That isn’t to say that there wouldn’t be underwater content but just that it would be minimal like what we’ve seen in post core Tyria maps. I don’t recall many water areas in GW’s Cantha other than the Jade Sea and we don’t know whether it has reverted back to normal. I expect in part it has, not fully reverted back.. same for the Echovald forest. I'm hoping to see the Jade sea as areas of significant water with both natural islands and jade islands/bergs in it. I wanna see underwater tunnel networks in the jade too that lead down into pockets or restored sea giving us a look at what the world looks like under all that Jade which we never really got to see back in Gw1 I'm also hoping that many of the creatures frozen in the Jade will come back to life unpetrified, especially the Naga who were friendly when they were petrified thus didn't share the fate of their kin who survived the Jade Wind and became hateful, racist monsters intent of eradicating humans. This would be a good way to redeem the Naga race in Gw2 imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colossus did move North from somewhere according to the torch collection. So much we haven't seen. Olympus and Arid sound really interesting. Forsaken Cliffs and Thunder Cove are definitely my most wanted areas of the larger map. I really hope we get to see them some day. The Isle of Dawn too, that sounds awesome. Every time I see that island I just imagine an amazing colorful sunrise with the color palette of the legendary precursor dawn. Or maybe I’m picturing dusk... with red? Lol one of those 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point they'll have pretty much covered all the areas we visited in GW1 (aside from relatively small areas, like the rest of Istan or patches of the Tarnished Coast) so after that they'll have to focus on somewhere new, somewhere we've never been before and know nothing about. I'm very curious about what's out there in all that 'unexplored' land, and whether it's unexplored by the people of Tyria in-universe or if they do know about it and it's just never mentioned in the story because it's not been relevant to what we're doing. I’m not sure what’s more exciting at this point, cantha or what comes after! It’s great though to feel so excited for not just the short term, but the foreseeable future 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we do, I suspect it may be a "clean up" arc, some more maps in Central Tyria covering stuff like Malyck's tree, the centaurs, finally clearing up the ghost problem once and for all. a Wizard's tower raid, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expansions have so far only brought 4-5 new maps. If that tradition holds, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Living World season/saga whatever after EOD expands on Cantha some more, similarly to what S4 did for Elona. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 There were plenty of areas of water in Guild Wars. Your character just could not enter any of the water areas. Example: Fisherman's Haven, Sanctum Cay, Tears of the Fallen, Port Sledge, etc. Also, there were bodies of water that were frozen, and characters could walk on those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be kind of a pathway to cantha. The expansion logo suggests it is very water-oriented - maybe the sea journey to cantha will be a major part of the introduction to the story? I wish we had a underwater dungeon! Its hard to avoid comparations, but in other games I've played dungeons inspired in the bottom of the ocean, with like half men half fish races like krait.

It's fan made, but it is likely, we will get a in game map like this, when the expansion releases, which imo is much more immersive than in GW1: https://wiki.guildwars.com/images/a/a2/Tyria_world_fan_map_%28freestyle%29.jpg Wow.

Faridah.8431 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I know 90% of people hated it in GW1, but I really look forward to seeing how they handle a dense urban city like Kaineng City in GW2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly Kaineng City is what I am most excited to see 250 years later, followed very quickly by the Jade Sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally up for it, really feel like the Underwater combat needs to be doubled down on sometimes ^^ its so good and just needs a bit more love, not to mention they don't have to be 100% Underwater Combat. I am very sure that when we got some krait lore it was pointed out that they keep air pockets in their homelands for those they capture to keep them alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faridah.8431 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Yeah or even just maritime on a bigger scale than skiffs on the way to Cantha would be fun. I always thought that was sort of missing with sky ships and such. Given the ending of the last trailer though, seems we are still with sky ships though, so not really expecting much for water/maritime between Tyria and Cantha.

Gw2 is anet's only game, so they either keep developing it, or start on gw3, which I honestly see no reason to. The game's graphics and combat hold well.

I still remember the first time I played Factions, I was fully prepared for a Kung Fu panda/Mists of Pandaria experience, which I really didn't care for, but the first time I stepped foot in Kaineng City's slums I wow'd out loud. The jade sea and echovald's cathedrals are some of the more interesting fantasy enviroments, but the slums were the highlight for me. So different from anything I've ever seen in any game. I was overjoyed when I saw snipets of them in the trailer, because I was worried Anet might have chosen to go with a cleaner, more safe depiction of Cantha.

alcopaul.2156 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Both of the pictures are fan maps. that means the official maps can be not those and are subject to change... remember cartography during the 1500's and see how funny and borkborked the depiction of even continents and archipelagos from there.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
