Secondly, the concept art always led me to believe that Menzies was to play a major player, and it's been heavily implied he's now dead. Incidentally, this also crosses Cantha off the list of possible locations unless a) they change their mind and create a new world map (ala GW1), or b) expand the map so large that we have to scroll past one or two monitor's worth of pure water to go from Cantha to Elona/Tyria. First is that in the Episode 4 AFC, Linsey Murdock stated that they're keeping open world maps to the world map itself, so we won't have open world zones in The Mists, etc. I don't think ArenaNet intends to return to the Utopia plot. Link to the description of the canceled/"readapted" expansion. Would also be an interesting way to introduce a new race into the game as well as new elite specs.Īs much as I would love to see Cantha, and want Aurene to resolve our current dilemma, it would be neat to see some of this concept art come into the game at some point.Īnd tying back to the beginning, could Virrastra and that sun boss be beings from these civilizations?Could this potentially also be where humans originated from?Or, if not humans, then perhaps the Forgotten?Perhaps where Samarog and some of the demonic entities in Bastion are from? The difficult part of that is that I'm pretty sure they said they weren't able to do entire zones in the mists or something, but it's just a thought. The most logical resolution is still Aurene and it wouldn't make sense to jump into a different world in the Mists while Kralk is alive, the idea of having an expansion in a foreign world in the mists could still be enticing. But it gives me a major Chronomancer vibe, even though the Utopia concept art is a little bit more cyborg.Ī lot of the other outfits people have been claiming to be very Canthan-themed, and I only played Guild Wars 1 for the first time last year and am not fancy enough to know which outfits were originally in there, it seems possible that some of these outfits could fit into the Utopia theme as well. We also had the Timekeeper Outfit which has always been curious to me, and if I'm not mistaken came before we found out Kralk was capable of creating time rifts everywhere. Siren's Reef fits the Aztec theme a little less, but I still get the feeling that wherever this story is headed we'll be seeing a lot more of these assets. Not that this means anything, but we had the gecko springer skin, the legendary scepter, and the new Siren's Reef assets that all have kind of that similar ancient civilization theme. If you look at some of the concept art for it you can tell that it was meant to be an Aztec/Mayan themed, or at least partially themed expansion. Maybe even some concepts from the scrapped Utopia Guild Wars 1 expansion. Perhaps beings like Virrastra and the Sun boss from the fractal. Now that we have Kralk devouring reality and creating time rifts, I wonder how likely it is that we'll have some strange beings from the mists popping out.
