So.... What is going on in Tyria??

Sorry guys, but the whole Tequatl is the new Zhaitan argument just seems too cliché even for recent Anet storytelling…. other then the previously mentioned (and vastly confusing) discontinuity between various (types of) storylines within the game [i.e. Logan in personal story ending versus what he is doing in the living world] this living story patch is probably an excuse to update world bosses.
Plus, since this is a living story, we can assume Zhaitan will be treated as neither Alive nor dead, so the passing of the mantle so to speak probably isn’t the answer since very rarely in the living world have they made connections to you’re character’s accomplishments via the personal story, why suddenly start now??

At that do we know how magic Zhaitan had absorbed would be released? Would it only seep out but largely remained infused with the corpse, only degrading over time or would it be released into the world like a popping balloon?

Just going off the Zephyrite short story about (what we can assume is) Glint’s corpse, I think we can assume Zhaitan’s corpse is still pretty full of magic, unless the fall, or someone “popped the Balloon” but in the case of of biggest “sponge” around, if I remember correctly there were quite a few other lieutenant/champion dragon’s flying around while people were spamming 2 at Zhaitain…. wouldn’t they have gotten the magic before Tequatl?

Basically, since posting this, I’ve just come to accept THIS PARTICULAR (caps for emphasis) Living World update, as ‘fluff’ for a long promised set of mechanics, those being the lfg tool, and updated world bosses, aaaaaand they just pick Tequatl because he has, in my opinion anyways, one of the more cinematic entrances…..

On the other hand: even though the Living World and how it is presented creates weird loopholes, such as what Koing brought up, “What came first, the Pact of the Aetherblades” and similar arguments, all and all at least it gives us all talking points, and ‘new’ content to play

So, I am a little confused, and figured this would be the best forum to post this discussion topic.

Is the Living World a little behind the Personal Story? or do we just accept that the game lore is doing something really weird right now???

Hear me out for a second.

As per the Angel interview, we now know that the Mouvelian Calendar is synced up with our calendar, but next week the Living world update is based around Tequatl getting ‘Stonger’ (game mechanic wise, the World boss update we have been promised for forever) but lore wise, how? his master/creator SHOULD be dead.

To the contrary though, human characters are referred to as ‘The Hero of Shaemoor’ in the Living World events, so hence my thought that MAYBE the Living World storyline (greatly assuming/hoping there is one) is behind the Personal Story (that we have had since launch).

But, if the Living World is a continuation of the Personal story, and Zhaitan IS dead for the next update…. what is going on? does Teq, have a new master? did he take over Zhaitan’s position as the head of the Risen? and get a power upgrade? or should we just take this as a game update being presented as a living story update, simply to deliver something that has been promised.

Thoughts? Ideas?

But then will come the threads about the mount quest being too hard;
no mounts, no threads about mounts.. it’s been 6 and a half months can we get past mounts already?!?

Return of GW Original Classes?

well Paragon went into the current Warrior and Guardian classes, and the Ritualist had parts of it put into the Engineer and Guardian (control with turrets, and spirit summoning) so the only class that COULD return is the Dervish, but much like the Assassin, it would be re-branded and have some changes (i.e. no more Avatars)

the title essentially says the point…

some additionally info: we do dabble in sPvP, and WvW, if someone feels like doing it..

we run dungeons frequently, are currently leveling a lot of alts, and all levels are welcome.

we use a teamspeak 3 server for voice chat.

it’s hard to write out exactly what we do, as [DAC] is more of an experience…
if you have questions or would like to join send me an in game mail, or a pm if I’m online, I’ll gladly answer.
