Living World – Flashpoint

The White Mantle launched a surprise attack on Divinity's Reach. Betrayed from within and assaulted from without, the city fought a battle on two fronts. Queen Jennah rose to the occasion, revealing just how powerful a mesmer she is, and with a monumental effort on the part of the humans and their allies, the city broke the siege. Caudecus Beetlestone, once the legate minister, was commanding the White Mantle forces, bringing his plot to take the Krytan throne to its conclusion. He'd been working on it for decades, but his plan was foiled. Loyalists and allies of the queen found him in his mansion. Before he could be taken into custody, however, the snake murdered his own daughter, Demmi, an honorable agent of the Order of Whispers—and a friend to many. Caudecus's subsequent death was an unsatisfactory revenge for her loss. With their leader dead, the White Mantle forces fell into chaos, and the Seraph and Shining Blade picked off the stragglers with ease. In the wake of the battle, the Divinity's Reach prison bulged with inmates. A search of Caudecus's manor revealed one of Lazarus's aspects—the objects into which he safeguarded portions of his soul. This discovery brought Lazarus's true identity into question. Who is Lazarus? Marjory continues to shadow him, but does she know what she's getting herself into? That question will have to wait, because Taimi is on the verge of completing her antidragon device. The Elder Dragons grow stronger every day, and thus Tyria becomes ever more chaotic and dangerous. Taimi's device could be the answer that saves the world.

Undocumented Equipment Preview change

When previewing a weapon and ticking the "Wielded" box, it puts your character into a combat pose, instead of the previously static pose! Neat.

[SPOILER] Observation my Girlfriend Made

Posted: 02 May 2017 04:20 PM PDT

She and I were doing map completion and we were wondering about why the vines took that one researcher at the beginning. While we were doing the "Help the Scouting Party" heart we noticed that all the vine-encased members were Asura. We thought it was a coincidence at first, but every single pod you break open has an Asura in it. The researcher was an Asura as well. This is probably because of Zinn's involvement in the area angering the druid spirits.

Just a neat detail I'd thought I'd share!

Is the legendary armor supposed to have such a huge chest on asuras?

Congratulations ANet, you've outdone yourselves!

The new map and its mastery are amazing and honestly the final story instance is absolutely the coolest thing I have ever done in this game. Serious kudos

[SPOILERS][Spoilers][Major Spoilers] LS3EP5 Summary

Posted: 02 May 2017 11:38 AM PDT

  • Even Taimi doesn't know how Omadd's Machine works. Wow, never thought I'd ever hear her say that she doesn't know something.

  • "Lazarus'" real name sounds like "Butter Czar."

  • Phlunt likes to phight.

  • Taimi totally walked into that one.

  • Dragon's Watch gets a new member only for said member go into indefinite leave-of-absence five minutes after joining.

  • Yes, Draconis Mons looks like Pandora. We get it ; stop saying it in Map chat every five minutes.

  • The water is lava.

  • Pocket Raptors -- the cockroaches of Tyria.

  • White-blue Smokescales. Sounds like a unicorn-friend color scheme, I know.

  • New Mastery skill involving vines. I feel like I'm part of some friendly neighborhood though I've read enough titillating texts to see where this may be going.

  • The apex is really an apex-in-the-arse to get to.

  • Is that... OHMIGOSH IT'S M.O.X.! It's a reunion of the 250-year old people!

    • Dragon's Watch and/or the The Pact may have recruited a 250-year old golem into its roster. Nostalgic feelings ensue.

  • Taimi thinks I'm having heat-stroke because she can't see my magical ghost friends. Hey, I don't condescend you about Spencer.

  • Druids, when not killed in raids/PvP/WvW, can live for a long time and eventually transform into trees.

  • The lava is lava.

  • Killing more dragons = more loose magic = Tyria go boom. Not killing dragons = people go boom.

  • Regarding loose/unbound magic -- you can see how it's a problem for Tyria and how much of it is out ; Draconis Mons literally shows you this ; it has so much unbound magic being near a hotspot for it. Good one Anet!

  • "Butter Czar" seems to have had some problem with the other gods but seems to still be on good terms with Lyssa. I will not be surprised if these two deities have an offspring whose name may be like "Butter Cssar" and is the new human deity of steam.

  • Whatever happened with the human deities, it's probably Kormir's fault. Again.

    • Which is why we are going north(west)(actually south for us now), to Vabbi!

  • "Butter Czar's" secret puppy recipe's secret ingredient is magic. Literally magic.

  • Primordus has a cute snout.

  • Dragon's Watch is the first guild to ever defeat a deity and dragon(indirectly) in combat. Not bad for a guild with only 1.5 people currently active.

  • Primordus has a really cute snout.

  • Why would "Butter Czar" do all of these? Nobody knows(yet).

  • Either Jormag goes crazy with the loose magic or it goes dormant and we go get busy with Kralks, we'll see.

  • Dragon's Watch is literally a lampshading because we start to just watch dragons/keep dragons in check instead of hurting them.

  • How will the Commander ever explain to everyone in Tyria that dragons should not be killed? Time to ask ourselves : "What would Trahearne do?"

    • "A word, Commander? I need your help explaining to all of Tyria that dragons must be kept in check and not killed."
    • So it's still up to the Commander to explain things.
    • Trahearne is no help at all.
    • Typical Trahearne.

  • Does the loose magic tie-in with the human deities and the Mist/Bloodstone acting as a vacuum?

  • Finally, Taimi gets a nap for all her hard work and I should too since my sleeping medications are kicking in.

[Episode 5 Story Spoiler] Music Box for your Home Instance

Posted: 02 May 2017 04:01 PM PDT

After completing episode five, an old friend you meet in the story will return to your Home Instance with some dialogue options. Among them is the ability to play a small selection of tracks (some from GW1, some I've not heard before).

Others in your party who are in your home instance with you can hear this music as well!

Its high time you hire a Plumber

Seriously, these leaks are getting ridiculous. If most of this information is from the Arenanet partner program as many have claimed, either fix it or shut it down. Clearly some of these people don't understand what an NDA is and shares stuff with their guildies knowing that there's no consequences and thats how these leaks spread.

While these build up hype, it ruins the special excitement from a reveal. Imagine if we never knew about the crystal desert being the next expansion, we would still be expecting a Jormag vs Primordius battle and the sudden twist of Kralkatorrik being the actual threat would have blown our minds.

Now when they reveal the expansion at a convention, it won't have the wow factor anymore like it did with HoT. The new features are great and all, but we already know its going to be the crystal desert/elona, we already know what the elite specs are.

If a bunch of people get access to content before they are even released, it is bound to get out somehow.
