Hello everyone!
Some of you may have already heard of our fansite, Projecttyria.blogspot.com, but for those of you who haven’t, Project Tyria is dedicated to before and after styled comparison pictures of the Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 universe.

We were sent some real life Guild Wars 2 loot to give away and we’re using it to celebrate the upcoming “Flashpoint” update. In celebration, Project Tyria wants to know what kind of Guild Wars (1) locations you want to see in future Guild Wars 2 updates. We also want to see a screenshot of your Guild Wars 2 character in front of a location that was also in Guild Wars (1).
We’re not only giving away prizes on Facebook and Twitter; we are also giving away a prize for best screenshot.

If you’re interested in joining, please refer to this post on our site!

Changes to Ele trait "One With Air"

For me, the new trait ability seems a little redundant with the Inscription and Elemental Attunement traits. We already have a trait that gives a short term speed boost to us upon attuning. Having both together just seems a little odd to me.

Are there any plans to up the cost for the Commander status, such as more gold or badges of honor?

I see where your going with this, but just because I spent the past two months getting 500 badges of honor doesn’t make me a good commander either. Unforcantly there is no real way to assure a commander rank is justly served.

As recently I out commanded two commanders and achieved something in one hour they couldn’t in 5 hours, I don’t have my commander rank either.

Yes, there is no real way to assure it’s justly served, however, it shows that you AT LEAST have some experience. I mean, obviously it worked for you, right?

I agree. We need to up the prices with something that shows that they have experience and the motive to work up the amount of money required. I’ve thought the same thing every time I see a bad commander on the battle field. We don’t need rich people, or someone who’s just popular with other players, we need someone who has played and experienced enough to know what they’re doing.

Actually, it is a positive review. He states that he enjoyed the game overall. The good points seem to outweigh the bad pretty clearly.
I think you’re confusing constructive criticism for negativity.

Cantha: What do you think is happening there?

I’d like to point out that it was stated that Cantha is flooded, but it’s not like a Lion’s Arch flood, it’s more of a- the city streets will be a little difficult to walk through- flood.

Logan and his infamous decision

I feel like if he would have defeated the Shatterer in time, the revolt may have ceased, or at least slowed down to get their bearings after seeing the dragon fall.
As much as I would be afraid to fight any dragon, even just a champion, I’d have to stick with my friends.

GW2 and in-game lore: things I feel need improvement

I just want to add into the hero part. I feel your concerns, really, but they’re just pulling an old GW1 trick.
A lot of people don’t seem to notice, but you were never the hero in GW1. All the henchmen/heroes and characters you encountered were. It plays it up as if you were, as if everyone were. But really it’s them doing everything. In GW2 it’s actually Destiny’s Edge that are the heroes. You’re there to witness it all, and it’s kind of like self inserting a character into your favorite book. It’s a dirty trick on our minds to make us feel important, but that’s why I like it.

The missing characters as far as the White Mantle hideout thing. Well, I kind of feel as if there’s a small skip in time, but that these people were all hiding secretly. Maybe they get together at ____o’clock and we just had fortunate timing. I dunno. I figure everyone has their own agenda and it’d be too difficult to make anything outside of instanced areas fit with a player’s personal story progression at any given time.

Also, as far as the characters from the books, I recommend visiting Kileen’s grave in the Plains of Ruin. Very often will characters from GoA travel there to pay their respects. They’re not right in your face all the time and I think it’s very fitting.

As for the lore books, it may be good for some people, but I honestly like stumbling upon those random npc’s talking about what happened or through buildings and monuments. I mean, if you pay enough attention to the world around you, slow down and actually try and take it all in, you learn quite a bit. When you decide to play through with another character, you might even find something different. It’s like a surprise and I love surprises. But I understand it’s not exactly the best way for those who don’t want to slow down and take the scenic route. It caters to only one style of gameplay, but I, personally, am fine with all of these things.

But yes, not everyone agrees on all of this, and though I understand where you are coming from, I kind of like it the way it already is.

Project Tyria: Guild Wars 1 & 2 Visual Comparisons

In my blog/site, Project Tyria, I compare Guild Wars with Guild Wars 2 visually via screenshots. I travel out to many places we know and love from the original game to this new reincarnation and take pictures and compare them both side by side. I also compare Pre to Post searing in the blog and write about adventures relating to both games.

I hope that you’ll come and visit the site and enjoy your time there!
