Guild Wars 2

I am thinking the Revenants are going to be kinda like the Elementalist. They will have different “Atunements”. Where they switch between them in combat.

If it is so bad, do not buy it./stop playing the game.

I have always thought of Fractals as “Raids Light”. I am on board for large scale frac’s 10-20 man would be great!

I actually like your theory a lot. This would make sense. I am really enjoying reading all the interesting theories floating around after the big reveal.

No Walking.6349:

Rocky skin, rocky looking teeth, it’s Kralkatorrik.

No crazy theories here, we’re gonna go fight Kralk now. Not sure why Scarlet was so crazy to wake up Kralk, or why there was such a build-up when we all knew we would go off to fight the other elder dragons some day, but whatevs. Was nice killing Scarlet.

The theory is more about the picture, Is the scene hinting at a new zone? I am sorry If i was not clear.

Ok first off Major Spoilers if you have not done the story instance of the current patch.

Ok now that I got that out of the way. I ran toe story instance again this morning to try and get the achievement, Everything was pretty much the same until I watched the final cutscene. I noticed during the part where the Dragon opens his mouth for a split second the shape of his teeth and the colors used look like a Mountain range with the sun rising over it.

To me it almost looks like the area that Bizarre of the Four Winds took place. Now I am no lore expert on the geographic locations but could this be a zone from the first game, a completely new zone or am I just seeing things in the picture that are not really there.

I took a screen of the part I am talking about, you be the judge.

Wondrous! I loved this.

/100 Skritt cuz Skritt are freaking awesome!

I have always thought that the Dragon from the Sylvari starting quest has looked like the Dragon Scarlet painted in her lab.

Welcome to the game!!! Do not let the internet trolls discourage you, this game is fun.

I do think this game is not made for everyone and that is ok.

That said I freaking love this game. It is my all time fave MMO. Sure the game is not perfect but what mmo is?

They will give us all the basic needs for the Expansion pack the will come out next year…..ohhhh wait that was just a dream I had last night.

Seriously tho, I hope it has something for all the back skins/armor skins they keep putting in to the game. Something along the lines of how the achievement skins work.

First off, Ohh the six gods forbid that a F2P game charges for something! (ok well buy to play.) It could be a lot worse they could be going the route of a certain sci game based on a major franchise. They nickle and dime you left and right in that game.

While when I first realized what ANet had done I was bit shocked for sure. After like 5 mins I had no problem with it. If I wanna craft I will just go to my home city (Rata Sum). I mean it dose not cost that much to TP there., plus Vigil Keep has all the capitol City Asura gates at no charge.

Yea sure it would be nice to have everything in a tight little area like LA was, but like many people have said I think this is only temporary. We will be getting a new main hub city soon (perhaps even a rebuilt lions arch). If you do not like it do not buy simple answer. I will not be buying it, I just do not think it is worth the price.

Why be lazy explore the vast world the devs worked long hours on. I think that was one of the ideas behind it, I mean until now I hardly saw someone over lvl 20 in Rata Sum.

I agree a Hero of Lions Arch title would be great!

Zaxares.5419:

I still haven’t managed to catch that. Whereabouts exactly in Fort Mariner does she show up?

And where exactly is Magnus in Bloodtide Coast? I can’t find him in front of the portal to LA, nor is he at the refugee camp.

She shows up just to the right at the top of the stairs to the right of the main entrance coming off the bridge from the grand piazza (sp). Go up the stairs and you will see the Airship when she is their. or you can just follow Canach from his cell to the landing I believe.

It is hard to tell in the vid, but I think it is the Tower of Nightmares theme. which you can find on Soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/arenanet/guild-wars-2-tower-of

I hope for a new “questing Zone” with new hearts, events and perhaps a new perm dungeon.

This is Brilliant!!!! I would def buy this off the gem store. It would be cool if they got the voice actor of Marjory to a summary vid where she tells the story of Scarlet. At the end of every “season” they could update it, or more likely release a new one.

Kiel shows up in LA during the fighting. At fort mariner towards the end of the events. She has stolen Mai Trins Ariship. Magnus, The still captive Canach and others escape on the ship just before the Misma takes hold of the city. I am not sure where she is after the escape.

Palador.2170:

It should wait until Lion’s Arch is “saved”, but I do think some kind of memorial event needs to happen in-game.

It shouldn’t be a big event with fighting and missions, though. It should be a quiet and personal thing for the most part. Lighting torches or fires at various points in and around LA to remember those who fell there. Maybe services or speeches every now and then in LA, each of the orders’ bases, and each of the race cities.

It should happen every year at the same time, as well.

Hell, I’d even say that the gemstore should shut down for those two weeks. Or offer a free “Memorial Torch” or something. Just NOT make a profit off of it.

Sounds like a perfect setting for a LS instance.

I like the idea of a memorial. An eternal flame burning. Perhaps it could be placed on the highest peak above the ruins of the city where no players could reach. on either side two statues of Lion Guard keeping eternal vigil over the ruins. The ruins them selves would become a new “questing zone” with new hearts and perhaps a new perm dungeon with a LA theme. The hearts could center around the Priory trying to reclaim lost artifacts, and the vigil trying to keep ne’er do wells out.

All these where are they posts about our fave NPC’s have given me an idea for a fan fic..

Dose anyone know if they had names our were they just “Citizen”

Maybe he took her down into the sewers and they are hiding. huddled together waiting for the worst to pass.

At first I was just looking for a different MMO I was tired of the standard games, I had hoped GW2 would be different. Which it is, however the gameplay here is not my fave. What keeps me around is I have fallen in love with the world. It is hands down my fave fantasy setting. I really am loving the slightly Steampunk mixed with High Fantasy feel to the game (best way I know to describe it)

Jeff.4680:

I really wish they would add more instanced stuff. Especially since I’m more fond of the story rather than mindless killing of mobs and picking up loot.

There is actually quit a bit of story going on in this event, It is just hidden under the surface. which sucks but at the same time I kind of enjoy, You have to look and find it which makes it all that more special IMO.

ShinjoNaomi.1896:

Now it could be really heart-wrenching if you found the charr that kid was talking to digging and clawing at a collapsed and wrecked building, yelling,
‘Raisin! Come on, say something!’

omg my heart just broke a bit reading that!

I agree with the OP fully. I have seen comments in map chat like " Dead people get up off your Lazy kittens and WP" but the WP is so far that the player would just die again trying to get to the event.

I will stop fighting in a event if I am near a downed player. Though like many have said if the player is full on dead and a short run from a WP then I leave them. However if they are dead and it is a bit of a run, if it is not a moving event (Moas) I will try my best to revive a dead player. Once I get all the moving event achievements I will stop and rez fully dead players.

What gets me is when the downed player never says thank you. It is not that hard to type “TY” after a rez. I always say “TY” no matter what is going on.

Caveth.3268:

Here are some screenshots. It’s just a generic airship.

Welp I am not paying for that… Love this game to death, but that just looks bad.

Callum Walker.3249:

Lion’s Arch is burning because of quaggan

I have never trusted Quaggan’s the are just TOO cute, just like bunnies….they are all up to something.

Dark Jericho.8609:

Really wanting to know what this is. Maybe Scarlet’s inside?

Whoa! I missed that, Interesting. I know on my Elementalist I had a PS quest in that house.

Elrey.5472:

Poor asura, did scarlet army also set your armour in fire? :\

Now, seriously, that’s a really nice picture, you can see all the destruction behind And yes, this is the right place to put it since it involves the actual LS

ROFL! Thanks so much! (sings)This Asura is on fire!..

Evil Tim.5104:

I’ve got some before and I guess during screens. I’ll add the after when the time comes.

Oh what a great idea, I did not even think of that. Great pics!

So here is one I just found in the bunch I took. The purple looks freaking amazing!

SirusDibley.3716:

I see anet employee’s have posted to tell us how good their boring re rinse zerg fest is.

awful update as usual.

If things are so bad why do you keep playing, I am just curious?

So I figure why not share some screen shots from the event. If this is the wrong place I am sorry.

Jagerbomb.9057:

This is by far the best content you have released. I love everything, the cutscene, the rewards, the events! Oh and the armor is amazing! You really have out done yourself with this patch, IMO It’s the best ever and I’m pretty sure 99% of people agree with me. ^.^

Keep up the work!

( Grumbles Kasmeer better not die…)

HERE HERE!

I am enjoying it, sure it is a zergfest but what do you expect from and open world event? It would not feel much like a major invasion/battle if it was just you and 4 friends in a instance. If things are bad as many people are crying about why do they keep playing? I swear if the devs gave us all legendary’s and 1,000 gold. People would still be mad.

All just my opinion of course

I do agree with other people that they do take you out of the moment. However I did not hate the scenes either. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

EDIT: I would defiantly love it if the cutscenes looked like the one from the LS when Marjory first meets Logan. That was soooo well done!

That is just Amazing!!!

Aethelbert.1497:

No, he is clearly not a(n active) member. He is an emissary from Rata Sum, and that is his main duty.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Emissary_Vorpp

ok thank you very much.

You was too quick to reply, I edited the post. :p

I knew she was a member, I was just confused by his appearance and the conversation

Aethelbert.1497:

No, he is clearly not a(n active) member. He is an emissary from Rata Sum, and that is his main duty.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Emissary_Vorpp

ok thank you very much.

So this is a random question.

Is Emissary Vorpp a member of The Durmand Prior? In the latest LS instance he is there and it sounds like he might be a member by the way the characters introduce him. However the Wiki has him down a rep for Rata Sum. I am wondering because I am working on a fan fic and want to get his affiliation correct. Any help would be hot, thanks!

I have never understood all the hate aimed at Overflow, yes the Karka event was a nightmare, but sense then they have fixed it. I would rather have overflows then trying to log in and being told server is full, please sit in a cue for 45 mins. While not perfect Overflow is a lot better then not being able to play the content at all.

VOLKON.1290:

JayMack.8295:

I think it’s been well established that she isn’t after LA – she’s after what’s beneath it.

Go beyond that. We’re fairly sure she’s out to kill the dragon, but is that the dragons plan? Will her attempt to kill the dragon awaken it fully?

This is what I am thinking.

So, after the smoke has settled and our beloved city (for some) is in rubble, do you think we will get a new permanent dungeon in the zone? Maybe not in the next patch but perhaps in “season two” of the living story? Just curious what everyone thinks. Personally I think this is the perfect setting to put one in.

Shirogatsu.3150:

Well

That is just awesome artwork!

mXz.4512:

What I’m wondering is if the storyline as you progress into LA will be moved to somewhere else. Surely people are at different points of the story and it’d seem kinda awkward if LA gets destroyed while they’re just meeting their mentors for the first time, or going through the battle of claw island.

They devs did an interview with Massively, saying they have worked out a way for you to enter the personal story parts, Also the PS is a locked point in time. So the story is not effected by what is going on in the world at the moment.

BrunoBRS.5178:

yes, they look alike.

but that’s definitely not mordy. way too tiny.

Just spitballing here, But what if Mordy was not strong enough to break fully into the dream and that is why he is not large enough and is easily beaten by new Sylvari?

Personally I believe it could be Mordremoth, and I also think we have seen him before this. I think he is the “dragon” you fight when your in the dream as a new Sylvari. I think he is trying to break through the dream.

Here the picture of the cave painting and a screen of the “dragon” in the dream. They look a lot alike.

inazuma.7021:

The reveal, to me, wasn’t so much that Scarlet plans to attack Lion’s Arch. It’s why. There’s something under the city that’s she’s after. Something to do with the ley lines and dragon energy. Something she may very well awaken in the next few weeks.

Exactly what I got from the story this patch, and like others have said this one and part of the last patch has served as a way to catch up the ones who have not been following the whole story. This has defantly got me back into the Living Story I am excited to see where it is going.

on a side not I personally think that if it is an Elder Dragon, it might be the rumored sixth one, There is a lot of Jungle/plant themes going on. More so if you subscribe to the theory that the Sylvari are connected to the dragons some how.

Helcor.9527:

This is a huge joke. Almost like anet is trolling on purpose with this. WvW is the only reason i play this game and at this point looks like the reason im going to leave. This is garbage. Strategy? Its numbers all over again. Move away from this zerg kitten. You think putting a bunch of cliffs in this will make it “strategic” get real.

Bye!

I agree fully with you, though I think the Elder Dragon is not Primodus, but the rumored sixth dragon many call Mordremoth the Jungle Dragon. There is a ton of evidence through out the game that whisper of this dragon,

Look at the Dream when you start as a Sylvari. What to you fight in the end, a Jungle themed Dragon. This could be Mordermoth trying to break into the dream. Now look at all the jungle themed stuff going on with Scarlet. The 3 headed Wurm, Nightmare Court etc…

Yes we have the molten alliance but they really have not done much sense the start. If you look at how the story unfolded, Scarlet has been moving south to the jungles Perhaps to where the Dragon lies.

Personally, I think living story is a great idea in concept. The execution however has not lived up to what it could be. Yes it is pretty darn amazing how fast we are getting things to do, but it is 95% temporary. I am also enjoying the tower right now, but it is getting old really fast as well. I think most people are dying to have something that sticks around and becomes fully part of the world. like new races, skills, classes, zones and so on.

Of course the examples I gave are pretty much expansion type content. But who says we can not have a series of living story events that lead to us entering the Crystal Desert, we all know they can add new zones they have proven it time and time again.

As for classes, skills that is all about balance and such and it is far beyond my understanding, but I do think the could add them some how.

New Races on the other hand, I actually think could work in the gem store. I know I am prob in the minority in this. But 10-15$ for a Kodan could not be all that bad. I mean for sure they would have to link the race to what ever new zone they added so it would make sense. Again I know there is more tech type stuff that goes into Races. Armor, Voice acting etc… but you know players would pay and enjoy, but at the same time it would not be forced on you. Totally up to the player if the want to play a new race they can.

Now this is just all my point of view and I know haters are going to hate, and in the end we all want the same thing. We want Guild Wars 2 to be “our home” for a long time. Or why would any of us be posting on here. ..well maybe some might post to troll.
