Guild Wars 2

There were two wizards towers in Prophecies the one that you can only visit in pre-searing and the one that you find Galrath, and Verata at in Kessex Peak. (which are both different fyi at least going off of what they look like.)

Redfeather is correct in that the Wizard’s Folly tower is really close but to far south on the map to visit. and from what i know there is little to no lore as to what happened to that tower after the searing because in post you can’t get to that area either.

about the tower in Kessex’s its true that it has a new owner and that it has moved (it was right next to were fishermans haven was in gw1, its new owner is Isgarren and not much is known about him other then he is a wizard. and that he protects the town of Garenhoff with elements .

Still broken for me as well, attached is a screen of my story and the build number. also i did almost all of my personal story steps with a party of other people.

Yata.8932:

Yes it seems that asura tech is extremely advanced both magically and mathematically, so most other races can’t even begin to understand how to recreate asuran technology for themselves,

except for the skrrit who when in pacts are arguably smarter then the asura.

FourthVariety.5463:

The entire charr intro is nothing but a lie. “With machines of war we killed our gods”. Don’t make me laugh. If anybody killed their last pantheon of gods, i.e. Titans, it was me, at level 20, being my awesome human self.

I don’t think Anet meant that literately.

If i could have picked a golem pet for my ranger i would have. and still would pick one up if it was in the in game store.

Maybe Jennah is a crazy cat lady and has many cats? and we just don’t know about it… or better yet shadow is just a illusion… she is a powerful Mesmer after all.

@op it seems like you just disregard the events that happen in the books/ after gw1

@the notion that the charr are "Yet they are clearly the strongest/most powerful nation. " no just no the asura are way more technologically advanced then the charr and would have taken over the entire world if they didn’t have so much inter fighting between them selves. it even says it in there description on the character creation screen. “These alchemagical inventors may be short in stature, but they’re intellectual giants. Among the asura, it’s not the strong who survive, but the clever. Other races believe they should rule by virtue of their power and strength, but they’re deluding themselves. In due time, all will serve the asura.”

After forging the pact I did tower down, munition acquisition (stole the explosives from inquest lab) and breaking the bone ship. and get the same issue seen in the youtube video linked above.

I have noticed this as well the only fix I have found is to make a post and then the quote edit ect will show up. most of the time that leads to me deleting the post that I had to make.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Zesbeer, there actually are Fort Ranik ruins. The place was renovated by charr and is now called Fort Kinar (charr aren’t much on unique names).

Konig that’s too far north. serenity temple was north of ranik in gw1.

Asura gates, and waypoints (which they invented)

Unfortunately belonging to a race that invented waypoints does not entitle you to use them if you have not activated them before, so this suggestion is a bit pointless.

This is how to get your toon to all cities:
- once you are out of the introduction area, press H (hero) and the PvP-tab
- click “Go to the heart of the Mists” (top left)
(- if you (accountwide) have not been there before, do the short 3 intro-hearts)
- run to the Asura gate opposite the field
- port to Lion’s Arch
- from LA use the Asura gates to every main city
- exit the cities to the race’s starting zone
- done

Oh I miss read his post I thought he was asking how asura (npcs) got to other parts of the world not how other players.

Asura gates, and waypoints (which they invented)

I think going from jungle to Meadows isn’t that far fetched the humans did a lot of agriculture, used dams to drain areas ect. so them turning a swamp/jungle for farming dost seem out of reach what bothers me more is the lack of searing crystals in blazeridge steeps and the lack of Fort Ranik ruins. everything else is kind of spot on. see this map: http://images.playgw2.com/www/2012/05/10/i5ehlTmJSkaYv.jpg kind of dated but still shows you how close everything is.

Also lets be honest no one wants to play on the EXACT same maps again in a new game.

Its been like that since bwe3, and it doesn’t bother me. and were like that in the promo videos see this https://www.youtube.com/embed/UecExn4Vjec

I always thought it was a transformation tonic, which were wide spread in gw1 and are found in gw2.

you have to keep in mind that it has been 250 years from when m.o.x was around so the golems now compared to then are going to look and act different its like comparing a computer from 1980 to now.

The inquest are awesome and if i could i would have picked that as my college.

I keep getting gold spam e-mails and it would be helpful if I could set my mail box to only allow people on my friends list to mail me. that way the annoying spammers would get ignored and i would only get e-mail from people that I approve of.

for what ever reason i can’t edit my post but any how here is a link to the other thread. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Blocked-The-Battle-for-Fort-Trinity/first#post46589

I and a few others are having the same issue. I also did it with other people.

Not having this issue at all so…screen shots might help show what you are talking about though.

Embolism.8106:

Racial skills are the same for that race regardless of profession.

Racial skills do not necessarily have to include a healing skill, in fact only humans and sylvari get a healing racial.

yea I think that we have an extra utility skill to make up for the no healing skill.

You can also play thew the first game.

Edit an added benefit to playing thew the first game is its easy to get 30/50 in the hall of monuments for all the cool skins in gw2.

what should I report that as? I have been reporting those e-mails as scamming. but I wonder if anet would like us to report them as something else?

Shael.4703:

Illushia.3721:

That would be really interesting.

And imagine if the Nightmare Court found and corrupted a tree. They could rise from “Dangerous annoyance” to ‘world-threatening superpower’ nearly overnight.

They are probably aware already and doing something about it. But due to technical reasons, we can not follow-up on that branch of the story about a second pale tree in existence.

So far, correct me if I’m wrong, the official revelation is that there is a second pale tree west of the asuran/sylvari lands. We don’t have information if there is a third, a fourth, a fifth pale tree. Correct?

That is correct but I think its assumed that because the cave that the tree came from (had many seeds) that there is more then just the two trees.

Lox.1089:

Light cultural armor looks fantastic. All 3 tiers were fun must-haves for my elementalist.

However, when I started out my warrior, I had a look at the cultural armors and was very disappointed. I couldn’t find a single one of them that I liked, and believe me… I tried really hard to like them. I tried mix and matching, I tried just looking at them without the horrible helmets. I really just couldn’t get enthusiastic for any of them.
Am I in the minority? Does dye make it better?

I hope more options are forthcoming, because really these remind me of awful mighty morphin’-Tron-Gundam suits. The savant hat (Zojja’s hat -light armor tier 3) looks sleek and futuristic and nothing about it says “light armor”. That’s the look I want, not “Heavy Armor must = Robot Suit”.

(Sidenote: I also think that cultural armor choices should not be restrictive by type you can wear because right now I have light armor envy, and want my Zojja outfit. )

I feel the opposite i love the heavy sets and I don’t hate but dislike the light ones. and i think the heavy sets dye really well i mean really really well.

as for your side note pvp says hai.

Zejoker.9162:

I strongly disagree with this. It would be best for servers to work as a team and as one.

Having more maps wouldn’t change (I mean your team is already split on 4 maps and if you are on a bigger server you all the maps will be full anyway.) how teams work. it would however effect smaller servers.

Lutinz.6915:

I still cant help but think that the Sylvari have some connection to the Wardens from Factions. It could be these trees have been around in hidden areas for a long time. Hell Urgoz may have been an avatar/embodiment in the same way the Pale Tree has.

my running guess is that the druids that you find in guild wars 1 are the actual first sylvari.

Sardoni.8361:

I want a quaggan plushie =(

+1 I want a one that i can hug and when i do it would say random quaggan lines like quaggan loves you.

Dremlock.4608:

Ladies, gentlemen, we are Asura. Where is the practicality in frilly or cute? The external anatomical structure of both male and female Asura is nearly identical. Any additional clothing would be superfluous.

GET BACK TO WORK

I have to agree with this the asrua are way more concerned with magic and doing crazy lab experiments to care about appearance.

Honestly I think they should just remove the armors and replace them with transmutation stones, and have them work like how the hom skins work. (but for money).

I hated it, and hope it never comes back I would rather have us glow all day then have the sparkles come back.

Gulbrandr.9047:

The hylek appeared in Nightfall, though only on the continent of Elona (which is connected to Tyria by the Crystal Desert). Who knows how they got here.

The quaggan, if you learn about them in-game, used to dwell in deeper areas. Not open ocean/bottom of the sea type thing, but near the edge of the continental shelf (or that’s the impression I’ve gotten). When the Deep Sea Dragon awoke and drove the krait inland, the krait, being evil slaver types, displaced the quaggan and forced them inland, as well.

Hylek tribes are in eotn

Que times to get in are crazy, might i suggest adding 3 more borderlands and then every server has 2 home maps? That would effectively triple the amount of people that would be able to play.

Maybe this is a bad idea scoring wise, but something needs to be done to reduce the que times.

tanto.4217:

Nah my problem is that i want ALL my alts\classes to be able to be an Asura, but the problem there is that there only is 3 different story lines kinda, so then no new story if i make more than 3 asuras :P

I feel your pain. I almost made all eight of my characters Asuren, instead I did 3 my main and then made the other two different armor classes so i could all the cool looking armor sets!

after playing this story arc what are peoples thoughts?

personally I thought that there were going to be other pale trees in the world after finding out about the cave. and i want to find this other tree and see whats up there. and I wonder how many other pale trees there are in the world.

Vhang Fail Flagger.2985:

They are? I’ve yet to see them, and I’ve explored a rather large portion of the map. ~85%?
And beaten the game

I didn’t want to spoil for anyone but
n the last dungeon's explorable there is a mursaat path that deals with them.

they are in the game near the end…. as for the asura mursaat thing no one outside of anet knows.

They are an Asura invention if you watch the first scout in metrica he says something about it. there full name is “magi-matter-transportive device”

Lonami.2987:

The weird thing about this is they disappeared time-wise far from any meaningful event. Just that year, they disappeared. Nothing important happened near that date, at least nothing important we know of.

well maybe that’s the year that the people of tyria couldn’t find them any more it could have been a gradual extinction? and who knows they might be else were in the world.

I just unlocked all the skills and have used all of the asura elites, but I do think the suite could use a cd reduction 240s makes me not want to bring it.

Honestly i wish it didn’t move at all. its more annoying then it is helpful most of the time.

I blame the genocide of my gw1 character committed to get gwamm (vanquishing)

NightFury.1758:

Zesbeer.8365:

Raids=Meta events

That’s cool and all but all of them require little or no skill to complete.

And 50 man raids are organized and take skill? i think not. and if that’s true then the events are not scaling high enough.

Raids=Meta events

some people i have talked to don’t like metrca so just go to one of the other starting zones and you will probably like it better. personally I LOVE everything Asura so I am not having that problem.

I have tried twice now and both times I have gotten stuck on a loading screen. it would be extremely helpful if that map was something you could load into out side of wvw (as long as you had a keep) and did not share the eternal battlegrounds map space.

also semi related, there is no % or anything to tell you that you are still loading a map adding that would be extremely helpful.

Boki.1437:

I am still stuck and the 1st step of the story Report To Trahearne after the npc’s stop talking about the asura gates nothing happens and the quest is ticked off i am stuck here for the last 4 days. Any tip how can we progress further and + i cant finish the map coz one of the points of interest must be done whit the q

you can get the point of interest regardless of this bug what you do is this:
start that personal story ignore the npcs jump into the water and swim over to where the sea door (near the air ship on the mini map) into fort trinity is swim in there and then jump on to the dock in there and then go up the ramp and get as close as you can to the poi and it should pop up.(ie near the door leading into that place).

BUMP still as of build 15473 this is blocked.
