Guild Wars 2

“Not sure what you’re getting at. I can see that the white is the lines from the Chantry of Secrets globe, which is a “threat assessment” board – not related to magic (though odd that it doesn’t highlight Orr, Dragonbrand, or Far Shiverpeaks – and interesting that the Isles of Janthir gets a big o’ blot).”

I know what the board represents, however non of those spots show as threats anywhere in the game. I’ve not found any sort of ley line diagram, but you’d think the threat indicator would at least line up with the dragons.

The map itself has always befuddled me geographically. I get the shiverpeaks are supposed to be high up, but they certainly don’t feel that way in the game.

My point is that i have a real hard time with things that point to whatever lore they might indicate, in as much as the info just isn’t very consistent. Meaning, we are tossing darts and a moving target. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if tomorrows reveal was entirely lore breaking and disconnected to anything we think we know.

Might want to delete that line that actually talks about the spoilers, you know, just in case people don’t like being spoiled.

I don’t think we even have confirmation that the so-called “spoilers” are even accurate, do we? Nor can stuff from the gw.dat be taken as canon as not all of it gets released.

But I put a spoiler tag about them.

I got a 3 day time out just for saying there were spoilers somewhere on the interwebs.

Speaking about all this. I wonder if we’ll get a live stream of the update, or if they will keep it hush hush, till tomorrow.

This is my theory. First of all Why would Mordremoth be (A) underground? or (B) Lion’s Arch. From what I’ve heard, the elder dragons are territorial and If Mordremoth was sleeping anywhere, it would be Maguuma. Kralk is in the Crystal Desert, Jormag is in the northern Shiverpeaks, leaving us with the Primordis, the VOLCANIC Dragon, in which could be ANYWHERE UNDERGROUND. Plus if you know your lore, destroyers have been popping out in the Dominion of Winds (aka right next door) so i think scarlet wants to release a magma chamber full of destroyers in which primordis and the stone dwarves could be. Remember? in GW1… there were caves under LA that Dwarves occupied…..

Sorry just done with Mordremoth being under LA, doesn’t make sense.

I’ve heard it said quite a bit that Primordus is far more likely to be beneath Lion’s Arch than Mordremoth – this only makes sense if the fact that Primordus is the dragon of the depths if that’s literally the only thing you take into consideration. Scarlet drilling into the earth for two weeks wouldn’t make much sense since Primordus could just, you know, move somewhere else (unlike a slumbering dragon). Not to mention the fact that the entity, generally presumed to be Mordremoth, is an aspect of the sylvari Dream, which Primordus is anything but.

I still say she’s taping into the power, more than trying to dig up a dragon.

Maybe the dragon minions were only corrupted multiple times in CoE with great difficulty, and this usually doesn’t happen (if it did, we’d see dragon minion hybrids wherever the spheres of influence of two dragons overlap – and who’d be in charge? If that happened I’d probably expect the poor corrupted creature to just, well, die).

We never actually see dragon minions overlap though – beyond CoE, that is. That’s the most peculiar part of it. We’re also told they fight if they meet, yet we see no meeting. As for what’s in charge. It really seems that Subject Alpha is just rampaging about, able to control all dragon minions (hence why they don’t fight each other), but at the same time we never see it interacting with the other three powerful dragon minions in CoE. It may be that they simply go insane from all the different commands exhibited.

I’m not certain Subject Alpha is a good case study for cross-corrupted behavior. A crucial part of the Inquest’s experiments was to bring the created dragon minions under their own control, and Kudu believed that he had done just that with his undead giant (unfortunately, we kill the beast too quickly to know rather that claim was validated). Logically, long-term control (as opposed to the devices Inquest handlers utilized in Sorrow’s Embrace and Arah, which are nowhere in evidence within the Crucible) would require either suppressing or breaking the link the dragons use to convey orders. It’s quite possible that Subject Alpha underwent an imperfect version of this process, and while it clearly wasn’t enough to bring it entirely under Kudu’s control, there is reasonable reason to doubt rather Alpha was (is?) capable of properly receiving the directives of the dragons.

Hmmm.. interesting theory. But: if she hits deep enough to push through to the Depths of Tyria, she would flood the entire underground network. (potentially exterminating the majority of the destroyers and ‘watering’ Primordus out from his cover – and basically put the water level down like 20 meters all over the world).

That just ain’t gonna happen. Ley Lines is all there is and ever was…

True, but it is also the only example we have. Any future example would supersede Subject Alpha’s antics. Then again, we never truly kill Subject Alpha (no matter the path, a couple of the “Alpha’s Essence”es escapes).
