Bast.7253 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 All of the books in the library are in the bookshelf except one.The History of Cantha, sitting in front of the bookshelf by itself on a table.Cantha is on the table, guys! It's a clue!Echovald, here I come!Edit* And you know, all of this mists activity could attract the attention of certain individuals known for being the Oracle of the Mists!It's all coming together! These two things! Solid proof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lametoile.7394 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I've never found a consistent way to bring back Cantha rapidly in the story. But when i saw the mist were in chaos....well...everything is possible now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I really hope that's a deliberate hint, just because I love the subtlety of it and the visual pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the newb island, and I loved the city. The forest and Jade Sea were tedious and repetitive. If they DO bring back Cantha, I hope the fact that they closed their borders so many years ago means that the city has taken over the countryside. We have plenty of jungle, desert, fields and mountains. Let's do City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dami.5046 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I spent most of my playing time in Cantha, well doing Alliance battles, Fort Aspenwood and Jade quarry. That was my sunday sorted. FUN.I wasn't a great fan of the KC and that area, but I loved the Kurzick area. I loved Echovald. Faction farming FTW. I loved the music, how it matched the dark, dampness of it all, the gothic looking Kurzicks. I often wonder what the devs would of made of HzH and how grand it could of looked.There is also a cantha book in Istan and I think some of boats 'look' canthan. The chest in SS now- the xunlai one- were they not Canthan?. There are nods to that area around, but sadly just nods I think.I think people will get their wishes of heading to other lands. :/ Edit please don't get me excited for the Oracles! Shiro is dead with joko and the lich.Right? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astralporing.1957 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Cantha has always been on the table. Just next to the build templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeegee.4320 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Shing Jea was fun, Kaineng was a big pain mostly because of all the popup/dropdown spawns, and I seriously think the Jade Sea and Evachold Forest (and Luxons and Kurzicks) were the most creative of the whole Factions game.

It's basically something they add to places that have been untouched since GW1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I've had some theories going since PoF that Lw4 has so far hinted at a couple being accurate.This patch alone actually reinforced one of them to the point where i'm confident i'm correct about it.The patch also utalized a scenario I predicted before Lw4 started which was quite fun for me see play out.For Cantha.. I have a very stong feeling that's where we're going.How and why are anyones guess but I wouldn't be surprised if we (in the story) are forced to flee Tyria in the final episodes of lw4 and seek out a safe place where we can hide out, regroup our strength, enlist new allies, formulate a plan and prepare for the big showdown with Kralkatorrik.Cantha would be a safe bet that's where this would happen and where a good chunk of Lw5 could take place before the expansion gives us access to the majority of Canthan regions as well as the big showdown with Kralkatorrik who eventually persues us there.

But yes I don't think we will ever see what happened in cantha other the years.It's all too easy to assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Can we store any of the books from previous content in there, too?I am asking, because I don't feel like transferring 30 (?) books from one character (I no longer play her) to another to test this myself. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bast.7253 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Nope. You don’t actually store any. Just unlocks them through the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umut.5471 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 It would be good if we could add some empty bookshelves next to it and fill them with our books from older achievements.They waste a lot of space in my bank and on my characters but I like the lore a lot so I can't just throw them to garbage.

Kisai Hikaru.1052 Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 So I believe this has already been brought up once before somewhere but I'm gonna make a new thread on this here.First, I love the Sun's Refuge instance, and how we can build it up :D I hope we get to toy around with this for a long time still to come!Second, I noticed that one of the things you can do in there is to collect books for children to read, and they end up in a bookcase. That's great! But... can you do the same thing for all of these other books I have lying around in my inventory?I don't want to just get rid of them, but I would like it if they didn't clutter up my inventory so much :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taelac.7036 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have a bank tab that looks just like that, and I'd love to have a bookshelf in my home instance for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylien.3824 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I hope we will see Cantha someday ... it will close the Human Bow like this, and we could after Cantha HV, see something else definitely in Tyria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
