Guild Wars 2

Doesn’t make sense for North American Servers to reset GMT+0…. everything else revolves around Arena Net time for updates, and patches (PST). Why update without letting players know and when it’s not even December yet…. “Speaking for the North American Servers”

I’m having the Same problem.

Yeah, I was working on my Karka kills as we speak, and now it reset….I just needed like 50 more… I’m on North American Servers, and it’s not December anywhere else in North America yet? Was really hoping I could get it done….

I believe that the God’s get their magic off the dragons, example, building Arah. The dragons radiate magic while in slumber, and absorb it when they awake. Likewise it’s a natural cycle that the dragons wake up and fall asleep. My thoughts is that the gods obtained power from the dragons somehow when they were mere mortals and used it to their advantage. After hearing witnessed accounts of the dragons destruction and what it brings from a previous cycle, they disappear and hide in the mist to hopefully not lose their power.

This also goes back to another theory about humanity and that it’s origin is from south of Cantha and not another planet. Coming to Tyria was them coming to the continent Tyria. I also saw someone post an excerpt from The Orrian History Scrolls that I read awhile back in game and never really thought anything of it until now.

While the other gods focused on building Arah and beginning a new future, Lyssa gave them joy and helped them forget the past. …….When the building of Arah was completed Lyssa was commanded to join the other gods, though her tears fell like rain among the western road.

Another question I have is
First, what is so bad about the gods past/origin that Lyssa had to cheer them up and help them move on. Did they slaughter creatures for godhood, all I know is it must be really bad, or a hard decision.
Second, why was Lyssa COMMANDED to join the other gods in Arah. Were they hiding something we don’t know about?

Let me know what you guys think. Have a great day >:)

I don’t know why, but i feel like the Wizard’s Folly Tower from Ascalon Pre-Searing, the Wizard’s Tower in Garenhoff and The Eye of the North have the same origins, or have been constructed by the same race/person.
Those 3 Towers have always made me want to know more about them!

I was thinking the same exact thing. Did we ever figure out the origin of EotN? I could have sworn it was jotun.

This is all I could find.

The origin of the Eye of the North is so ancient it has been lost to even the wisest skaald, the cultural storytellers of the Norn. Currently, the massive structure has become a base of operations for a group of Ascalonian expatriates known as the Ebon Vanguard, who plan and execute raids against the Charr from within the safety of its walls

I am having the same issue, can’t “Learn more”.

Don’t get me wrong I loved the make-over feature in the first game and used it alot and see myself using this one aswell, I just feel as if there were more important issues out there than changing my headband from green to blue.

You DO realize that there are multiple teams working on multiple issues in A-Net right? You DO realize that they have openly stated that there is an ENTIRE team dedicated to that issue alone right? You DO realize that it may not be a quick and easy fix right? You DO realize that there are people who specialize in new implementations and people who specialize in fixing old implementations and they can’t always do eachother’s jobs right? You DO realize that trying to make them do so would be like trying to get a CAD Artist to do an Auto Mechanic’s job right? You DO realize that you sound like a child right?

Nope, was just confused, I’m not in the industry so I wouldn’t know how it all works,. I’m just sharing my concerns and experiences, that’s what I thought the forums are for. If anyone sounds upset, it’s you, have a good day.

Still confused why this feature was released before one of the biggest bugs still hasn’t been fixed, Fractal Disconnections…

@mercury ranique.2170 yeah I could see a Seer as maybe a origin speculation, but not the recent owner in the second game. (Garrenhoff)

Tried helping my guildies doing 6 runs + the maw, I dc’ed on the last boss on the sixth dungeon.

I swear this is like the 5th time this has happened to me. EVERY TIME I have done this dungeon this past week I get lost connection to the server before the maw. It is not my connection because I was still talking on teamspeak 3 and could access my browser.

almostdaft.4319:

it doesn’t take a level 80 Guardian to admit that their ranged weapons, the Scepter and Staff, are not the best tools in the game.

Um…..Scepter/Torch is the highest output dps for guardian, more than the greatsword. It’s also amazing for range.

almostdaft.4319:

I wield a Greatsword accompanied by a Mace and Shield, specing directly into a complete set of gear focusing on Power, Vit. , and Toughness.

If you are using mace and shield which is the best support set as guardian make healing your primary, toughness, vit, then precision.

The greatsword is nice, but not for support builds (dungeons mean you need to support teammates), and if you are doing it for damage glass cannon? you are still doing it wrong. The weapon Scepter is far more superior than the GS. Yeah most people would rather carry a kitten sword than a wand like a fairy, but at the end of the day you can make way better specter torch builds than GS and you are more versatile. IMO GS is only good for PvE farming, hearts, quest, events, ect…. The only support is the symbol “IF” you get the trait where all symbols heal. But you have to take in account only the melee people will be near it, and it is small, so you would have to get all symbols are larger. Overall Greatsword is just not worth it in dungeons, and people have to get over it.

WarriorOfAsgard.3705:

Given the fact that the jotun aren’t found anywhere close to the tower, I’d be more likely to say the current owner might be human. The name doesn’t sound like a jotun to me either.

I was stating the “ORIGIN” of the tower, likewise there is no record of why, where the tower came from, I’m just thinking it could have been jotun. We only know that there is a new owner and he has moved the tower slightly, He is helping the towns people with his Elementals and occasionally invites towns people to live with him. Only catch is they don’t come back.

Also new owner, “Garrenhoff” sounds human

I feel the tower could have been jotun. If I remember the owner of the tower is different than the one in gw1. I believe it could be jotun because they were astronomers, ‘stargazers’, maybe a telescope is in there like in Arah.

Once again, this is like my 4th time on the Jade Maw after pumping out several dozen of these dungeon floors to just get dc’ed on the final boss. I’m very frustrated and don’t even want to do them anymore. I love the concept and mechanics of them (my favorite) but I just don’t think it is worth it, randomly dc’ing all the time. Most likely not doing anymore until it’s fixed.

I really really like these theories, I have had similar ones aswell, almost identical. I’m very glad someone else is thinking the same thing about the orgin of the gods and humans and wrote them out so well. Great Job.:D

Maybe has to do with orgin. First theory, the planet where humans came from. (not Tyria) or Two, south of Cantha? Just some thoughts.

Yep I was on tier 4 and disconnected from the server, still had connection to my own internet, just lost connection to the anet servers, and I could not go back into the dungeon.

Still Recruiting!

I’m very curious in how this “human” holiday is going to be celebrated by the other races. Just doesn’t make sense with what we know.

Sounds good I really like the idea of skill 5.

You have to remember Guild Wars: Beyond, which consist series of storylines and events in Guild Wars that helps set the stage for Guild Wars 2. Hearts of the North, Winds of Change, and “War in Kryta”. War in Kryta, was a HUGE sign and build up (set the stage for gw2) for Mursaat in Guild Wars 2. It also got alot of the Human orders, and races working together for one common goal.

The biggest clue I saw were

That Lazarus the Dire the only “known” mursaat to survive War in Kryta, and one of the 3 Mursaat high powers that came to Saul’s aid. The rest the mursaat were killed off during WiK. You can look him up for more lore, I don’t want to copy and paste the whole article from the wiki. He fled to go into recovery, but not before vowing vengeance against “countless generations”.

Also Isle of Janthir is now labeled on the map.
-“Janthir is the desolate-looking island north of Kryta where Saul D’Alessio claimed the Eye of Janthir for the White Mantle to perform the Test of the Chosen. The inhabitants of the island are said to have the gift of True Sight, the ability to see someone for who they really are.”-

“Charr Cubs starving in Cantha”, …..did anyone else see that in-game quote? Strange since the Human races is(was) dominate there. (Last time we checked)

tjafaas.3726:

Sorry to thwart your nice theory, but it seems you have forgotten all knowledge from GW1. The seed of the Pale Tree was planted by Ronan and Ventari. The latter was able to live longer, and therefore had more time to create the “tablets”, which now are known only as coming from Ventari, though Ronan participated in its creation, in a way.

Moreover, according to the novel “Edge of Destiny” story, there was no such thing as a “Pale Tree” before. The dragons were there long ago before anyone else, feeded themselves to the brim on existing life until there was so little left that they went satisfied into a deep slumber.
The source of this information is very reliable. It comes from Glint himself. He was a former servant of Kralkatorrik.

As to the a sixth symbol, it is quite possible that there is another dragon yet to be revealed. Tyria is after all only one continent, and the world includes so far Cantha and Elona.
My guess is that, eventually, communication with Cantha will become possible, as will it be with Elona. The only small thing to do is kill an Elder Dragon … but that’s what heroes are for

Glint is a She, not a He*

Have you guy heard the idea of the Pale Tree being a Champion of another dragon?

CassSmith.2639:

White Mantle appear within one of the human storylines

I think everyone can agree White Mantle are still around, but what I was stating and this thread is the Mursaat…..it’s a race. They are different things.

Alucardalina Claire.9825:

I just want to add into the hero part. I feel your concerns, really, but they’re just pulling an old GW1 trick.
A lot of people don’t seem to notice, but you were never the hero in GW1. All the henchmen/heroes and characters you encountered were. It plays it up as if you were, as if everyone were. But really it’s them doing everything. In GW2 it’s actually Destiny’s Edge that are the heroes. You’re there to witness it all, and it’s kind of like self inserting a character into your favorite book. It’s a dirty trick on our minds to make us feel important, but that’s why I like it.

I couldn’t agree more

I haven’t finished the story yet, but I know from one of the betas on my sylvari story that we found out that there were more sylvari cities/trees out there, but were not born with the dream, so they had to learn being taught and raised like normal races. This was good and bad because the hero cathie and the other sylvari discuss and state we need to recruit them before the nightmare court get a hold of them because they are easy targets and have no dream to protect them.

Lazarus the Dire was the only Mursaat to survive in Guild Wars 1, he vowed vengeance against “countless generations” of your hero and companions’ race that helped destroy the Mursaat. Fled to isle of Janthir which is now labeled on the map, so I would assume Mursaat are going to have a pretty big part in Guild Wars2 in a future expansion. Also if you have beat the last dungeon you will get a couple other easter eggs about the Mursaat.

i understood there were some other Mursaat to survive not only him.

Since the Titans’ release, at least eight Mursaat are known to have survived, and seven of them have continued to lead the White Mantle until the end of the Krytan civil war. Although these seven are known to have been killed off, Lazarus’ fate, and if anymore Mursaat survived, is still unknown.

I made the re-roll mistake within the first 5 minutes the game came out. don’t have the Rytlock, tome of influence, and glory.

They were probably wiped out from the Charr moving back into Ascalon. I really don’t think they have anything to do with the Dragons.

Acaelus Thorne.3862:

But you do know that the human Gods where called travellers from the mist right. the first traveller to arrival at tyria is Dwayna then fellow by Balthazar and Melandru. when it come to Grenth well he is half human that i know because his Dawayna son and his father is a mortal. what you say about Grenth removing Dhumm from his power is because he was a half God himself and didn’t like what Dhumm was doing to the poor souls. i still believe that the Gods brought human to tyria and about the magic that was taking away from jotun, you have to remember its was Abbadon who started to give too much magic to humans.

And the father is….. Malchor (makes sense now)

And you do realize the races from the planet tyria call the continent tyria….. just….sayian

I can’t absorb alot of this because godhood is handed down from a couple of different gods, and the match-up’s with the dragons don’t make sense. For instance Grenth the Prince of “Ice” could have to do with either Zhaitan, and Jormag if it was true

meh sounds cool, but doesn’t work out

Ever since the battle against Abbadon in the Nightfall campaign when Kormir stole godhood from us, the hero, I have always been more into the tyrian “gods”. So I looked into the lore and noticed that there was also a god before Abbadon’s place, Arachnia. After a little more research I found out that Grenth took godhood from Dhumm who was not defeated, but imprisoned.

After finding alot of interesting lore about the gods I started to see a trend of humanistic gods taking “power” from godlike creatures and became “gods” to their own people. Now after meeting the Jotun in the screenshots of this post I thought of a couple things.

My theory is that the Humans on their rise to power and great civilization found powerful creatures as they grew over the years and headed north of the southern islands of Cantha, and defeated these creatures on the way. Those humans that defeated those creatures took it’s power becoming extremely powerful, thus becoming a god (redundant I know). I think this is were the humans come from another world part comes in, they came from the south of Cantha (no one knows anything about south of cantha), with their gods…none of the other races have been south where maybe the humans originated. As the Jotun says, humans sprouted up into great power and were noticed by all the races. Also all of the current “gods” Balthazar, Dwayna, Lyssa, Melandru, Grenth… all have stories, families, feelings and traits so similar to humans and the people that worship them I only makes since that they were mortal at one point.

Maybe they killed the deities that the other races believed in such as Jotun?

Who knows, (remember these are ideas, don’t go crazy) I would really like to see what everyone else thinks, I have only discussed this with a few friends on Teamspeak 3.

wouw.5837:

wut? they where brought to the south of Cantha, not? can you link me that source? I am very interested

Yeah I will get some screenshots from the Jotun that stated this. There is actually alot more too it as well. Am I allowed to post links to screenshots?

wouw.5837:

well yeah, but the Gods brought the Humans to Tyria

that’s old news, we have in game sources that they were not brought to this world by the gods, they originated from south of cantha, and rose to power from being savages.

Maguuma Server

Dragons’ Solstice [ SoL] is looking for more active and friendly players to join our community. We have been together since Guild Wars Prophecies, and played tons of games with each other over the years. We play all aspects of the game, PvE, sPvP, WvW, Dungeons, Crafting, or just messing around in town. We have our own Teamspeak 3 server that about 99% of the guild uses. We also have our own Facebook page as well for quick updates, and just for random topics when we are not playing. Our members are guys, gals, all ages from all parts of the world. Likewise, we do ask for everyone to be 16+ (we do have exceptions). Overall we are a fun community enjoying Guild Wars 2 as a whole, looking for similar players to join us in our craziness.

A couple Ideas of mine
-The Echovald Forest, and Jade Sea are recovering, not fully, but still in progress.
-Luxons and Kurzicks are gone.
- Not many races live in Cantha other than human. (I did see a in game a Charr saying there are Charr cubs starving in Cantha, so I’m not 100% sure on this .
-Kuunavang may have/had something to do with the Deep Sea Dragon, or maybe the rumored 6th dragon.
-Tengu IMO seems to be 99.999999% chance of being a playable race with their own city that we don’t have access too, and few more things I don’t want to spoil. This may trigger during the Cantha Expansion?
