Guild Wars 2

Spoiler below……

Pass this line is the SPOILER Zone.

So a few references here and there in Zinn’s log and we learn a few interesting information that relate back to GW1 events.

Seems we learn that Joko was the one who tricked Zinn into creating ROX, NOX, and POX.

Palawa Joko being behind Zinn’s Golems allows ArenaNet to finish up all lose ends left by GW1 on the Continent of Tyria and Elona in one Expansion.

That would be a loose end from 250 years ago, it wouldn’t have much to do with the modern age.

It was aimed at Jennah’s predecessor, so not entirely irrelevant. But it might just be there to get chatter going about Joko, so people who didn’t play Nightfall are more clued in when we go to Elona, instead of just saying “who’s this guy?”.

Idon’t think we can rule out planning Joko to be the mystery client all along. There was a lot of chatter, before GW Beyond was canceled, that the next chapter would be centered on him and Elona.

it would be interesting if there are references to GW Beyond once we go to Elona involving NPCs mentioning people from GW1 time tried to send a Message to the GW1 Hero but the messenger could not make it and was killed by Joko’s forces in a attempting to escape Elona to deliver the message that would have sent the GW1 hero into GW Beyond thus providing a lore reason why GW Beyond was cancelled.

I really like this idea.

last time I checked the “canceled” product was codenamed “utopia”?

with GW Beyond being a colelctive name for all those “additional” storylines meant to lead up the GW into GW2? [War in Kryta, Keiran Thackeray x Gwen arc, don’t remember if there were more of it]

There were GW Beyond chapters for Cantha and Tyria, they were going to release a chapter for Elona as well but it was cancelled (separate from the cancelled expansion ‘utopia’.

There were three Beyond arcs finished (War in Kryta, Hearts of the North, and Winds of Change), and they had written out a third plot focused in Elona due to be made for 2013, but with GW2’s release they had canceled it and stopped everything beyond maintenance on GW1; there were also plans (from the very beginning) to do an Ascalon arc (focused on the founding of Ebonhawke) which put on hold for Hearts of the North and Winds of Change once the leadership of the GW1 Live Team had transferred from Linsey Murdock to John Stumme.

Utopia was a campaign that was canceled for production of Eye of the North and Guild Wars 2, long before Beyond was an idea in the developers’ minds.

Oh I see, I was unaware of the plans in regard to elonian/ascalonian arcs of GW: Beyond, thanks for correcting me
