Something Is Wrong.
NO Time for questions we have to get the next patch out in 2 weeks!!! GO GO GO!!!
The next patch is supposed to be SAB, so no end to Scarlet, or Queen J. just wnted to tell us that SAB will open again?
This is such a confusion, ppl are expecting Queen J. to say something importante and then this crazy salad appears and screw up the party…
This is the essence of what Guild Wars 2 has become. I can’t believe people are still BLIND to it.
Content updates are sub-par, unfinished, rushed, lacking flavor and polish, forgettable, meaningless, AND ARENA NET KNOWS IT.
How long is Arena Net going to blow off their fans by saying, “Guys seriously, it’s all going to come together, believe us!” Show us proof. Why should we wait around, waiting to see how all the temporary content ‘comes together’ when it’s been nearly a YEAR since the first one (Karka event) and still NONE of it makes sense, NO questions have been answered, NO mysteries have been solved.
Arena Net is lying to us because they know people are dumb enough to believe them.
How can the fanboys be so BLIND to this?

I was kind of ok with this till the aetherblades first showed up. They make no sense at all. A completely unknown pirate faction shows up out of nowhere to try and gain themselves a seat on the captain’s council….for what purpose?
And how does a huge group of pirates with advanced technology and a seemingly endless fleet of Pact airships exist without everyone knowing about it?
I don’t recall any of the NPCs during their initial appearance even being surprised or questioning the unknown attackers. It’s like they all knew already, but forgot to act surprised for us.
And now they are somehow linked with Scarlet? ….who also came out of nowhere, despite her previous actions that should have made her a major concern for the Asurans. And she is also somehow in charge of the steam creatures that are already explained in one of the asura storylines (Infinity Ball) and are absolutely not related to Scarlet at all. And to top this off, she’s also managed to resurrect the defeated Molten Alliance and bend them to her will.
I won’t be the least bit surprised if she ends up controlling the 8—bit SAB creaters next month, or shows up at Divinity’s Reach riding Zhaitan as her mount.
There was some continuity early on, though. The Molten Alliance leading to refugees in Southsun, which were exploited by the Consortium. The 2nd karka invasion is plausible enough, because we only took out one hive which was likely not the only one. Skip past the Dragon Bash/Pirate mess, and we end up with an election and the Zephyrites. Kiel has made a name for herself and makes sense for being a candidate. The Zephyrites are a bit out of nowhere, but their own backstory supports this, as they were likely in the sealed-off Crystal Desert where no one would have seen them.
Even the content of the Bazaar event was more interesting in my opinion. The jump puzzle-ish hunt for crystals was one of the best bits of temp content that has been added.

I’m sorry OP, are you suggesting that Scarlet has the ability to take over watchknights, but she’s completely mystified in how to take over Steam Mechs?
According to the short story on the Guild Wars 2 page, Scarlet was always a bit “selfish” but it was after an Asuran experiment gone wrong that she became what she is today.
Sounds like a topic for the lore forum.

She had relatively easy access to the Watchknights. They were built in or near Divinity’s Reach, and it’s possible she was even involved in their design/construction since no one seems to have any knowledge of her antics with the Asuran colleges. Even if she didn’t have this level of access, they are still much more accessible than the steam creatures.
Steam creatures are from an alternate timeline/the future, so it’s much less likely that she had access to them during construction. They are also limited in their appearances via the steam portals, and hostile to everyone in our timeline. I could maybe accept her having access to a limited number of them, but not the summoned-at-will hordes that pour out of her portals.

On another topic is Scarlet even from the pale tree, she looks different, acts different to most Sylvari and is not Nightmare Court, to me which made me think of Malyck in a Sylvari personal story, could she be from his tree instead?
