Guild Wars 2

Will that_shaman finally add in the rest of the newer maps, such as GW2’s dry top and Gw2’s Silverwastes on his Gw 1 maps over laid on GW 2 maps? I want to see that end result, especially with Heart of Thorns arriving soon.

He already did, a long time ago. I think this is the most recent version of his map: http://thatshaman.blogspot.nl/p/historical-guide.html

That is pretty cool, and there seems to be an alternate entrance to DR going NE out of it into that unused map!

One thing I find interesting, and possibly a little sad, is just how much smaller Tyria feels. Part of it is probably that GW1 simply was not good at showing how much land a typical village took up (particularly when adding farms and so on) but in GW1, Shaemoor to Loamhurst was quite a decent hike, definitely feeling like you had travelled to the next village. In GW2… it’s basically just moving from the outer suburb of Divinity’s Reach to the inner farmlands.

It’s also interesting how close to the Maguuma Bloodstone is to Verdant Brink. Be interesting to see if that plays a role… or gets a mention.

Agreed so much.

Based on that proximity and based on the raid trailer, people speculate that the raid takes place on/near the bloodstone. Regardless, I would be quite suprised and disappointed if the bloodstone is not a part of HoT.

While I understand the speculation on the raid being around the Bloodstone, for some reason one of the image trailers – the one with three colored crystals – reminds me of the Aurora Glade mission, particularly the attunement portion to allow access to the Henge of Denravi. I know that part of that mission (including the Henge itself) is in Brisban, but that platform reminds me of that rather than anything in that cinematic/images reminding me of Bloodstone Fen.
