Q:

This area has been there since launch, prior to Southsun’s creation. Why was this not made into a transition zone to gain access to Southsun by land?

Not that people want to go to Southsun, it is just one of those inconsistencies that seem to be more and more prevalent in GW2’s development in terms of permanent content (and pls bring back Labyrinthian Cliffs)

Together with my guild we figured that was how we would get to Southsun when it was released. Had completely forgotten about it until now. Very odd that after all this time it still hasn’t been opened up.

Although what would be be theme? Karka on the left, Risen on the right… Could be a war between the two? My focus on the theme is simple, if it’s just going to be an extension of Sparkfly (same design, same enemies etc) then I’d rather have ANet apply that time and effort on creating something new.

This would actually be rather interesting, the Risen have a large influence in the water, the ships coming in, and just a large contingency overall in the water areas of Sparkfly.

And on the flip-side, the Karka are very water based, but are only seen on land (noone else notice this?)

So the area where the island (right) meets the water would be a great place for an aggressive brawl between the 2.

Risen and Karka fighting on the beaches, ships in the waterway, Karka are naturally able to “siege” with their attacks, so they could be latched onto, or launching projectiles at the ships and trying to sink them.

But would the consortium have some involvement, since the area is becoming settled, and the nearby land to the west is in fact the main hub controlled by friendly NPCs.
