I think the reason why everyone like the breach maker battle music is cause its actually in line with music gw2 player and age base would actually listen too and that it wasn’t boring

To be honest, I think JS music in GW2 is pure fail.
In GW1 i’ve heard a lot of beautiful melodies, which I’m listening to this day. And the first song from GW2 which I saved – Battle on the Breachmaker

As has been oft said, there is no accounting for taste.

The problem with JS music for GW2 nothing really changed to supremely differentiate it from GW1 when i hear his GW2 tracks its like i am listening to old gw again i want more upbeat music with a newer feel if we’re 250 in the future. When i heard battle on breachmaker it stuck in my head it was more upbeat and matched the feel of what was happening at the time. when i am in a heavy fight i don’t wanna hear slow stuff that barely changes i want some music with drops and a faster beat let the music evolve during a fight.

And yet your own example proves that dragon corruption doesn’t touch everyone of the same species equally. Otherwise all of the Norn would have been Jormags minions while he was format. Scarlet didn’t have problems until she used that machine and was exposed to things she shouldn’t have been exposed to.

so the slyvari may or may not be minions but there isn’t nothing we can prove without more info. And I’ll doubt we will get any soon knowing how lore light the LS has been.

My post was meant to stat that dragon regardless weather or not dormant the dragons can still corrupt things that come into contact with their energy or presence. Any way Scarlet had problems way before she used the machine to the point she or the pale tree walled off a portion of her mind for her own safety. She started Her journey to find the answers as to what was causing her to slowly lose herself. Also when In the isolation tank scarlets could only come in contact with thing she had brought in with her the machine only directly exposed her to the walled off portion of her mind This exposed her directly to Mordremoth to the point her mind broke.

It would’ve been nice to have it explained to us why the entire year of living story even existed.
Aside from “Scarlet was evil and/or corrupted”, the story for the past year basically went nowhere.

If everything that happened in the LS didn’t happen and they just went straight to an ED waking up? Is there something lost?
Would anything really have been missed?

I don’t people people realise thats what the point of the attack on lions arch was meant to do jumpstart moredremoth all scarlet had to do was hit the layline and all she had planed was done.

Mordremoth woke up around Magus Falls, following the cinematic. Not under Lion’s Arch.

I don’t see what’s weird about a sylvari heavily influence – if not corrupted – aiding Mordremoth’s rise, while a good sylvari not influenced nor corrupted aided in killing it. That’s like saying it’s weird Svanir, a norn, was serving Jormag, when norn are working to kill Jormag.

Im bad at explaining things and I’m on my phone which makes things a bit more difficult but i thought scarlet woke up mordre in lions arch and thought why would why would zhaitan target lions arch if mordremoth was there if and if sylvari wernt in some way dragon minions then why does it seem lIkea they are connected to him since a ssylvari woke him up and if he was under lions arch they would have essentially been defending him, if It wasn’t for the fact I miss informed myself it would seem like there was a war between these 2 dragon’s, but like I said I miss informed myself.

but then I was reading another post and you said something interesting and I can’t quote it since I’m on my phone but it was along the lines of, the dragons want to rule the world but it seems there is to many dragons, which would be a viable reason as to why dragons would target each other.

it seems a bit interesting and since I’m a lore noob I’d be happy for you to put me in my place if I’m totally wrong

If the dragons hate each other why not kill each other off long ago i think they just stay out of each others way and continue to eat magic till its time to sleep again. Any way scarlets did wake mordremoth up but the drill did not directly hit mrdremoth she just released a huge influx of layline energy that surged though out tyria and jumpstarted mordremoth from its slumber.

Killing Scarlet was absolutely wrong. She should have stood trial for her crimes and so much more could of been explained. Suppose she was too dangerous to be kept alive by ArenaNet’s standards.

Except as they closed in to do just that she attacked them nearly killing 2 of your friends. I believe lethal force was justified.

She killed thousands before, why would two random NPCs make any difference. My friends? Braham? Nope. Marjory? I would sacrifice her every day to hear the whole “masterplan” of Scarlet.

Nah dude I understand you’re Scarlet fan but villains that strong with powerful leadership to command such an army is a major threat. She needed to be killed because with all the knowledge she got..she could pull another stunt like this again. I’m quite sure someone will rescue her like a prison guard if she was placed in jail.

It sucks though because she had a lot knowledge, but used for wrong doings because if she was our ally Tyria has a powerful ally.

Don’t get me wrong, Scarlet was the worst villain I have ever seen in a game. But a bit more knowledge of her motivation might have been the saving grace for her existence.

Now this ending is just bad. She could have been devoured by the dragon she released. Or burned trapped in her ship (my hope for the final really), but no, she get’s a mercyful instagib without story.

That is not how a good story is told or ends. This is just lazy.

How you can’t not tell from all the dialog from the instance that pointed out that she was trying to wake up mordremoth. any way giving her time to talk would have just helped her plane work out even more or time to escape. Any way she is dead now and people Now complain that we killed her wtf you cant win for loseing.

- A fearsome death howl, from a fearsome foe, the likes of which has never been seen before!
- Whatever. It was big… now it’s dead.

So long story short, Scarlet killed people because she was bad.

What I really hoped for was a twist: the reason why Scarlet killed so many people, why she invented all these machines (discarded Marionette included), why she went all the way with improving the toxic pollen to miasma etc. etc. I was really expecting some grey-and-grey morality here, with Scarlet telling us about the sacrifices required for development of weapons that can take down a dragon which began corrupting her own race, and than having Scarlet captured and used as an ultimate source of information for facing the above-mentioned dragon. “She may be insane, but she’s a genius and Tyria needs her,” – the Taimi kind of thing.

What I want to say is that many speculations here on the forum were far more interesting than a direct and “lazy” ending we got. That said, I still have hope for a twist in March 18 “epilogue” – though chances of seeing a return of steam-Scarlet saviour from another dimension or finding out that we finished yet another hologram are already next to none. We may ultimately see that finishing Scarlet was a bad move, but still, that won’t be the same as what she was trying to tell us.

She doesn’t seem to really care about her own race tbh and her plane succeeded she hit the lay line and the influx of energy jumpstarted the awakening of a elder dragon. Now what comes now is the actual physical aftermath of this elder dragon awakening. Personally my gues is tat this elder dragon influence was even more maddening then some syvary think hearing the voice of the pale tree and burden of the dream can be it drove scarlet to do what ever she could to get it out of here head and i think we actually put her out of her misery in a way now she dosen’t have to care what happens in the aftermath as she has already made her permanent mark on the world.

What I don’t understand is, why the dragons go through the cycle of absorbing and releasing magic in the first place? It seems like a pointless endeavor destroying the world only to let it breathe again eventually. What force hates Tyria so much that they planted the dragons to create this artificial torture chamber?

My guess is it’s just part of the circle of life… or the circle of death, destruction, and renewal, whatever is preferred.

+1 for Krakenstein, btw. I vote for that being the DSD’s new name.

Its the same thing as the spiral of death from Final Fantasy 10 when sin is destroyed and reborn anew giving a short time of peace and prosperity

The thing that I didn’t like about this ending was that there was no real explanation. A lot of folks guessed she was after Mordremoth, but we still don’t know why she went to such extremes to wake him up, and how he got into her head in the first place, and what that could mean for the sylvari.

The NPCs say they’re not interested in the explanation, but that’s the exact opposite of what my character would have done in that situation. She would have let her talk, and then killed her. Every piece of information is crucial. Why put all those pieces together in the bar and then not get the answer from the sylvari’s own mouth!?

Otherwise, I’m happy to see a return to dragons, but without an explanation, a cool cinematic is just a cinematic.

When you join the Order of Whispers for the first time and watch the cinematic after talking to everyone’s favorite apple seller, Riel Darkwater says something along the lines of “it doesn’t matter where the dragons came from or why they awoke, we just have to send them back to hell”. No one order has all the pieces of why or how the dragons awoke, to be fair. Better hope more is revealed in season 2. (though I will admit I grumbled at not being told why, kitten it guys! I wanted to know!)

(Why is the text of that cinematic not included in the wiki?)

I repeat: Why is Malyck not espousing the joys of Mordremoth when we meet him?

Maybe because the dragon was asleep when you met him. Only time will tell whats happens now.

Caera broke through the Pale Tree’s warning and found Mord himself. Malyck and the people of his tree have no no such protection, even a sleeping Mord would therefore be able to talk to them as easy as he did Scarlet.

Yet, Malyck heard no voices in his head. No people of his tree have popped up shouting ‘Mordremoth!’

The sylvari are not that special, they’re not. The $64,000 question still lies in the sylvari’s origins, the Dream, and the Nightmare. And we are a little closer to those answers today.

Maybe just maybe you needed to break through into the eternal alchemy to feel Mors influence (before he was awake) and the non pale tree Slyvari were just neutral up until the point of him awakening and now they will be susceptible to his influence.

Malyck isn’t exactly neutral, he’s got the qualities of loyalty the “regular” sylvari have but also has a penchant for revenge.

Some quotes from the wiki, pulled from the personal story missions.

“Source of the Issue”

Knight of Embers:There he is! The harbinger. Success! All that is left is to bring him before the Duchess Faolain.
Malyck:You are one stubborn weed, lady, and you’re doing a bang-up job of getting on my bad side.
Malyck:Who are you, and why do you want me?
Knight of Embers:I am the Knight of Embers. I was born dreaming of you, and it has been my life’s ambition to draw you into nightmare.
Malyck:Why? Why do you want me so badly that you would waste lives just to capture me?
Knight of Embers:Because you are the key to our freedom from Ventari’s false laws. Your coming marks the turn of the tide between Dream and nightmare.
Knight of Embers:With your appearance, the truth grows ever closer. Come, the grand duchess awaits in the Venlin Vale.

“A Different Dream”

Amaranda the Lonesome: Gladly. Here, let me look upon you, sapling. Let me gaze into your eyes.

[…]

Amaranda the Lonesome: A distant shore—and darkness. A root, a cave…you. You are the seed. What Ronan knew and never told still lingers in the Dream.
Malyck: What does that mean?
Trahearne: It means my fears are well founded. You were not born of the Pale Tree, Malyck. We cannot see your Dream; you cannot see ours. I must return to the Grove and speak to the Pale Tree.

.

That doesn’t prove that he(non pale tree slyvari) isn’t a minion of mor, it just means that at the time he had none of the dragons influence working on him since it was dormant.

For the record idk where I fall on the debate of Slyvari being minions or not. There is arguments for both sides.

You cant use the fact that mordramoth was dormant to say that his corruption was not influencing the any of the syvari remember jormage was not active but yet svanir still became his champion. It was hinted though out scarlet’s background that mordremath was possessing and slowly influencing her. My gues is that Mordremoth was atro projecting himself into the dream as a nightmare and causing syvari to turn on top of other syvari influencing the nightmare even more with evil deeds while his body leaked Corruption like a evil seed that twisted the land around his resting place. Wychmire Swamp is a perfect example of this.

Its Mordremoth for sure. Its also make total sense with the lore. Just as Sylvari as Mordremoth minions make total sense.

- Ronan a human Soldier discovered a seed in a cave guarded by plant monster. He bring it to his home destroyed by the Mursaat 250 years ago. He decided to plant it and nurse it with the help of a new friend, the Centaur Ventari. They both influenced the growing Pale Tree with Human and Centaur philosophy until the Pale Tree began to grow Sylvari.
- In GW2 we Capture the Sylvari Malyck and we bring him to a Sylvari Seer that say that he’s not born from the Pale Tree, but another tree. This Malyck is from the Nightmare Court. He claim to have no knowledge of the ’’Dream’’ and Traherne think that maybe the second tree have no dream.
- The Nightmare court is a group of Sylvari that reject the Ventari Table (AKA the Human/Centaur philosophy that Ronan and Ventari gave to the Pale Tree).

For me its all clear that these seed that Ronan found was the to create an army of Sylvari, an army of Modremoth minions. The only reasons, why some sylvari are not minions of the dragon right now is because of the Dream. The Pale tree was corrupt by the teaching of Ronan and Ventari and the Pale Tree decide to protect her children from the influence of the Dragon. The nightmare court mission is to remove the protection of the Dream so that all Sylvari fall under the influence of the Dragon.

I repeat: Why is Malyck not espousing the joys of Mordremoth when we meet him?

Maybe he was on a recon mission.

I’m not entirely on board for the theory, but mordy is sleeping when we meet Malyck. Pretty easy to explain.

He is not even born from the pale tree so we cant even say any thing abut him as he was not under any kind of influence from the dream of dreams or the nightmare. I think the only way the syvari even come into contact with mordremoth is though the nightmare his spirit and overwhelming presents is about the same if not stronger then the pale tree This is why scarlet felt like she was being possessed felt as if she was losing herself due to its presence

But in all seriousness They built it patented it so they can do whatever that want with it who cares if you hold lions arch near and dear to you nothing last forever this is good a game in where the story actually has a permanent effect on the wold and having a major city get wrecked is one of the things i hoped for in this game for a while.

Who cares if I hold Lion’s Arch dear? I DO… and thus why I am not happy with this content. If they did something you didn’t want to happy you are free to voice your displeasure.

A majority of the player base didn’t like the change to the syvari armor but hell we got over it. Also pretty sure people didn’t like what happened To kessex hills also but its slowly returning to normal.

But they reverted the changes to the sylvari armors..

Not quite they did not completely revert them they still have glowing textures but go tsome of there old detail back and now there about 10 times darker then how they use to be.

New Changes to Sylvari Cultural Armor

Posted by: Marquie Thomas.1873

Marquie Thomas.1873

i think people are blind as a bat the new armor is like ten time’s darker then how they originally looked and the glow pannle adds a kittening ugly red shade on the leaves in front and the torso. if she was gonna make this change just revert them all the way back not make them uglier and drag the nightmare armor down with it.

I remember last month you told us who were negatively affected by the patch to “bite the bullet”, “get to mixing and matching to find some things that can work” and that wanting to have them reverted was selfish.
What’s with the sudden change of heart?

First off Nightmare armor looks like kitten now thats my biggest beef the t3 armor is now 10 times darker then when its was first changed and thats course of the glow panel thats were added in oct and the old texture and now the fact the armor doesn’t glow even when bright colors are used.

A roll back to how it was before the october patch would have ben blatantly better now the armor is just plain Horrible and dye’s horrendously. I dont care about the textures but when you break The nightmare armor thats was good as is and unrelated to what players were QQ about in the first place thats highly annoying.

In short i am a little annoyed at the fact the nightmare armor had to be ruined if they had just re rolled back to before octobers patch i wouldn’t have given a danm. But no they killed the glow on all the sets. And now the dye shades for both the set are way darker then what they use to be emerald dye is almost onyx on t3 skirt.

But then again, I never went much into the whole glow thing, so I had it all muted from the start. Thus the previous changes just took away the cool textures, which has now been returned.

the texture yes came back but the glow panels make the armor dye 50 shades darker then what it should be and you dont even get the glow on top of that kristen ruined the nightmare armor which was fine as is

It’s because it’s dyed a dark color. She made it so brighter colors would glow brighter and darker colors would glow less, as a compromise for those who want bright glow can use bright colors and those who don’t want glow or subtle glow can use darker colors.

Problem is even with light colors they do not glow

That could be a bug; I have the T3 light skirt on my mesmer, and his still glows. Not as much as before (which I am very, very thankful for as he used to light up like a neon sign at night), but the glow is without a doubt there.

So I am very, very happy with this update. The things I loved about T3 that were removed in favour for glow is back, and I am thrilled to have my glossy leaves with subtle shading again. The hues and the shading are not quite as they were before the glow update, but I am happy with the compromise.

After the previous update walking through the Grove made me feel rather sad because the NPCs looked wilted, much like dying autumn leaves. Now they have most of their shine back, so I actually like being around the Grove again. Thank you so much for this update!

I have light t3 on my female sylvari dyed with Violite, Celestial, and Ancient Silver. Before it was a very bright, visible glow, which matched her as I have her glow set to white with the slider all the way up. Now it’s so dim it may as well not be there

Bright colors do not make it glow more.

To make it even glow the slightest at night you have to dye the main channel now a bright color problem is i will not ruin my dye channel just to make the glow visable and the glow only makes the armor ugly now

She was also the one able to get there, killing every minion by herself and totally not just sitting back?

If not for kormir and her connections with the ghost in the realm of torment we would have lost donkoro and would not have found the old temple of the six gods so one coul also argue you would have ben at a dead end with out her.Kormi did not steal godhood from any one she was given it during the gate of madness mission that was her gift bye the avatars.

  1. She’s a sylvari. All sylvari have innate plant-related magic. So this is nothing new nor unique to her, to have plant magic related stuff.
  2. Technically speaking, Scarlet did not make the Toxic Hybrid nor the tower (well, she likely had overseered it and had done the mechanical modifications done to the tower seen near the top). The Hybrid – and likely the tower in its majority – was created by the Nightmare Court and the krait’s combined magic.
  3. This isn’t bioweaponry, per se, but more of biomagic used for weaponry. Which again, is a specialty common to all sylvari – least of all the Nightmare Court whom have an undoubtably large role to fill in the Toxic Alliance (at least as large as the krait’s role).
  4. I’ll just want to re-iterate. This was the work of the Toxic Alliance; Scarlet just put the two groups together and this is what they mutually worked towards – be it guided by Scarlet or not. She did not make the tower nor the Hybrid. They are no more her creations than the Fused weapons are – those are the creation of dredge and Flame Legion. Only the Twisted Watchwork were made/altered directly by Scarlet. The rest is her directing things and gathering the resources known as “evil factions.”

1) But this isn’t plant magic. Plant magic is summoning plants to fight for you. What we are seeing here is something on a totally different level on complexity. Have we seen any other Sylvari putting other races into plants and then changing them into something more powerful? Nope. So yes it does demonstrate that Scarlet is the best biologist in Kryta.

I would also tend to think that those “plant magic” are the Sylvari’s race ability. So they are closer to Sylvari’s natural biology than magic.

2) Yes Scarlet didn’t construct that huge tower by herself. The NC and the Kraits must have built it. Scarlet probably did have a lot of inputs in its design. But since scarlet is an engineer, this isn’t my beef right now. My beef is with her suddenly knowledge in biology.

Scarlet: “If you want your prophets back, I can help with that. I also have the shards.” (from devs) So the hybrid is, indeed, a creation of Scarlet.

3) Watch the way the hybrid fights. It is all physical attacks. It did summon plants, but that is just Sylvari’s natural biology (This further demonstrates that the hybrid is a Krait+Sylvari hybrid). There is no magic involved. The hybrid did evolve, but that’s part of the Krait’s biology. So the hybrid is much closer to a Bio-Organic-Weapon (BOW) than Bio-Magical-Weapon (BMW) (pun intended). Baelfire (the Flame Legion god) and Subject Alpha are much closer to a BMW.

4) Yes she was the one “pulling the strings on her flame legion and dredge puppets” (her exactly words).

Once again, I really enjoyed the game play of this release. But in terms of lore it just doesn’t sit well with me. But all I care about right now is the future. Anet really have to be careful with the lore when they make future releases.

One should assume scarlet is not just adept in one form of engineering she is also a capable bio engineer also she did study in all three asuran colleges and Jeff Grubb has compared the College of Synergetics to nuclear engineers the College of Dynamics to chemical engineering and the College of Statics to civil engineers.So one can easy see scarlet creating somthing that falls in line between the three and what she mite have learned from the hylecks or inquest and her natural born syvari knowledge of plants.

Amen and hallelujah panzer!

It boils down to two different things, either:

1) There is some huge big awesome reveal looming in the near future about Scarlet that will tie everything together and will leave all of us who ever doubted ANet for a second hanging our heads in shame….

or

2) ANet has no idea what to do with Scarlet or where her story is going and is just coming up with random stories to fill time…..

I happen to side with the latter option but maybe ANet will prove me wrong.

Have you played gw1 were abbadon was the god responsible for shiro the lich and a majority of major events from the gw1 lore.

No more living story plz!

From what I read of your posts Thomas you have spent your time telling everyone that your concerns are more important than theirs. Unless you bought everyone elses game then you have no right to tell people they should not be posting complaints about Scarlet or the trailer music.

People have a right to complain or compliment and the forum is the place for that, if you want contented players then go talk ingame as that is where they all are. Complaining about people complaining is neither constructive or helpful.

The music is bad, the more people that point this out the more likely the next time the music will be better and perhaps be more reminiscent of the quality fantasy music we have had before.

Just so we are clear, you -have- been fairly rude, insisting that you have not attempted to be does not make the issue better. If you have been doing it without trying then you really need to start reading what you type much more carefully.

Just to make my self clear the music used in the trailer has done what its supposed to do for starter’s the music is to promote the contest/content the music is yes unfitting any one with some common sense can understand why its a nightmare theme you aren’t suppose to have the norm in a nightmare which is suppose to be abnormal so why not use abnormale music to promote it cause its something distorted and not what GW2 players are use to hearing thats what makes the trailer that much more understandable.

Sigh i really dont think you get the point

i did and quite frankly i was right with what i said at first time you are insulting people and add nothing leave.

So the music in a trailer is more of a concern/problem then a contest that has a language and region barrier tacked on to it and i don’t think i insulted any one other then you in this post and i was not even trying to be insulting.Yet you don’t think its insulting to me when you say now leave and go away you could at least say plz lol.

Personally i don’t have a problem with the music in the trailer what i do have a problem with is the community overly complaining over such a small issue when there is a much bigger issue involving the contest it self cause of reason i just explained. I see threads that brings up legit issue goes mostly ignored by devs and the community some thread are spammed into obscurity cause of other copy cat thread’s crying about whoopty doo trailer music or those flipping 150 million scarlet hate threads gotta catch em all scarletmon.

You would think the gw2 community’s has better things to gripe over then trailer music but no they do not even when 2 Sub community’s within the entire GW2 community as a whole are being bared from contest entry and the fact there’s a language barrier for people wanting to do vocals but cant cause they don’t speak English.

And in other news today.. the GW2 community have effectively run out of things to complain about….

Wait. The Devs are gearing up for another announcement. Stay tuned folks, more complaining is on the way!!!

wow who upvoted these insults at the entire community?
bad unfitting music is not running out of complaints its a real issue its same as the rap trailers for Assassin’s creed 4 its just poor taste and reflects poorly on the game. you don’t build up a dark and eerie atmosphere then start blasting CeeLo.

Cause all people seem to do every now and days is gripe gripe gripe and now there crying over something as silly as trailer music. Its one thing to complain but the music in the trailer is not one of them in fact the contest it self is one of the better things to complain about cause for one Oceanic/Asian population get shafted for contest Two look at the Q and A here “Q: Can I record vocals over “The Nightmares Within” song?
A: Yes, you can add an English vocal track to “The Nightmares Within” instrumental. English only, please – we need to understand what you’re saying!”. If i am a primary Spanish speaker i am basically forfeiting if i do Spanish vocal’s even if i translate them apparently. There also a few other legit thing’s that when people bring up on the forums go largely ignored by the overall community and devs
