I think its about time for the city to get a brand new name

after its first destruction, the city did discard its weak land-mammal theme after all

its extremely confusing to us players and NPCs that out most popular city is called Lion’s Arch when there’s no lions anywhere

Lions don’t even exist in the the Continent

also please don’t forget to change “Lion Guards” to the proper “Lobster Guards” and bless them with cool Lobster looking armor instead (Pincers and spikes)

Life blast should hit twice and have its damage halfed
If Rocket Charge is only 2 leaps then it should look like 2 leaps
True Shot should be cast on the move

I’d rather stick to nostalgia and retain the name Lion’s Arch.

New York didn’t change its name to “Not so new anymore York” either. (<— Joke ^^)

Also there still is at least 1 giant Lion Statue in plain sight.
And although lions themselves aren’t native to Central Tyria, they are to other continents such as Elona which has seen a lot of trade with Central Tyria through the port of LA.
Lions are often used in names, emblems or other heraldry because:
" It traditionally symbolises bravery, nobility, royalty, strength, stateliness, and valour, because historically it has been regarded as the king of beasts." – Wikipedia.

However if anything it should be renamed to “Lagbourough”.

I think they should paint the lobster bright red and rename the city “Red Lobster.”

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Wouldn’t want to risk trademark infringement. How about Crimson Crustacean instead?

I foresee problems with that. It would inevitably be called CC, and then in boss fights when map chat is yelling ‘cc him,’ people would be saying “whut? I don’t have any Crimson Crustacean skills.” And then the event fails.

How about “Dead Lobster?”

You’re right. Geez, naming a fictitious city is harder than it looks.

Lobster’s Arch sounds a bit rude…

It’s concrete+lobster shaped = Rock Lobster, where everybody has matching towels.

It is kind of weird. Lion’s arch would be fine if the new theme wasn’t explicitly linked to marine life instead of terrestrial life.

LA has always been a harbor city. So the sea aspect is fitting… The SeaWorld aspect isn’t…

I don’t get the seaworld theme, either. I like that it’s not "Boat town, city of boats’ anymore, and it’s a majestic jewel of a city instead of a dingy garbage heap (Not fitting for capitol of the world)… but now it’s too flat, and there’s a STUPID CONCRETE LOBSTER in the middle.

And a traumatized tour guide.

Just wait until the Tour Guide’s grief becomes too much and she’ll single-handedly destroy it.

But it was once New Amsterdam.

Why they changed it, I can’t say.

People just liked it better that way.

Threads like this make me wonder if ANet could just mine the forums for several years worth of future April Fool’s day content ideas…

4/1/2017 patch notes:
- Lion’s Arch renamed to Lobster’s Arch.
- While in Lobster’s Arch, all characters are transformed into crustaceans.
- Join the special “Lobster Leap” at the top of Phoenix Roost where you can win a special prize by landing in the boiling pot or the bucket of butter.
