Defining the Lore of Guild Wars 2 - A Q&A with Jeff Grubb

[Shayne Hawke]

The mentioning of the Sylvari "growing up around the Pale Tree" made me think of how close in proximity Rata Sum and Ventari's Sanctuary in OGW were, and whether that means the two races are going to have home cities that are in rather close proximity to each other.

Yes me to. But because It's a new game. I think they changed the map a little bit, and made the distance much bigger.

Hrm

Yeah, yeah, but then this whole secrecy around the dragon would be pointless. ^^

Not everyone uses facebook or twitter though, I think they should put all interviews on their website too.

Maybe, but remember, the relation between the Asura and the Sylvari is highly dependent on the geography... the Asurans used the young Sylvari race as fodder for experiments. I'm sure the amount of exploration required of each race is about the same though, so maybe we'll get more activities in a smaller area with Sylvari, versus a wide expanse for the Norn and Charr.

Also, as for the multi-race groups... whichever one is the shadiest suits me just fine. I want to be as rogue-ish as possible in GW2... a mere shadow that roams the land.

I feel a new animated-art + gameplay video coming from Anet.

it's been too long!

So, while i love hearing little drops of information ( thanks for the little give-away about the three factions [i'll be in the priory, i believe]) it would make my month to see the GW2 page with it's floodgates open!

information! give us information!

[Gigashadow]

It was 3.5 months between the last 2 videos, so that would put the next one at mid-March. Hopefully they won't delay it even further until GW's 5 year anniversary.

The second trailer probably would have been released earier if Thanksgiving wasnt in the way. Everyone was on vacation so thats probably why it got pushed back to december 2

To me this kind of means that the Sylvari are most likely something sent from the human gods to fight the dragons.

The sylvari step forward when the gods step back.

The gods and the Dragons dotn get along, but the gods dont want to just give up their land.

Its also possible that the gods had nothing to do with the Sylvari and a something much more powerfull is at work, possible the creator of the Dragons or maybe the Mists itself somehow made the first born to be born.
