Theories on the end of GW1 and beginning of GW2

I have no idea if anyone has made this thread yet and if so sorry but im at work....and im bored.

So anyrate what are you theories how the GW:EN storyline will turn out, how it will overall end, and what is going to prompt GW2.

Its already known that "The Great Destroyer" is the primary enemy of GW:EN but what im wondering is how is it that coming to the great destroyer will come about and even more so will this battle take place in a part of the UW or in "The Great Forge" or whatever its called. What part are the Asura and the Norn going to play overall....and i cant remember whether or not the Sylvari or however the name is spelled will make an appearance. Its also been confirmed that charr will be enemies but also allies in the expansion. Now overall here is my theory.....bear with me as it may be long and even off-topic at some points (when i get calls i lose my train of thought).

It will start out with the fissures on all the continents (more than likely the same sort of quest chain like sunspears in kryta/cantha) to which you descend into and enter the first of 18 dungeons...fight through there la di da dida at the end of which you see one of the asura passing through a portal at which time you persue through the portal...and basically the 18 dungeons are chasing the asura also while passing through relics of the gods and what have you at the end of which you pop up in the Asuran territory. Now heres where i begin to draw blanks....namely because they put a lot of emphasis on the 18 dungeons....then exploring the new regions (kind of a fuzzy detail given on that) then something about another 3 missions if i remember right (which i dont always) at the end of which you have a battle with the great destroyer and weeeeee you have brought balance to the forsh...er...tyria. Personally i have the theory that the great destroyer was behind the Lich who was behind the Titans and the Mursaat which were behind the White mantle, the sundering of the kingdom of Orr and the destruction of Ascalon. He also being behind the demon fortune teller lady who drove shiro insane and totaly screwed over cantha. And also behind Abbadon and the margonites attempts to destroy the world. and yes yes i know it was kormir who awakened the apocrapha or however that is spelled but i am actually talking about the lore that got abbadon banished in the first place. So anyrate back to the story. You do all this exploring at which time youll meet the norn and whatever other races you happen to stumble upon at the end of which you come across charr home territory...probably murder a few of the bastards....pick up a few heroes and move along your merry way at the end of which you meet up with the Deldrimore Dwarves in the northern shiverpeaks....go through all their underground crap they built....learn about the destroyer and eventually kill em. after which will be one of those divine path'esq type areas which takes you to the hall of monuments which does....absolutely jack shit but you feel a little better inside.

Now if this is how it all ends and that which has attempted to detroy the world of tyria for god knows how long....how can there really be a GW2? theories are welcome =P

Final Cutscene

The Great Destroyer: Noooooooooooo! I am dead!

Gwen: Well, now that we've saved the world, we can-

[/sopranos]

oh noez...
they shot gwen! =O

The Great Destroyer is the pre searing rabbit.
Gwen says 'loooooook!'
and a rabbit comes out from behind a rock.

Yes, I am not original.

If the big question is "Who is the Great destroyer?" The answer is.....

FARMER DIRK! The guy has been dealing with escaping hogs for over 2 years and it's finally pushed him over the edge.

Party: Now that the Great Destroyer is dead we can party on... /dance

Gwen: (in an odd masculine voice) muhahahahah now that my rival has been put to rest you shall all bow before me, LOVE ME AND DISPAIR!, (proceeds to burn the party as she once did before)

prologe:

A hundred years have passed most of mankind is now near extinct due to the power of Gwen. With no rivals to contend with the other races begin wonder if they are next....

To the OP:

There is far to much in your theory about GW:EN plot that I disagree with to go into. But I will say that we already know Abaddon was behind the Lich, the Titans, the Fortune Teller, ect. Is The Great Destroyer behind Abaddon? Posible, but not likly. Also, Anet has said that the Eye of the North will be reached early in the game, not at the end.

But here is my theory on GW2 plot. I think it will either be about a 2nd great Guild War or a Race War.

In all seriousness I think Dhuum is the baddie.
He's lurking somewhere and he appears so far to be inspired by the devil.
So maybe he's clawing his way up from 'hell' to take over.

Well, I only have 1 thing to say. I'm glad you guys aren't the ones responsible for writing the story

(although the Farmer Dirk idea did make me laugh)

Low budget version (AKA Neverwinter Nights 2 ending): Rocks fall, everyone dies. In GW2 our descendants will go on a quest to find our legendary weaponry.

Blockbuster version, GW2 intro: "And so it is written that great heroes from the last Age upon defeating the Great Destroyer unleashed a series of events that rose the lost continent of Orr onto the face of Tyria. And thus a new World Of Wonder was born..."

Though I know it won't happen, I kind of wish that the final scene you see if a nice green blade of grass poking out from the dirt in Ascalon, signaling that the land is going to go back to normal.

Of course, I know this won't happen. more like the Destroyer dies, eyeone is happy, and someone says something corny like "Your deeds will be remembered in the Hall of Heroes forever"

That would be a great scene! Perhaps even better; one of those red flowers Gwen loved poking out.

Well whatever happens it will ultimately end with an Asura making a funny joke and everyone doing a laugh where only their upper torsos move.

It'll end with your father being burnt on a funeral pyre with the Asura dancing around it. You'll see the ghosts of Ruick and your fathers spirit looking on, and your long lost sister and your best friend will snuggle. The camera will the pan upwards where glint and kunnevang are making fireworks. All this will be overlaid with chirpy tribal music...

Firstly, I'd like to see the great destroyer is Palawa Joko, maybe still hellbent on conquering Tyria. Secondly, who's to say that we defeat this great destroyer? Maybe it is that storyline that will be picked up in GW2. Perhaps the Hall of Monuments for each account/toon is actually a masoleum.

Deep Voice Movie Guy "In a land long ruled by a powerful evil, the ancestors of once great and victorious Heros take up the call to stand against his tyranny (and possible army of Prize Winning Hogs".

ROFLED hard on this one, superb SW reference. Well played, old bean.

(sorry for double post)

We made a crack about that somewhere. It was the ghosts of Rurik and Togo standing in the background and the Asura all singing the yub nub song.

How about this. The great Destroyer is Menzies and after he is beaten and everyone celebrates, the camera zooms in on Menzies grave and a hand busts out of the ground and tag teams another mysterious hand.

Just a guess, but....

In the "in game trailer" for GW:EN from the GW Site, i believe Gwen is actually narrating the trailer and in the end the girl that lines up with the soldiers is Gwen.. 6 years older..

even gwen 6 years older is still jailbait =(

and why dont our characters age! everyone else does....ffs theres a 2 year split between presear and the start of the prophecies campaign and still the same crappy armors and weapons. i want to see 6 years of hair growth and what have you (which in turn will call for a hairdresser)

The Great Destroyer Appears as a contorted body of two being and the head speaks in a doubled distorted voice to the valiant hero:

The Great Destroyer: So these are the impertinent fleshing that has ruined my plans for the last time.

Hero: That’s what it will be; your last time.

The Great Destroyer (malicious laugh): You don’t understand do you? This is not the first time we have crossed paths. However it’s never been a face to face confrontation. You see your Gods banished us.

Hero: Us?

The Great Destroyer: That’s right you may remember a pair of two figures that brought great malice to the gods? I believe you know them as Dhuum and Menzies. We had to combined are equally thwarted powers to become one great being, after they banished us. So we formed into one and took the name of the Great Destroyer.

Hero: Impossible.

The Great Destroyer: Not really our influence remains, like that of the former fallen god Abaddon. You see we have had enough of Tyria, we no longer want to rule it; we simply want to destroy it, for the lesser gods hold it with such great admiration. Now then I imagine your death will be swift, for you will be the first to be extricated from existence.

The person who mentioned Farmer Dirk should be castrated for revealing too much info. :angry:

Farmer Dirk is the Great Destroyer.
It all makes sense now.
No wonder when trying to stop the stone summit from opening the Tome of Rubicon, I saw the world's most handsome hog peeking from the shadows.
They must be his minions in disguise.
We have been helping him rally his minions since day one!
I feel used.
/me takes a shower.

it ends like this: we see a cinematic of the dead endgame boss and then the camera zooms to the dwarf hero and we hear........a fart

At the end of GWEN, GWEN looks at us and laughs a deep masculine laugh.
Our heroes, dressed in varied garb, look bewildered.

Mhenlo, always one for the ladies, gasps in horror.
"No! I don't believe it! It can't be!"

Gwen laughs, rubbing her neck. "Yeah, wonder how you guys didn't spot it before, after you guys realized I was the most useless henchman ever."

And off comes Gwen's face as Little Thom unveils his true identity as the little girl.
"It was the only way you guys would take me along."

Mhenlo bursts out,"To think I fantasized about that!"

/credits

^ LOL

Then everyone needs to do the shaking upper body laugh.

Not a very likely outcome, but a pretty good one. With the 5 good gods gone and the 3 evil ones destoryed it would set GW2 up to be a world with out god....or new ones rising.

uuuh correct me if im wrong but the whole NF thing didnt banish or "do away" with the 5 gods....nightfall itself blocked the gods from the world for a time but was once again restored. i pretty much base this off of the gods avatars in the gates of madness mission at the very end...they still had to be present, and even more so after NF there wouldnt be HoH or favor anymore with no gods to give favor. and secondly the great destroyer is an old old old....oldoldoldoldoldold demon that fought against the great dwarf or whatever they called him and he was sealed away or some stupid typical BS like that.

What's the great destroyer going to destroy?

My guess is... the henchies. I think that he's going to murder mhenlo and the henchies in the first 1/2 of the GWEN storyline.

Think about it. With new customizable henchmen and heroes for everybody who has GWEN, the old henchmen have to go.. so out with the old and in with the new.

Mhenlo and the gang are goners.

First of all I was counting on the idea that the 5 gods were not truly gone. Second of all we still don’t know the true identity of the Great Destroyer and the Great Dwarf. So it’s pretty up in the air for speculation anyways as this thread states. I was kind of expecting the first battle between the Great Destroyer and the Great Dwarf to be a type of ruse; to hide the true meaning of the event.

Great Destroyer: Lich and Shiro's spirits combined

Great Dwarf: Rurik and Togo combined.

GO TAG TEAM FIGHT!!!

gwen is the great destoryer and kills us all. only at the end do we finally realize who she really was. hence the reason for the monuments. she's like Apocalypse from the X-Men.

Who is to stay this is the ending as some may not move on to GW2 and that there is so much space on the map?There could be more addons as well as for Cantha and Elona.They could make the map even more bigger.I doubt this is the end of GW1 and will continue on.

Great Destroyer : *breaths heavily* Do not think it ends here! *breaths some more* when I regain my power.... Tyria will burn with the blood of your desendents! *coughs* I did it once.... I can do it again!

*The Great Destroyer slowly sinks back into the lava*

*room starts rumbling and lava flies up and a bright light flashs*

Then you hear a line from someone depending where your character was born.

You find yourself in the Jungle.

abbadon+shiro+lich+......gaile

(plays transformers theme)

Yeah. Especially if Gwen dies, that would be nice finish.

My Theory: The Great Destroyer is unbeatable to all normal strategies, you fight it once and lose. You have to go back to Kormir, who absorbed abbadon's knowledge and learn some ub3r 1337 Dance moves so you can pwn him. You dance, instead of you dieing he dies, white writing flashes across the screen: The Great Destroyer got owned. He then proceeds to explode creating the sylvari and prompting gw2

gwen will take the sword of the destroyers, (an evil sword of ice @_@ zomg and we all thought he was made of fire : P ), with it she will travel to the north, gradually turning evil, then suddenly, she'll find a frozen throne and sit on it : P

i cant help but feel i've heard that somewhere : P

oh yeh. shiro and the lich come back (yet again) sporting team-rocket outfits and a new dance.....they have a mini pet mini mallyx aka meowth.

upon killing them, shiro gives birth and mallyx delivers a heatlhy new born sylvarie...all the while shouting "aaaaaaaarghhhh"

I'm still hoping for an ending where we don't win. We fight the Great Destroyer, we don't win, and the Sylvari, who we see born earlier (since we witness the birth of a new race), show up to save our collective asses.

Nice, surprising ending introducing a very badass enemy that will require the allied races to defeat centuries later (since so far, we've been able to kill a god with 8 people) and introduces us to the final new race, the Sylvari.

The Great Destroyer is infact not so great and he's working for a much more powerful evil call......The Greater Destroyer. And GD turn out to be the hero's father and Gwen is his/her sister.

Then at the end bit the Asuras will use the doomdays weapon to blow the crap out of tyria, bending time and space. Unwillingly open the gateway into the anti matteruniverse. And only the join force between current heroes and the future heroes from the mutiple Tyrias can stop the greater destroyer.

GW2 will be sub: Guild Wars 2: Crisis on infinite Tyria. Follow by the expansion pack, Crisis in time and Infinite crisis. Then the team up you'll never expect! Anet VS Blizzard: Crisis cross over.

Anyone seen my medication?
