Electro.4173:

Maybe they thought his original look just wasn’t very threatening (which its not, really). They might not have been thinking ahead as far as making him become some big scary villain, so they wanted him to look more menacing now. Kind of wierd that they changed his color and everything, though.

I still want to believe that he is not totally evil. (My interpretation because of his old story-texts and the lines “In a fatally misguided attempt to free the new settlers from exploitation by The Consortium, Canach has turned the creatures of the island into tools of destruction.” and “Join Kiel for a mission to capture the deadly, desperate Canach!”of the announcement.)

As I said in the other thread: I liked his look much better when he had that harmless face. Suits better to his arrogant behaviour.
I don’t like changes of design when they’re only because of style and not lore-/story-related. Canach is a secondborn! Not only just an unimportant NPC. Hope he will have his old look or a very good story-explanation for the change.

Danikat.8537:

Well during Halloween they had events running in mid-level areas (30’s and 40’s) and no one was upscaled. But then that was before Lost Shores so it might be because they hadn’t thought of the idea at the time.

But you were upscaled in the halloween-“dungeon”.
I think it’s different, if a low-level-character is not upcaled in Diessa or Southsun. Because in Diessa it’s not THAT dangerous and what you had to do there you could do without fighting against a mob. But in Southsun there would be no “running-through” for a low-level-character. Even a level 80-character can easily die there. Most chars under that level would be dead by one shot. In Diessa that’s different.

But he looked so much better with the old design!!
A secondborn sylvari (which means he is important for the sylvari) with a new design just to make him not that "harmless" looking like he looked before? I thought it was fitting perfectly that he looks not that evil. And I really like his story and like him (and missed him the last months - yes, he may be not the nicest sylvari, but who cares^^). Thats why I want a miniature of him and started a thread because of that. But would be nicer to have the old version!

I want my old Canach back! *cry*

And change the appearance to escape? Hm... Don’t know if sylvari can do that... but then a not-so-evil-looking-look would have been better and less notable. Besides... his weapons are still the same like in the past.

Chuo.4238:

I don’t mind not getting all of a festival event. Those come around each year, and can be tried again.

Do you know that? Could also be that there will be other achievements next Halloween and the old achievements won’t be doable again. We can’t know what Anet plans about this.

Oh. You mean the achievement of the new event?
Then maybe you have to go to all waypoints on the map again. I had one waypoint before the event started but wasn’t there since the start of the event and so it seems I was there, but I had to go to this waypoint a second time.
Maybe thats the problem?

There is no reward for completing Southsun Cove.

Kasmeer is a good-looking woman in swimwear. And there are a lot of boys and men ingame. THATS how she is more popular.

Chuo.4238:

So I never talked to Rox and Brahme after I finished the Molten dungeon. I did every other thing required for the F&F achievements. But those two NPC’s are gone now, and I can never, ever speak to them again.

Why didn’t you go to them immediately after you completed the dungeon?
Would have been 5 minutes of extra time and you would have the gauntlets.
Don’t have the time to make the dungeon that would have been a problem, but talking to the NPCs? Must be your fault to miss it – no mistake of Anet.
Or do you made the dungeon on the last minutes it was open? That’s sad then, but you had 12 days time for that.

But would be good if things like an event-dungeon would last longer than only 12 days.

Hm. The second picture is missing. Don’t know why… editing doesn’t work. There I see all three pictures.

So maybe… I try to add it in this new post.

Here are some of my screenshots from the “Lost Shore”-event.

1. pic: Karka-attack in LA
2. pic: the asura on the left: Subdirector Blingg; the green sylvari on the right: Canach
3. pic: Canach imprisoned by Captain Magnus

The whole story is much older. It started in november (if I’m correct here) when the Consortium came into the game. They wanted to (and still want to) make a holiday vacation island. So in the past they researched a lot on their island and they send a sylvari-secondborn named Canach there to do the research thing. But he and his team angried the karka and other beasts on the island and so the karka attacked Lions Arch. (It was a big unique event together with the one where we defeated the ancient karka on the island.) That was the time when the old lighthouse in LA was destroyed, when the big ancient karka jumped upon it.
Before the LA-attack we had to uncover what was going on and questioned some NPCs like Canach and subdirector Noll. Canach was imprisoned by Captain Magnus of the lionguard but escaped in the fight on Southsun Cove against the ancient karka.

And now it seems that Canach is back (yes, he might be "evil" or not too nice and he WAS arrogant... but I have a crush on Canach *g*). When you follow Kiel you can overhear a dialogue in which she finds out that Canach instigated the settlers against the Consortium.

Hope I explained it correct.
For further information you can read the articles in the Guildwars2-Wiki.

Sinned.8419:

After reading all those dialogue and the post about Inspector Kiel, I have a feeling that Lady Kasmeer may be the woman the captured dredge was talking about. I think she might be our personal nemesis. Anyone else think that?

There is a thread about this question:

Plagiarised.2865:

InfamousBrad.5879:

Who the heck is Jory? Is this a name I should recognize from somewhere?

As far as I’m aware, It isn’t anyone we know. I assume by the context Jory is a human (maybe a noble) that’s in the same line of work as Lady Kasmeer. Of course I’m just speculating and I could be completely wrong.

Maybe Jory is the private investigator Kasmeer is working for?

And thank you for the dialogue.
I can add one more. The one of Kiel and Henrika about Canach which happens after the event with the crazed mobs. The first line I only have in german, cause I pressed the Ctrl-button too late, sorry. So if anybody can add the line in english?

Henrika: (Tut mir leid. Es ging um die Dokumente … die Verträge, die uns binden. Wir wollten nur frei sein.)
Henrika: He had a plan, and we were getting desperate. He said nobody would get hurt but the Consortium.
Henrika: He was…a sylvari. Kind of a snob. Tough, though. He knows this island inside and out.
Inspector Ellen Kiel: He…of course he does. He spent a lot of time here exploring the place. Didn’t think he’d ever come back, though.
Inspector Ellen Kiel: A reckless sylvari who knows Southsun Cove, and has a grudge against the Consortium? We’re looking for Canach.
Inspector Ellen Kiel: At least we’ve got something to go on. Now to see where it goes.
Henrika: Remind me not to sign any more contracts. Ever.

It’s a pity that the right Ctrl-button which shows the text in the original isn’t working like it had in GW1. There I can switch into the original text every time I hold the button (even if the text is written in the chatbox), but if I release it, it’s back in german. But in GW2 I have to hold it down to get the original text in the chatbox and if I release the button, its still in english in the chatbox and text I only have in german won’t change into the english original like it was in GW1. Only the names of the persons like “Inspector Ellen Kiel” switch between the languages.

EDIT: Ok. Missed that you had this one there, too. Sorry. -.-

That’s not Braham. He looks different. But the hair seems similar to his. But his was not that long I think.

No need for a waypoint at the crab-arena, cause afaik it’s temporary and the way isn’t long from pearl-island.

CharrGirl.7896:

On the location where I took this screenshot is a new camp and I think we could really use a waypoint there. There are events around it and it’s far away from other waypoints and the way is crowded with tons of mobs so it would make things a lot simpler.

I totally agree.

Mastruq.2463:

I love Lord Faren, too bad there wasnt time to write dialogue for human nobles that are supposed to be BFF with him. Imo that should be considered important for future arcs.

I loved how the guards in the Charr war room let me in because I’m pact commander but wouldnt allow my alt through. Little details like these bring the world alive to me. Weave enough of it into the temporary and also permanent content in the future please.

I agree.
Would be better if in the future NPCs the character knows have other dialogue-options with them than with others.

In the past karka-event it was a pity that sylvari only had the same dialogue-sentences than other races when they talked with Kiel about the secondborn sylvari Canach. Sentences like “whats with this guy” – I don’t think that a sylvari really talks about “this guy” when talking about a secondborn, cause they’re important for them.

Maybe they are missing cause we will get new Southsun-minis on 28th and then we get slots for all of them? Only a guess. But would be cool.
I already mentioned that I want a Canach-mini. Hope they will bring it ingame.^^

I think I have a crush on Sylvari. And he is a Secondborn. What makes him important somehow.
I think he is more interesting as “heroes” like Braham, cause he is not “nice”. He is arrogant and has done a mistake in the past when he annoyed the karka. (And it seems he done one, again. g) But to me that makes him more interesting than a perfect hero would be.

It was a pity that we had no different choices in the dialogues of inspector Kiel at the last event, when she told us that Canach fled from the lionguard when the players attacked the ancient karka. My sylvari-characters wouldn’t asked of “this guy” – I think because he is a secondborn they would have helped him to flee. g

I REALLY like the Southsun-story and I like the Sylvari Canach since he first was in game at the last Karka-Event. I ended up to kinda stalk him at Kessex-hills and later at captain Magnus’ ship where Canach was in chains. And really missed him the last months in which he was not in game. So I’m really interested in how the story moves on. Seems he will be important at the end of the event (I guess from the achievements).
So: Will there be a miniature of him? I wrote it as a suggestion in the german forum, cause I REALLY want a miniature of him and I want it in the gem shop, cause my drop-luck is very bad.

Could you PLEASE add a miniature of Canach? Would be SO nice!

Is there anyone who wants that, too? Or am I the only one who has such a crush on him? grin

Anet wants to give everyone the chance to not miss the event there cause they are new to the game. They don’t want anyone to get rich by farming orichalcum in masses.

I don’t think that it will be deleted, cause I still have the Halloween-collector in my inventory. But it’s only a guess.

I think it’s good how it is. You also can’t go to Orr to gather orichalcum there with low-level-chars.
Would be terrible for the ori-prices if anyone could make a new char, gather the ori in Southsun and then delete the character and make a new one to gather the ori again.
You see what would be the problem?
