Do you ever wonder why only male gods (Grenth, Balthazar) have their own accessible realms (UW/FOW)? Why don't female gods like Dwayna, Lyssa and Melandru have their own "region" that players can access like UW/FOW?

Is there a gender discrimination mindset at Anet? Do you want to have new accessible realms of the goddesses in Cantha? Please pleave your opinion here and hope that Anet will listen to its customers .

By the way, what are the names for new realms will be? Leave your suggestion here -> may be Anet will use it when they implement these new realms. My suggestion is:

Dwayna's Flying Island, Lyssa's Underwater World and Melandru's Forbidden Jungle .

Waiting until later to add them...? That's an excellent opportunity to add content as the game goes on, instead of all at once right now. I'll bet that they eventually add those realms, but not until they exhaust other ideas first (Who knows what those might be).

We can only hope that they will be unlocked in the future. Personally I cant wait to see what kind of realm will there be for Melandru. Lush forest and foliages with wild animals everywhere?

Maybe it will be like the SF addition. Or maybe they just want us to grind more faction for the "Elitist" missions.

I also hope that they make use of the other gods, an area dedicated to Lyssa would be awesome.

One question though, "Lyssa's Underwater World" ? That doesn't exactly follow Lyssa's theme.

I know it is not exactly fit with Lyssa theme but an underwater area is way too cool to explore, don't you think? I dream about enter Lyssa's realm which is a beautiful underwater environment and fight with all kind of marine monsters. It is kind of rediculous when we fight marine monsters walking ON the surface of the jade sea like in Faction now.

Dude, Balthazar's a girl, obviously! Haven't you seen Mulan or Yentl? >_>;

Those sound like really bad theme park rides...

May I suggest this completed list:

Balth: Fissure of Woe
Grenth: The Underworld

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dwyana: Final Paradise
Either an open space filled with sunlight and clouds and utterly Care Bare-ish. I mean, how awesome would it be to fight atop the clouds themselves?.... Or perhaps a less blinding area similar to Ascalon's Pre-Sear? Pretty green fields, a nice river, the very picture of a pleasant day for a stroll.

Lyssa: The World Between
I envision a cave-type enclosed space very, very similar to Glint's Dragon's Lair. The rainbow colour scheme used in D's Lair, the warping between sections--that would be so cool, and befitting of the twin goddesses who are associated with The Mesmer and The Mind. Make it semi-psychedelic (but please, forgo the Christmas Lights that appear in the ranger and warrior worlds of D.Lair), and have the idea be that Lyssa stands for a world apart from the more material Balthazar and Melandru, and having nothing to do with the spiritual Dwayna or Grenth. This is The World Between Worlds, that of the mind.

Melandru: Gaia's Refuge
A sacred land that was spared the curse of Shiro's scream, this space on the border of the Kurzick and Luxon territories was hidden away by the gods in an effort to protect at least one small plot from becoming petrified/jade'd. Now even this land has come under attack and, not unlike helping Balthazar with the Menzies in the Underworld, your party helps Melandru protect nature's goodness from this threat.

Every time I think of Melandru and forest, I think of tree huggers. Hahaha, I can imagine it already: Melandru's Protected Grounds, everyone here is required to have ungroomed pits and tiedye shirts are optional.

Ahahahaha, oh man.

Hey, since Lyssa is the God for Mesmers and Mesmers mess the mind with their illusion magic and all. Why don't they make some weird psycho stage thing with twisted quests that really mess with the players minds and all. That would be sick.

Lyssa's Pleasure Dome?

Dwyana's Little Bit O' Heaven?

You know, I must say I am a wee bit surprised we didn't get a Underworld/Fissure of Woe sort of thing for one of the Three Ladies.

Its ok tho, I think we all need to know that they will be coming for them, and with one of them probally a new FoW like armor. It'll be fun and a blast when we get that oppurtinuty with a our characters.

If I had a nickel for every time this has come up, I'd be at least twenty-five cents richer.

It's still a good idea, though.

I dont think it is discrimination as much as grabbing the two elements taht seemed the most present in the Tyrian Saga. Death and Destruction were rampant. Health/wholeness, beauty, and blanced/abundant life were not present. But I also feel they stepped to far to fast. Only one deity should have come to be open. I would only have provide the FoW content. Grenthe should have been reserved for a more horror based campaign with his nature more fully revealed.

As for named areas for the goddesses:

1) Dwayna's Dome

2) a. Lyssa's Lou, or alternatively
b. Lyssa's Lantern

3) Melandru's Maze

(A lou is a wood framed tower and fore-runner to the pagoda.)

Remember, that there was a God of Death before Grenth. And he is said to have been purely and utterly evil, while Grenth is more of the Balancer of Life and more Neutral it would seem.

Note: That the former god of Death was only mentioned brifely in The Four Horsemen quest description in UW or FoW.

Hehe, the only thing left for a mesmer to counter. The radar

A maze would render the radar useless, would be great.

I'm all for it
