Guild Wars 2

German site buffed.de “ArenaNet will launch a new site tomorrow that will reveal some secrets of GW2” which is today.

Please ArenaNet, can this be something that you post ON YOUR OWN WEBSITE FIRST before you decide to talk to press?

It is supposed to launch on GuildWars2.com at 6 a.m. ArenaNet-time (PST) for those that are interested. Sounds intriguing to me. =)

Apparently in 30 minutes.

Yep.

Could it just be a translation error? The new site could be a new preview page.

Most likely, I don’t deny that.

maybe they will announce GW3? with GvG, HA, guild halls, pve endgame, hardmode?
let me dream….

It’s live!

should be popping out any time now…

edit: It is a map, so far it hasnt revealed me anything ‘secrey’ of LA. lets see, maybe it is so secret that I dont even know

Well that was underwhelming. Guild Wars Google Maps.

Pretty much. Nothing secret so far either, except, maybe that picture of the marionette in Lion’s Arch.

Many of these ’’Scarlet’s drill’’ things though.

Seeing the Assault Knight roaming Lion’s Arch is neat, but I’m not finding any secrets. Maybe they’re time-gated? I’ll check back later.

I’m guessing Scarlet’s drill is going to be an instanced dungeon or something, where we can face off with Scarlet, or some other boss…

She’s most likely going to drill right into Primordus’ back and tick him off something fierce. And then we have LS season 2. Which will include…

All new items in the gem store
No New Zones
No New Classes
Or Skills
Or Traits
Nothing Permanent
Only minor changes to existing zones
EPICNESS

“Aetherblade sky pirates raided the countryside at Scarlet’s command during the catastrophic Lion’s Arch campaign.”

Maybe the destruction will spread out to the nearby zones of Lion’s Arch?

I’ve got 8/9 unlocked now, but can’t seem to find the last unlock. Hrm…

Yeah, this is new. I’ve never actually seen the assault knight in-game thus far, and I’ve done LA’s event about a hundred times. Is it there or is this new stuff?

It only appears if you save citizens.

So save a lot of citizens!

cough cough

Battle for Lion’s Arch is likely the next Living Story’s update name. That Assault Knight is pictured for said update.

I’m looking to find the last unlock I need to see if anything happens when everything is unlocked.

Can you post coordinates of the unlocks?? I can’t find any other than the 6 in Lion’s Arch

After clicking the Assault Knight image, you are sent to this page with the coordinates: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/feature/8257

neither can I :/

The site is poorly designed for mobile… Ill have to wait till I get home to take a look

This would be more appropriate if I hadn’t already been leading the troops to 1200+ in every single event I’ve run for the past two days. :P

So diid anyone get the last one?

GodSaw.2675:

So diid anyone get the last one?

nope not yet… start searching map by map?

how do you discover the hidden ones? I got the first 2 by typing in the coordinates on MMORPG, but I don’t know how to reveal them otherwise.

Looks like it’s bugged or we’ll have to wait until later to unlock it. I’d like to think something happens when we get 9/9 unlocks. :P

They’ll probably give us the 9th on the preview page for the final LS. That or we get it somehow in-game and put it in and find out supah’ sekrit spoilah’.

Save more!

Some elements seem to be audio files. Has anyone managed to do anything with them? For me they do nothing besides showing the “play” button.

Oh, good. It’s just not me at 8/9. I was disappointed that all the other unlocks for other maps were already done before I even got there, though. =(

^When I click on the play button for the audio files, they play an audio clip. Not sure why yours doesn’t.

Yeah, I can’t get the audio to play, if there is any.

Thanks, that is 9/9 now. If only that file would play…

I was hoping for like, a parade in my honour when I got 9/9

Cool, thanks, Logan. =)

Sounds like a bomb, or something. Lol.

Some kind of machine (airship?) falls from the sky and crashes, you can also hear a norn and charr fighting in the background.

OMG its a sound of a drago... vacuum cleaner

It sounds like there is a voice saying something at the beginning there… can anyone make it out?

Kinda sounds like the drill hit something to me :P

Mine plays. Its quite, but sounds like fighting/roars then and explosion/something impacting kicking up rocks/debris. possibly something said during it, or I’m just hearing things. Its only 7 seconds.

Or that…

Thanks. managed to get it to play in chrome (Firefox blocks it out for some reason).
Now, however, i see a different problem – the unlocks seem to be cookie-based, not login based. Which means i’ll need to repeat clicking on them on all computers/browsers i am using.
Bad design there.

I’m using Firefox, and the audio and video play just fine, for me.
