Guild Wars 2

Maybe a Golemancer/Chronomancer/Lancer Hybrid crazye and wacky and might just work.

I know this will probably never happen but what theme if there were to ever be a 9th profession would you like to see? (Maybe in the next 2-3 years?) I personally would like to see a Chronomancer Magic/Ranged and Melee/Bruiser focused less on flat DPS and more on CC and control of the battle field. I just think of really strange weapons to use like Duo-Shield and have access to Pistols, Torches, Staves, Foci, Scepters, Mace, and Horns. I still don’t like the fact that there is such a small skill pool to choose from and so I personally wish GW2 Devs. would add skills and or add professions. Honestly it’s been like 2 years now there have been the same skills and classes so i’m pretty sure the current “meta” is is what is. The professions are what they are and at this point they aren’t going to change. I would just leave them where they are and just add more. Do what LoL does, they add a champ every couple months and then slowly but surely nerf/buff them. I don’t know and im not going to pretend like i know the answer. I stopped playing like 6 months ago and enjoyed the game when i played but slowly i just kind of felt the repeated trends. Who knows maybe i missed the game changing stuff. But from my POV you can add all the content in game as you want but if you don’t add new ways for me to physically play the game diffrently it means nothing. Just my feelings on the matter because I really want to get into this game. Oh well, back too on topic what theme would you like to see on a new Profession?

:/ though so… Did they atleast add you know new Exotic Weapons that can drop?

Are gadget builds viable? Did they fix Hobo Sack’s? Mesmers still OP? Did they add legendaries that look good on engineers? Not trying to sound like a kitten but im actually curious because i have no clue how to find out besides Dulfy on what i missed.

Yes if you want success for season join DI now!

Hey if your in IoJ or any other server join DI! Were a fun competetive WvW guild and we are looking for players who are interested for the best guild experience they can receive.

Completely agree, though I hated her back when she was in WvW shouting “DIE DIE DIE” over and over, she quickly grew on to me when I read her journal. I felt pity for Ceara for she only sought to acquire knowledge of the universe and how it works. But she payed the ultimate price for it.

Though I agree completely, I personally feel it would be kinda redundant. We have two major gay relations ships and they just happen to both be females. Adding yet another gay relationship but this time male and male (as great as that would be) would feel like cramming it down our throats, especially since Kas and Jory are pretty new to the overall story. Let’s just wait a while and let the current stories characters progress and develop first then add more relationships of this matter to present themselves.

I’ve just made a human engineer but almost all my classes are human besides my main elementalist asura so I wanted to change some things up and was wondering If I could make a sylvari somewhat similar to Scarlet Briar.

Ceara lost herself to Mordemoth when she stepped foot inside Omad’s machine. The mechanism that showed her the Eternal Alchemy severed her connection to the pale tree leaving her vulnerable to Mordemoths influence and corruption. The symbolic visions of the red thorn strangling the Pale Tree was Mordemoths own corruption spreading to kill the tree itself. I’d like to ask did we really kill Scarlet or Ceara? We knew her at the beginning as a independent being who chose their own destiny but as we saw her when she died, she seemed more like a rabid dog foaming at the mouth desperately trying to protect the drill so it can awaken her master. This completely contradicts the Ceara we know as she would die for no one. It really makes me wonder deep deep inside Scarlets own psyche she pleaded someone would kill her so she could stop the one thing she hated most: not having her own free will. I feel if she could have, she would have whispered thank you for freeing her from enslavement but the corruption that infested her would not let her do so. Personally, I feel we killed a highly intelligent champion of an elder dragon rather then the Scarlet we though we killed. Anyways we have a much bigger problem now.

Adding new skins through the black lion chests is a cheap move Anet. If it was garunteed i could get the tickets from the black lion chests would be fine but the Rng is too much. With a game’s own end game focused on asthetics and making your character looking the way you want it too, im so suprised that almost all these skins require you to buy keys from the gem store and then have Rng to get a ticket to decide your fate. Personally, i find this slightly insulting that there is no way to get them in game besides being lucky with chests or dropping an inordinant amount of gold to get on skin. Skins is one of the best features in any MMoRPG and though we dont require to have the skins why cant their be some alternative method for those that dont have credit cards or alot of gold or for any other reason?? Why cant they just drop in with the rest the champ boxes or add a new way to obtain the skins? I know you get money paying for the keys and all but… idk this, i dont think is a fair way to do it

I saw the selfless potion and I really want it but I’m busy during the week and can’t really farm the heirlooms everyday for 6-7 days. So how long do I have, because if next update I’m screwed.

I just don’t understand it. It comes into my pockets so slowly. I need a simple method that dosent involve me standing at the black lion trading post for 5 hours but I will if I have too. I’m open to all methods so please teach master for I need gold!!!!

darkace.8925:

I firmly believe ArenaNet has stretched their resources so thin trying to maintain the bi-monthly release schedule for the Living Story that they don’t have the resources to work on things like new races. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.

Completely false. Anet’s LS team is very small compared to the rest of the company. Many other teams are focused on balancing, marketing, and even larger more pronounced projects for the game. They are the ones who have the potential to add new professions, races, areas etc. and it’s been a year and a half since they’ve released anything. So believe it or not the company isn’t spreading it’s resources thin at all, it’s your pop that makes it look kitten. LS is what sets up the lore and explanation for the larger updates to come up.

Ok don’t forget that Scarlets plan is to dig up whatever she finds under LA. The lye line is going to be used for something and whatever it is you guarantee it’s going to cause a lot of problems all around LA, including the Dominion. So if the refugees don’t open there gates Scarlets drilling and her use for the ley line could open their gates, wether they want to or not.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

What if the attack on Lion’s Arch doesn’t open their doors… but closes them tighter?

Sylvari, charr, asura, human, and norn are all invading Lion’s Arch. The tengu are studying whom they can ally with… what if t heir thought is “if they cannot unify their own race, how can we expect them to ally with other races like us?”

But a thousand refugees standing outside your get is a real game changer.

Sirius.4510:

I will be honest, at first I thought the OP was making fun of all the people speculating about this lately…

Maybe I am

I hope on the character customization they have different bird head models. I would love a black owl necro bird with big ominous white, pale eyes. Oh god I hope I’m right.

Idk just some speculation. Don’t forget the team that does LS is very small compared to the rest of ANet. They have a huge team behind the scenes working on larger content. I think a year is enough time to open a couple of areas ie. Dominion of Winds. And plenty of times to model our featherd friends. And I think they didn’t mention a thing about tengu thus far is to simply surprise us just how they stopped showing us the patch notes a week earlier. It builds suspense and surprise. And also the fact that the character slot expander, the xp booster, and the crafting booster are all free or discounted prices at the end of LS part 1 when it’s the perfect time to introduce the project they’ve been working on for over a year, leaves me HIGHLY suspicious.

So the tengu live pretty close Lions Arch. So this whole chaos with the attack leaves many people without there home so where do they run to? The Dominion of Winds theyll take us in if we help with their destroyer problem. And so my theory is that the Dominion of Winds will be the new Lions Arch. Main theory of why a new race is coming out:
1. Extra character slot expansion is on discount.
2. Free XP booster complimentary of the Trading Post
3. Free crafting booster complimentary of the Trading Post

Here we go baby! Tengu ranger with a pet Moa!!!!! EVOLUTIONNNNNN!!!!

Konig Des Todes.2086:

We have next to no historical evidence of many species of the previous rise. Who’s to say that the dragons were once a species of a previous cycle – maybe not the last, but perhaps the one before? Or the one before that? Perhaps even the very first appearance of the Elder Dragons, however long ago it was.

Well the eldest race we have any lore of were the giganticus lupicus who I believe were the survivors of the awakening before the last one(seers, dwarves, forgotten, jotun, mursaat) But I’m not quite sure.

Which seems to imply that she means to use this poison against us. First she lets us find a cure, and then she makes the poison resistant to that cure. Makes perfect sense.[/quote]

Which makes perfect sense, we though we found the cure and now that she’s changed it to be immune to our own cure we powerless to stop her from correcting whatever she injects.

Oh my god vol how….

Also my bad on saying the ED themselves aren’t intellegent. That was false information.

Continue with your ideas everyone. Give me your thoughts and concerns.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

As a side note, why would Menzies want to bring back Abaddon? Wouldn’t Menzies be more interested in becoming a god himself?

Also:

Please remember the difference between Abbadon and Abaddon.

Sorry at the time i wrote this, i was on my iPad and the autocorrect kept fixing Abaddon to something else where Abbadon wasn’t corrected and i didnt want to have to continuosly change every time. It was a quality of life sort of thing.

Kalarchis.8635:

Okay without the attitude this time (sorry snark is one of my vices):

Have you found anything in game that suggests that Dhuum or Menzies might be involved? I ask out of honest curiosity. I’d also love to get more lore on the Six Gods and including either of those two would be a great way to do it.

Well the only thing that kinda sparked my idea was the eye seen in her chamber. From what I can tell is that we havent seen anything resembling that as of now in Lore. This makes me think that it isnt an Elder Dragon as most would assume. Secondly, the Elder Dragons cant corrupt the sylvari and the goes the same for Scarlet. So she is being driven insane, could this be an elder dragon? Maybe. But i doubt this as well. Third, as ive noted the gods have seemingly abandoned Tyria. Which could possibly acount that Grenth is no longer in the underworld maintaining Dhuum. With this, again, one can conclude that Dhuum’s strength is increasing allowing him eventually break free of his prison or drive Scarlet insane for his own plan. Thats where this whole idea has came from, nothing in game related sorry but Lore-wise its definetly possible.

Judge Banks.9018:

Pencil and notepad, because this game still doesn’t have classes.

Profession wouldn’t fit wise guy, ta-at!

If you could choose one weapon for you class it currently doesn’t have what would it be?
Ele- sword
Mesmer- pistol main hand
Warrior- spear? On land….
Guardian- short bow
Necro- great sword
Engineer- tie between mace and hammer
Ranger- mh dagger
Thief- mace idk…

Infamous Darkness.3284:

despite all of this though it seems that the elder dragons are at least somewhat intelligent, I base most of this assumption off of the fact that immediately when Kralkatorrik awoke it immediately knew that glint had betrayed him and went to dispatch her, also

“When fighting against Kralkatorrik, Snaff had wrestled the Elder Dragon with his mind, managing to control its body. However, due to Logan Thackeray leaving the group before the battle, Snaff was poorly defended and was eventually killed by Kralkatorrik’s minions before the Elder Dragon could be killed. His death and the circumstances surrounding it are the primary reasons for the splintering of Destiny’s Edge. " seems to show that even if elder dragons aren’t brilliant they have a mind and thus can think for themselves? /shrug

That’s what I’ve been wondering as well. Guess we gotta wait till one talks to us lol.

Yet, we’ve had Zhaitan that’s done plans and tactics when it came to attacking The Pact. And we have no evidence saying that a god can contain or manipulate an elder dragon.

But that wasn’t necessarily Zhaitan. Those were his minions and champions that schemed. The elder dragons themselves aren’t very smart and thus their champions to a lot of the planning. However, I never said a god has the power to contain and elder dragon, but if it isn’t an elder dragon and is something completely different, this entity has very strong confidence that it can deal with the elder dragons

Out of interest, why aren’t Elder Dragons smart?

Well the elder dragons themselves are seen as simply a force of nature. They are like and earthquake or a hurricane, you know they will happen but cannot be stopped. This is to say that the elder dragons themselves aren’t evil. They simply wake when magic is overflowing Tyria and sleep when it has been consumed. Then magic slowly seeps back. Much like the predator exclusion act. The more this is of one food source the more likely it will be eaten by a predator. This means the elder dragons know one thing. Consume all magic. The true intelligence when it comes to armies and attacks relating to the corrupted falls upon the champions of the elder dragon. They act as their lieutenants for war. The best analogy I can come up with: the elder dragons are a ticking hydrogen bomb, bound to explode eventually, where the champions are it’s protectors and the they command the squads (corrupted: branded, destroyer, etc.)

@zamalek

Exactly, I feel their taking thus LS into a huge twist. Their purposely leading us astray thinking her goal is to go the dragons when in reality it’s something completely different. For example, the voice torturing Scarlett is a obviously magical entity that’s using her for part of his/hers plans. (Images of death, destruction, and destiny.) If these plans do involve th ED it would have to be someone who could contain or manipulate them such as Dhuum or Menzies. Everyone’s, crying out dragon, when in fact dragons can corrupt but they do not plan themselves. Their as simple as a force of wind or rain. Yet, however, whose to say it could just be a ED champion that’s corrupting Scarlett. But the eye seen in her secret lab seems symbolic of something much darker then that. Which really makes me feel like its Dhuum.

Copy and pasted this from my forum: Usurped by Grenth long ago, Grenth absorbed Dhuums power and thus locked him away. However, Dhuum gets his power from every death in the underworld. With this Dhuum constantly escapes from Grenth’s prison and must be defeated and put back in his place. (Grenth doesn’t poses the power to destroy Dhuum) Yet the gods have been gone for a while, so one can assume that Dhuum’s power has began to reach the point to when he can escape yet again. So Dhuum could maybe plan to revive Abaddon and Allie with with Menzies and thus target the current gods especially (Grenth, Balthazar, and Kormir). Scarlets drill could be used to pry the ED out of the ground then use her deadly neurotoxin from the Tower of Nightmares to maybe incapacitate the ED then with Scarlets technology she absorbs the dragons power and returns to revive abaddon or strengthen Dhuum. idk this is just my theory with no evidence. For some reason people think you needed in game evidence to post something in an open forum.

Well I’m not to sure about this but check the Guild Wars wiki on him it says he’s an elementalist and almost remember something when I played that game long ago that made think that before I checked the wiki.

Really loving all the sleuthing and theorycrafting in this thread. You people are awesome.

i don’t assume you could give an end to our journal date conundrum, could you? not even a hint? :P

You’ll actually find your answer in the game soon.

Translation: We’ll get our answer with Edge of the Mists, that comes next week.

Neek.9531:

Well the only thing I can think of is the Abbadon was an elementalist. He’s dead but whose to say he can’t revived

…Abaddon wasn’t an elementalist.

There’s a common misconception that people believe the gods are the profession for which they’re the patron deity for.

Elementalists, however, don’t have a single patron deity. Certainly not Abaddon, who did not control all elements – just water. His magical “Devoted” in his temple are mostly mesmers (with some thief and necromancy here /there). I don’t think there was a single elementalist among them.

Oh I know Elementalist’s don’t have a patron god but the elements themselves, I was saying that in game (Guild Wars) Abaddon is scripted as an Elementalist. Just like how Dhuum is a Dervish.

BrunoBRS.5178:

i think you’re missing the point of this forum… suit yourself.

I could say the same for you. Ta-ta!

BrunoBRS.5178:

if you can’t handle criticism, you shouldn’t post. “discussion” involves pointing out the bad as much as the good.

and a “theory” requires some basis to lead to speculation. saying scarlet had too much candy corn on mad king’s day and that’s what caused her to go crazy isn’t a theory. it’s wild conjecture.

so what i suggest you to do is to stop bashing people that are pointing out the flaws in your post, and instead look up for something to back it up.

You see I have no problem with criticism, i did have a problem with his attitude. I spent a good hour writing up, thinking, and looking up the lore to write this forum. Wether its possible or not doesn’t matter. I could make a post on Abadons favorite places to R an R in Lore and discussion. It has to do nothing with anything as long as it pertains to lore. Last time I checked, I saw that in my post I mentioned Dhuum, Menzie, Abbadon, ED, current gods, Scarlette, etc. Their all in lore and thus I can talk about. And guess what I don’t, I don’t need a shred of evidence to justify it. What’s that eye in her lair? Idk but I doubt it’s a ED. So I can conjure up any path as I see fight with or without in game evidence if you want facts go find them yourself I much rather let my imagination think of things on your own.

Changed the title of the thread you can leave now.

For the last time no this is a theory, something I though and it’s more then possible. You don’t like don’t come into the thread simple as that.

Psynch.4087:

The Priory Scholar Ela (in the L.A. recap instance) makes a big deal about Scarlet collecting alliances that compose the 4 major elements related to elementalists. I haven’t heard anyone try to tie this aspect into their frameworks.

How does this fit in?

Well the only thing I can think of is the Abbadon was an elementalist. He’s dead but whose to say he can’t revived

Kalarchis.8635:

Okay, so, what evidence do you have from the game to back up either Dhuum or Menzies? I see a lot of wanton speculation, but I don’t see any “I found X and Y in game and that points to Dhuum.”

Let’s remember that this is a game about dragons. Note also that Scarlet’s lair has a big red dragon painted on the ceiling and what appears to be a dragon’s eye posted all over. Note also that she has a giant drill and a giant robot, which one might use to reach and then combat a subterranean dragon. Note again that her thumpers were noted by Taimi to be searching for something…something underground.

Now for our final exercise, can you think of any red elder dragons that reside underground? Because I sure can.

Speculation is fun, but I’m here to put together the dots.

First of all roll back the attitude. Second there’s no proof of anyone’s ideas were all just speculating. Fact she has a giant drill. Fact She has a picture of a dragon. But you can only SPECULATE what she plans to do with said drill. She’s also shows plans on attacking lions arch and all three priories. why all these targets you may ask? You don’t know. I don’t know. We can only SPECULATE. This is a game about dragons out of the hundreds of bosses I can only think 4-5 that are actually dragons of significance. Now for our final exercise please show me where I said this was going to happen I said Theory, you understand that word? I though of this on my own and would assume its a Possibility. Gods have been gone for a while. Dhuum is growing stronger FACT. So he’s bound to break out eventually. Any more questions?

Infamous Darkness.3284:

For your Alt. Theory
perhaps Razah could take this position as we know he is a creature created from the mists and abbadon had special plans to use him for, as a demonic like creature he may be immortal (in the sense that he will never age)

Hmmm interesting I’ve completely forgotten about Razah and the fact he’s a physical manifestation of the mists in a demonic-human form. Perhaps Abbadons plan for Razah was a soul link magic kinda thing where a little Abbadon is still left in Razah. So technically he’s dead but a little of his essence is within Razah. just enough to stay hidden and be revived. Hmmm seems like a stretch but I mean that would be a huge flip.

Xukavi.4320:

I brought up the idea of Dhuum and Menzies being the reason behind Scarlet when she went into the experiment. If you like we could continue that discussion in the Thoerycrafting about Scarlet as to make all discussion about possibilities for Scarlet unified in one thread.

Yes I love the thread you started. And when I was researching more info on Dhuum and Menzies I came across some curios info that I will post on your thread soon.

So with the recent patch we are told that when Scarlet dove into the mists something had slowly began to torment her. She’s had recurring nightmares that have told her of scheme’s and driven her into insanity. Now I have 3 main ideas as to who this could be. But first,

NOT Abbadon: When we defeated abbadon we fought him alongside Kormir in the mist. When we won Kormir absorbed his entire being, not just his powers like Grenth did to Dhuum. She absorbed his entire existence into her herself this ending his further intervention in the plot impossible. (However this story isn’t real and the lore writers could come up with many ways to revive abbadon. Hey! The brought back Brian from Family Guy. But this is highly unlikely.)

Dhuum: Usurped by Grenth long ago, Grenth absorbed his power and thus locked Dhuum away. However, Dhuum gets his power from every death in the underworld. With this Dhuum constantly escapes from Grenth’s prison and must be defeated and put back in his place. (Grenth doesn’t poses the power to destroy Dhuum) Yet the gods have been gone for a while, so one can assume that Dhuum’s power has began to reach the point to when he can escape yet again. So when Scarlet went into the mist Dhuum plans to use her to distract Tyrian while Dhuum attacks the gods (Allied by Menzies shadow army?)

Menzies:The evil half brother of Balthazar shows animosity torwards the current gods by making an alliance with Dhuum and Abbadon, yet as of now we have never seen him or know his true intentions. We simply know he is allied with the other fallen gods. He, being the only one whose current whereabouts unknown, might plan to help Dhuum escape and either Revive Abaddon and all three attack the gods along with Scarlets minions or simply break Dhuums bonds and return into hiding. (Idk)

Alt. theory: The tormentor of scarlet could be one of Abbadons highest minion that attempts to use dragon magic to revive the fallen god of secrets. (Really unlikely)

All pieces together: I believe that either Menzies and Dhuum are driving Ceara(Scarlet) insane to help break Dhuum’s bonds of divine magic. Once done in combination of Dhuums power and forces, Menzies power and forces, Scarlett’s power and forces, and perhaps the utility of dragon magic they will attempt to revive Abbadon. When they succeed they will rip the six current gods from where ever they are and attempt to slay them and return to the godly state. (The gods are no more immune to magic then humans are and scarlet could use dragon magics of Primordus for example to revive Abbadon and/or attack human gods.) we as the citizens of tyria are in grave danger must rally extra forces. All five races and the tengu (new race available) must not only fight Scarlett but an Elder Dragon, Dhuum(his reapers), Menzies(his shadow army from th Fissure of Woe) ,and Abbadon(or just minions). Talk about a final battle for LS part one :p.

This will never happen: Before Abbadon was a god their was another that was in his place. We know nothing about him/her and this is their moment to strike and assume power :p. This unknown Fallen has waited very long for the moment to strike and has been veiled behind the shadows of the mists long forgotten even by the current gods. With no one suspecting this unknown entity has planned with Scarlet and allied itself with Dhuum and Menzies.

7/10 not bad it’s a good Astra name but I’m not to fond of it my self.

Asuran elementalist: Zepdo

Here’s me theory: The pale tree while it was a seed was meant to be a champion of the jungle elder dragon, however the tablets between the human And the centaur somehow broke the corruption of the pale tree and gave it free will. The pale tree is unique because it is the only know tree that births Sylvari that are against dragons. The Sylvari not from the pale tree dosen’t show any incentive to stop the Elder Dragons. I believer this is because the Pale tree had her orders from the Jungle ED and when it was released from the corruption, she wanted to stop the destruction from the ED much like Glint. So infancy when Scarlett travelled through the mists and and the dream she saw the Pale Trees true goal and wanted to fulfill without the Pale Trees blessing. The thumper turrets could be used somehow to use the Ley lines to either hit roots underground of the Jungle ED or of the pale tree to awaken/ recorrupt the pale tree
