Guild Wars 2

This.is.horrible. Lions Arch has been my ultimate favourite game city EVER.

And even if it get’s rebuild I really fear for the worst about what it will become. Some cheesy hearts glowing everywhere, fake Alice in Wonderland Thing with tiny-Tims erm Taimies everywhere? Bah disgusting….

Yes, yes, and yes. And I hope we get to rebuild even BIGGER Lion’s Arch, because this isn’t a city, this is a village. It’s the size of a bigger town square. That was always my problem with this place, being too small.

The size wasn’t the problem for me, it was just too ugly……unlike DR anyways.

Next on the list? Charr city please! Get rid of those gear looking floor tile things, seriously no offense but who thought that up, gears (cogs)? :S

How about no? BC is the best freaking’ thing in this game haha. The gear and metal is part of Charr culture and hands down they’re the best. And LA has nice design to it, has it’s history and that explains the architecture, but as I said its toooo small.

+ it’s made of wood. Has no defenses. No walls. No airships, no navy. No army whatsoever. It was attacked multiple times by now – not just in GW2 but in GW1 too by mursaat and charr. You would think it would be a kitten fortress city by now! It’s virtually unprotected… that always bugged me.

The Lionguards are idiots and soon they’ll taste it first hand.

I find BC really cool, but a pain to get around, so I generally avoid it. I adore the aesthetic though.

I don’t see any Dolyak’ rocket o.O

Who’s betting the kids who have been playing Ghosts non-stop for over a year and a half will be separated? I’m betting a copper!

Speaking of that, I’m wondering how many incidental NPCs are going to get killed.

I plan on sneaking him out of the city early.

On that note though, Wonder what will become of the Tengu…..

What I want to know is what will happen to the norn trying to join the sylvari’s guild near mariner’s way point.

Norn: Are you sure that one opponent is enough?

Sylvari: It has been for other guild members…

Norn: I’m not the other guild members.

Sylvari: Remember you only have one try to impress us to get into guild.

Norn: That is all I need.

Seriously, this conversation has been going on since launch and the suspense is killing me. Will he ever join the guild or does his arrogance causes him to lose to a opponent making it so he can never join the guild?

It seems now we will never know……

“You might have survived Tequatl. You might have escaped from Orr. But this is L.A.”

I was wondering which movie they were referencing to but I just couldn’t place it, doh that’s the problem you get when you watch too movies, I mean come on it was even titled escape from L.A! Now I feel stupid..

Zomorros award you with…. DEATH!

Peetee.9406:

First thought that popped into my mind after watching the video:

ArenaNet is destroying the most convenient hub in the game to craft and congregate so they can push more royal terrace passes and tradesman packages in the gem store.

FYI, Rata Sum is the most convenient hub in the game to craft and congregate. The crafting stations, banks, and trading posts are all on the same floor – and separated by very short walks. Lion’s Arch doesn’t even come close, especially if you are trying to level Tailoring or any other craft that has its station far from the trading post.

Maybe they’ll actually fix the drop tables to make it easier to get those specifically.

Why don’t they blow up Divinities Reach, if they want to destroy something?

Pirlipat.2479:

Because Logan is just too awesome (prepares tin foiled hat for all the flaming to come).

Due to recent events, I will now be charging a premium for JP ports since they are unsafe.

5G per port!

I’m really hoping one of the objectives in the new zone is rescuing a certain curious Skritt from the sewers.

They could give you an opportunity to save him and become his White Knight.

But then he wouldn’t be awesome anymore…..I would be….I don’t think I could handle that.

The invasion is going to be very easy to stop. All we have to do is leave… and wait…

one misplaced bomb on the mystic forge and it’s all over for Scarlet… can you imagine how much death and destruction would rain upon her head if she blew up the mystic forge? I mean think about how many weapons are stuffed in there…

I’m pretty sure the amount of greatswords alone that came flying out of the forge would be enough to completely bury scarlets entire army… and airships… in greatswords.

Well it is a done deal. The only thing that remains to be seen is how players react to the removal of the central hub of the game and the scattering of core functions to other areas. I had thought they didn’t wish to further segregate and scatter the game population.

The sole multicultural city of Tyria gone, and the lore surrounding it made “history”, except for the poor souls going “back in time” for personal stories.

Also remaining will be what they do with elements connected to LA.. why would the Havens remain? Their function is to protect trade routes to LA. Why would the Lionguard remain, since the bulk of them are out protecting the trade routes to LA? Why, with the destruction and subsequent fragmentation would any of this remain? Will they change the dialog of every NPC in game that references LA in it’s current state?

Finally, I wonder “why?”. Nothing in this Living Story merits the destruction of LA. Nothing about the living story is worth it. Not the premise, not the characters, not the antagonist, not the motives. All I see is using a pretty poor excuse to do something that someone deems “kewl”.

LA survived 200 years or so of Zhaitan on its front porch. But Scarlet.. well..guess not.

But, its all scripted now, no going back. Good idea or bad.. the ramifications will be seen.

Good time to me to return to Norrath. I’ll return to evaluate the damage, but see no reason to be in game to witness it.

Say hello to the people on Luclin for me. Oh, wait, can’t do that. They blew it up.

I prefer to use DR for all my crafting, banking, and TPing anyway.

To be fair, they blew it up between games, you can visit Luclin if you play EQ1 but not in EQ2. And, as far as I can see, there is a intact moon in EQN, which will be, most likely, Luclin again (except they change Lore).

Nobody mess w/ Zomoros and get away w/ it. Not even Zhaitan!

Next time vote Evon Gnashblade and this won’t happen.

The ONLY God that stand w/ us today. Zomoros, God of RNG, a true God. God of Gods!

@Teofa Tsavo There’s no fragmentation, everything will be moved to the Vigil Keep.

And why would the dialog of every NPC in game have to make reference to this? Were they talking about LA before? Why would someone in a completely different region randomly start talking about LA when it has nothing to do with them?

And why are you so afraid of big changes? How about wait and see how it turns out?

Nice try. Everquest2, it has always been blown up. Please note that Freeport and Qeynos have “not” been blown up.

Beneath the site of LA Scarlet’s probe found the magical energy she was looking for. Then, she activated self-destruct sequence for other probes, as they were not needed anymore.

Scarlet’s alliances destroy the city, kill many innocents, but mainly prepare all five united races to another war. After the Scarlet’s victory, she will command her armies to stay inside the ruin of Lion’s Arch. She will quietly leave the area and get in touch with the leaders of 5 allied races. She will explain everything. How nobody would take her seriously and how she hates ignorance of people. And how ambitious she was whether she would be able to accomplish what she did.

In one month from now, in typical GW2 cinematic, you will observe Primordus/Mordremoth emerging from the depths of LA, killing whole Scarlet’s armada and destroying the little left after the siege. LA will be lost forever, becoming a nest of an elder dragon.
Arenanet will release the details about coming expansion – in what way it will come in game and what benefits you will get if you buy the upgrade.
/

Another end:
LA will be lost, more little stories about politics between the playable races, more vanity items, more ghost town full-dps-one-hundredpeople-requirement bosses. No elder dragon, no personal story, no Maguuma, no Cantha, no Dominion of Winds.

Ken DeBoer.9268:

Zomorros award you with…. DEATH!

Haha, my first thought was- so… Zommoros “the root of all evil”… now they’ll come and destroy LA to free him

So will this continue to be Anet’s focus with the Living Story? Continuously changing the existing zones, and never really adding anything meaningful to the game? I’m ready for this season to end, so we might see what they’ve been working on.

You haven’t spent much time in the Lionguard Havens. Yes, they do reference LA. Their only reason to exist is LA. Lionguard reference protecting routes to LA frequently. LA exists as a separate trade entity to the point of having separate truce agreements in place.. notably with the Centuar in Kessix. Perhaps you missed that.

Yeah, its a Big Change.. and one that should effect the entire game and the fact that LA is established as the central trade hub for that whole game.. NPC wise. Over land trade routes go to LA. Guess you missed that.

Me being “afraid” of change has nothing to do with anything. I’m not a fan of change for change sake or to further try to Amplify the Scarlet Saga into something it is not begun to live up to.

This!
We could save the city if Evon was in and ordered air defenses!

You people are terrible. Two pages and not one thought spared for the poor Skritt of Lion’s Arch and the fate that might await them. And they’ve only just recovered from the horrors of Wintersday.

Rats are people too Save the Skritt of Lion’s Arch!
