORPG, it was basically a singleplayer game with an interactive lobby. Also it happened in the intro of the game, it wasn’t something that happened after Ascalon was already in-game for years.

EDIT: Also, in gw1 Ascalon was not the main capital city for human players (basically all players). It was Lions Arch.

Given how insistent they have been about the raid team being separate and not taking away from living story development, it would be a huge step backwards if this release did not include a new world map. Surely they wouldn’t do that.

My guess is were going to get the area to the east or to the north of Divinity’s Reach as a playable zone.

Should be cool if DR is destroyed and humans rebuild their lives in the Stronghold of Ebonhawke. It should make sense since the next xpack is elona and the crystal desert gate is on the south of this city.

But I don’t think it will happens since there is the Royal Terrass pass and without DR they have to do something about it.

The video is available now and… OMG – are they giving Divinity’s Reach the LA treatment? Oo

I hope not! That would be devastating as LA looks awful now. DR is my favorite place in all of GW2, giving it an overhaul (of the ugly kind, because let’s be honest, it’s already perfect and any change would be a downgrade) would be crushing. I wouldn’t mind it was taking some serious damage so long as the rebuild will equal its former version.

I was really worried that this release would be coming out towards the latter half of the month. ANet has done really well with hitting their 2-month cadence for Living Story releases so this is a slight deviation, but I am glad it’s only two weeks off course rather than more. Really looking forward to the release, and I hope the balance patch and skirmish rewards are en route as well!

Will there be any substantial changes? Severe damage? Destruction? Relocation? What of new players who join the game? How will they be incorporated into this?

Well, I’m hyped. The story is getting better. Can’t wait to see how THIS goes down.

After going frame by frame with the video, it appears that the assault on DR is not from Queensdale but from an area we haven’t explored yet. It looks to be directly north of CM judging by the terrain, angle of the mountains facing DR and the fact that centaurs are charging in, in one shot. Since centaur homeland is in Harathi and it’s directly next to that space above CM…. well I think that’s a pretty good chance it is. The new area may even extend all the way around DR to the north and west. So it seems at least a small part of the Woodland Cascade is being explored.

Its the area that Lake Doric was. Notice the shot at 0:52 of the bloodstone catapult firing. The glass dome of the central plaza is visable as well as the royal palace to the right of it and kormir high road the the left.

Having the White Mantle attack DR likely means group content that requires organizing, something that has been absent from this season. Hopefully we do see a new zone bordering DR because it would allow for ‘wall defense’ game play. DR is a walled city and couldn’t be attacked using similar tactics from LA arc.

Will Lazarus make an appearance? He is a part of the White Mantle story. I predict that if he is against the WM then defending DR will be used as a way to demonstrate his motives but if he is for the White Mantle, his appearance will be the cliff hanger that precedes the next expansion. The video does feature someone in what looks like White Mantle necromancer armor and Lazarus is a necromancer…

If you want to see where the attack is then check this.

You can see the lake from here and you can see the blown out dam as well. The dam is to the left, we are looking as the water flows down, so we’re definitely to the north of the two dams. You can see DR as well- As we are looking south (the water flows south), the city is on the right- So the city must be to the west. Therefore, we must be to the east.

It’s possible that they flipped the video but unlikely.

So Anet, im confused, are we getting Raid Wing 4 of Forsaken thicket? Or are we getting a new raid altogether, aka Raid 2: Wing 1.

Everybody keeps calling it raid wing 4 so that seems to imply that its part of the forsaken thicket…

I don’t know. Hashtags took off in 2007, and became even more popular starting in 2009; Dismantle was 2010.

If that’s so, then I’m way behind.

That would put the catapult on the East side of DR, not the west side which was the Lake Doric map.

No, the angle is clear in the shot. It’s definitely north northwest.

No look at this picture. The “castle” is to the right of the dome and since the “castle” is the northern most part of DR, that means it’s coming from the right side DR.

People forget there’s a kitten ext to CM as well.

After going frame by frame with the video, it appears that the assault on DR is not from Queensdale but from an area we haven’t explored yet. It looks to be directly north of CM judging by the terrain, angle of the mountains facing DR and the fact that centaurs are charging in, in one shot. Since centaur homeland is in Harathi and it’s directly next to that space above CM…. well I think that’s a pretty good chance it is. The new area may even extend all the way around DR to the north and west. So it seems at least a small part of the Woodland Cascade is being explored.

Its the area that Lake Doric was. Notice the shot at 0:52 of the bloodstone catapult firing. The glass dome of the central plaza is visable as well as the royal palace to the right of it and kormir high road the the left.

That would put the catapult on the East side of DR, not the west side which was the Lake Doric map.

The Lake Doric map was east of DR.

Then why are people talking about the attack is being from the west side of DR and saying the body of water over there is Lake Doric?

The attack is definitely at the east side.
This can clearly be seen from the angle at which the bloodstone projectiles fly towards DR. The palace, which lies north, is right of the dome. So the attack is coming from the right (east). (see pic 1).
It makes sense too because there’s a large lake there, which is kept in place by a dam, which is getting blown up, and we see catapults standing in a dried up lake near a town with docks and no water (see pic 2 and 3).
