Guild Wars 2

Is the facility located above or below the Infinity coil reactor? Whats a lake doing in the middle of it? I swam to the bottom of the lake and saw some rubble and it seems to me that CoE is underground.

Anyways just finished CoE story. It reminded me of why I liked this game: the story (The dungeon story atleast. Remember that AC intro video?) A good closing to zojja’s quest to restore honor to snaff? Please keep the awesome story coming, Anet.

I just want to take a moment to look at WoW. Before WoW there was Warcraft 3. The story in it was awesome. It was like reading a novel. No unnecessary fillers or pointless diversions. Then came WoW. It had so much additional crap. e.g you wouldn’t be part of any original plot until you were high level. Gw2 does a much better job of making an mmo out of the Gw1 storyline and I hope they keep building an awesome story.

People might complain about progression and playability beyond a few months. But if there is something I will do, it is to play the kitten out of expansions, because I know it will continue the story. In future when we are at the third expansion maybe, I know new players won’t stop after buying the first Gw2 just because they would want to know what happens next.

The CoE itself is the underground laboratory while infinity coil is the base above it.

Any source for this info?

well….no.Just think logically.

I am not sure that its underground because someone told me its not but above and would not cite source either :S

I believe there is an npc standing outside the dungeon entrance who states that the Crucible of Eternity is located directly under the Infinite Coil Reactor, though I could be wrong. It is underground though, that much is certain.

I also recall an NPC mentioning that the CoE is the “heart of the Infinite Coil Reactor” = which would imply underground (iirc, its the same NPC who explains that said Infinite Coil Reactor was built as a replacement for the Thaumanova Reactor that blew up in Metrica Province).

If I remember correctly, the explorable path where you fight your way to the front door has you fighting your way up from lower floors, implying that the facility is underneath the reactor.

Well the “front door” is actually an asura gate, so that’s not really saying much.

But I do believe the sky above the Infinite Coil Reactor is clear so…

…and there is some broken opening at the center of the lake…

Considering you can leave the place by a submarine (which brakes through a wall), the thing can’t be in the sky, that much is clear.

Now this get confusing. If its underground, why a submarine???

Why not? It’s underground. Perhaps the submarine was an alternate means to enter and exit the facility in the event of an emergency.

I think the submarine belongs to the pact or OoW. Besides that, the Infinity Coil Reactor is right next to the Mire Sea, so if the CoE is underground it could easily connect to the sea.

The submarine is indeed used by the Pact (its origin lies in the charr – you can see the prototype, the Iron Barracuda iirc, in Plains of Ashford on the western shores of Ascalon Basin).
