In Topic: The Unseen Ones: A Factual And Speculative Study Of The Mursaat

When you read the Leah Stone quote, she says the following: "This place is slowly draining my soul's remaining energy." She only refers to 'this place', and says nothing of Mursaat towers. As for the vizier's quote, I agree he's referring to Mursaat towers. I merely pondered how the Mursaat were able to construct energy-denying towers. Coincidently in a place near a Bloodstone. Like I've tried to do with the Shiverpeak Bloodstone, it seems the magical properties of the Bloodstone can be used in specific ways. Just as shards of the Shiverpeak Bloodstone can be used to increase the power of weapons, perhaps pieces of the RoF-Bloodstone can be used to construct energy-denying towers. I can't post a screenshot right now, but ether towers have what appear to be pieces of a Bloodstone inside of them.
The Ring of Fire islands were their base and stronghold for keeping the Door of Komalie closed, hence, the need for a defense system (the ether towers).
There's also the hypothesis that the ether seals served a purpose other than being a defense mechanism, such as a means to absorb energy from local (organic? doesn't seem so, if they really absorb soul energy as well) organisms, energy then conveyed somewhere else. But this can be considered a forceful stomping into the realm of the endless speculations.

I mean FPS, not DPS >.>;; My boyfriend possess a high-end PC and has very bad FPS when countless hatchlings start to spawn. Mine is a laptop, so go figure how much I can render on my screen... And I'm the one with the highest survival rate thanks to me dodging all the time and using Blurred Frenzy whenever it's up.

I stopped doing AC because path 1 is absolute lagfest in the room of the first scepter. Me and my friends simply couldn't destroy the burrows fast enough to prevent dps drop dramatically. And at that moment, we simply gave up. It's impossible to dodge and destroy if you can't even see what's on your screen.

I assume the victory condition is stepping in a certain area of the plaza, since I spent a lot of time fighting endless spawns and only after I moved towards the center of the courtyard or the door for retreating the scene with the dragon triggered.

For some reason I always missed such meetings because of a wrong belief they're held in days I'm busy. Oh well, I'll try to attend next week with my Mesmer >.>
