[Column] Guild Wars 2: Is the Destruction of Lion’s Arch Imminent?

in News & Features Discussion

Tyria has gone through some changes during the Living Story. They've been small and mostly temporary, but it seems a much larger change is on the horizon. A change that would could result in the destruction of an entire city! The players in Guild Wars 2 have been waiting for the Living Story to have a major impact on Tyria. They've fought off new armies, elected political officials, and hunted Scarlet. Now all the pieces are about to come together, and the end result may be more than we bargained for.

Lion’s Arch will burn.

    It's the last jumping puzzle Scarlet needs, just below the city.

    It will be very cool to see what new hub comes from LA being destroyed.  We already know from the massivley preview that many of the functions that LA had will be moved north to the Vigil Keep.  Is that a long term solution though?  Probably not in its current form.

    It would also be pretty neat to see LA being rebuilt over the course of the next living story as well.

    it will not be destroyed, because LA related with personal story, they will not change personal story, so it must survive some how

    I never liked that city, because it is the longest loading map in the game.

    It looked really great.

    they will prob make u all start grinding some more to 'rebuild it' with 'special' LA tokens to buy time to actually comeout with an 'offcial expac'..somethign many drop outs have requested for.

    <.<

    thats my take on this.

This is the sort of thing that would lend an unpredictability to the games that almost every mmo lacks. Even with sandbox pvp mmos players generally pvp in the same places over the same things and the world essentially remains static. This could be a very cool change.

     

    well since party of story is teh invasion of Lions Arch, it will be rebuild, with maybe some upgrades here and there, waht can happen is they make a new town or let teh operation base against scarlet still up as a new town or even map, we will see when the time happens

    FOR HONOR, FOR FREEDOM.... and for some money.

    LA involved to Wintersday and Hallowin, so it will not be destroyed

    otherwise they need to build these events again

    It will be destroyed, we pretty much already know this based on what the developers have been saying it sounds like for the foreseeable future, Lions Arch's time as a city hub is done. They've already outlined how the changes will be dealt with, personal story will enter Lions Arch through alternative means. They've told us to get all of our alts LA map completion done, as it will be significantly more difficult to achieve after this event.

    Maybe something like what happened to the city of Ascalon in the first Guild Wars

    I have had a chance to play in new update and was really fun Experience. I really would like to see it being rebuilt as part of the new living story. One thing I didn't like is the NPC's are of a higher level then players are. We are capped at level 80 and many enemy NPC's are level 84. But still a fun update so long as it isn't  permanent.

    I like the update also.  It is a lot of fun.  Perhaps they will do like WOW.  Destroy the city then rebuild it bigger and better.
