Chapter 4 Lore speculation

Well on youtube one day I saw a Cutscene and there was a canyon and a blond girl with long ears jumping across it with two knives and then it said

Guild Wars Calvery so yeah they might introduce elves or for warriors Duel swords/Axes

And also If abaddon is dead then... the idea of nightfall of the fallen god could be true about Grenith's preceeder which he defeated...Maybe The frozen wasteland is least likley because what are we going to see Giant Mutant Penguins South america is possible. Crystal desert and Elona are connected so .... "Utopia" and Maguma Jungle could be connected

None of this is Offical just my thoughs

sorry for dbl posting but. This is from the Guild Wars Prophicies game book. Saul Wondered through a dense forrest (Magumma Jungle) For several days ,Surviving on roots and berries. On the Fourth day, Delirious with hunger,Saul Ererged from the treees to see what he thought was a hallucination - a city of massive towers reaching into the heavens. The architecture was astounding and the creatures who lived here were unlike any he had ever seen.Walking down into their city, Saul got a closer look at the denzins of this place. They were tall and thin with strange wing-like appendages that waved about in the slightest breeze. When they walked their weet seemed not to touch the ground , and when they spoke it was the most melodious sound he had ever heard....This has to be the Mursat if not a relative of them because it sure sounds like them. and the story has to do with the invisable gods. Or you are a mursat and you join with the humans to defeat a evil god/demon/Being

That was a hoax. It was a trailer from L2. Nothing to do with Guild Wars.

And that was the Mursaat that Saul saw no question about it.

If you ever played Prophecies, it is already known that the "Unseen Ones" are the Mursaat.

I don't think GW will allow us to play any other races, it defeats the purpose of balanced skill play. I can't really explain it but a lot of the builds are base on skill, we can't just end up having elves, dwarves, mursaat, corsairs, etc. and start throwing them in Heroes Ascent. You are looking at an MMORPG fantasy type game since GW is an CORPG.

I think Anet will in future allow other races to be played but only in skin form. As you said it would screw up balance to have a whole bonus effect on other races (unless it was restricted to PvE).

And when they ever do create other races i am willing to bet the Tengu are up first. They must have quite abit of lore behind them.

tengu dervish*shudder*

well get ready for it......

We already have confirmation from a community rep from Anet Germany that "Guild Wars:Utopia" is not the name of the next chapter. It is "the project name for an unannonced project".

Companies will often give little "code names" to a project while a movie, game, or other product is still in development. They do this to prevent the REAL name from leaking out. So while Guild Wars: Utopia is NOT the name of the next GW chapter, it is very likely it is the Project Name for the next chapter.

We can still use this to guess at what the plot may be.

I dont think Prophecies had any consistant them.

Ascalon -> 1500's Europe
Shiverpeaks -> Purely Fantasy.
Kryta -> South American, kinda.
Maguuma -> Yet to think of any place like it.
Crystal D -> Any random Desert with a touch of Fantasy.
Ring of Fire -> Yet to think of any place like it.

You can hardly say that Maguuma, the Shiverpeaks, the Crystal Desert or..
No infact i dont see any Greek at all.

Lol what? there's even a place (on earth) named that, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ring_of_Fire

and the amazing coincidence is that it has "volcanic activity" and have you ever seen the Hawaiian islands?

hmmmm.... interesting...i was kindof thinking of a viking or pirate theme

Elona reach-campaign 3

Zhelon reach-campaign 4

ahhhhhhh!!!!

If your right, I'll give you 10,000 gold in cash.

But sadly your not, so I don't think you'll ever see it.

On topic:

The next chapter suggested to be in the northern lands. Northern lands might also refer to charr, as they had an area called that in the same way right?

But I'm guessing northern lands means north of tyria, beyond the shiverpeaks, who knows whats up there?

We have no leads besides Saul and *cough* Zehlon....man I just hope they announce the game soon . That way we can stop speculating and start talking about all the new features .

Just going to note that no chapter was ever named Guild Wars: Elona so even if it had the smallest chance of it being Zhelon the name would still be unknown. Plus Zhelon has no relations to any other civilisations crossing through like Elona Reach.

I personally hope they return to a more medieval theme. As despite the fact that Arena.net says that Prophecies was European, it included many other cultures. As it was, Prophecies was more of a western European, what about an Eastern European theme such as Russia, Hungaria, and Byzantine.

i ment the continent but....o well, always get people confused, ofcource it doesent have any relation, they starting a new game that could possibly be on a diffrent world?!?!and still need to look up if zhelon means anything, ill get right on it....might lead to the title really i dont care anymore, its almost Feb.

Drascir will make an apperance, I'd almost bet on it.

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Drascir

"The city of Drascir, former capital of Ascalon, lies far beyond the protection of The Great Northern Wall, due north of Surmia. It fell into the hands of the invading Charr years ago."

What i was trying to say is that Elona Reach plays a major role in the game whereas Zehlon does not seem to have anything special about it other than having "Reach" in its name.

*Smiles omnisciently*

You, my friend, have said what I was going to say, but I didnt know if anyone would really catch that (Not really that super genius but it was a little out there)

Anyway yeah, I think it will have to do with:
-The Mursaat Homeland/Seer Homeland
-Drascir and the Charr's homeland
-A place with many different climates like Prophecies, only slightly colder.
*A large forest that extends out of the maguuma
*A southern Canada like area above Ascalon (Not really super cold but getting there)
*The place above Kryta
*The furthest extent of the shiverpeaks
I hope Anet doesnt rush this one, PLEASE use the entire team like you did with prophecies, I can wait a year, especially because the campaigns are being over-rushed and lack depth. We also need sometime to get bored of Nightfall and rush back to Factions and Prophecies (which were both solid games btw.)

I have never herd of that place, anyone else besides these two????? anyways, it has to be part of the game, mybe not a major role but atleast a mission town....

everyone remember we got alot more games, this one game dosent have to cover all of the questions still un answered.
