Unfortunately the GW2 screenshot decided to come out with all sorts of issues and didn’t work too well, but here it is, the answer to all of the excitement and effort, the thing everyone has been waiting for.

Also the drill is going the wrong way and doesn’t actually work, which would explain why it is taking so long

It’s a metaphor for something.

Not going the wrong way, lol. Usual small drills indeed go in a different way because it’s intention is to make a hole. However, for bigger drills, such as the ones used by Scarlet here, are drilling in that directions because it’s intention is to move out all the dust and rocks inside. Once a rock is broken by the drill, the pieces are stuck in the drill and they slowly go up because of the direction of the spin, so it gets removed from the path and allows the drill itself to make a “tunnel”.

As usual, my english sucks, but i think you understand my point.

I too thought that the drill was going the wrong way, until I took a closer look at the bit itself. You can see multiple ‘tines’ or teeth off the drill ‘blade’. These are what break up the earth/rock and as mentioned the cork-screw acts as a conveyor belt to move the material out of the way.

One Question Though: Where is all the waste material?

How do you think we’re being rewarded for this living story?

When it first came out, you don’t take any damage when go near it. They added it later I guess. I was hoping to see something there as well haha.

Must be a bug on your side. Going to the drill was one of the first thing I did right after the game patched and it definatly did damage. Enough to kill me quickly.

All I saw is that the drill is right on the heart of GW1’s LA. It’s rage inducing. Pure, unadulterated, hatred-fueled rage. Scarlet must die. Period.
