Guild Wars 2

Now that Lion’s Arch has been rebuilt in a more contemporary style, I find myself regretting that I never really took time to appreciate the old Lion’s Arch, pre-Scarlet. I missed out on a lot of really beautiful screenshots.

I’m wondering if people would like to share their screenshots of pre-Scarlet LA, as the only ones I have are just from the personal story instance, and thus limited and faded in color. I’ll share them nonetheless.

I prefer the Old Lion’s Arch to the new version.

I thought this was going to be about LA in GW1, now I loved that place. Would be cool to see that place in GW2 in a fractal or something.

On topic. I like the new LA over pre cabbage. It just looked a mess, I know that was kind of the point, but it felt more like a ship grave years than a city, and the people living there scavengers. New LA feels like a city of commerce. And run by pirates. Cannons everywhere. No one is taking there loot!

I like the new one because it looks like a city. In the battle of LA period, I remember hearing a big number for LA population (I forget it exactly now), but some people responded with a simple line.
“where did they live?” old GW2 LA simply didn’t have much in terms of mass housing. Not to mention it was basically defenseless :P.

The original LA in GW2 felt like the origin, a rough town built out of crashed ships, and less of what it actually was, which is a free city and a massive trade center.

They could always do the Battle of LA in a fractal, but that means they’d have to make models for mursaat, jade constructs, white mantle, and pretty much every NPC since the neo-Krytans all look like Ascalonians.

We might have Mursaat in HoT, so they might have done them already. And if they are in HoT, it would be a great time to do a Battle of LA fractal.
