【Guild Wars 2】History/Plot: Dragon Desperate Expansion Pack Final Trailer Analysis

Today I will make an analysis of the latest trailer.

To be honest, this trailer and the previous trailer is quite different, the previous trailer is like saying something, but careful analysis is like nothing to say, this trailer is directly is the material, almost can be said to be the game plot, but only broke a few points, more things or slowly excavated, next to say a few points I personally found.

One

At first, there was a Kaishan man fishing on the boat, which corresponded to the new game of play - fishing, which had no more news, so there was not much speculation, and then there was a loud noise, the spaceship in the sky exploded, and then flew towards a certain building in Kaishan.

Combined with the screenshots that broke out before, we can know that this location is the port of Star Cape Island.

Ships with red color schemes are rare in the game, and players who often break the layer may have the impression that similar ships have appeared in the Aether Blade Fragment Layer and the Meiqin Leader Fragment Layer, and the owner of this spaceship is self-evident, which is also confirmed in the subsequent promotional video, he is the Ether Blade.

Mention the Aether Blade, I have to say about the history of this fleet, at the beginning the Aether Blade was just a small group of pirates, and later during the Crimson War, Crimson united the Aether Blade and the interrogation team, hijacked the contract group's spaceship, after the transformation of the interrogation team's advanced technology, the Sky Pirate Aether Blade has begun to take shape, and the Aether Blade spaceship has been used as the color of the interrogation team since that time. Then later Meiqin was appointed by Crimson as the captain of the Aether Blade, went to interfere with the Dragon Festival celebration, killed Captain Ashford in an attempt to occupy a seat in the Lion Arch Pirate Council, and then Logan commissioned Marjorie to investigate the matter, followed by the plot of the Aether Blade and the fragment of Meiqin, the result is that Meiqin was captured, and later after Crimson rescued Meiqin from prison, she has been settled in the Misty Land (that is, the center of the World War Fog Border, where Meiqin and a part of the Aether Blade can still be seen), Until later Crimson attacked the Lion Arch, although this attack also involved the Aether Blade, Mikoto had been working on an unknown secret in the Misty Land. It was not until this promotional film that Meiqin once again appeared in the player's field of vision in the plot.

After watching this plot, I still have a little doubt in my heart, that is, after Crimson was seduced by Medemos, she tried everything to attack the Lion Arch and only wanted to revive the dragon, she actually let Meiqin continue to make other preparations in the Misty Land, this preparation must be more important or more difficult than the awakening of Medemos, in addition to the deep-sea dragon, I can't think of any other more reasonable explanation. Unless Crimson herself forgot.

In the promotional film, we can also see that the Aether Blade came to Kaisan with greater ambitions. Nevertheless, in the promotional video earlier (July 21), there was a scene that seemed to be whitewashed by Meiqin.

Two

After analyzing the first point, I once thought that the promo was only about the plot, but it was obviously not.

In the picture that appears after a minute and 58 seconds, we can see a lot of black magic energy gathered together, and the black energy is surrounded by the magic path magic that we are familiar with, and the magic path magic changes many times in the game from blue to red, and then to the current black. In addition to these magical energies in the picture, there is more "jade".

The word jade appears a lot in the promotional film, and now Kaisan relies on jade to become the most powerful country in Tyria, is not very familiar, Ore relies on the seabed point Zetan, becoming the country with the strongest level of magic among the three human countries in Tyria, Kaisan relies on jade technology and becomes the most powerful country in the world, Ore relies on the magic of Zetan dragon, and Kaisan relies on jade, but it is another origin.

About 500 years ago, Emperor Kaishan's bodyguard Baiying Tian Sheng (the person in the posture of the Soul Warrior Assassin) was seduced by others, in order to gain more powerful power, assassinated the Emperor, and performed a powerful dark ritual, and finally gained great power, which was soon killed by the Emperor's other three guards, And Baiyin Tian Sheng released all the magical energy before his death, and the powerful magic swept across the entire Kaishan Continent, and the nearest ocean was directly petrified and became the current Jade Sea. That is, Kaisan's development so quickly depended entirely on this dark magic.

Of course, there are more details in the promotional film, such as when meeting King Kassan at the beginning, only Casmel is alone, but in the subsequent plot progression, Tammy, Glick, Marjorie, Casmille, commander have appeared, but Little Rock and Braham have not appeared, so where did they go?

In the previous ice nest legend plot, the social system of the Shire changed drastically under the devastation of the civil war, the leader of the Iron Legion, Smod, died, and the leader of the Blood Legion, Bangor, was not strong enough in will, so he was seduced by Dolma and became the initiator of the civil war, and it was difficult to establish his prestige after that (not to mention, according to the NPCs next to the cage in The Guan Bangor, after Dolma's death, Bangor was greatly affected, so he was sent to the field hospital, in the practice of the Snail Society, even if he wanted to go online again, it would be a long time later). As a hero with great prestige in the Blood Legion, Ritlock's becoming the leader of the Blood Legion seems to be a foregone conclusion. Similarly, Kresia's fabled two-eyed performance in the Ice Nest paved the way for her Khan. So Ritterlock's downline can be expected.

And Berlaham's downline is a bit unreasonable, to know that the time in Tyria and the real time are synchronized, from the chief around to the dragon desperate, naturally after a year of time, it is reasonable to say that these times are enough for the leader to surround when he has just recovered from the state of fire joy, Brahan to cultivate his body, and then continue to participate in the commander's subsequent actions...

In the subsequent expansion pack, there are new mounts, new ways to move the map, new specializations, new map events, and a little "baby" with multiple functions. So will the new expansion pack bring players a novel experience in terms of story?
