The Orr before and more...
At the end of the mursaat path of the Arah dungeon, the walls are pristine, golden-like and look quite new. In the very least it doesnt look like it has been sunk at all. This could be because of the Mursaat technology in there that was used to phase the users out of this world (the final boss of that dungeon is centered on the idea)
Its nothing big, sadly its just a circular wall like any other. But it looks new. Might be the glimpse you are looking for.
Ah, honestly I don’t think I’ve run that path yet. I’ll definitely check that out, and appreciate the response! Even a small glimpse would be nice. I often think about that massive golden tower and wonder just how much we aren’t seeing. Seems there is still an awful lot to discover in that place, and it’s a shame. Orr has so much to offer. I think the artistry of desolation and hopelessness coupled with the hoard of challenging undead repel was too effective. Not a lot of people say “Oooo, let’s go to Orr!” That’s the way it should be as a world, but as a game it’s counter productive.
I agree. For Roleplayers, character arcs usually go toward Orr one way or another as the place of ultimate challenge and the source of lost historical background of something in their story.
Hopefully someday we will get access to the rest of the orrian peninsula.
Some of those buildings do look like ruined skyscrapers. A lot if the time in Orr it seems like you are climbing around the ruins of buildings made for giants. The temples, monuments, buildings, statues etc in Orr were certainly big.
I imagine it as a cross between Rome and Washington DC.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always enjoyed the post-apoc scene, and Anet really took the time to name the various locations, villages, cityscapes, districts, etc. I often try to imagine what took place in those locations before the sundering. Much like Pompeii or Hiroshima, what were the last days of Orr to its people. I imagine that alone could fill a series of books. I’d settle for a few excerpts though
If we are lucky and the game survives that long, maybe someday we will get a fractal similar to the urban battle but with Orr. There is literally nothing Anet couldnt put into a fractal.
what if they made a fractal path based in “pre-destroyed” orr?
would love to see that
and sometimes even a decent human being

Personally I think the actuality will not live up to players imagination.
It’s possible that would have been the Abaddon fractal. Still annoyed that they put so many people in the position of having to choose between their preferred candidate and their preferred fractal – regardless of whether that was Kiel/Abaddon or Evon/Thaumanova.
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.
