Farohna.6247 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 How do you know they don't like them from their dreams? Who wouldn't want cute, playful foxes in their world?? It's not like they're eating the local wildlife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now imagining ArenaNet making the kits just a little larger every release, until there's a release when they just disappear... only for a pack of adolescent shrine guardians to show up at a critical moment, and for ArenaNet to comment that they've been building up to this for years... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) from my understanding they were originally native to cantha but have been following us around and playing tricks on us ever since. the commander is basically responsible for saving the shrine guardians in dragon's end so i imagine there's some attachment developed there.

Luthan.5236 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) I think they are just there to have another set of achievements - and they just liked it and wanted to continue it. Similar ot how other content is re-used. Even the fishing where normal Tyrian fish (from the first two SotO maps) can be found in the Nayos. No need to think deep about such stuff. 😄 Edit: And the diving goggles also are an invasive species lol. 😄 If the Kryptis don't like to dive every now and then ... they probably also have secretly followed us around since core maps. 😄 Edited November 12, 2023 by Luthan.5236 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthan.5236 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Maybe it was just easier to copy paste the things - without having to remove the assosicated shrine guardian kit. Don't know. I would not expext them to have thought of bigger lore stuff behind every minor thing we encounter in the game. Not really necessary to think about this to enjoy it. 😄 They might as well just have thought that people liked those little foxes. As long as there is no reason denying the possibility: It also might be possible that the Kryptis just sucked some of them into the rifts while invading Tyria. It is up to the player - if they really want to think about such stuff. That seems probably easier though ... than to expect that some of them just followed the commander everywhere since EoD.

Hadn't thought of that. Though I figure each EoD map has their own, so a group that decided to tag along. Or they spread from the kaineng fractal creation.

As someone who works in environmental science, I just wanted to point out that, unless a species is negatively effecting their new environment, they’re referred to as non-native species. And the answer to that might be yes, but they’re also very elusive creatures and maybe we’ve never noticed them before? Who knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the mini is supposed to be one who decided to join you (from the achievement description) and the npcs in Cantha (well one specific one) will talk about your shrine guardian jackal if you have the skin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
