kharmin.7683 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Well, it is Friday the 13th in 2020, so I suppose anything would be possible at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excursion.9752 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I know some maps will make your screen shake to make it appear like the ground is shaking underneath you. You can toggle that in the options menu.

Maybe related to the upcoming release? I just want to know if it is true so I can go where it is happening. Don't want to miss something tied to living world. I hope it isn't nothing. > @"kharmin.7683" said: > Well, it is Friday the 13th in 2020, so I suppose anything would be possible at this point. This made me ?

I have not heard of that happening yet in any place new. When I initially read your post I instantly thought of the jumping puzzle [Pig Iron Quarry](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pig_Iron_Quarry) Those last jumps will surprise you if your not prepared.

Blur.3465 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Oooh I haven't experienced these yet. I really loved the Destroyer Earthquakes in GW1, they truly creeped me out and it gave that movie-like atmosphere! Really hope they continue with that when it comes to Primordus! Looking forward to new release :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 To avoid spoilers >! The last thing Bangar mentioned for his achievement was that Primordus is waking and he does mention the earthquakes. I am not sure if you need to have this part completed to notice them or if it is for everyone. I haven't experienced it myself yet but I always have camera shakes disabled. I haven't heard the sound of it either while I have the sound on. Maybe dailies isn't long enough to notice any. In short: It has to do with the upcoming Living World episode.

That could explain why I haven't seen any, I completed the storyline and a couple of runs of the meta event, but haven't really done anything else in that episode. I've had a character standing in one of the spots earthquakes have been reported for a full in-game day and haven't seen anything. It could have happened when I went to get my pie out the oven, but if so it was very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly.7019 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 There's a JP in that charr place -Field of Ruins- "Loreclaw expanse" (south East corner of map) that shakes the camera when you try to cross the timber beams that makes it feel like an earth quake.

When we open the mail for the next ep we should at least get one mandatory earthquake for all the people unlucky not to have experienced it. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mil.3562 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Why are we experiencing earthquakes now when the patch is still days away? It makes me dizzy. And is there a way to block those hovering sky scales, make them not there? An option to turn them off? It's super annoying. And talk about annoying, can people not open tomes of knowledge near the TP or bank? It's like trolling. Please go to one corner far away to do it.

Danikat.8537 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Anet often put in little bits like this to foreshadow the next part of the story. Sometimes there's even achievements associated with it. All of the 'current events' achievements started off that way and many of them were hidden until you encountered the events.

AgentMoore.9453 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Apparently these have been in the game for a while and people are only just now starting to notice them because so many of us have camera shake turned off or certain sound sliders set low due to noise pollution in the game. Whoops. Might have been an improvement to have Taimi buzz the Commander on their communicator whenever a quake hit, just to make sure the seismic activity was noticed, even if it was just a quick 'did anyone else feel that?'

Really? I've always had 'camera shake' on, and environment sounds up, and I've yet to encounter an 'earthquake'. I have, on the other hand, encountered the 'shaking' in Jumping Puzzles, and the big 'quake' at Megadestroyer each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
