Guild Wars 2

i was researching lore the past few days and then i come onto this thread and after glancing through this page i just feel ill stricken.. you should all be so very proud of yourselves.. and i hope arenanet has the decency to delete nearly all of this thread
 

Thank you for saying that. I know this looks a bit like the whining we get used to on the forums but I made this post not with the purpose of that. I was expressing my feelings after I watched the trailer. I didnt blame ArenaNet for going the wrong way with the story. I am way to early with making an opinion here and I know that, but once in a while the lore people have to stand up for themselves. I get that lore might not be top priority in the game, but I must say that if the Living Story wasnt there I would not have been playing this game anymore and that makes it important enough for me. Developers say that whining about the game doesnt help and I know it is hard for them to read all the bullkitten (that I am part of this time) and whining, while they do their best to make the game good. I tried to make the original post not too negative and not blameful. So far I think we have been succeeding at it I think, while some express themselves diffirent or lack the words to say it in a good way. I did not only want to discuss the confusion. As you can see this post developed into another speculation thread and thats what I love about the Living World and this Lore-forum community. I have put the feelings I had aside too and started loking at the Steam Creatures in Lornar’s Pass again, because I am still intrigued by them. I am glad if the first half of the post is deleted because that would mean the developers have read it and that would mean it has served its purpose. I dont want to make people have a negative feeling about the Living World because I made this post. I hope I have expressed myself clearly enough now as I might lack the words to describe my thoughts too.

i’m also curious about the steam creatures / steam portals
i have nothing against your post, it’s just on page 2 people were making real world references about certain nations and violence and politics and it made me literally ill

Person, truth be told. Only CHIPS was making relations to rl – which he does all the time, and rather falsely imo. The others, myself included, were trying to point out how such relations.

Watchknights, killing 10000 humans for every 1 human it protects. Great success!

That’s why Queen Jeenah should abdicate her throne. Her “gift to humanity” failed big time. She cannot run this nation.

She may have better luck as a mesmer fighting for the Pact.

An evil psycho maniac stealing your creation doesn’t make YOU a bad ruler… You seem to be implying that had someone else been ruling then they would have been able to stop Scarlet, but that isn’t likely to be the case.

Her gift to humanity did not fail, she has created a really effective protector, it’s just unfortunately been hijacked – but that doesn’t mean that once Scarlet has been dealt with the Watchknights can’t be put to their planned use.

And in fact her actions and the actions of those she keeps around her in RESPONSE to Scarlets actions prove that she is a more than capable leader.

It would be funny if the crowned pavilion comes back permently after scarlet is dead. That should be one reason we want to kill her

People have been curious about those since day one. There hasn’t been an answer for exactly what they’re doing in Lornar’s Pass yet, nor how Scarlet knows about them and can control them.

There’s one Personal Story segment for asura which uses them, implies they are from an alternate potential future, or potential alternate reality . . . and it’s implied also after the end of that segment they won’t be a problem again.

So, something’s incomplete in that. Wonder what’s up.
