I really doubt there are more than 6 dragons. For one thing, the view of the eternal alchemy that we saw ourselves awash in in one of the cinematics clearly show – 6 dragons. Another is there also seems a suggestion that there’s one dragon for each of the six gods, although that might be reading too much into it. Regardless I think we have exactly 6, or five now with zhaitan gone.

True, although they never said dragons, the orbs could actually be a vision of anything (on the topic of gods, perhaps the 6 returning or the orb going in, one dying, forcing the return of the others). I agree dragons is most likely though

Dante.1763:

Except, the current emperor(or was it the one before, i forget) of cantha is so xenophobic that he forced the Tengu to leave the country, so maybe he wouldnt trade anywho.

Plus, even with the death of Zhaitan id imagine the fleet that blocked off the trade routes is still out there and has yet to be eliminated!

Then we get a story about strangeness of risen still being stron

I love pact commander evil! Being the PC, it would be tricky to add play time, but honestly that’s such a good story I wouldn’t care if it was mostly cutscenes. They could add more playtime by saying his grasp on you is weak, and you can periodically break free. Also makes the dragons even MORE dangerous

To clarify this Cantha solves the problem of China (while still letting ppl go back) because all the people are dead or turned, and the buildings are wrecked so it’s hard to tell if it’s racist or not cause it’s all gone.

Now before you read this remember Anet has done an EXCELLENT job of keeping the story open, especially after the EDs.

So I was looking at the world map (wiki the world, the whole world not the in game map) and I thought “Yea, our known world has the most magic likely due to highest population, but it seems odd that ALL (maybe not Bubs idk) of the dragons are going there. Shouldn’t at least one of them best smart enough to realize it can feed on the lesser magic while the others are elsewhere, thus that magic is enough?” Then I realized: There probably ARE dragons doing that. WE have such a tiny fraction of the world, there could be a dozen more feeding in low magic areas, but high enough for a single dragon. One that especially strikes me is Cantha. They couldn’t trade because of Zhaitain, but something happened, what was it.. oh yea, he died. So why, in 3 years, have they not returned? Surely they need trade… unless they discovered a new civilization on the northen side of the Tyrian supercontinent (which is close to Cantha as the map wraps like real life), and there’s another story boom. But what I like better is (and this solves the China whatever thing that was) is something like Guild Wars 2: Lost Civilization (or continent, or lands of whatever but cool name!). And we kill all the dragons and after a break kinda look around and go “Hey, it’s been 10 years since Zhaitan died why hasn’t Cantha come back?” We go there, find a 7th dragon that destroyed Cantha since they couldn’t come together like us, and then we realized there may be an 8th and more so boom we’ve got a reason to get the whole world. And of course on the way (or the main story can change any time) we can have epic new stuff like just more and more and more lore and new races, and even new civilizations. Think about how IRL North and South America were oblivious to the other half of the world for a long time, as was the other side to them. The same could be true for Tyria, and given how small our PC known world map is, there could even be upwards of 3 total civilizations. So anyway the point of this was to: Give some ideas to Anet, and help other realize what I did about how frigging huge the world is and how much potential!

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE!

Oh, sorry. But it’s true, that bothers me too, so so much. Okay, it’s kinda unrealistic to see the whole map filled (at least in my lifetime), but, well, at least the existing part of the world shouldn’t have those weird gaps.
I’m really hoping for some cool little filler maps (LS?)…

Yea I don’t mean the whole world (my god that map in wiki article “the world”) just what we see now

Okay well, my sentence was kinda confusing.

What I meant:
Whole map = the Tyria map we see now ingame
existing part of the world = the maps we can enter – this should be like a growing ball, getting extended by new maps, AND without strange gaps in between.

ok and I agree either do fun weird maps for LW or don’t leave gaps plz!

DoctorDing.5890:

The original Matrix was perfect but that made the residents unhappy. Consequently we now have the slightly flawed version so we have something to be OCD about.
Try not to think about all those gaps being service access tunnels for the map overseers.
Do you think that is air that you’re breathing?

huh? I don’t speak matrix srry

thank you

fellyn.5083:

I don’t know if it’s unfinished or not but it’s blatantly obvious the grind for elites (when the cost was 400 hp) was padding the content and that’s it.

I’ll never buy kitten expansion from Anet again. Not unless it’s the size of at least Nightfall. We got $25-30 worth of content at best.

Now I’m not saying I hate HoTs, I love playing the revenant, it’s breathed some new life back into the game for me but that doesn’t excuse how little content there actually is in the expansion.

h

They said up front for a long time this would be their smallest expansion ever as they’re setting up new features to expand on later. It’s not so much a flat content thing as feature rich. After this xpac, all the major features of the game (except maybe on or two sometimes for a real change idk Mounts cough) xpacs later will haz moar. So that should at least make you feel better about map size.

from a player who mainly PVEs – how do I get those at all?

Zoltreez.6435:

the only way they could fill every single speace on the map that also makes sense if they remove zone instancing and also implement flying.

but non of them is realy possible or seriously hard thx to the events in zones etc.

I’d love flying! Why are oddly shaped zones so impossible they’d have to remove zone instancing?

#1: LOL NICE!

#2: seriously this bothers me!

last one look at how because Fields Of Ruin goes farther than Blazeridge Steppes, we’ll need a very unique zone! Also I did notice with both HoT and FoR that there is a line going across the whole map that will probably not be mapped so they can zoom out or whatever internal reason, and that doesn’t bother my ocd as much. Like a little bit forming a square around the map that for some reason doesn’t get mapped, but just map the rest every inch plz. You guys said (I forgot where srry) that you wanted to map this WHOLE (emphasis on whole) current map if nothing else. Well the square is for style or mechanics whatever that actually looks pretty good but the rest! okie I’m repeating myself now

morecharrsforthewin

sorry to ask, but I’ve been playing for checks / age 252 days, and my ocd has been poking the back of my head since day one. The odd shapes in between existing maps. Will you ever creat strangely shaped maps to fill in every single inch of the world? Given how every map has a nice square of rectangle (a few rare maps have a gap that juts in or out granted), so it concerns me greatly that we may never get something like say a rectangle with lines shooting out to fill the area to the east of tangled depths and the little bits above and below. I personally think it’s a wonderful formula to have as many maps as possible (premium xpac maps first right?) be nicely shaped, and then less important maps or LW ones be weird shapes. There’s no evidence Anet won’t do that, but I am a little worried. If you don’t want to say, could you PM me or something Anet? This bothers me… look at the gaps in the existing regions! and there are several comments since I don’t know how to post several pics in one post. LOOK AT THE STANGE CIRCLE BETWEEN AURIC BASIN, TANGLED DEPTHS, AND GILDED HOLLOW! the worst of all!

Elefantos.2537:

I imagine all the plants of Tyria would scream at once.

It’s as if a thousand roots reached out and were suddenly burned

(sorry if this stuff is answered, I haven’t been able to tune in to these streams)

What’s your plan for adding new halls in the future? Will we only see new ones with expansions, or will they also come out in LW releases, or even on their own? Will we get lore explanations that ties into the larger story? Will we get any story for the halls? Also, will the halls occupy space on the world map or will they be more like dungeons?
TY

spooktacular!

WHYYY

is that whole new thing the raid map?! So we would actually be getting 5 maps cause that’s huge!

THANK YOU

D: going to cry in my corner

makin me feel bad where can I see it

link plz where can I watch I can’t be on twitch

no it is on youtube or GW2 site or something

if I buy an instrument, which one is best? Easiest to play songs (or tunes of songs) on for someone with no musical talent/knowledge?

They said the voice of Jennah would be RETURNING! So she’s in HoT story at some point……..

so I just missed getting one more stack for double blooms this last invasion and it made me realize I can’t take this. I don’t want to farm for a whole weeked and PROBABLY get enough for gear I SHOULD be buy with gems!!! I have a life, and I’d rather not farm for 20 hours! I’m just wondering if I skip the rest of this terrible event, when will the toxic gear reappear? been waiting for MONTHS and does it come back to the store like I planned? NO, it just had to be some horrible something. I would RATHER give MONEY to you Anet! I expected to buy this gear, not farm for it, and you are losing $10 and making a player extremely unhappy.

When I go to talk to the Tengu Hayato near the hero challenge in Caledon near the Dominion door, instead of saying this area is off limits he says this aerie… This is a typo right?

I found a bug in the hero challenge in Wychmire Swamp in Caledon Forest. When the veteran spawns, she does the taunt, but the laugh is male, when she is clearly a female

Guardian of Angels.9867:

are you NA or EU?

I’m sorry what does that mean o_o

I got the quiver just waiting for toxic gear now and PLEASE LOWER THE FRICKING GOLD TO GEMS PRICE OMG I get demand is higher but for a group of complaining people you sure do want the stuff enough to break the economy

Aeromu.9134:

Because of our long standing community, you will find that it is an atmosphere where everyone knows each other and learns to play well as a well oiled machine, hence the name Synergy.

•Focus on Living Story achievements
•Two dedicated teams for Raiding
•Chance to play with friendly players
•Structured PvP teams
•Active TeamSpeak
•Strong leadership with two PvE officers and two PvP officers to back up our leader.
•Scheduled events including Dungeons such as high end fractals and the like.
•Assistance with farming legendary items.

•Officer positions available for:

PvE – with a focus on dungeons/raids
WvW – need experienced commanders

What we expect
•18 and up preferably
•Have a working Mic and TeamSpeak preferred

To join or if you have any questions feel free to PM myself or one of our officers listed below.

Guild Leader and Officers :
•Aeromu.9134
•Brawson.4701
•Archdruidess.5143

This sounds really good, except I’m not 18 and thus am not allowed to use teamspeak or any of those sorts of things

I’m looking for a guild that’s considerably large, large enough to have plenty of people for guild halls on at a given time. Also wanting helpful, friendly people, not the guilds where if you don’t show up for the mission you’re out, or no one talks in guild chat. So basically a pretty large guild of active, friendly, helpful players (I know I basically just said give me a perfect guild lol but hey just seeing if anyone can help)

It won’t be announced in time

So after the 10 days (now 7) is the sale going to end completely? or will those items go away and new ones appear for the remaining 11 days? In other words, in 7 more days if the items I want haven’t appeared is all hope lost and I should buy something else or is there a chance it will be in the next round, if there is one?

Hello I just wanted to ask Anet if the Toxic gloves and shoulders, or Rox’s quiver will be returning for this celebration. I need to know whether or not to add $20 cough

Toxic gear and Rox’ quiver or else.

Yea it’s your fault for not playing because you used to play is it my fault for not searching for a new game? was it my fault for not hearing about this game AND deciding to play it?

Is it supposed to magically be someone else’s fault? Their were (bad) ads for it on TV. There was tons of hyping on all the gaming news sites. There are dedicated MMO sites that were talking about it for months, even years before release. There were huge pre-order campaigns at game stores around the world. The fact that the game existed was easy to come by, so why didn’t you? Was there a conspiracy to deny you the joy and wonder that is Guild Wars 2?

Not trying to be a total jerk here, but yes, in as much as it is anyone’s fault, it is definitely your fault.

Sorry I was a game hermit a few years ago. The only conspiracy was I had the best game ever but it shut down and I’m old enough to play this now.

If your just now old enough to play a game rated T(for teens), getting stuff in a virtual world is your least concern. Go out and live life and not worry about missing out on stuff.

Edit: Oh and work hard in school XD

I know lol but when I do play I don’t want to be depressed by the thought that no matter how hard I try I can never get this or that. It’s simply depressing, somewhat even if I don’t want the item, just that kind of thinking

Sina.9208:

Wish list:

-Fused weapons making a return, reasonable price.
-Marjory/Kasmeer weapons
-Bunny ears
-Royal Terrace Pass

Mine is

-Toxic shoulders and gloves

-Rox’ Quiver

Dear Securities and Exchange Commission:

I missed out on investing in Apple, Coca-Cola and AT&T at their IPO. I don’t feel I should be punished. Please allow me to invest in these companies at their IPO price and immediately gain the benefits and value of historic stock appreciation.

XOXO

I’m not asking for an invest with Anet I just want another chance at this stuff

It’s not arenanet’s fault you didnt buy the game 3 years ago and played it activily

and this is coming from someone who got the game at launch and only played for a month(personal stuff) then hasnt played till about 2 months ago. I’m not complaining about all the skins, sales, and living seasons i missed(just bought LS2). I understand it’s my own fault for not playing.

Amen. If new player chose not to buy the game whenever it came out 3 years ago it’s their fault not arena nets and therefore is completely and utterly fair.

What if new player didn’t KNOW the game was out?

Corran.4957:

You are not being punished as a new player. Anyone that missed it is in the same position but it was literally a part of the actual world and did not run on instances like LS2. They were developing how they were going to do things as the game grew which meant that sometimes they would do something and would be unable to go back to it.

LS1 is not the only case of this. Super Adventure Box was a great addition but they literally were bugging their own game in order to be able to release that. Now that they made so many changes to the engine they are unable to bring it back without significant re-working. Do you think they would have done it this way (with the promise that it will return thus selling infinate coin on Gem store), if they had the foresight to realise that in the future they would make it completely inaccessable without major reworks?

Nope, they wouldnt. There be huge work to get LS1 in a manner that it can be played. Hell some of it required more then a group to get through some areas of the real world.

EVERY mmorpg has events that last only a period and had rewards that were only available for that period… are you bitter about the halloween and christmas events not being available now as well? It the same thing. Rewards and Achievements and story available only for a limited period.

Sorry you missed out, and sorry you cant get what you want. But it like this in all games and will never change. Just be thankful they decided to make season 2 different (and imo less impactful in many ways), in order to allow it to be replayed.

I’m not bitter about the holiday ones because they’re coming back

Mini wall of text, but the words scattered about in all caps give it appeal.

+1
would +2 if i could be certain you were sarcastic.

OP: LS is short for living story. Can you go back and revisit earlier times in your life?

…wait? you can? how? YOU MUST TELL ME! I COMMAND YOU TO TELL ME!

Then why can I still play season two?

As was pointed out, they were trying something new. They weren’t entirely sure where they were going with the entire thing over the course of the years, and they later on decided that going back to replay things would be great, essentially in living Story season 2.

Once they decided that, it was too late to go back to season 1. Especially considering the fact that season 1 saw Lion’s Arch destroyed and season 2 having it rebuilt, it would be exceptionally difficult to simply insert all of that back in. A lot of LS1 was open world content and not instanced content

In other words, what you’re asking it is very far from trivial. That being the case, they have already said they would like to be able to make that happen if possible. They’re just not sure if it will be.

I understand I’m mainly asking to show my support of the idea and to properly word the unfairness.

The elders are Yoda, Gandalf, and Bob.

Fenom.9457:

as for the general ideas, I suspect HoT release date and announcement of next xpac or at least they’ll be doing xpacs. Some other things I suspect less but would love more than life itself: New jobs. not combat, but like someone else said, other things PERHAPS leveling through minigames. Also the crafting jobs should be turned into real things that each character can swap to and level, just cause so much more fun and it would enable leveling them in other and more fun ways. Or at least more crafting jobs? I want job swapping on one character, but as for the main professions, if they stay one per character I could live with it. Other than that I want mounts (poison dragon ftw), and more info on future xpacs, especially the land, story, and playable races…
