Randulf.7614 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I am confused about the location of Drakkar Lake in this episode.The POI for Silfhalla is to the far west of this map and in GW1, Silfhalla was NE of Drakkar Lake. So does that mean the fractured lake seen here is not related to the GW1 lake (it''s certainly a lot smaller)? And that Drakkar's Lake is either off map under the ice/glacier or at The Den of Whispers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernRedStar.3054 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 The lake "spread" as of Jormag's awakening, as he/she makes coastal areas flood and water levels rise. Hence, rivers become lakes and lakes become small sub-continental oceans. The reason the former lake is now dark-iced, is presumably the increased effectiveness and range of Drakkar's (Jormag's) whispers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foozlesprite.8051 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I got the impression that the majority of the lake proper is still to the west where it used to be, and that Drakkar has tunneled toward Bjora under the ice. That would explain Sifhalla's position as well as the wide expanse of ice/water still seen to the west past Bjora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are both definites. It is possible it was either by the cold area of bitterfrost or the large glacial area marked as water south of Drakkar Lake.

Bast.7253 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 So, northwest of Eye of the North then? I was wondering too and it seems like that giant watery area is where Jormag is. With some of the teasers for this season at PAX I wondered if we wouldn't be kind of going around in a circle around the area unlocking different maps. Like, maybe next map we go south from where we are now and see some new open world sun's refuge style eye of the north. Then we go west to the woodland cascades. And we just kind of go around. Though I wouldn't be surprised if we just go directly to Jormag's resting area next episode, confront Bangar, and then get some new baddy to chase. I've noticed a theme of stars and time throughout these episodes. The stars part could align nicely with Jotun being from this area, and I'm kind of sad we haven't seen any Jotun or ancient Jotun civilizations. Was really hoping we would get lore on some of the more intricate and lesser known lore of this area. We get tidbits about the spirits of the wild but they're completely focused on Braham. No Jotun lore. No origin story or background on the elder dragons, which may be coming later when we have another chat with Jormag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were one of the races that helped defeat against the Elder Dragons before, and we seriously need to start treating "we need to deal with these dragons but we can't kill any more of them" with the seriousness it deserves. We need to be devoting resources and time to finding a way to put them to sleep again, replace them with something else like Aurene, kill them without consequences, something. Learning more about Jotun history could help with that, not to mention it's an interesting mystery in its own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What map was that? I only played briefly and don't think I saw it in gw1. Was it a bonus mission or something? I think it had to do with the gods maybe? Would be interesting to see if they try to tie that in somehow in a future release.Or for that matter if they tried to tie in the voice we hear in the new Dwarven fractal, especially with how many dwarven ruins we've had added in between Thunderpeaks and this new map. The raven puzzle architecture looks dwarven to me, but why would the dwarves have built these structures around a spirit of the wild? Just asset reuse maybe?

Looking at That Shaman's historical guide it places it right in the middle of that giant body of water. So I'm guessing there's probably nothing left of interest there anyway. I also didn't realize how close Bitterfrost Frontier was to Eye of the North. If Jormag is north of Bitterfrost and the Bitter Cold area then that puts him really close to Eye of the North, which without spoilers is interesting considering recent events. Were they both ultimately drawn to that area? Or just coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bast.7253 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Oh, and actually looking at the map again - there is one chunk of landmass that looks like it could line up pretty nicely with where the Valajar stone circle is. But it's difficult with the differences between maps.So it's still a possibility they could do something with it in a future map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan.4381 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 They need to stop creating new maps from almost scratch, they suck. Drakkar lake in gw1 is so much better, in every aspect : you're immersed, it feels huge and Dangerous, and graphic fits way better than gw2's. Damn it ANET stop pushing stupid maps for the sake of it. And add more gw1 soundtracks in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbru.6014 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The Kodan in Still Waters mention in their dialogue how Elder Dragons change the land. Hence the differences of Drakkar Lake between GW1 and GW2. Though it is a little strange that the Norn don't seem to acknowledge the changes, considering how prominent Drakkar Lake is in their legends. I mean, we all know the Norn generally tend to be literal-minded -- it's a frozen lake and Drakkar is in it, so they call it Drakkar Lake, whether the maps actually still match or not. But still, it's a little weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blur.3465 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I've been wondering the same, then I decided to refresh my memory from GW1 by looking at GW1 Map.It would appear that they just connected Bjora Marches and Jaga Moraine, while leaving the REAL Drakkar Lake still covered/unexplored.Looking at where Sifhalla is, it's clear that we're not seeing the real Drakkar Lake map.Here's the map:This is GW1 map of Bjora Marches, Jaga Moraine and location of Sifhalla and Drakkar.This is GW2 map of Bjora Marches, with marked location of Sifhalla.Honestly, it's confusing me. A lot seems to be changed and sometimes I really have a hard time connecting and recognizing some locations.From what I'm seeing here, a lot of map is sooooo different and doesn't really match with former.
