Was Ancient Karka the same as Bubbles?

As far as the destroyers are concerned; I’ve seen destroyer trolls and spiders
[…]
the destroyers appear to be corrupted creatures from the mountains (trolls and spiders.

Destroyers mimic life. And it would be crabs, not spiders.

There are “Destroyer Crab” “Destroyer Troll” and “Destroyer Harpy” models, but they’re not corrupted beings. They’re just made in mimicry of crabs, trolls, and harpies.

If you observe the destroyers carefully, though its harder for crabs, you can tell that they very much were never living creatures. No bones, skin, hair, etc. And Destroyer Harpies are actually hollow (you can only tell this when they die, at a certain angle). Other dragon minions always retain some fragment of their former bodies – even Icebrood Colossi, despite being giant blocks of ice, still contain the original skeletons that the creatures once were.

Though it was to my understanding and agreement that destroyers only mimic life, it is notable to point out that in the crucible of eternity story, trapped test subjects are somehow able to be turned into destroyers. Granted, this may simply be due to the inquest forcing exposure to dragon energies on the subjects, so whether or not it’s an isolated case is unknown. I’d assume it is though (or simply a dev oversight) .

Thoughts on Ascended Gear? [Merged threads]

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: arcqe.6734

arcqe.6734

Basically what Joiry said.

Gear progression fine. The stats aren’t that impressive anyway.

Creating gear that is a grind to get and is required to progress in any environment?

No.

To be fair, we have no way to know how much of this gear is obtained, other than the forge, but considering it’s a level above exotics, we can fairly well assume it’s going to be a large grind or a huge cost.

What in the World Are Signets? (In lore)

in Lore

Posted by: arcqe.6734

arcqe.6734

I think this [http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Skill_Gem] gives a bit of insight as to what Anet thought signets were initially, if you’re wondering

“Skills were initially conceived as being rings, explaining why a player could only bring eight skills as well as the concept of the Signet skill type (Signets are engravings on rings).”

just a bit of info, i guess.

I have never seen any information stating that the only ways to kill a troll is to burn them.

I’ve also never seen any information stating they’ll fully regenerate into a new troll if you dismember them.

Like Tuo said, they just regenerate slightly faster than other races. Beside that, nothing special has been stated about them to my knowledge.

(also, I’d like to point out regarding your sig the class is ranger, not hunter)

from what I can tell, they simply moved rare weapon skins to the forge, so that rather than doing a hard dungeon and getting nothing, you always get something, where as if you want to gamble, you can risk items in the forge for a rare skin exotic.

What if we didn't fight the dragons?

in Lore

Posted by: arcqe.6734

Glint actually turned against Kral due to her ability to see inside the mind of Kral’s enemies, and therefore became empathetic to them.

The dragons are not described as a intelligent, thinking being, but rather a force of nature. Whether or not this is true, the dragons would likely just corrupt someone before they would agree (if they could) to peace.

Why have peace with something when you have the power to stomp it out of existence?

A few corrections based on lore discovered from GW2:

1) Glint was given free will by a powerful spell the forgotten had used. This, combined with her mind-reading abilities, is what allowed her to betray Kralkatorrik.

I thought that was the case, but I was tentative on putting that there given that i couldn’t find any source to site.

Mordramoth

in Lore

Posted by: arcqe.6734

arcqe.6734

there is hinting towards an earth or plant dragon throughout the world.

consider the inquest lab itself, containing 6 rooms for the 5 dragons. The room which does not pertain to a dragon (as far as we know), ie the skillpoint room, is covered with plants and poisonous fauna.

furthermore, in the CoE itself, while the party is attacked by dragon minions, there are also husks similar to that which the nightmare court employ.

I would guess that the nightmare itself may be some sort of corruption of mordramoth, but this could be false.

all we can really do for now is speculate.
