radda.8920

Even a 5 year old would make a more interesting story and all 3 missions are boring and repetitive with no form of difficulty and mechanics

this update is an insult to the community and they absolutely do not deserve to be complimented with content like this ...

this type of content for 4 updates, just OMG...

And even an extension is no excuse for all of that. They only have to delay the release for a few months to finish this saga decently

**GW1 fans remember how the Eye of The North was used as the heroes would venture out seeking allies and prepping for their fight against the Great Destroyer.**

yes but please don't compare this mediocre content to gw eyes of the north which was a thousand times superior.

And at least during gw 1, we had several types of destroyers that were much more stylish and impressive. We weren't fighting stupid crabs.

destroyers deserve so much better...

the opposite of Drizzlewood Coast

Personally, for me, the maps of HOT are just perfect in every way especially the auric basin

why 4 months?

we already know the next chapter will come out in january, the third one in march and the last one in may

a shame, a disaster, a total boredom.

6 months to put up with this kind of content ... cantha seems far away

because joko is the one and only god

everyone kneels before his divinity <3

> The current theory in my circle is that whatever Jormag’s plan is for our team up will go wrong. With the end result leaving Jormag dead and an insane/hurt Primordus rampaging all the way to Cantha with us chasing after him. Now how do you put a fire? With water obviously.

impossible, water dragon logo for the expansion

and we already fight a god of fire in PoF, fighting a fire-controlling villain again, would be so repetitive. And I really don't see at all how to adapt primordius to cantha. Buble would be so suited to the Jade Sea...

>

> i hope the plot dont take path of just primordus move to cantha(for expansion), it will be too cheap/lazy, basically a balthazar 2.0.

almost impossible with the expansion logo. We can see very well the theme of water with a dragon that does not look like primordius

moreover as you say it, it would be too too repetitive to have 2 enemies with the same element: pof balthazar god of fire then EoD dragon of fire ...

In my opinion, either primordius will be killed at the same time as Jormag at the end of this saga or it will be kept for a next living story after the expansion.

I am totally against it. we explored these maps dozens and dozens of times over the past 8 years. I can't stand them and I want to explore new things....

Mai Trin was apprehended by Inspector Ellen Kiel in the Aetherblade Retreat while her first mate, Horrik, was killed. She spent time incarcerated in Fort Marriner, but was later freed by her Aetherblades and taken to the Edge of the Mists, pursued by Braham and Taimi. She eluded capture, however, and carried out the mission Scarlet had given her while Scarlet's Alliance invaded Lion's Arch. Even after Scarlet's fall, Mai Trin has remained elusive in the Mists.

the fractal takes place before she espace from prison

She was just defeated, not killed

Whereas some of them returned to their instincts and even forgetting where they got their airships like the corsairs of Istan in the north, some other may have continued to take care of their high tech gear and roaming around with asura shooting lasers. If some successfully escaped to istan, why not cantha, or even the northern maguuma wastes, now that balthazar is gone and joko too, they can even fly to the crystal desert. I don't remember how many airships where there during the assault of LA during LS1 but they were a lot, several stationnary over LA and many in the map around launching invasions, I remember fighting them in kessex hills or gandarran. And we destroyed what, 2 in twilight arbor and Mai trin one? Not a lot compared to the fleet. Plus all that fled through the mists and can be technically everywhere.

yes mai trin survive so she will probably come back

I suppose Echovald could potentially be remnant of a previous dragonrise, but I also don't want to bend over backwards to make *everything* connected. I'm half-sure the jade wind will be retconned as elder dragon corruption somehow, anyway.

It seems likely the saltspray dragons will have some connection to elder dragons (perhaps as scions of the dsd, or at least high dragons capable of elder dragon ascension), and_ I wouldn't be surprised if the jade wind was revealed to dragon-related._

boring...

the explanation with dwayna's magic was more than enough ... I don't even see how shiro could control dragons corrupted by dragonite magic, it doesn't make sense

i hope the wardens are not related to mordremoth

I'm really fed up with everything ending up being related to dragons. And that all the lore of gw1 be soiled by these uninteresting dragons ...

no if I go to cantha I do not want the ancient monsters of this territory to be linked to them but to have their own independent story ..

new concept arts

really easy this one even with cm, i don't understand your problem...

after a few tries, you fully understand the mechanics of each phase and you kill her very fast by having memorized everything like a robot.

Arkk CM is far more difficult.

> @"ugrakarma.9416" said:

> theres any hint of new map i missed, or will be just invasions on old maps?

no new map for future episodes. Or maybe just one for the last episode to finish the saga

Just 5 player instanced invasions

why is everyone talking about bangar as an ally? we see him just at the end of the teaser, in his cage.

The other charr that fights a destroyer and fight with us is ryland

[

The same armor and head

the extension had better be full of content

This saga is a disaster and ends even worse than I could imagine

its instanced , don't worry

maybe with episode 7 and 8 ,and I'am not sure, maybe just a map to introduce the tengus at the end

But it is almost certain that we will have no new map for episodes 5 and 6, just invasions in Tyria with missions and the story.

pnj > eye of the north for the next updtate, almost certain you will see

only invasion like Living story 1...

It saves them time by having the majority of their team only preparing the expansion.

No more map to create so fewer people to monopolize

we probably have the answer now. Everyone was wrong. We won't have any new maps until cantha.

terrible...

at least Metrica Province is not just about this boss, there are plenty of events and activities that you can do without zerg spam 1.

Drizzlewood Coast is dedicated only to that ...

Not at all.

Boring story, Uninteresting environment and the worst The whole Map is reduced to spam 1 with a zerg bus to destroy doors and champions without any mechanics. I literally fall asleep on my keyboard. No really, it's been a very long time since I last saw something so bad in gw 2.

The voices will change nothing.

you will not appreciate anything and will take no pleasure. Possibly the two worst episodes in living history since scarlet and the worst map in the game.

> before moving the entire population from the last two episodes map to a new one.

according to their article, I don't see anything that speaks of a new map. I can sense simple invasions happening to existing content. I hope I am wrong ...
