I could see them introducing them as two new instanced zones (ToN and attacked Lion's Arch), but in all honesty idk.Īgreed, but for EfLA/BfLA, the metas were 2 hour long IIRC (might've been 1?), so that'll be hard to pull off in DRM-style. What's hard to predict is how ArenaNet will handle the Tower of Nightmares zone and the Escape from Lion's Arch and Battle for Lion's Arch 2 hour open world metas. Honestly, it's pretty easy to predict how Episodes 2 and 3 will play out at this point. Battle for LA is already confirmed in some form, but what form is the question. Escape of LA could be skipped outside of the opening cinematic tbh, but I hope not. Edge of the Mists added a bunch of story that's too important to skip IMO. It's dubious if they'll add in The Origins of Madness (there's 1 story step + "attempt" Twisted Marionette), I can see it going both ways. Edge of the Mists + Escape from Lion's Arch + Battle for Lion's Arch + Battle for Lion's Arch: Aftermath. Hopefully they also include Belinda's presence in the open world.ĥ. Might also include the Kessex prelude stuff from Blood and Madness 2013. Tower of Nightmares + The Nightmares Within + The Nightmare is Over (Wintersday 2013). It's more a matter of "when" not "if" for these two.Ĥ. This also cannot be skipped because it is the introduction of Scarlet Briar, which Joe Kimmes said (same interview) this is what he's looking forward to the most being brought back. It might include the election arc too, but I'm doubtful if they do, I think they'll add the story version of Thaumanova fractal to the end here.ģ. This combo cannot be skipped because it is the introduction of Mai Trin, which was stated to be one of the leading motivations for finally pushing Season 1 return live by Joe Kimmes in an interview with gamerant. Note: originally the twisted marionette came after the tower of nightmares and before the attack on Lions Arch, however given the lack of content in Clockwork Chaos without the Jubilee, and the fact that the Twisted Marionette is just one massive clockwork knight, it made sense to me to move the TM up and pair the two.Ĭut out Aetherpath (aside from a few open world mobs and achievements, it's all in-game still), and slap Edge of the Mists to the beginning of 5, and I'm in agreement.Ģ. Attack on Lions Arch (invasion and reclamation of Lions arch) Toxic Alliances (Twilight Arbor Aetherpath, followed by Tower of Nightmares)ĥ. Clockwork Chaos (scarlet attacking Divinities Reach with clockwork knights, portal invasions, and Twisted Marionette.)Ĥ. Sky Pirates (including Theo's assassination, the Sky Pirate Dungeon scaled down into a story instance, some mention of Ellen Kiel becoming a captain and replacing Theo)ģ. After a few seconds, every platform with a star on it will disappear, so just stay away from them and you will be fine.Īll these attacks are usually combined, so the hardest part is really learning how to deal with Stars+Laser/Bomb, but other than that the boss is farly easy.So episode one was Flame and Frost, I think the next four will be:Ģ. Several glowing stars will appear over platforms, but again they deal no damage. Try to stay on the outer part of the platform and find a place with many intact spots and no allies, then get ready to dodge as soon as you see all the platforms around you blinking.Įnergy Stars - Anomaly will usually begin using this at about 50% HP. Again it does no damage, but after a few seconds every platform around you will disappear. When you get targeted with this, just run on the outer part of the platform, trying to not walk on the same spot of other allies.īomb - You will clearly see a bomb icon on your head when this attack happens. It won't do damage, but every platform that player walks on will disappear. Spread the team: the furthest you are from one another, the better.
Stick to the outer of the platform, whenever possible. (Apparently various groups killed it in melee while a single player was targeted by laser and ran around. These platforms will reappear with time, so you don't really need to hurry the kill.ĭo not melee. If you die, it will usually be because you fell down after a platform disappeared. This fight is all about positioning and movement, as the boss itself usually deals very little damage.
