This is probably the name of an expansion that’ll release on August 28, 2015.

But it could just be the name of the LS season 2 soundtrack, which would make all this hype hilarious.

I heard that in the language called Positivity, Heart of Thorns actually translates out to precursor crafting, guild halls and new weapons/skills/and classes.

However, in it’s sister language called Negativity, Heart of Thorns means “More Trahearne” in English.

Strangely enough, the languages have both been known to be right from time to time despite their vastly different cultures.

Well, no. It’s just us getting our hopes up. They didn’t say anything to us, just deposed a trademark.

Edit: silence would actually be a good sign. If they were to release an expansion, they wouldn’t write a post on a obscure sub forum. They would, I don’t know, announce it in a big speech on the main scene of a big convention. Oh wait…

And the response that followed was easy to predict. Wouldn’t be the first time a lot of people got hyped over a trademark. And I don’t blame them, many people are probably craving for an expansion, I know I am.

But I don’t want to hype over something that may not happen at all. Registering a trademark doesn’t stay a secret forever. If there isn’t going to be an expansion it’s easy to just make a simple forum post saying there won’t be one. PAX has been sold out for months so it’s not like they will loose any money because of it.

Heart of Thorns?

What he said.

A large patch/update/expansion telling the story of how Mad King Thorn finally broke back through to the mortal realm? Yes please. Dragons can go suck a brick for a year while we battle with Thorn.

Also I would also add this. “Cantha, pretty please?”

Even better, MKT breaks into our world and we hear another voice nearby.

“Am I too late for the party?”
Enter Palawa Joko, he and Thorn team up in a buddy villain comedy expansion.

I’m actually quite disappointed, If this is indeed the “big background project” they’ve been working for two years.
I’ve never been into the new lore of GW2, or PvE, however I always hoped that we’ll be returning to the other two continents by the time the first expansion rolls out, but, it’s quite obvious that this new thing confirms the opposite, it’s as if they’re avoiding GW1.
So, no thumbs up from me, but I’m hoping that this supposed expansion pack at least brings a new map and extremely needed WvW changes.

Did you play the update?
Because if you did I can’t really see how you could claim that they are avoiding GW1 with a straight face.

Also going to other continents at this time wouldn’t really make any sense, seeing as there are still a rather large amounts of Dragons (the main enemy of the game) active in Tyria.

My heart says its an expansion, but then my brains says: "why is it the same storyline as living story? I was hoping an expansion would be a different plot/story. but I guess I cant judge right now.

BTW, anyone else notice the Mursaat in the trailer? Or the two handed land spear?

Also, the original GW2 logo, the 2 is shaped like a normal dragon, and in this, its very snake like; suggesting that that might be the biology of mordremoth???

Pick up a bucket then because it looks like we’re sticking to that for a while. :P

The way I see it is, whatever is being announced on the 24th couldn’t possibly be released in less than a few months after that. Until that happens, I suppose we have to wait. So in LS2 we have been playing what now feels like a 6 month long trailer to a big update. Even the final cutscene was essentially a trailer. I was expecting something different.

I am very excited for what is to come, but I am very disappointed at how the ending of this season of the living story was handled. They have opened stories on so many fronts and concluded very little of it with the season finale.
