Guild Wars 2

WOOO!!! October 22nd comes Halloween event a new area in Tyria to explore. What wonderful Lore do you think will be hidden in these new events, jumping puzzles, bosses, mini-dungeons, and achievements?

I hope it’s gonna be more of the creepy stuff, like maybe we get to learn Caithe’s story with Faolain.

Hmm new area??? where you readed that?

New area… No big deal just 5 more skill points 20 more points of interest a few hearts and some vistas. Just like every other map

But did you readed that or you think ?

I only read that tyria would be changed with decorations not that there would be more explorable map. And that there would be new mini-games, but yeah, nothing about new explorable content.

very bottom of the post they just added today about the up coming content in the “Tyria Evolving” section. Right under the section about tournaments.

I’m hoping they address what happened to the underworld and what not. Though the gods left tyria, surely the afterlife outside of the mists exists.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Underworld return either.

What would be REALLY cool is if it had the same layout as in GW1.

We need a realm of Lyssa. A place of illusion and madness. A land of chaos and conflict, that upon closer inspection, reveals a split personality using you as the inspiration to play against your own senses.

But… don’t we already know this? If I recall correctly, we’re told that the nightmare first touched Faolain when the two visited Orr (when Caithe witnessed Zhaitan, I’m guessing). When Cadeyrn established the Nightmare Court, he brought Faolain fully into the nightmare and, in turn, Faolain has been trying to turn Caithe to the nightmare ever since (as shown in Edge of Destiny and Twilight Arbor).

Except that it doesn’t mention new zones (to use wiki terminology). Just jumping puzzles, events, and the like.

In other words, we’ll be getting extensions to the existing zones, by what we’re told.

@Red

the 3rd artwork they shown about the area they plan to released for the event with a broken tower, broken stairs, and chaotic zone seems to be the thing you’re looking for.

@kong

I said new area in Tyria. I never said anything about a new explorable zone.

^ I read that as area not zone too.

And @konig…

We know a super simplified outsiders sliver of a complicated relationship between two troubled Sylvari, yes… but wouldn’t it be interesting to learn some specifics about the magic behind the Nightmare corruption?

That said I doubt that will be in the update. We’re going to get more bad jokes and maybe even a dose of Palawa.

Yeah I quoted the wrong person, meant to quote Faylinn. :P

@Quw: Learning of the source of the Nightmare is different from the story of Faolain and Caithe. :P

Get ready for Over floooooowww!! XD

I won’t be surprised about OverFlow.

Anet releasing a Special 4 Act Story which a lot of people will try to complete before the week ends.

Get this right ppl its not a new big area its just going to be a small area with stuff for the event and current zones are getting some new stuff.

The truth of it is, I don’t think any of us know what we’re getting, so this is all speculation. It could be new world content or it could be all instanced, and more like GW1 festival quests (a series of instances seems like one of the easier ways for them to do it). I would like to see some season-specific dynamic events, but that’s just a hope. We’ll have to wait and see!
