Guild Wars 2

This is a bad, bad way to implement the new colours.

Here is hoping they backpedal on this otherwise it is going to cause quite a bit of bad blood between ANet and the WvW playerbase. We should be looking forward to these features, not getting disappointed and shafted when they come out.

Come on ANet, sharpen up!

How long will it take for this to be looked at? It is absolutely worthy of some attention.

There are some really substandard effects in place for this legendary, and I feel like we are getting the short end of the stick somewhat. Don’t get me wrong, it has the potential to be great just like a lot of the others, but currently the incessant howling, and the mist is a bit lacklustre.

I hope this can get acknowledgment by the powers that be, as I am sure that we would all appreciate it.

I absolutely love the idea +1

Thanks, although a lot of the real effort has come from players who I have referenced.

FYI, I have my eyes currently set on the shadow behemoth and Zho’Qafa.

The purpose of this thread is to keep track of current theories for the search of Final Rest and be a reference for related threads (on reddit & here). I will update it from time to time as new information arises so that we all can figure out what we want to focus our efforts on as a community.

Please feel free to post below or in other threads if you have any compelling proof to add, cool suggestions or new/missing theories to add to the list.

Current Theories:

1. Zho’Qafa Catacombs (1)
2. Shadow Behemoth (2)
3. Andarzbad (3)
4. Hidden Boss in Dungeon (e.g.: Ascalon Catacombs)
5. Zhaitan’s Rest POI in Arah
6. Not in game loot-tables

Debunked Theories
Mystic Forge – Official dev response says it can’t be crafted. (4)

Official Responses
“The only hint I will give on FInal Rest is this: You cannot make it. It is dropped from a LARGE boss chest.” (4)

“It’s exactly as Linsey stated previously—it’s a loot drop from a specific (rare) boss.” (5)

Addendum
Thanks go out to all members of the community who have already researched and provided valuable input in our treasure hunt for this item.

Also if anyone high up wants to give us more hints… that’d be real swell.

Edit: Wow.. I have been neglectful of this thread, and you have all been putting some great effort in. I will update this post very soon to reflect this discussion

A few of us just explored AC path 1 quite thoroughly after beating it. We did notice a few Gargoyles scattered about on walls here and there, and we did find a torch that was activatable for a hidden event.. but other than that babkiss.

This is a great opportunity for anet to stir up some excitement for a treasure hunt in game. This sort of thing can create rich stories by players, and really engage the community in a positive way. I mean, who doesn’t like to search for treasure?!

I know we had got some vague confirmation before, but as people have already states, they feel it is probably a bit too vague based on what we know.

We don’t need to be told where it is, or how to get it, just that it is somewhere and we should be actively looking.

Of course a few more hints wouldn’t go amiss

@DownPour you mean hanging out by the portals?

@Nurvus, I agree, and i’m glad I saved you from the troll virus

@Nurvus. They are enchantments. They are optional.

OP, Good idea.

@gvogels
Community involvement is a great idea, and doesn’t have to be at the volunteer GM level.

I am absolutely certain there are reliable people out there who would be willing to volunteer in some capacity to help out however they could. It is just up to anet to figure out whether they want to tap into that resource, and the logistics surrounding it.

Excellent suggestion.

The number of skills and the way you acquire them are different to what you would expect with some of the other MMOs and perhaps slightly limiting at first… but there are a number of other ‘interesting behaviours’ you can unlock by assembling combos, either by yourself or with other people.

This is avenue which is only starting to be explored by anet, and perhaps will be further expanded in the future.

It could actually become quite a complex and rich system given further development, and then perhaps you will be thankful for the limited base set of skills to get your head around.

I for one am optimistic about this and will give it the patience it deserves.
