Guild Wars 2

I believe we are getting Dwarves as a playable race. Primordus as the next dragon. Depths of Tyria as the new zone.

How I came to these conclusions…

“Chaos Gloves are a prestige glove art available in the Eye of the North expansion.”

“The main story involves the Dwarves and introduces the Destroyers, Asura, the Norn and the Ebon Vanguard, and concludes with the battle against the Great Destroyer.”

“The Destroyers are fiery, mindless creatures who are controlled through a hive-like mind by the Great Destroyer. Dwarven legends say that they are the heralds of the Great Destroyer and that their purpose is to clear Tyria of all life in order to prepare for their master’s final arrival. Although it was originally believed that the Great Destroyer is their master, they are ultimately subjects of the Elder Dragon Primordus.”

“Depths of Tyria

An immense interconnected underground complex of natural caves and excavated areas underneath Tyria."

“Guild Wars Eye of the North can be abbreviated as GWEN, which is an assumed intentional allusion to the pre-Searing character Gwen.”

“During the Krytan civil war, Captain Langmar was killed and Keiran was reported as missing in action, leaving a distraught Gwen in command of the Ebon Vanguard.”

“The Krytan civil war lasted from 1072 AE until 1079 AE between the White Mantle and the Shining Blade.”

It all makes sense

Prepare yourselves for the second coming!

Except Anet said that they turned the dwarves into a stone hivemind so that Guild Wars 2 didn’t have such a generic playable race. It wouldn’t be the first time they’ve gone back on an early decision that’s reflected in the game… but I just don’t see it happening. I don’t see how you’ve even come to this conclusion to be honest, the things you’ve listed are just as likely to lead to Gwen-chans being the next playable race.

Dwarves would be cool, different shading on stone as skin colour would be a nice feature, unless they somehow make them fleshy again.

I’m definitely thinking that Anet need to release a new race as a hype generator for the next expansion since HoT left a fair few people feeling disappointed and it would certainly increase their character slot sales for altaholics like myself.

Pretty certain we wont ever get a new race in the lifespan of GW2. They seemed pretty unkeen on the idea last time it was raised. Since Dwarves seem to be confined to the depths, having PC dwarves running around maguuma and boss events across Tyria all of a sudden would be quite immersion breaking for lore enthusiasts.

Pretty sure Gwen’s outfit and Chaos Gloves are in GW2 simply because they were popular elements of GW1. I wouldn’t read anything bigger into it.

Nothing is ever set in stone. The devs left themselves many plausible options to bring Dwarves back my friend.

Edit- Generic? How dare you say generic! Those “generic” Dwarves are the oldest known race on Tyria! If it wasn’t for the “generic” Dwarves we wouldn’t even have GW2 because Primordus would have wiped everything out! Better thank those “generic” Dwarves buddy!

Better brush up on things…
