Reference to Orr or chapter Four

I was looking something on wiki and founded this:

QUOTE

"My library is a wonder of the world, young one. Ancient scrolls, text from Tyria, ancient Orr, Istan and Kourna, and all the strange places throughout the world can be found within its walls. I even have stone tablets that were found on an island far off the coast... an island that mysteriously disappeared thereafter. Ha! I see I have your attention. Yes, my library is magnificent. I encourage you to come and see for yourself."

Is it Orr or the newest chapter?

Orr and the Orrian Shards/Tablets.

I want Orr as Ch 4 anyways. Their story is so interesting!

Maybe trough a portal in Lions Arche you can get in the past to see how Orr was being destroyed, and then you can go to the place where Orr is now.

I LOVE THAT STORY

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

Yes, actually it would be a very very nice strategic move from Anet to create chapter based on events BEFORE Prophecies. I mean why not? Pre-Searing was not the beginning of time, we moved forward in Factions, Nightfall was also basically after Prophecies. So it would be wise to cling on some older elements of GuildWars, such as Orr, the Charr, the Druids of the Maguuma, or the mysterious Northern Threat.
Those themes are perfect for a new chapter and Anet wouldn't even have to think hard how to make up a new chapter, it is given!

Can you imagine if they made a chapter for the Charr? You play as a Charr character, invading Ascalon, Kryta, Orr! Splendid story!!!

I think going back in time is a good choice, many unresolved, unexplained hints were present in Prophecies.
Since so many people want to see the Charr again, making Ch 4 based upon Orr and the Charr invasion seems totally fitting.

So what if the end of the Campaign is not a happy end, and Orr blows up and everyone dies/goes to the Mists? That is fine!

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

Or maybe Orr is actually located IN the Mists, now. The tragedy of Orr may have created some sort of portal between the Mists and the realm of the living... Sometimes this causes spirits to come back and wander among the ruins on the bottom of the sea, or fishermen to return home mute and with their hair all white, or... it lets the living that find the portal cross to the other side and find out what really happened to Orr.

So far, no one among the living actually knows what happened, but plenty of people have disappeared where once the Kingdom of Orr was. Accidents? Or is something intent on keeping Orr's fate a secret? Once you pass through the portal, will you be able to come back?

(Insert maniacal laughter here.)

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

The time diffrence between prophecies and Nightfall is 3 years.

I hope that we can fight in this war. Set up some tactial battle points like Nightfall, I want to see the time before the Pre-Searing, cause Abadon did alot of the dammage in Tyria, Cantha and Elona, At the last part of this page it says something very important Maybe there is a greater enemy then Abadon

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

Ah see so ever since Prophecies Anet moved forward in time.

Let's move backwards, to the past. Those Guild Wars you mentioned sound similar to faction wars in Factions, which is great. I wouldn't mind a vast huge continent divided into what..3 or 4 parts with much more similar missions to Fort Aspenwood and Jade Quarty. I loved those mission based PvP, it was awesome, and I hope they will make more such outposts where opposing teams can battle it out!

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

You can choose your side: Orr, Kryta, Ascalon
Every side has its special weapons. The missons will be infiltrating in to the other sides.

Hope A-net checks this thread

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

Oh yeah and they should put some rewards for valiant fighters.
What I mean:
-For example in Kryta, if you win many battles and kill many opposing "faction" members you will be able to wear those awesome White Krytan armors you saw on Krytan soldiers in Prophecies.

Special weapons: Yes yes, cool idea. Each "faction" has their own set of weapons, different in looks. (Of course no difference in stats to make it balanced) Also a reward that once you win a lot of battles and kill opponents you will able to get their weapons, for example a Krytan wearing Orrian looking weapons.

Name of the chapter:
-Guild Wars: Prelude
-Guild Wars: Genesis

It could be a chapter focused heavily on PvP, like Factions BUT BUT BUT also many PvE elements in a sense of having separate missions for each "faction".
You are an Ascalonian, so you have to do missions against Krytans and Orrians.
You are an Orrian, so you have to do missions against Krytans and Ascalonians....etc.

Maybe the PvE doesn't necessarily have to involve Monsters all the time but humans instead. Of course there would be indigenous creatures as well but the main point is the war between these "factions".
Yes it would be mainly PvP like Factions but it could easily have PvE part as well, pretty lengthy if you think about it, each faction has 2 enemies means 2 separate PvE parts.

EDIT: one character could switch allegiance but only after a series of quests to gain trust.
After that the PvE part would be...hm...how long? 6 parts. Nice!

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

I like the trust thing

It would look like this:

Chapter 1: The Guild Wars
- You can choose to fight with different "factions"
- Gain trust with the other "factions"
- fight against real players of the other "factions"
Chapter 2: need to be worked on
Chapter 3: Need to be worked on

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

Well, I can picture my warrior in a Hoplite armor =D

YES!

How about a Greek Persian War -themed chapter?

Choose your side, fight for territory like Factions just simply much more content, more maps to fight on, more Aspenwood-type missions, etc.
But the problem is, how to input PvE in that era? Good for PvP content on the other hand.

By the way, why doesn't Anet introduce new races?
Imagine you could play with a dwarf.
And no, there needn't to be racial aspects included like in WoW, just finally not ONLY human characters, but something other for a change. Everything remains same, just it's a different creature.
Small dwarf in Platemail Armor with a big ass Scythe...frightening! =P

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

I don't think Roman style will be cool in the stor i imagion because where are going back in time not to the roman ages, where their any roman people in prophecies.

Maybe Orr is roman nobody has seen anything of it

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

I'm thinking going back to a Dark Ages theme. No new classes will be added, but massive changes to the original classes. Like warriors become more bloodthirsty wild men (and women) that wear bear pelts and hunt in packs. Elementalists would be more primative and almost shaman like (much like a ritualist) and use chanting and skulls and potions. Rangers could use poison blades and use packs of animals. Monks could have just been shown the light of Dwayna and be looked upon as demigods for their ability to heal (instead of being bagged and ridiculed by unusually high amounts of pugs - most healers know what I'm saying)
I'm not sure what necros could be, but maybe it could be around the time of early mesmers where they use tricks and stage magic as distractions to the enemies.

Just some ideas.

Siggy gone on a little holiday. He promised to return when I thought of something witty.

Their has to be good classes cause it won't be guildwars without it.

I was thinking of a archangel class: like a monk but only dammage skils

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

Yeah not bad. Smiting with a monk is fun, but you can see that they were very not designed for that. 3 attributes towards protection and only 1 towards damage.

Yes some kind of holy spell damage dealer would be nice. A holy elementalist in a sense, despite the fact the Dervish is a "holy warrior" they are still more warrior-like than "holy".

Also, a Lance-wielding Amazon would be nice, the Lance could hit from adjacent range since it is long.

So yeah...a holy spell damage dealer and a close combat amazon would be nice.
Both would fit a Maguuma jungle theme, as a Druid and an Amazon.

to comment on the gwen thing i dont think she is an evil force maybe slightly demented but still good at heart kinda like how vader was but deffinetly i want to see what happened with gwen i can only assume she survived i mean even in nightfall there was a chest with a red iris flower in it she is out there and probibly not a little girl that everyone is looking for she has grown up since the searing and would probibly make a great ally but in a way where you probibly have to make her see her ways again like showing her items she gave you in pre searing or maybe triggered by /flute since she did love her flute

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

bearing in mind the next chapter might not have anything to do with the last 3 , as nightfall filled up the holes in prochies/factions/nightfall. and i cant think of Orr coming back unless, as orr is in the mists now they do a chapter in the mists or something .

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

well how about this one for grins

in NF abaddon is being "brocken" from his cell by Varesh, so how about this

a little flute bearing girl appears in an as non disclose town / outpost, she has glowing eyes and has an aura of power that can be felt.

- I lost my mommy and I want to find her again
- what must we do ? says the mighty hero
- you must help me to bring back the city of the gods
- the city of the gods ? in Orr ? how am I to do this I only have an axe and I am strong but not that strong
- well we will strike at the gardians of Orr, those who bound the energy keeping Orr away from us, once that done it will be just a matter of a few "tricks" to bring back Orr to it's former glory

Just a thought but a chapter 4 base on returning the continent of Orr could be interesting, they could add area from both profecy faction and nightfall into the new chapter plus off course, Orr (equivalent to the fire island)

just a thought

What do you mean old characters =)
Like, Rurik?
Well, he was not even born yet.
The Vizier was a young apprentice.
Saul D'Alessio was a young farmer.
King Adelbern was a prince.
Um...Glint was a hatchling.

Is this what you meant? =)

RE: Reference to Orr or chapter Four

If you read what the Ghosts etc say in the Realm of Torment, there are a few indicators that the Realm is what remains of Orr... They had the city of the gods, the realm is now the location of the Temple of the 6 Gods... there's still lots to read around there, but that was my initial thought after speaking to just a few residents.
