I dunno how to upload screenshots, but those are definitely the SE dungeon armor. <br /><br />I call it "Dredge armor" but it's the armor worn by Inquest in Sorrow's Embrace. So I'm starting to strongly suspect Inquest influence. <br /><br />-UrsanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558011570345628688.post-83685575066102844442013-03-08T01:40:01.388-05:002013-03-08T01:40:01.388-05:00That annoyed me as well.

They deliberately wrote in dialogue about that orphan and that's leading to nothing - unless they pull a Salma on him and change his model.<br /><br />Similarly with Rox. We know she's a Blood Legion soldier working with Rytlock on the matter. I doubt there will be a further backstory to her.<br /><br />I meant to ask you guys. What's the deal with "Lost and Found"?

Looks like a set of stairs would fit perfectly into that spot. Maybe that is how the dredge will break into the castle.<br /><br />It would be interesting if the Orphan boy was the Norn hero. I like your theory on that. I just don't know if Norn that young fight. I just hope they are helping us, and not the other way around. Sick of running tasks for others and I want to start making my story.<br /><br />As for the enemy, I totally forgot he was even mentioned. You named the "sassy" character I would have named, Kudu, but I am not so sure. I don't believe they were defeated at the end of the Sorrows Embrace Storymode and they say they will be back. I can't think of any "sassy" flame legion. They all seem to take their burning rather seriously. I will have to think about this some more.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525149260217843564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558011570345628688.post-42945695862321905932013-03-07T01:44:56.780-05:002013-03-07T01:44:56.780-05:00I like that explanation.

I also found that random glitchy bit in the map. Perhaps a future Diessa entrance to whatever that fort is? To match that giant gate in Wayfarer..<br /><br /><br />Also yes, it does appear to be Norn-made. I did comment on your last post about how I suspected ANet will pull a "perception filter" explanation on us "What new castle? That one that was always in Wayfarer?" but there was an error in posting or something.<br /><br />ArenaNet posted a few days ago that they had listened to player feedback and that more ANet staff were working on April/May. At this point they announced "a new Charr NPC and a new Norn NPC - as well as a villain who will be familiar to many players".<br /><br />So at this point, I don't care about Braham or Rox (my brother and I speculated that the Norn NPC would be the orphan child from the Refugee Camp - angry at the dredge/Flame Legion so becoming a sort-of Batman and fighting back.. Brakman) - I care about this "familiar villain"<br /><br />Who are our likely suspects? Kudu? General Molradovich? Baelfire? I mean.. I don't remember if all of these guys DIED-died or were "defeated".. I highly suspect it will be a Charr mastermind as I think it's more likely the Charr would "charm" the Dredge into a disguised slavery than for the Dredge to approach the Charr successfully. Or is there someone else? Perhaps a Consortium character we met in The Lost Shores? *cough cough*<br /><br />Or finally, could they finally be approaching another GW1 hero for reference? I could think of a few ways to write a GW1 hero in as the boss for a GW2 enemy..JayRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558011570345628688.post-71796078457688105252013-03-06T13:04:29.444-05:002013-03-06T13:04:29.444-05:00That castle/fort *really* puzzles me. As you have ...That castle/fort *really* puzzles me. As you have demonstrated pretty conclusively, it has no imaginable connection to either the Dredge or the Flame Legion. <br /><br />If I wanted to be positive I'd speculate that perhaps it's an ancient Norn edifice previously buried within the hillside, now revealed by landslips caused by whatever Dredgeworks below the surface are venting all that steam. I don't think it's that, though.<br /><br />I'm afraid I think it will turn out either to be either:<br /><br />a) the entrance of a dungeon that will have as little, or less, backstory or lore to explain it than the Fractals did. We'll be expected to be so pleased to have new content we won't ask any awkward questions and that expectation will be duly met.<br /><br />b) something that's always been there, we just didn't notice it before. In other words, someone thought it would look good. As you point out, it's cobbled together from existing art assets.<br /><br />What I'd like it to be is the gate to a whole new part of the Shiverpeaks. It won't be.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.com
