Between Southsun and the Ring of Fire, I personally prefer the latter.

I’m not completely clear on GW1 lore, but wasn’t that where the 1st bloodstone was located? Was it destroyed during Prophecies?

There’s one in Straits of Devastation, Bloodstone Fen, Arah, in Ring of Fire, and one other location. The first bloodstone that the player would have run into would have been the one in Bloodstone Fen. None of them were destroyed from what I remember.

How do you come by these locations? Bloodstone Fen is the one in the Maguuma Jungle. There’s one in the Bloodstone Caves in the Shiverpeaks. Then there’s the one that is still in the Ring of Fire. But Straits of Devastation and Arah? The original bloodstone was in Arah, yes. But after it was split in 5 pieces it was thrown into the volcano in the Ring of Fire. Then that exploded and they got scattered across the world, with only the locations of 3 known.

Play GW1 and you’ll know the three that players were introduced to including where they are now in relation to GW2’s map. Doing the Arah dungeon will introduce you to the 4th.

Whatever happens with the new Ring of Fire, I hope they bring back the hydras and their meteor showers. Tis not a good Ring of Fire without its Hydras everywhere.

I have read a couple of speculation threads in this forums, and in reddit of where Seis Burntheart has been going since she popped up in Frostgorge Sound…

There were way too many people saying there is no correlation of Primordus and Ring of Fire that it was VERY UNLIKELY that we will be going there on the next living story episode. That us going to the Dominion of The Winds(Tengu Map) is much better or the D’ Alessio Seaboard(idk who ever thought about this LOL)…or that Ring of Fire is an expansion type map….

I really didn’t get all this speculations, because imo it was a straight line every week, and we kept going closer and closer to the Ring of Fire, and yet everyone just kept dismissing that fact. Just because we know the Titans was under control of Abaddon in GW1 Nightfall, that doesn’t mean it can’t be controlled by Primordus before that.
__________________________________________________________________
Do understand that on the timeline of GW1 Nightfall, all the dragons were still sleeping…this “Human Gods” knew about the elder dragons, but we do not know the reach of their power…so basically we don’t have enough information to say that Primordus has no relation with Ring of Fire, but that DOES NOT discount the fact that there are still information out there that only the devs know, and we will slowly learn it in the coming living story patches.

Primordus – elder dragon of fire…Ring of Fire…..makes sense to me….just because Abaddon controlled the titans….The undead lich controlled the titans through the use of the staff of orr…..does not necessarily mean that Primordus has no control over them.
__________________________________________________________________
Most importantly, I would like to hear from the people who kept on saying that “WE WON’T GO TO RING OF FIRE” on other threads both here and in reddit, and hear what they have to say now that they have been proven wrong.

As far as I know, we aren’t sure what we are following to the Ring of Fire – in some ways it doesn’t make sense that we would be following Primordus from the Central Transfer Chamber, since we know he moved away from there a long time ago.

The Ring of Fire is also as Mursaat Stronghold and we know the new map will have the Fortress as a key landmark. We could be following up on a thread involving Lazarus and this Molten Dominator could be a Mursaat minion/creation.

Or Primordus or a significant army of his is located under the volcanic ring and we are going there as our first port to take him down.

At this time, no one is right or wrong

True…but at the end of my post i’m mostly pointing out all that skeptics about us not going to Ring of Fire at all….too many skeptics saying it was highly unlikely, and i would like to hear from them…

As far as what we are be going to do in the Ring of Fire, i have no clue and i have no quarrel about that…..but the point remains that we are indeed going the the ring of fire and not the other choices the alot of speculators kept emphasizing for weeks(which was annoyingly 1 sided).

1. Ley Line Gliding Mastery needed to move quickly across the large map.
2. New Mastery, Thermal Propulsion (Ancient Magic tier 2) costs 3 Mastery Points and allow you to shoot around point to point much like Nuhoch Wallows.

Worth quoting the actual article on these two points, because there are a lot of ways to mis-interpret “needed”:

players would be wise right now to train up their Ley Line Gliding Mastery in order to rove quickly about the pretty large map (that’s the top tier of the Gliding Mastery). That said, if you’ve still got work to do there, don’t fret. Ancient Magic’s 2nd Tier will now have Thermal Propulsion which just costs 3 Mastery XP and allows you to basically be shot around from point to point across Ember Bay.

4. Heart Quests will be returning in the map with repeatable daily and rewards

Hearts were pretty boring, I thought. Adventures were a much better take on the idea, especially since (unlike Hearts), they aren’t required for map completion.

What difference does it make that there were skeptics before today’s announcements?

There are all sorts of good reasons to have believed we were heading elsewhere (and all sorts of bad ones, too). But now that ANet has told us the next zone, there’s no more speculation possible about …where the next zone is.

That bloodstone is most definitely destroyed. That leaves the one in Ring of Fire and the one in the Shiverpeaks. And it still leaves 2 unaccounted for.

And how about the Straits of Devastation bloodstone you mentioned? You said nothing about that in your reply.

I played GW1. But that timeline is 250 years ago. A lot can change in 250 years.

That’s the fun thing about theorizing about what might happen. Anyone can be right or wrong. And until there is confirmation, nobody is either right or wrong. You guessed right. So did I. So what? Those who believed we wouldn’t go to the Ring of Fire had their reasons, just as we had ours for believing we would go there. Unless they didn’t explain why they thought we’d be going somewhere else, you already have an answer to your question. Unless your question masks the fact that you actually want to hear that you were right. So here it goes: you were right. xD

Haha i guess i could have worded things better. I don’t care for being right and others being wrong. I mostly wanted to know the reactions of those who said that we are more likely to go to dominion of the winds or d alessio seaboard, since it apparently has more relation to the current story. Tengu from dominion of the winds fighting destroyers, and white mantle from d alessio seaboard.

What i wanted to hear is their reaction now that its definitely going to be ring of fire as the next map coming from living story, and not the others that they kept speculating for weeks. It was just too funny that no one or atleast none that i have read was speculating and defending the idea of ring of fire as the next stop for the living story, and they all got played by anet.

I don’t understand how anyone got played. ArenaNet didn’t pick the Ring of Fire island chain to play people but as a natural progression of the story.

I did not clarify about the Straits of Devastation one as anyone who has played GW1 would know exactly which one that is.

I’m probably mistaken about the Arah one as I haven’t played it in many years. That leaves two still accounted for just like it was when we left off with GW1.

There is no indication that any of the Bloodstones have been destroyed by the way unless you want to count the Bloodstone Fen one being split into smaller pieces. I don’t remember seeing any indication that it was destroyed any more than it was when broken into the original five pieces.

Sounds like its still adventures by another name my friend. It’s almost like adventures and heart quest are literally the same thing.

my ONLY concern is there are 3 more slivers of jungle! I hope we get them before we move away from the jungle-related stories entirely, otherwise when will we get them? If we don’t get em it’ll drive my ocd insane, not to mention the devs have said before they want to map the whole world (and the evidence shows, especially that they took the time to make a tiny map like BSF).

Maybe we’re secretly getting another map: Lush Overlook! It’ll be the pass between DS and rata sum, as well as the edge of the continent. The story goes we’ve been tracking Lazarus’ magic signature through the jungle. When we reach the edge of the continent we see a boat or something and conclude he’s heading to the ROF, boom Ember Bay.

How do you think we’ll get the journey to Ember Bay set up?

Play GW1 and you’ll know the three that players were introduced to including where they are now in relation to GW2’s map. Doing the Arah dungeon will introduce you to the 4th.

It’s pretty clear from the dialogue in Arah that it’s just shards left over from the bloodstone shattering, but not one of the actual 5 pieces they shattered it into. Like the shards we had to find across the current map of Tyria a few weeks ago. Those aren’t actual bloodstones, but tiny pieces from the explosion of the actual bloodstone. That bloodstone is most definitely destroyed. That leaves the one in Ring of Fire and the one in the Shiverpeaks. And it still leaves 2 unaccounted for.

And how about the Straits of Devastation bloodstone you mentioned? You said nothing about that in your reply.

I played GW1. But that timeline is 250 years ago. A lot can change in 250 years.

I did not clarify about the Straits of Devastation one as anyone who has played GW1 would know exactly which one that is.

I’m probably mistaken about the Arah one as I haven’t played it in many years. That leaves two still accounted for just like it was when we left off with GW1.

There is no indication that any of the Bloodstones have been destroyed by the way unless you want to count the Bloodstone Fen one being split into smaller pieces. I don’t remember seeing any indication that it was destroyed any more than it was when broken into the original five pieces.

Then tell me, what was that explosion when we flew into Bloodstone Fen? Consider also the shards we found all over Tyria. Everything in the game is telling us it has been blown to smithereens and the magic absorbed by Lazarus (the concurrent implosion we witnessed). If by destroyed you mean that every tiny molecule of it has been blasted out of existence then no, it isn’t destroyed. But blown to smithereens is equal to destroyed. The magic has been released, which was its purpose in the first place.

Edit: I know there’s the theory that the closed off cave leads to the Bloodstone Caves. But it’s a theory; nothing is confirmed by ANet. Besides, the Bloodstone Caves are located in the Shiverpeaks, outside of Straits of Devastation. That’s why your remark about one being located in the there confused me. The cave entrance is on the northeast side of the map, leading out of Orr and towards the map area west of Timberline Falls. That’s why I don’t consider one of the bloodstones being in Straits of Devastation.

Between Southsun and the Ring of Fire, I personally prefer the latter.

I’m not completely clear on GW1 lore, but wasn’t that where the 1st bloodstone was located? Was it destroyed during Prophecies?

There’s one in Straits of Devastation, Bloodstone Fen, Arah, in Ring of Fire, and one other location. The first bloodstone that the player would have run into would have been the one in Bloodstone Fen. None of them were destroyed from what I remember.

How do you come by these locations? Bloodstone Fen is the one in the Maguuma Jungle. There’s one in the Bloodstone Caves in the Shiverpeaks. Then there’s the one that is still in the Ring of Fire. But Straits of Devastation and Arah? The original bloodstone was in Arah, yes. But after it was split in 5 pieces it was thrown into the volcano in the Ring of Fire.

I guess we have different interpretations then. The original bloodstone was split into smaller pieces, 5 to be exact. The one in Bloodstone Fen, one of those 5 pieces of the original one, was blown to smithereens. That’s how I interpret the events that happened. If something explodes, it gets destroyed.

I think primordus is going to the ring of fire island because of lazarus. If i recall the blood stone was created to keep the magic containt in it safe from the dragons. But Lazarus has taken a big chunk of said magic of one of the bloodstone parts. Maybe now the dragons can sense the magic again and primodus is after it hence follows lazarus to the fire islands, which was in the past a mussaat outpost (aka the reason why Lazarus wants to go there).

Heck maybe it is even a trap by Lazarus for the elder dragons and since they are magic hungry and primodus falls for it.

Thanks

I tried shifting through GW1 lore but couldn’t figure out what happened to the Ring of Fire bloodstone after GW1 ended.

Looks like that’s our goal for Ep2 then.
