Guild Wars 2

So I’ve played GW since Prophecies, right after it launched off and on and I just saw the globe based map of Tyria, the planet.

Between Elona and the mainland of Tyria we have been to maybe about 10% of the total landmass of the planet and even on Cantha, Shing Jea Island and the lands we discovered were a small part of the total landmass.

To get an idea of where everything is playable Tyria is right at the center of the map a bit to the left. Get an idea of what Orr looks like on the game map and you’ll see it sticking out next to the Ring of Fire islands. It’s amazing to see how SMALL what we’ve seen so far is.

Cantha is about a third of the way around the world to the southeast, if the compass on the game map is correct. It looks like the sea level actually dropped around Cantha, where Shing Jea is connected to the landmass now.

It baffles me how enormous the planet is. The story we’ve seen so far is a small fraction of what must be several games’ worth of land and sea to explore!

I’d like to see what any devs have to say about it, maybe a cryptic hint or something haha.

They sure did leave some room for expansions didn’t they? Lol

If the sea levels are going down, since Shing Jea does seem to be connected to the Canthan landmass now, does that mean that Tyria is experiencing global cooling? The water has to be going somewhere, and if the polar ice caps are expanding; it might explain it…

The name of Jormag’s expansion: Guild Wars 2: Winter Is Coming.

Hahaha introducing the playable hilarious Imp race with a wimpy and crazy king you get to slap repeatedly, making the bald man cry!

Seriously though, I think they’ll go for Jormag too because if you do Krakaltorrik you have to at least mention or even bring in Elona, which is more undead since Palawa Joko is in charge. There have been enough zombies for a while haha.

I don’t know about global cooling but there are regional changes. Lion’s Arch and Droknar’s Forge did get sunk by Zhaitan bringing an entire continent above water. It’s hard to imagine what would cause the sea level to shrink with Cantha being so far away and in the middle of nowhere.

For a Jormag xpac, I’d see the Far Shiverpeaks would be the setting, with the norn looking to get their homeland back, but with the Molten Alliance trying to get a foothold so that they can rule the north and have a base of operations to expand south. One of their outposts must reference Apatia in some way, I just had my heart ripped out by that storyline. Maybe Fort Apatia or something.

I really like the idea of the Molten Alliance – Flame Legion needs more juice to deal with the other legions, while the dredge want to destroy the Durmand Priory because of how they value the dwarves. The Living Story is going to have them kicked out, but not knocked out, and they could have a role as the second front against Jormag’s Icebrood.
