PREPARING FOR THE POINT OF NO RETURN
TenTonHammer has had an interview regarding the upcoming updates of the Living Story. Arenanet's Bobby Stein and Steven Waller weighed in on some of the story instances of the next updates, as well as their ambitions for future updates and mistakes from past updated. You can check out the full interview here.
Steven Waller, Studio Technical Director at ArenaNet, states that, “We’ll be introducing a lot of interesting lore that has deep roots in Guild Wars, some things back to original Guild Wars 1 that has ties. We think people will be really excited about that and we’re going to visit some places that people have only speculated about or heard rumours that they existed. We’re going to learn some pretty big secrets that relate to Tyria’s past. This road to war is going to have these points along the way where things will happen and there’s no going back from them. These points of no return where actions will be put in place or information will be learnt and once it’s there, they’ll have impacts on Tyria forever. This idea of the road to war being paved with points of no return is the overall theme that we have working for the second half of the season and we think people are going to be really surprised by the variety of gameplay and instances but also the deep level of lore and information that they’re going to get about Tyria.”
One of the main things for me going into this new season is whether we can expect answers to the side plots that people didn't notice or fully understand. There’s a large amount of strands still left untied:
- Where is the Master of Peace going?
- Where were the Zephyrites heading?
- What was the golden glow from the Zephyrites Airship?
- Why has the ship carrying that glow been looted?
- What lead Aerin to pursue the Master of Peace in this way?
- How will Marjory deal with Belindas death?
- Will Majory and Kasmeer be the same?
- How will Eir and Brahams relationship continue to improve after fighting together in the Shiverpeak Mounts?
- What is to become of Rytlock?
- What did the vision the Commander saw involving the golden chamber full of crystals mean?
- How will the battle against Modremoth shape up after the attack upon the Pale Tree and the Avatar?
