Guild Wars 2

Discuss!

The first loading screen looks like Lion’s Arch during GW2’s first birthday!
The second loading screen is anybody’s guess.
The sPvP map is most likely Skyhammer.

well first one is obviously dragon bash

other ones I don’t know

I was thinking Dragon Bash for the first one but I haven’t seen it in-game.

The first one is Dragon Bash, it’s used on their Game Updates page.

Can’t find the image anywhere. Also, it doesn’t look like LA currently looks for DB. Can you possibly link me to the game update post?

1. dragon bash
2. sky pirates
3. crystal desert themed spvp map?

2. sky pirates

How do you figure?

actually, 2 reminds me of my main character whom is also a female asuran with the CM helm (and probably the only person using the CM helm in the ENTIRETY of Ehmry Bay server)

hmmm just a wild guess.
cos the big thing in the sky could be a sky fortress or something.

2 is most likely the new pvp map “Skyhammer” screen.

Yeah 3 is the Skyhammer PvP map that was mined from the .dat, and the 2nd one is possibly the loading screen for it. However judging by the style of the art I wouldn’t think they would use it. It doesn’t quite match with the predominant art style used in game.

1) NOT Dragonbash. Has no teeth, instead lanterns. City is also covered with balloons instead of dragon-kites. This seems to be a carnival themed event outside dragon bash. Also, notice the center shows a man on a horse fighting a lizard of some kind, could be a dragon but could be something else. (Any source for this “loading screen”?)

2) Looks related to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wizard%27s_Tower more than anything. I see no artistic indication that it’s related to the Aetherblades or current events (no Inquest reds, no Steampunk armor on either, and no white lightning). Again, this’ll need source and related questions to be answered first.

3) This one looks more legit than the other two and as mentioned above is looking to be the Skyhammer sPvP map that was data mined over a month ago.

First one could be OLD lions arch before Mystic Forge was invented, it came in second beta i think so. Also look at this pic, this is before lions arch got a buff and some changes were made http://www.guildmag.com/wp-content/uploads/Lions-Arch-03.jpg

Second one could ne Ascalon of the mists, look at thing floating between those guys, it seems to be a part of wall if you look closely to the curve of its part https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcToBiuZFkKdTV6MO8vGnTpegc7bkUl9DqxQIJaY1OsndC3UONcx

Third one, ground is more dirty or has yellow grass, it could be ascalon or maguuma

UPDATE: I posted this on Reddit and people seem to think that the first loading screen is that for Lion’s Arch during GW2’s first birthday!

If so, that’s pretty neat!
