Guild Wars 2

Other possibilities are the Infinity Ball, which Scarlet is implied to have knowledge of. If this is the way they go then it’s possible that Scarlet isn’t from this timeline, and comes from one where Mord has already attacked and the Pale Tree has been taken over/destroyed.

This would explain her ease of control over the Steam Creatures which are seeping over from the alternate reality created by the Infinity Ball, and would be a cheap but plausible explanation for why Scarlet popped out of no where.

When you state that “Scarlet popped out of nowhere”, if you mean the actual physical body then you are completely wrong because we know exactly where that body came from: The Pale Tree

She was born just like any other Sylvari and her name then was Ceara

Ceara emerged from the Dream of Dreams with an innate fascination with the interlocking systems of nature, and a determination to forge her own path independent from the Mother Tree. When the rules of the world prescribed her one destiny, rather than struggle against them she would simply change the rules.

She also spent 11+ years learning what she knows.

However if you mean the persona of “Scarlet Briar” then there is a possibility that while in the isolation chamber her mind didn’t just snap with ill gotten knowledge (it is also from the experiment with the chamber she learned of Caithe’s secret imho since it is stated she learned the grand design behind the Slyvari) but was taken over by another force. However everything stated so far points to that not being the case:

Ceara entered the machine, which was an isolation chamber that removed all physical stimuli to let the mind run free, and during the experiment she saw visions which she believed to be the Eternal Alchemy.¹ She saw Tyria and the Mists, she saw the insurmountable challenge of the future and her people’s part in it—the sylvari of the tree and the Nightmare Court, Caithe and Faolain—all part of a grand design. And for the first time in years, she heard the voice of the Pale Tree, begging her to go no further. Ceara pressed on regardless, which broke her sanity while allowing her to think in different ways that allows her to progress in ways traditional thinkers can’t. It is unclear whether she actually saw the Eternal Alchemy, or if it was merely halucinations.¹ Upon emerging she killed Omadd and took her new name, ready to burn the world.

According to that (which is based on the short story of her life and what she saw in the chamber) the knowledge to do what she is doing has always been there, it was just something no sane person would ever think of doing with that knowledge.

I say CD should be very proud of ourselves that we held the scores close to Ebay. Not sure about Ebay, but since the last time we fought them, we have lost 2 important NA guilds. So to have our scores be that close is an achievement itself.

DB’s Oceanic/Sea coverage is still right up there with the best despite their meltdown. Their loss to BP is probably due to BP having a more rounded coverage as opposed to DB’s strong, but time limited strength

Not really. We had Oceanic/Sea, they had EU but when the new content came out the majority of both IoJ and DB players went to Kessex Hills while BP’s players were more dedicated to getting the WvW win that week. I logged in on that Tuesday to see IoJ ticking 10 pts, us 5 pts and BP 680 and by that evening BP had a WP in our EBG keep and camped the spawn. A day like that followed by more days with lots of players in Kessex instead of WvW basically ends a match.

Where was this DB last week against us?

In Kessex Hills for the new PVE content

DB Band wagoned like 10 guilds.

I think that explains reset

Did those guilds join DB before the leagues started? I ask because I believe that if a player transfers to a new server after the Leagues commenced then their end-of-league reward will be based on their old servers performance & not the new server.

He is trolling you guys. We haven’t had new guilds join it is just all our pve’rs are now done with the Blood and Madness achievements and are now looking at getting their WvW ones.
