How we may die...

In the final cutscene of eotn' Ogdens Benediction' we can pretty much decide that this all happens at the same time otherwise that would be stupid, just jumping to different points in time(i have read some other posts where people think that it all happens in the far future and/or at different times).
Im just about to watch it in youtube to check hang on...
yeah so we see the player and the rest of the party walking off and then at the end of the cutscene(presumeably right after the great destroyer is killed) primordus opens an eye ans then the screen goes black and we hear primordus roaring/screeching. So it is quite possible that primordus wakes up and kills us!
HOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AY!

lay of the pills kid

"In the years to come, new threats would arise in Tyria."

...

"And the greatest threat of all was yet to come."

So definitely not.

But I switched to my +10 vs dragons shield so i survived.

Yeah, seeing as how your player character is GW2 is going to be a descendant of your GW1 character, I doubt it.

I perma formed his butt back to sleep All is good and I am married to Livia and live on the beach by LA

The GW2 page on wiki states that the next game takes place 250 years after the events of EotN. (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/GW2 under setting)

As Katsumi states, GW2 is played through your descendant....meaning your offspring. You can't have children if you're dead.

What are you on about?...

BTW, I wonder how that will work for non-human characters?
Will half-breeds be possible? (eww half-Asura half-Charr!)

That doesnt make any sense at all...

Oops! i forgot that it wouldnt make sense if you die before you have children... lol!

ewww.... abominations galore!

I dont know about you guyz but i Shagged Livia on our second date and that was way before we went to kill that ugly thing.....+ She was not with me when i went to kill The Great Destroyer.. so my line is live and should have given birth 9 month after EotN release.. =)

You guys are messed.

If the next game takes place 250 years in the future, doesn't it stand to reason that technology should be more advanced and weapons like bows, hammers, and swords would become obsolete?

Not necessarily.

Hammers where never really used as far as I know, but swords, bows etc, where used for a LONG time before guns where feasible.

As for Winnie, the end scene already HAS to take part in different times, with the scenes with Pyre, Livia, ect having to happen a while after and all the lines about the future. Plus at no part does it even hint that he woke up at the same time we left the chamber, he awakes much later. Please stop making threads and disagreeing with everything ppl tell you.

And if the marketing department at Anet suddenly decides it needs more funding/ongoing interest in GW and releases another (mini)expansion? Oh wait, we killed them off already. o.O'

This is why 11 years shouldn't be allowed to drink caffeine and use the internet.

Ritalin calms you down mirite?

As for the new technology, they used bows, swords and axes for thousands of years before guns were invented. History is full of times where technology growth stagnated i.e. the dark ages.

The civilized military used swords bows and crossbows...

Uncivilized military such as nomads and german barbarians, zulu, and Vikings favored hammers for their sheer weight and crushing capacity.. so i must correct you on that.. The reason Civilizid armies of Alexander the great and Roman armies did not used it because the weight of their bronze iron and steel armors didnt allow them to swing hammers manuverable.. On top of that the hammer vaiations were great durring the age of knights in full steel plate armor small little hammers were atached to pole-arms to litterarly crack the armor of the oponent....

If anything Hammers were use as much as swords were.. just by different military and Last time i chekced German barbarians over run Rome +)

I know smaller hammers where used but I was not sure on the huge two handed things the warriors use.
