Prepare yourself to have your faith shattered completely, (insert evil laugh here)
Through the logic that a painting of a dragon automatically points to an Elder Dragons, Cantha is already a bastion of Elder Dragon Power for the empire that rules that land is called….The Empire of the Dragon.
Sorry to disappoint you, but Arena Net likes refencing real-world stuff. Asian ‘dragon’ is something else. It is often a kind of title of the emperor, or rather an epithet. It may be the reference, or intentional use of that ‘dragon’ epithet. Think harder before posting, bro. Plus dragons, as it seems, exist in this universe, aside from dem Elder Dragons. Problem, officer?
Honestly that dragon painting in Scarlet’s lair, atleast to me, looks more like a grawl painting. It has more “grawl” style to it than any other painting styles we see in-game.
I mean all scribblings, oops sorry I meant paintings, by Scarlet look like something a 3yr old would draw while the dragon painting had more, should I say, flair to it. For all we know Scarlet just drove some grawl out of their caves with the help of her minions and took over the place.
And geez, it’s a game. No need to “lose faith in humanity” over a player’s speculation. I mean I have been hearing “Sylvari are dragon minions” theory for over a year and a lot of regulars must’ve debunked it 1000 times (no. of times they should’ve lost faith in humanity) by now. There’s nothing “inhumane” in speculating over a game’s lore.
Honestly, when I look at people who have no drawing skills whatsoever, their works all look to me like ‘grawl painting’. It requires talent and skill to draw properly, and if you have no – you will always stuck somewhere in 3 years old level. Just because you don’t have the talent and wasn’t taught/self taught.
And geez, I am just adding irony to my messages. Why do you take forum posts so serious?
Whilst it’s exciting and promising, Anet did say that after Season 1 of the LS they’d take a break(which would be longer than 2 weeks at the minimum to be considered a break, but I’d wager a couple of months) and hit with a large feature patch. That is(hopefully) the sort of patch that could bring content as big as a new race. Having said that, it doesn’t really make sense to have it discounted now unless they intended to have it on discount for the next few months…
Yes, and the next patch after the last (which comes in two weeks and three days) with Living World story should be on 18 of March, because they promise big changes at that point.
Colin Johanson: Due to the size and scope of the final four story releases in season one, the next round of major features will be bundled together into a large “feature only” release that will come after the first season of the Living World 2014 has finished.
I so far haven’t seen a confirmation of a month. I mean, Season 1 is slated to end in March(March 4th should be date of the last release if they follow the fortnightly schedule). I’d be mighty impressed if they released anything further in March.
Here you go:
Hello Tyria,
In the Player vs. Player Rewards Roadmap, we discussed how glory will be retired as a currency and we assured you that we would give advance warning as to when that would happen so you’d know how much time was left to finish up your goals. This post is to let you know that glory will no longer be awarded as of a maintenance build that is currently planned for March 18. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/phasing-out-pvp-glory/
That’s two releases, not one, as mentioned in quote you gave us. Plus there was a speculation about new elite skills. Makes one wonder…
EDIT: got it all wrong, you’re right. That will be maintenance patch, on 18th of March.
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.
Right now Tengu use the same skeleton that’s used on Charr models. They will obviously make a new one, with same level of customisation options, if they are making them playable.
The more I read about these ‘theories’, the more I lose trust in humanity. Come on, it’s a game about dragons. With a dragon on the logo. Then comes painting in Scarlet’s lair, mind you, it’s a giant dragon, all the hints in her journal. What makes you ignoring these facts?
The game’s title is Guild Wars yet we don’t see story content concerning wars between guilds now do we. Just because the Elder Dragons are in the world doesn’t mean everything has to be connected to them. Especially every psychopath that decides to cause trouble. The story would become quite stale in a short period. In fact the only mention of actual wars between guilds in the original guild wars story was things that occurred in the past.
Also there are flaws in the “Elder Dragons” hypothesis that those who are supporting said hypothesis are ignoring.
It’s called Guild Wars 2 for a reason, and reason is because it is in the same universe, that Guild Wars and add-on campagns were in. And as a sequel, it should retain the name, to avoid confusing players. I really lose faith in humanity right now.
Of course there are flaws, geez. People make their theories and hypothesis based on small portions of information they have. Obviously, they have not all information, so they might be wrong about something, and these theories evolved as Living World story made progress. Now it is getting more and more obvious, because we are, in fact, reaching the culmination of the first chapter.
The more I read into the theories, the less I’m convinced she’s related to the Dragons. My original theory for Scarlet, was that she wanted to become something close to a god (or goddess). Her ego, her love for creating and tinkering, and her stubborness to accept the Dream and its linked Destiny, all seem to point toward it. Problem with that theory, is that her journal seems to suggest that she was already ‘being affected’ by something else on the inside, before she even met Omadd. (And yet, the pages spell out his name…something guided her to him, or just forged evidence to lead us astray?)

And the fact pages spell out his name – it doesn’t suggest what you said. It all seems to be an unfortunate chain of events. Or a destiny, implying this happens in a kittening fantasy world.
No, he is clearly not a(n active) member. He is an emissary from Rata Sum, and that is his main duty. The only member of Priory from Living World’s main cast (as was revealed recently) is Marjory, though she is inactive.
My assumption is that he is sleeping beneath the Pale Tree and that the Pale Tree is actually keeping him in its dormant state to prevent his actual rise.
And what suggests that Pale Tree is aboive Elder Dragon? Dude, that makes no sense. Do you even know how the seed of the Pale Tree was moved to the place where the Grove is now?
Elder Dragon is certainly not underneath the Pale Tree.
Though Pale Tree might be preventing Mordemorth from awaking, and using magic currents to do so. With that massive magic current she does not transfer to her Dragon, as a champion, she spends on creating Sylvari. Scarlet wishes to cut her off from the ley line that transfers the magic to the Pale Tree. Thus, making it unable to maintain The Dream of Dreams, creating new Sylvari and possibly weakening her overall. With that in mind, she can attack the tree or make it die slowly by just actions I mentioned. Redirected magic currents go straight towards Mordemorth, thus awakening him.
Yes engineers damage is pathetic compared to every class in game. Yes engineers pay a “hybrid” tax on their damage and healing because apparently engineers are the only hybrid in game. Yes the reason you see12325342 threads on engineers sucking is because compared to other classes they do. Yes if you time 37 keypresses in a specific order you can do as much damage as another class who presses 2 buttons.
Yes your survivability is less, yes elementalists can bring more utility then engineers, but are not taxed for it…and yes the engineer class design makes no sense as if it was thrown together just to get the game out in time.
Disagree. Guardian is hybrid profession as well. Engineer survivabilty is good enough, 3 seconds blocking, 3 seconds invulnerable, 3 sec invulnerable again with trait in elixirs, a lot of control.
His point with the hybrid remark was “Everyone in this game is a hybrid. Why are we the only ones getting reduced in damage for it?”
Disagree as well. In my humble opinion, only engineer and guardian can be considered hybrid profession. Maybe eles too.
