Valaraukar.7652 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Hello all. It was announced month ago but the 5th extension is coming this year (after the last part of the 4th extension for people who haven't read it before). Today a little teasing about it. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-our-latest-quality-of-life-feature-cosmetic-inspection/ I will not speak about the new feature released tomorrow but it's to speak about the picture teased in the news. What does the news image remind you of? For me, it's remind me the old ascalon from gw 1. So a little back in the north land of ascalon ? (A travel in time maybe ?) What does this picture make you remind ? 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Reminds me more of Brisban, but it could easily be further east of Ascalon Not the deep ocean or underground sadly which was my little hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanguigasm.1325 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) It reminds me of pre searing ascalon, at the same time grothmar valley Hopefully it's happening somewhere in northern kryta or ascalon and we can go back to dealing with worldly issues like centaur war or human-charr truce Edited April 15 by sanguigasm.1325 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or maybe the extension of blood legion territory) And yes, would like to see something on deep ocean too. 4 minutes ago, sanguigasm.1325 said: It reminds me of pre searing ascalon, at the same time grothmar valley Yep the beautiful pre searing (that was i wanted to say by old ascalon). And yes grothmar vally (blood legion territory) make me some vibe from gw 1 pre searing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirius.4510 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Ascalon was definitely what came to mind. It could plausibly be just about anywhere temperate though. Including somewhere in Cantha, including a new continent, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoseofGilead.8907 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Yeah, big pre-searing Ascalon and/or Blood Legion/Charr Homelands vibes for me. Edited April 15 by RoseofGilead.8907 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I would love it to be east of Ascalon, I've been curious about what's out there since I first started GW1 and not only have we never gone in that direction, as far as I know it's never even been talked about, so it's a total mystery at the moment. I agree it could be almost anywhere temperate though. Likely on the continent of Tyria, but impossible to say where exactly. I hope it's somewhere new though, somewhere we've never been in GW1 or GW2, rather than returning to a location from GW1. The full world map shows a lot of unexplored land. Including 2 new continents and an island or penninsula to the west, and a huge chunk of land east of Tyria and Elona. We don't know how far south Cantha goes either. So there's a lot of possibilities. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randin.5701 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I'm seeing Ascalon as well. Core-game Ascalon is primarily Iron Legion territory, and with Grothmar Valley we got a peek at the Blood Legion's lands, so . . . Ash Legion Homelands expansion maybe? I'd be down for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randulf.7614 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 If Verdant Cascades (looks like the closest bet), perhaps we are following the footsteps of the missing Kodan wizard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralporing.1957 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Pre-Searing Ascalon was my first reaction as well. Not likely to happen, of course (unless in a fractal), so the next likely place would be Charr lands somewhere. Dalada Uplands, maybe Sacnoth Valley. Although tbh neither those nor Verdant Cascades should have the same type of forest look Pre-Searing Ascalon had, so they are all a far worse match visually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Well, I will be the oddball and say it reminds me of Drizzlewood Coast. Of course... Drizzlewood Coast overlaps with the Guild Wars map Verdant Cascades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Ascalon side, there are also some bodies of water south of Grothmar and east of Fields of Ruin that could potentially go the swampy route.

Dolce Luce.6529 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 If we take into account the new map Compass Rose that got introduced with End of Dragons and the position of Secrets of the Obscure in the North Eest, it seems probable that the other three positions (North East, South East and South West) will be somewhat filled out. Going from that, the North East seems the most likely candidate, seeing the screenshot. It would appear Ascalon North of the Wall and the other Charr Legion Homelands would go there... (Or we might not use the Compass Rose at all and just go somewhere on an existing part of the map ;)) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
