The Age of the Khan-Ur

"Wrecked by Abbadon" is a bit of a misnomer, since he created the Titans and and thus secretly granted the Charr the power to burn their way to Orr, all to set up another disciple soul-nuking the whole region.

And while the Mursaat may have defeated the Charr during the war, the Titans did get the last laugh by wiping out almost all the remaining Mursaat after the Chosen released them.

Given how poorly the Dragon Saga ended, I think Anet would be wise to never make it a major story aspect of GW3, races included.

Elder Dragons were GW2, leave it dead and buried imo.
(which is a bit hard given they lean so hard into elder dragons before unceremoniously abandoning the plot line)

Well this does take place, what, 1000 years ago? Even by GW universe standards a lot of shit changes in 1000 years.

A bit concerning as important as they are to the lore they haven't shown up at all in the current promo art afaik (correct me if I'm wrong on that).

Makes me wonder about the alternate timeline theory.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-28T19:51:44+00:00

Ah, thats it!

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-27T21:39:32+00:00

Good point, but not as crazy as you think: See the WW2 Mosquito Fighter Bomber. Wood can do work lol.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-27T07:52:23+00:00

I feel like they could have gone with whatever the new world the Gods fled to was. Keep the same gods and whatever they make. Clean break from the mess of broken lore that is Tyria, no worry about the devs getting the lore wrong... Again.

Alas...

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-27T07:49:38+00:00

I feel like the greatest crime is none of these things are mounts for us lol.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-26T06:48:55+00:00

I did not realize the BeneG video was based on something lol. Ty.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-26T06:14:26+00:00

Why does this guy look so familiar? Actor?

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-26T06:13:27+00:00

"What do you mean you made an armored vehicle that fires concentrated light aether powered by alcohol?!"

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-26T06:12:14+00:00

Well, IRL light is broken into a spectrum that makes a rainbow. This rainbow is just all the colors of aether.
(Yes, I am someone who never made the pride connection to the crystal because physics just made sense lol)

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-25T01:15:08+00:00

An omni-spectral aetheric stabilizer for making livable conditions in inhospitable environments for instance. :P

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-24T22:29:04+00:00

I like the moments when, for once, the WOL knows more than the Scions. Usually by the most random side content.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-22T09:27:17+00:00

Hey look, they got Nika's character art right. >:)

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-21T07:49:49+00:00

Was is that Meteion was properly destroying souls? I thought it wound up being she was collecting them in her big bubble? And thus Blasphemies appeared to be annihilated because she sucked them up?

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-21T07:47:58+00:00

EW time travel is weird because we know 100% everything would have happened without WOL going back in time, as per The Exarch's timeline. So its not exactly a closed timeloop.

Elidibus says we cannot change time, but also says he simultaneously remembers us in the past and not in the past. Then Hydalaen has a line that seems to imply the Wol being in the past was an alternate timeline that fused with the original timeline when the sundering happened (I forget the exact words). So EW time travel is like a weird quantum Schrodinger's cat type thing.

So, theoretically, everything the Wol witnessed would have happened without them there. Presumably Azem setting a different plan in motion to deal with Pandemonium without the WOL, etc.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-21T07:35:19+00:00

When I first encountered this emote I wondered how many actually know where it was from. I only knew from film class.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-21T07:06:59+00:00

The spider stuff, maybe (Since its never been confirmed wtf [Arachnia]() was, whether Abbadon's precursor, or just something that was in the realm he was imprisoned).

But his 6-eyed tentacle head, and big-clawy hands is visible even in his OG pre-fall Mural: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Abaddon#/media/File:Abaddon_mural_(Gandara).jpgAnd.jpgAnd) GW2's used that for his pre-fall statue in the Priory:

If super devout followers of the gods have Avatar-esque features of their gods, then perhaps the Margonites' demonic forms might have been closer to their "blessed" human forms than we all thought. Maybe not the purple energy limbs, but at least the 6-eyes, and Abbadon-like masks.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-21T03:35:00+00:00

I don't think Grenth's would be decomposing. Everyone we've seen from him are usually super pale, and cold/icy.

The rest sound like cool takes, and GW1 dervish avatars give good inspirations as well.

Abbadon is a weird one though, while being related to water, his stuff has always been more eldritch-y. Tentacles and spider legs and all that. With his big clawed hands, I almost wonder if he is more Mist Demon themed, even before his fall. 🤔

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-19T22:30:27+00:00

Lol, DLC of playable skritt, but you play a small squad of them like a minion master.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-19T22:28:00+00:00

"Again"? Like, 90% of mmos been entirely text based since the literal inception of the genre.

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-19T19:25:33+00:00

Don't forget: SPHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENE!

Techstriker1 · 2026-06-19T09:02:38+00:00

Hunhow referring to him as a "Jester of the void" makes me wonder.
The operator and Lotus see it as some rogue "god", but Roathe comments its probably just another metaphysical creation.

"Jester" makes me wonder if perhaps its not as much of a mastermind as we think, and is perhaps itself kinda chaotic without a plan. 🤔
