Grogba.6204 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 ...Expect the new Jahai Bluffs map (“a treacherous landscape branded by Kralkatorrik”), the new Mythwright Gambit raid (“in which players will enter the Mystic Forge and come face to face with the djinn Zommoro[sic]”), new upgradeable armor, the legendary scepter Xiuquatl, and Sun’s Refuge,...source: https://massivelyop.com/2018/09/12/guild-wars-2s-next-living-world-episode-a-star-to-guide-us-launches-september-18-heres-the-trailer/So we have a name for the next wing and unlike various claims it's apparently not about Desmina and the aftermath of the Halls of Chains.With that out of the way, the term "Mythwright Gambit raid" has a weird ring to it. Maybe it is just massivelyop way of writing the name but to me it reads like a combination of a raid encounter and the gambit system from Queen's Jubilee. As we are also entering the Mystic Forge to face Zomorro(s) I am not sure what to think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talindra.4958 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 we get to go in and boxing with Zomorros, and if we kill him,, we get loots raining down to us :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randulf.7614 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 An odd choice for a raid subject at this point. Thought they might try and tie in with PoF/LS4 themes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryorion.9532 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I really like Zommoros related raid, I always found the whole mystic forge and stuff around it very intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry.5713 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Sounds a bit like a detour to be able to come up with a crazy raid design given the magical setting. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis.8572 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 So far the info says that we will come "face to face with Zomorros" in Mythwright Gambit, but not that we will fight him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they might try and tie in with PoF/LS4 themesThere are well discussed reasons why they cannot do this. Raids have to be a stand alone game element with minimal, almost non-existent story or else they risk becoming semi-mandatory for story-focused players - a group they have specifically stated are not a target audience for the GW2 version of raids.They basically have to be treated as a separate game within the game.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Fighting Zomorros means (choose one):There's a 20% chance that any encounter might be upscaled to Challenge ModeIf there are four (or more) members in a subsquad, there's an 80% chance they'll be capped at the damage of one randomly chosen player.Two of the squad's members will have the weapons appear as legendary.It will cost 20 mystic coins to enter the instance (per squad, not per person).More seriously, my Wild Asuran Guess is that it will be like fractals in that it tells an older story: this is how Miyani came to be Zommy's keeper.
