Scarlet is behind everything.

The longer the break from Scarlet, the better.

The sooner they move back to the real story, the best.

…until I found out that it’s been confirmed that it’s Scarlet again. Like seriously..the Krait are supposed to be Xenophobic??? Why Anet…just WHY?!?

Please kill her already and move onto the older, interesting lore.

I’m just wondering how they can kill her without actually bringing her back. They would at least need a final story arc to close off the Scarlet saga. If they don’t include Scarlet in a patch it just means she’ll appear in a later one.

I don’t know man. If they released one of those backstories on the website titled How Scarlet Dies, most lore fans wouldn’t get past the third word before they jumped from pure joy.

Solution to the Scarlet Problem

Posted by: Jeff.4680

There seems to be quite an issue here. While a small group of people do enjoy Scarlet, most of the player base seems to absolutely demise her as the main antagonist. With it pretty much being a given that she’s behind the story in the upcoming patch, it certainly appears as if the writers do not care.

MY PROPOSED SOLUTION TO THIS DILEMMA:

We get to the top of the Krait Tower: Scarlet is there, as expected, being cliche and silly as usual, laughing about how “foolish” we are or what ever crap she says. All of a sudden Mordremoth (or any elder dragon) come crashing down from the sky landing directly on Scarlet thus riding us of her ridiculousness for good. Mordremoth’s forces then engage in a massive zone-wide battle against Scarlet’s guys, wiping out, leaving us to save Kessex. Pact forces arrive, but this is not enough. The large amount of magic in the area comes to Isgarren’s attention, who sends in an army of elemental minions and saves the day. Who knows, maybe even the Tengu will come out?

All in favor?

Why are people hating on Halloween?

in Blood and Madness

Personally I think its one of the best updates in a while. The story maybe a little short, but the minigames and labyrinth are awesome.

And the best part about Halloween…NO Scarlet

Could someone explain the alliances?

There is no reason, it’s just really bad writing.

Lets pretend Scarlet never happened....

I thought my guild and I were the only ones who thought this…then I came on here and realized EVERYONE hates Scarlet.

Why I think Mordremoth is next!

Posted by: Jeff.4680

I love the thought of Mordremoth being behind all this. Just please, for the love of God, do not try to link Scarlet to Mordremoth. I will seriously cry…

Just kill her off, and use it as an example of “What not to do” in the future. We’ll act like she never happened.

No it hasn’t. :O

I just saw on other threads that people discovered that it is Scarlet through datamining. I’m not certain, it’s just what I heard. /dissapointed

Nah…They’d rather add more disjointed random lore on Scarlet than explain previous interesting underlying lore.

Who's behind all these krait shenanigans....

Posted by: Jeff.4680

But the Krait are xenophobic so why would they side with the Nightmare Court?!? ughhhhhhhhh… kitten Arena Net! Quit just throwing bad guys together and calling it an alliance under Scarlet -_-

Wheres has the storyline gone? - A rant

Posted by: Jeff.4680

I absolutely agree 150% with everything you’ve said. I’m a huuuuge fan of The Guild Wars universe and all its wonderful lore. To me, it seems like the hope of that returning is the only thing keeping me checking up every two weeks.

Enough of this Scarlet crap. She has to be the most uninteresting villain I’ve ever encountered in a game with serious lore. The fact that she exists in a game with lore I once fell in love with makes me cringe. I mean why is she evil?….because um..she’s evil?! It just seems so random and pointless. And Skypirates? The name alone says it all. Like you said, it just feels like a meaningless grind to get the achievements. When I had first heard about the idea of the elder dragons (powerful forces with an only desire to destroy), I thought the writing team stooped to an all-time low. All thought I did take that back after the game was released, Scarlet has proven me wrong anyways. If this new upcoming patch is Scarlet, I’m going to start giving up hope on the writing team.

I mean there’s sooo much cool & interesting existing lore that they could expand upon here. Dark allies, whispered promises, and madness? for a race that sacrifices slaves to their prophets? Right away this reminds me of the Mursaat and White Mantle. We know the Mursaat are still around somewhere, could they have moved on to using the Krait for their motives? Nope…’cuz its probably just Scarlet again.

I mean even bringing Dhuum or the Shadow Army back for this would make sense. Because its Halloween we KNOW that the veil to the Underworld is very thin. After all, we only have doors popping up all over the world that lead to a section in the Underworld.

As far as expansions, the living story is great and is part of what makes this game unique, but we absolutely need more substantial content. I feel right now that the only way of delivering this is through expansions, unless Anet can prove me wrong coming up here starting with the new patch.

Anet, stop with all this random new lore and start expanding upon the existing underlying lore. Also stop working kitten content that will only be removed within a few weeks, and start putting your resources towards something that will really blow our minds ***cough***new maps, races, skills, weapons, & dare I say professions?***cough***
