Guild Wars 2

It is an elder dragon made up of horses, just like Zhaitan was an elder dragon made up of dragons

I do want to point out though that there is a pathway and a blocked off portal area leading to the territory between Divinity’s and Harathi. This pathway is just as obvious as any other, and who knows, maybe they’ll create a territory that isn’t a box in order for it to fit well.

I’m of the opinion that Sylvari don’t have blood as you or I would know it. I believe that being plants, they have some type of chlorophyll for photosynthesis. I think their insides would be more like a tree or a stalk.

@zeefa
Sylvaria are go at imitating, but there is no evidence that they are any more self aware than the tree that just fell over on my roof last night.

Man, I gotta say that you are good at imitating self awareness, but since there’s no evidence that you are, I am going to be eating you now. I’d say no hard feelings, but there’s no evidence that you would care. :P

From what I read the Asura merely stabilized certain areas that were already created in the mists, he/she didn’t create them his/herself.

And the gods are merely dragon champions of a much epically stronger Elder Dragon, and the Humans are merely it’s minions.

Look I said it, and with confidence. Therefore it must be real!!!

These are not the physical return to a point in time, but rather a reconstruction of a point in time within the mists. This is what the game designers seem to view things such as PvP arenas as well.

The jotun rode these True Giants into battle against the Elder Dragons, it was Glorious!

And the nightmare court is more of a corruption in the sense of, once you start torturing and maiming others there is no coming back. As opposed to, “Oh my flesh is now branded crystal and I can think of nothing other than pleasing Kralkatorrik!”

I personally don’t see the inconsistencies as the gods manipulating humanity. I mean everything that we have seen in game (GW1) shows that the gods loved humanity and left because their interference was causing trouble. My personal interpretation, coming from years of devotion to the 6 True Gods, is that humans made assumption in their history, which lead to them glorifying the gods even more. I mean we do know that the gods, specifically Melandru, did some terraforming of the land, and this could have lead to the assumption that they created the land. The same goes for the spreading of magic and the separation through the Bloodstones.

What we know about Glint always came from Glint, thus should be taken with a grain of salt

It’s hard to say that the Bloodstones have ever really done their job though, when you really look at it. I mean here in GW2 every profession can help in the area of preservation as well as 1 other area of magic, and in Guild Wars 1 each profession had secondary profession abilities which allowed them to mix their way into multiple areas of magic.

I mean the only way that anyone can say that the Bloodstones have done their job is that no 1 specific spell can bring forth effects from multiple stones. Otherwise each profession seems to have abilities in each sphere of magical influence, even though certain professions are usually much stronger at it than others.

Well, I think he is pointing to the armada that Zhaitan is supposed to have that patrols the sea of sorrow from Orr to the ring of fire islands. One would assume and if the DSD was, for some reason, moving towards Tyria (continent) that he would run into this armada.

Of course the wizard was a dragon champion! I didn’t even say it because I thought it was obvious :P

Oh I’m sorry, frilly ideas…. Um…. The wizard who made all the floating rocks decided to make a spell allowing people to float in water. His spell was hard, and many people ended up flying into space because he weakened gravity on them too much, but he was finally successful.

Yes, but I would expect at least a few conversations with him when it came to strategizing about the way in which we would re-take it. I mean we talk to the Pale Tree a lot, even though she never goes into battle to does anything along those lines.

Actually, the Margonites spent time in the area when it was the Crystal Sea, before Abaddon’s fall. So they may have made a few things along the “coasts” of this area, but nothing in the area itself. And much of what the humans following Turai Ossa built were most likely the wooden structures not the statues and monuments, because of their short time period there.

But the Seers had infused themselves with protection against specral agony, therefore perhaps they were draining the infusion from them.

The Karka probably have very little to do with the infusion. If I remember right the Ascended armor and Infusions come from the new dungeon, Fractals of the Mists.

There’s a difference between having an alliance, and intermingling everyone’s minions. I mean in real world standards, in WWII there were the Allies, and sure you may have had Americans following orders from the English and such, but in the end their allegiance was always to America.

And even if there was this full fledged mingling of minions, it wouldn’t be a champion of Menzies or Dhuum, but a champion of the Alliance of Fallen Gods.

Ghosts of Ascalon Page 5.

“Killeen and the others of her race were born fully formed from the fruit of a great white-barked tree far to the south. There was no animal warmth to her flesh.”

It seems that the Nightmare court have offered themselves to the Inquest, but I highly doubt the inquest will share their findings…. without a fight.

I personally would have enjoyed if it could be tied to your personal story, and you could link youself to a specific character that you really enjoyed back in GW 1. Whether your human claimed to be an ancestor, or the sylvari chose them as a personal hero, or even if the charr chose that individual as a person they despised, only to learn what good they did for the world and grow to admire their courage. And perhaps if you didn’t have a linked account to could be explained to you thru Mhenlo or one of the others.

No, in the story Zhaitan has had undead killing all peoples and shipping their corpses back to Orr to be resurrected. It is also claimed that Zhaitan’s Champions have the power to raise the undead themselves. But it would make little sense for there to be Norn around Orr when it was risen. I mean I could perhaps agree with Asura and Charr pirates there, but Norn, based on where they live, would have no reason to raid the peninsula’s remains.

It makes sense that since the people of Kryta have come to fully believe the story of Kormir’s ascension in Nightfall, that they would eventually build a statue to Kormir there. Sadly with the world being stuck in time in GW1, no physical change happened that we could see with our own eyes.

Are you talking about the massive ruins of what looks like it might have been a circular arch going over the area?

Yeah, it seems to make more sense that it will eventually become more of a multi-cultural civilization eventually. I mean humanity has seemed to cut off all ties to Orr because of the constant attacks from orrian undead in both games. And the Charr have enough issues to handle, with the dragonbrand, ogres, flame legion and Ascalonian ghosts. I mean the last thing they want to inherit is possible DSD minions, Branded Minions, and Joko’s Undead in a completely ‘uncivilized’ land.

It makes more sense to me that the pact would continue to own that land for a while, and it would grow into a multi-cultural metropolis, perhaps tied in with LA, or perhaps of it’s own, being closer tied to the pact.

Or, and I know this is a crazy thought, but swimming was very easy and very possible. The only reason we didn’t see it was because of A) Game Mechanics, or Our characters never learned how to swim. I mean who wants to swim in 50 pounds of armor anyways, it would suck. If it didn’t kill you.

That was a joke BTW

Everybody, it is already well known that Your Herald is Lazarus the Dire, and he is doing everything to manipulate and destroy all life from the hands of his master, Mordramoth.

Nor are the Charr legions blind enough to outcast a loyal charr citizen that happens to have adapted well to the use of magic. They are willing to use all tools at their disposal.

Which is why asura would be quick to adopt the guild standard, because their race already had that sort of thing in the Krewe’s that they put together to reach their goals. Heck, even the charr warband can be seen as a very close and intimate (in the sense of trusting each other with your life) guild.

Actually, from what I remember the scarab plague was more of an “alien” moment where the eggs were inside of people and ate their way out.

I do hope, though, that someday we can visit the deldrimor front and see what’s left of Thunderhead Keep, and more specifically, the tower in Wizard’s Folley that has been kept from us ever since Pre-Searing.

Darx.9842:

Or it could be none of that.

Maybe they can’t become undead because they’re plants….

Many plants are corrupted in the Dragon Brand, but there are no branded Sylvari. Now I understand that not many sylvari can be found there, but still it seem there should be some.

I honestly would have expected his appearance after the incident at Claw Island, but it never happened.

Lyssa has control over water, grenth has control over ice. This is different from Guild Wars 1 where the only control of water was Grenth’s control over ice, because Lyssa was only said to have control of chaotic non-elemental magic.

My stance on the Temple of Ages is that it is not in the same place that it was before. Either a sink hole appeared under the hill that the temple was on (my personal preference, and rather likely in a major flooding situation), or the hill was washed out, and the territory was sunk into the swamp by the erosion of the rock. Another possibility, one that isn’t brought up often, is that it has something to do with the weakening of the barrier between our world and the underworld.

All we know is the image of a seer sitting on a table with essence streaming out of it, and into a crystal. We have no idea if this was voluntary, or if it was merely an act of savagery hunting them down. I highly doubt, though, that the shining blade would allow the asura to hunt them down after they were helped by them in the southern shiverpeaks.

I think the gods just bring helpless races to tyria in order to feed the dragons and keep them at bay and out of the mists during the time of their awakening :P

Go for Sacrifices!

I wanna point out, the wizard’s tower was already in Kessex, just a different part of Kessex, otherwise like as well.

Lol, I think he had gotten tired of swinging a sword by that point in time :P

Well we know for a fact that there is a pumpkin carver’s guild. I also get the feeling that the bank is a sort of guild, as well as the Black Lion Trading Company.

Nihilus.3015:

This creature belongs to Menzies.

I think I understood what you wrote the first time I read it. You wrote a statement of fact with no supporting evidence, thus you wrote a speculation and nothing more.

And the ability for ritualists to summon spirits was a skill that they had long before the gods even gave magic to the world, if I remember reading right.

Unless ArenaNet’s already thinking of more expansions past that, man these guys might make it so we’re barely able to keep up with free new content!

Yeah, I saw him during the betas and freaked out to my guild mates.

There are loads of instances like that. You’ll see hundreds of NPC’s with ArenaNet team names. Heck in GW1 they had the same thing, they even named challenge missions after prominent guilds from the Alpha or Beta (can’t remember which) (Zos Shivros Channel = Zealots of the Shiverpeaks)

I think the idea behind it was to force individuals to rely upon each other for the magic that they could not perform themselves. AKA you guys need a monk to heal!

BrunoBRS.5178:

^ arachnia technically isn’t canon, since anything related to it can only be found through datamining.

But you can find broken statues of her in the realm of tormeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent.

But the name, and lore behind Arachnia comes entirely out of datamining, and is never mentioned by in game characters.

Well, the whole meaning of the WvW and major inter-guild fighting could be explained simply by the fact that Zhaitan wiped out most guild halls with his Tsunami, and then cut off contact with him by his undead armada. So without guild halls to fight between, the only choice was to enter the mists and take the battle there.

Okay, I think these kinds of theories are bogus, because of the fact that if there was meant to be a tie in it would be just a little bit more obvious and less convoluted. To prove this I’ll tie the dragons to the gods that would be similar to them.

Jormag takes control of his minions through a form of mind control, but his primary form of corruption is ice (not crystal) This would (in your theory) point to him being tied to both Lyssa (Mind Control) and Grenth (Ice)

Primordius is literally just in control of rock and fire, so he pretty much only correlates to Balthazar that we know of.

Zhaitan creates a mockery of life and death through his undead monstrosities, thus he would be the relate able to both Dwayna and Grenth/Dhuum.

Kralkatorrik corrupts nature by manipulating it, and if you don’t believe this just look at the dragonbrand. So Kralkatorrik would be related to Melandru, but only in an opposing fashion. None of the gods seem to fit into Kralkatorrik’s style otherwise.

The Deep Sea Dragon (Bubbles) is something we know nothing about. The only thing we know is he likes the oceans, and Abaddon/Lyssa being the gods of water are the only correlation we have there.

So you see, it’s a messy, sticky, convoluted mess. So if they really want to make the connection, there’s definitely some work to do there.
