If Cantha happens it’ll be after the sixth dragon is dead which means the one known as Bubbles for now of the shores of Cantha deep in the oceans. My guess for now is that when we finally get to him he will be coming out to attack Kaineng city. As for the expansion naming one zone does not make it an expansion.
My thoughts about maps are that “Heart of Maguma” is only one of many explorable regions within the 2 territories in the expansion. Maguma Jungle and Maguma Wastes. Why Maguma Wastes because we are not in the jungle yet and on the video we see Rytlock walking in a new wastes region. Looking at the present map what was known in GW 1 as the Maguma Jungle is now shown as Magus Falls. However Magus Falls was only one explorable region in GW 1 it is also where Mordremoth was hibernating.
As for dying before Cantha comes out, yes many hundreds or thousands of times.
Ah! So people DO take high quality pictures for these kinds of threads?
Great work, both of you.
Yes we take pics in Bitmap by adding to the target of the EXE the letters bmp as such;
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -bmp
then later they have to be converted to jpegs for the forum.
BMP is only good for your collection. I’m nearing 2,000 pics now.
Something to look back on when the game becomes history in 2044.

One of them is a second Sylvari city tree which I think we see being attacked but I could be mistaken. We also see a Hyleck city in the trees. I’m freak’in in and out about this we can also see as allies something that looks more like Margonites than Mursaat.
No you can’t they are weapon spells and are locked in place. Your weapon can be switched if you are allowed more than one. However your 3rd ability can be your main one by pressing left control + right mouse buttons. Spells 6 to 10 can be switched when out of combat.
Why change perfectly good maps, when they could add new ones?
This is why.
I’d be mad if Orr was without risen. Orr is one of my favorite places, as Arah is my favorite dungeon. I don’t want everything in the game all happy sunshine and daisies. To me that’d be really boring.
This is also why. Let’s not change all the maps and stay in Kryta forever.
My philosophy is that life is like an RPG, your character or soul if you will, evolves with time and depends on how much work you put into it. In each life we have a role to play with all the souls we encounter on our journey, and the journey is worth it. Keep in mind to explore the real world outside of GW 2 and have fun with your friends.
It seems fairly obvious they have been working on this for a long time. Some of the stuff being released in the expansion has been talked about for years. Being that a playable demo will be out in 6 weeks, my bet is on an April 28th release.
I don’t know if there will be a public beta for HoT. I sorta feel like LS season 2 was the beta.
I just realised something the Destroyers are already here since day one attacking outside the walls of Dominions of The Winds, when they start attacking inside the city itself then they will come crying to us for help and let us in. I think that will be the first sign that we must go after Primordius.
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if there will be a new playable race (tengu or otherwise), they just wanted to keep it secret for the PAX East demo.
Funny I was thinking the very same thing today. They don’t have to reveal everything.
Don’t buy a slot yet because expansions have an extra slot or slots usually. Glad to have read your story. Keep the good thoughts and positive attitudes and most important have fun in and out of the game that is also important. You’re luckier than me, Anet is keeping my Tengu Revenant hostage inside the walls.
Lame it’s the demo that is only one map not the expansion. Do you seriously think they would spoil things by saying right away look guys it’s 12 maps? Here are all the names for them. For those who did not noticed, Rytlock was walking in a Maguma Wastes region on the video. which means the expansion contains 2 map regions, Maguma Wastes and Maguma Jungle. Each regions will also have more than one map. On the expansion page they also mention maps in plural.
At worst my guess is Pax East first Beta try out for the rest of us maybe a week or 2 later. By now it’s the 3rd week of March and we might log into the Beta for the first time, 4 or 5 weeks later we are at the April 28th’s 10th anniversary of GW, an ideal date for Heart of Thorns release I’d say. No it won’t be fall or winter because with Anet beta has never lasted 6 months and besides Mike also said after Pax East things will happen pretty fast and quote. Don’t believe I suggest you re-listen to the interview.
I must be stupid but I needed a new computer anyway.
Worth it?
It depends on your budget and what having the best means to you, March 2012 I invested 2800 for mine. I haven’t upgraded anything since then and probably won’t need any upgrade for another 3 years. So yeah I love my hot rod even more since
it got plugged on a Samsung 65" Led tv 2 years ago. My Blu Ray collection loves it 2.
I’ll have to wait until there’s a new race to play Revenant mainly because I want to avoid the same racial story. I have 8 characters including 2 x Human, 2 x Sylvari, 2 x Norn. 1 x Asura and 1 x Charr so having to play Revenant with an existing race is out of the question.

Dominion of Wind R.I.P. Tengu we will miss your lack of participation for 2015 again. When will those birds get their heads out of their butts and do something to help us. I guess they simply don’t give a Skritt’s butt about other races after all, and to think we want to play as them would turn my character’s stomachs if they had one.
P.S: This is a rant against the race itself not Anet, they have done an excellent job of bringing us an expansion, so please direct your rant towards the race with feathers.
Many times many thanks, I was down to living story only, I’m now back full swing.

It baffles me that you didn’t see this one coming.
In spite of everything I was overjoyed at all the announcements and I am drooling at the thought of playing this expansion only 6 weeks from now, this is way sooner than expected.
Resistance is futile, you will all be assimilated into the Mordremoth plant collective.
You will all become one with the plant. All of Tyria will become plants and do Mordremoth’s bidding. This is the veggie way of the future.
Would you play a Guild Wars 2 Tabletop RPG? Yes but without Living Story and with plenty of expansions. However that would make me quit the online version of the game.
Ah the old clothing subject. Anet has never and never will discuss this subject openly.
Their mind is set on skirt pants and trench coats. Good luck with this thread.
And don’t forget your thick wallet for outfits and armor that cost money that is a priority.
Fun thread. Not everything can be done.. but also not everything has been suggested yet.
Well here’s an interesting suggestion never heard of before. A digital expansion pack includeling a farming node for Black Lion Keys, super daily section, all the deleted dungeons.
I’ve stopped doing dailies entirely, like I’ve stooped doing key runs. I have a question for Anet, how many things that didn’t need any fixing are we gonna have to stop doing?
I’d love to get the Shatterer statue, it’d look amazing with my other assorted dragons, so I was really disappointed to find out it’s US only.
Well we’re not disappointed about the same thing. I would have bought it as well but considering that the statue is 8" high, take away 5" for the base and cliff combined and what you got left is a 3" high dragon, thanks but no thank Anet. At least I got my Rytlock statue from the C.E, 10" high with only a 1" platform.
The Shatterer would make more sales if it was well proportioned, as it is it’s like a baby dragon on a hill, keep it.
You’re doing all this simply because it’s the only thing left worth doing until an expansion comes along in 2056 or so, no promises though. There’s always the store if your characters need shopping, Anet would be thankful if you did.
Yes but you still can buy it for 200 gems and play it alone or have someone join you.
I left 3 weeks ago never to return unless an expansion comes along which I very much doubt. Have fun on your comeback.
IMO, the major difference between the past ‘been around the block’ and now is that in the past, Anet has said that they want to see if the Living World can provide the content and feel of an expansion. They hadn’t at those times yet. Because of this, expansions have been in the “not planned but not off the table” phase.
It took Arenanet much more time and resources to reach the point where the LW concept is able to deliver en expansion. With season 2 we have now a robust system that can embed content to be delivered in a story.
Yeah I know, we all know don’t we? We’ve all seen what a 4 months break can do to a game base on truth or lies which are neither based with facts. We’ve played for 30 minutes last time, some did it in 20 minutes. Which is equal to saying Anet doesn’t give a Skritt’s butt about it’s player base anymore, so go ahead and keep your head in the sand people. Anet has lost another multiple hundreds of dollars a year customer as I’ve stopped playing completely until a real expansion comes along which I highly doubt anymore. Last time I played was on the 18th, I’m done.
What would marriage grant you?
Time away from this game and allow you 2 to have a different kind of fun.
How would “marriage” be useful?
It would allow you to have a life instead of playing this stupid game.
What would be the requirements?
More bed time instead of sofa time leading to eventually uninstalling this game.
What if something bad happens?
Too late you’ve already uninstalled the game remember.
Is it unfair to other players?
Nah, you were a bad player remember.
