Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to say that final cutscene is fantastic! Probably my favorite in GW2 so far. Overall, Season 2 has been much better imo and in the opinion of my guildies. Nice work!

OH MY GOD! that final cutscene was A..maaa…zingly cool

Ya it was a Mass Effect moment where we saw….

EVERYTHING!!!

From what we saw it may appear that each Orb represented a Elder Dragon.

I was like….duuuuude….
and then I was like….duuuuude….

Duuuuude……

Was epic. Am currently running story again.

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

I was recording, so I can rewatch all I want. And you can watch it on youtube :P

It was really beautiful and pretty symbolic as well. From all the cinematics I’ve watched in gw it’s the best hands down.

I did it on a charr and there were horrible clipping issues; like I could see the inside of it’s head clipping issues.

Mind. F******. Blown. ArenaNet I love you.

And yes, if you read the story journal, each orb represents an Elder Dragon.

I haven’t played yet and you guys caused me to spoil myself and find out what all the fuss is about

I recorded it and upoaded it.

Yeah but I want to watch it as me of course >.>

What does the central orb represent?…… Is it the Pale Tree?…..

We know that Mordremoth targeted it while the other Elder Dragons ignored it…..

Is….. this the birth of the Nightmare?…..

Yeah it was really good.
Actually looked like a movie opposed to a cutscene.

So what Scarlet saw was how Modremoth’s mind barged in and corrupted the Pale Tree it would seem……

Now we know where the Nightmare came from…..

And yet we don’t know for certain that the Elder Dragon was the entity that assailed Scarlet’s mind upon her leaving the machine…..

What we do know is that Mordremoth created the Nightmare….

That cutscene was epic! In my opinion, this episode in general has been the best story episode yet, and the landscapes are beautiful!

If we assume the 6 orbs are dragons, then that means there are a confirmed 6 dragons.

Zhaitan, Kralkatorrik, Jormag, Primordus, Mordremoth, and Bubbles. If the Pale Tree is the center, and thus the dragons are rotating around her, it’s quite possible that she is in fact Tyria’s will incarnate, the equivalent of Hydaelyn from FFXIV (Hydaelyn is the planet’s will, and often speaks to the player).

Yeah, very nice hallucinogenic mushrooms experience

a theory:
did anyone else notice the theme with Yggdrasil and the six/seven worlds? Therefore the six orbs circling the middle one would stand for the six dragons and also the six worlds (Asgard, Midgard, Jotunheim, Vanaheim, Alfheim and Hel). I find the middle orb particular interesting, because it should be Svartalfheim(?). So it could accutually stand for both the destructive power of dragons (if you count the seventh world as the world of “black elves” i.e. evil/destruction) and the world of gw since the black elves are considered synonymous with dwarves (and well, the dwarves are the oldest race in the gw universe I belive).

Scarlet only saw that orb and the Elder Dragon orbs after diving into the Pale Tree…..

In other words the Pale Tree knows of 6 Elder Dragons and that one of them invaded her to create the Nightmare…..

Any other Elder Dragons are likely not known to the Pale Tree…..

What Scarlet saw was the Pale Tree’s knowledge of Tyria not the whole Eternal Alchemy……

If there are Elder Dragons in Cantha she wouldn’t know it….

If this doesn’t confirm the fact that super saiyan charrs exists, then idk what does

So we’re the ones diving into the Pale Tree’s mind in this episode?….. Fascinating……

We follow Scarlet’s footsteps and don’t attempt to avoid the Pale Tree which would have given us actual data on the Eternal Alchemy…..

It didn’t drive us insane like it did Scarlet….. Probably because we’re not dumb enough to get a closer look at the Mordremoth corrupted Pale Tree in her mind…..

Nahh, we got pulled out before that could happen. I hope we at least can understand what the dragons say now as a side effect. Maybe even start hearing their voices like they’re trying to corrupt us.

Now we know that Modremoth can corrupt anyone who looks into the Pale Tree’s mind(the most easily findable target within the Eternal Alchemy when inside the Maguuma Jungle).

If one were to open their mind to the Eternal Alchemy while in Cantha who knows what we would run into……

I quit the instance and reentered to watch it again. It was completely worth it. Best cutscene ever, awesome job!

Awesome work. 10/10.

Though as much as I would be acting the same way as my character after being shocked by who knows how many voltage of electricity and seeing the Eternal Alchemy I would be a bit concerned if my mind was still intact or Mordremoth may have gotten into my head just enough that we may start hearing his voice as we progress farther into the storyline.

This would be cool in the fact as we are playing, a whisper can play in the background during story mode.

That would actually be very very cool.

I’ve kindly recorded and uploaded the Final Cutscene.

Obviously it contains Spoilers, so please do not watch if you haven’t completed the Story yet!

Thanks, was hoping for this

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).

Add in our characters getting a dazed status when it occurs, along with some instances where we can’t tell who is friend and who is foe. You know, make it so we’re not even sure if we’re going to be able to take on the dragon without going insane in the process.

Even have a dungeon ending with a real fight worthy of a final fight, where we get to the point where we have to do the final blow to Mordremoth ourselves, only for him to try to take complete control of us. Being up close, we end up in our own mind, where we have to fight and defeat him there in order to allow us to pull the finishing blow on him.

Kinda like in skyrim where you drink that potion, and slaughter all these goblins, only to find out they were villagers.

I was actually half expecting this when I got out and would fight everyone round me till I was subdued.

Le wut? What quest is that?

Same here, I was expecting this would have some repercussions on my PC. But it still might, lets hope so

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!

You’re two hours late. I posted it up above in the thread. :p

Can anyone fully make out ALL of the voices? Or did no one notice them? :P
I saw it, a single mind! (couldnt catch what was said after), do not question the dream we must all plan our paths. There was also talking in the very beginning but i cant make it out

It sounded like the Pale Tree. At one point saying “Don’t do this to me, it’s not time.”

Visual artists did awesome in that final cinematic.

Wubdor.5190:

Oh well. There’s already 2 other uploads of the cinematic as well, and probably will be more.

Yeah it was pretty cool. So wait does those 7 orbs repersent the elder dragons since the green orb that entered the center is Mordremoth?

Also does the funny dialogue part after the scene differ from race to race? I was playing as my Charr guardian and Braham mention the magic coming out of my ear and someone mention about my fur (or was it hair) standing up?

I had pretty much one expression during that whole cinematic, cookies to those who get the reference lol.

What would happen if one traversed the Eternal Alchemy around the Pale Tree all the way to the part embodying Cantha and looked into Kuunavang’s mind?……

Would that be safe?…..

If people keep breaching the Pale Tree’s mind she is likely to fall to the Nightmare completely!

Our minds may be safe yet the Pale Tree’s mind most certainly isn’t!

One mind…. One mind…. Im stuck on one mind….. Could the dragons all be of one???

Make me wish we was corrupted how fun that would be but the cinematic looks good
