Guild Wars 2

Amazing cinematic Anet. The music, imagery was beautiful. Keep up the great work!

At the end of the cinematic (when the green orb has taken the pale tree) and the camera zooms in right at the center, it feels like, and looks very much like, the eye of the dragon is staring at you. the growl also adds up to it, IIRC the description of Kralkatorrik’s eye when the Destiny’s Edge were mind-fighting them in the novel was pretty much similar to this, big and scary. I think this is why our character said she saw a dragon, it doesn’t have to be a whole 3D model version of the dragon you know.

However, I’m still confused about the order of the orbs when they lgihted up. the first two were primordus and jormag which is the same order as they awaken, the rest messed up a little…

Charak.9761:

You can see that the green orb (morde) fuses with the center at the end there

so does it become veku or vegito ..
{see attachment}
yep, that’s officially creepy

Donari.5237:

The line that came to mind was …

MY GOD. IT’S FULL OF STARS.

I have to do this all again on all my alts to see that (curses at the Ft. Salma part, ’twill be a stumbling block).

Ah you too, glad to see that.
One of my family members was watching it out of partial interest and asked what was going on in the game.

The best I could sum up was “Oh I just finally stared into space, time, everything, and now I’m either the Starchild or Bad Wolf. I don’t know which.”

This has to be Anets favorite thread with all the great ideas. So much awesome here.

Malemort.9083:

Hi everyone.
I am sceptical concerning the theory that each sphere surrounding the main one is representing a dragon. According to the wiki, the dragons awoke in this order:

Primordius (which can be the red sphere)
Jormag (which can be the white sphere, or perhaps the blue one)
Zhaitan (the grey and yellow one)
The deep sea dragon (certainly the blue one)
Kralkatorrik (the purple one)
Mordremoth (the green one).

But, the order of the “awakening” of the sphere (if we consider each colour as being correct) is not the order of the awakening of the dragons.

Maybe it does concern the awakening of dragon’s champions, but i’m not aware of the order of them.

Maybe it is the Order which the Elder Dragons were created.

I always had this hypothesis that originally all Elder Dragons were originally one Dragon (Which I call the Mother Dragon due to being the original)

I assumed that each orb represented a dragon, but when my character flat out said “I saw a dragon,” I was like… huh????

Watched it on youtube again and still don’t see it… maybe I’m just blind?

you’re not blind, you had exactly the same reaction I had. At first I thought “kitten how did I miss seeing the dragon!” but then I watched it on youtube about 4 more times and realised there was no dragon, just an orb representing a dragon.

Of course most people understand that’s what the orbs mean, I do as well. But seeing a orb representing a dragon is not seeing a dragon. My character lied to the others. “I saw the dragon!!” no you didn’t you saw an orb representing a dragon.

you see his eye, though…

Great job on this segment closing video. On the voices:

1: random whispering sound
2: Scarlet saying " I saw it… in my mind"
3: another voice (pale tree?) “don’t question it, why all most fight it together”

there might have been more but that is all I registered. (turned up my sound to hear this clearly)

Watching the cinematic got me pimped up to replay it all over again.

This stuff needs to happen at the close over every LS chapter. It makes it feel… largely important to us. It certainly enveloped me.

About the cinematic: beautiful, eerie, like a large secret is out there.
Great job anet!

I prefer theory that sphere that charged/was pulled represented death of Zaithan. Heck, we killed Elder Dragon, something that never happened before, it must have some significance.
I still don’t understand why we see Pale Tree in the begging. We know that there are more than one Sylvari breading Trees, so what is so special in Pale One. Maybe it’s coincidence and tree like shape represents something else

Do you see how all of the six orbs get activated by a flashing blue line before they leave their place? I think these could be the leylines and what Scarlett did with em.

Zhaitan is the second dragon that awoke and the first to die. I think Its pretty save to say he’s represented by the orb that is being swallowed. But this would mean the reason why the pale tree and the sylvari are so keen to destroy the dragons is because they absorb a dragons power once he dies. What do you think?

The fact that charr, humans, asura and norn can see the dragon means, that our “Sylvari already carry mordremoths influence in them” Theory is wrong.

Pale Tree as shady anti hero looking for gain of power in wake of Dragons death? Cheesy as heck and 100% improbable, but count me in

Jormag was second to awaken, not Zhaitan.

Here’s the ending cinematic with voiceovers

Mikuchan.7261:

I want a way to rewatch the cutscene!
It doesn’t seem like you can do that through the journal?

Cynz.9437:

i wish you could watch cinematics again in game

You can watch it again if you play through the whole chapter again. There was an issue where the green star wouldn’t progress last chapter, but it worked for me this time around.

Choose to replay the chapter from your story journal. When it tells you to check your mail, you won’t get a new one, just open the mail tab anyway. (I didn’t delete the mail from the first time, so I’m not sure if having it is a requirement.) The green star will move to the first story instance, and will update each time a segment is completed. You have to do everything in order this way, as I believe only the instances with achievements use the purple stars.

Be sure to take screen shots during the cinematic this time around!

THANKS TO ANET!!!! I figured out the first voice says “The pale tree sees all”

The pale tree sees all, i see it!!, i saw it!!!! I see her mind!!!!! Do not question the dream, we must all play our parts

onemantankwall.3641:

I concur.
It took me a few times through, but that’s what I hear as well.
This would seem to indicate that what our character’s saw was a ‘recording’ of what Scarlet saw when she went through the machine.
