My first thought wasn't pre-searing either but rather the Charr Homelands regions from EotN. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridian.4983 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 It would be a lot of fun to go off the current map, far west to the wetland: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tyria_(world)#/media/File%3ATyria_world_fan_map.jpg but most likely it’ll be isles of Janthir. I just don’t want to break up a fight between any remaining frost legion and white mantle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallas.8150 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) I'm just going to assume that our new map(s) will include the areas now noted by an '80' in the area, which is north of Bloodstone Fen and far north of Divinity's Reach.

That’s where the Bastion of the Penitent raid is, it’s not an open world area or a foreshadowing. They never put the new areas on the map early 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inssengrimm.7924 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I would like to see the windrose filled with all intercardinals directions. So in my opinion we could go: Northeast from Grothmar deeper into the continental landmass - It is interesting to think that most lands we have ever visited and most of the cultures we know off are very close to the shores. Only Charr come from the inner continental land. Southeast from Cantha we could explore the eastern part of the Canthan continent or even cross southern from what i would assume is the ecuator of Tyria, now if the Tyrian ecuator IS between Cantha and Elona, then we would be moving towards the actual southern pole of Tyria in that case, which is cool. Southwest from Maguuma. A brand new world awaits! It could be nice to just leave Tyria and start some kind of exploration/colonization company. I just hope the next expansion grounds things a little, and dedicates more time to storytelling and characters, make it a bit more on the political-intrigue side of things. Which i think Canthan-Krytan Politics could be a cool place to start and why going further southeast to the southern extremes of the world. We haven't explored much of this world, like at all. https://imgur.com/x54BkX7 Edited April 17 by Inssengrimm.7924 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Expansion 5 we will go back in time and we will experience the plot of the prophecy once again! Basically, Expansion 5 is a remake of the Prophecy! So it's a prequel to the sequel. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure The Heartless.3261 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I've been thinking about this for a bit. The past expansion we had showed that fractals of alternate realities can coalesce into explorable pockets of a world where the timeline has been significantly altered. What if this is a subset of that? An expansion based around an AU where the Searing never happened, Adelbern never was pushed to use the Foefire, and all of the ramifications that result from that inversion of plot (like the Charr never marching on Orr under Titan direction?) Could be neat. You might actually be able to work that pretty well into the story, by having the dimensional pocket just affect AU ascalon and having the higher ups aware that there's something screwy in the timeline, but actively preventing the Ascalonian citizens from becoming aware of it via propaganda, etc. Edited April 17 by Azure The Heartless.3261 adjusted for plot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be asset reuse. Could be we are going east. I think throwing theories around is safe right now given the possible options 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) I don't see any pine trees in the Verdant Cascades screenshot. Could be Verdant Cascades, could be somewhere else.🤷♀️ Perhaps, we will be adventuring in Woodland Cascades and this will be the story: The Complete Art of Guild Wars: ArenaNet 20th Anniversary Edition, pg. 123: [Centaurs] lived on the plains of Kryta long before any other, and they have never forgotten when the humans stole away their lands. While war rages between the two races, it is said that they are gathering somewhere in the Woodland Cascades—preparing an attack to reclaim their home.

But not quite the same. So I guess we'll see where it is! Personally I still think it's somewhere around the charr homelands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many players, including myself, immediately thought of that Prophecies shot when first seeing the image. Given that it's GW1's 20th anniversary soon, I could easily see them doing a Prophecies-based map or plotline (Such as finally dealing with the Foefire/ghosts). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noidea Incognito.9607 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Personally i hope its an expansion about indiscovered lands, inhabited by Eons old Charr tribes following ancient rites, cultures and long-lost magics; The Charr in their purest raw form, also still waiting for the Khan-ur's return and still believing Humans are a scourge on their lands that needs to be purged. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel that, considering how much Tyria has changed since GW1 and hardly looks the same anymore at all, that it's really suspicious if something looks the same as it did before lol 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The picture looks kinda like a rollerbeetle track ... Slope is too inclined... Wish the water would splash sideways when zooming through that water puddle at the end of the slope.. that would look super cool 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can never be a shoreline from that angle. It must be the silhouette of a hill or mountain. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, now look at the water below the hill/mountain. You can barely see it, but there's clearly a difference in coloration that seems to denote a body of water just past the fallen coniferous tree and between the two still upright, just below that barely-visible hill/mountain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wait for an Asura centered expansion. They did us so dirty with Primordus, we deserve a proper Asura expansion. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
