I just hope the continent is something different from the usual Noob Isle and Mainland setting. I hope it is similar to Tyria whereas rather than getting to lvl 20 on the isle you chase lvl 20 throughout the REAL story.

you guys dont see the greco-roman in nightfall? (paragons??)

Ehecatzin FlyingCrab · Nov 20, 2006, 05:13 AM // 05:13

Yes, I've seen them...but then again, have you seen the asasins?..and elona doesnt seem very asiatic. the fact that we have paragons, doesnt garantee we'll have a a greco roman theme next chapter.

Oren The Destroyer · Nov 20, 2006, 05:17 AM // 05:17

I hope they make an entirely different game, not associated at all with guild wars, because i dont want to see in 3 years: GW9: Cynn got pissed again.

Ehecatzin FlyingCrab · Nov 20, 2006, 05:22 AM // 05:22

well, I imagine the main henchies we got to know since ascalon...Devona and Co. will be done with the Abbadon trilogy, and that we will get another...X and Co. to go along the new chapters.

First of all, there's a lot of reference in Tyria about things in the norht, gigants, the char and another pass through the shiverpeaks, so if chapt 4 is going to the north lands its not going to be a new continent, just north Tyria. This North lands will likely only have tundras and ice waaaaaay to the north, because they have tyrian swamps and the maguma just a lake away from it. so...trying to make my point clear. The Tyrian north lands will look more like North america, just going from jungles to plains, huge forests and finnally snow. all of this with the continuation of the shiverpeaks that will divide plains from forest.

so..no new continent, just north Tyria because it would be the same land mass...of course all of this IF chapt 4 is going north...I think its about time, we have only explored south.

Just a lake away doesnt really matter much in Tyria, you go from Griffons Mouth(icy cave), right into a warm Krytan Beach(Scoundrels). But going north I think has been mentioned as where chapter 4 takes place. Dont remember where I saw it though.

It might come back to the current settings in ch5 or so.

Expanding on this, ANet said that Nightfall tied up Proph and Factions loose ends, so seeing as all the stories are over, and the ends tied up, yes a new continent is in order, possibly completely oblivious to the existance of Tyria, Cantha and Elona. And in which case it would be interesting to see us as heroes arrive there seeking a source of evil or some random thingo.

Edit:
Yeh, now On Topic...
Hmmmmm
Considering we could revist the Charr "Northlands", i reckon something like...
Faidur?
Dunno, im a very Tolkien person!

Yes, you might expect a Charr name, but thered have to be people up there otherwise- why the hell would i go there?!
But then again its possible that we might ally the Charr, which wrecks Prophecies, scratch that one.

And people say Cantha was Asia, but Russia is in Asia as well, and they didn't use any Russian themes. There are still a LOT of things they could do.

I doubt anyone wants to see a French warrior running away from a monster ^_^.

As to specific names Im not that good at names lol

The Paragons and Warriors already wear man skirts. Lets go Scotish instead. Now they had fun.

I rest my case....

I think the shiverpeaks are the appilactain mts. and the desert texas, in the Reviluytion time.(in a rush sry for SPing)

guys gaile gray has said it there is a creenshot in gwguru somewhere but i couldnt find it if you want dearch for your own gw4 will be in antarctic north theme and there are spoilers in the manual too about elona that started trading with the northenlands so lets all w8 for vikings and dwarves and maybe some giants;

Thomas.knbk · Nov 21, 2006, 02:10 PM // 14:10

They said NF was the last of the shiro/titans triology so I think it won't have anything to do with it. Perhaps northlands, or somewhere completely different

Well, Russia is 1/3 European and 2/3 Asian (Ural divides Europe from Asia). I'd love to see some slavic themes in Ch4. Slavic mythology is great anyway (just as any other mythology). But I think Anet will give us Arctic/Antarctic chapter 4, which IMHO is not the best choise.

hmm perhaps you are right so we may see an ally of menzies and dhuum or grenth and they will try to awake the giants(see giganticus lupicus)

Just because an animal lives only in the south in the real world doesn't mean they have to be in the south in Tyria. There's no Antarctica in GW, after all
