I might just have to reinstall Guild Wars 2 for this event.

So impressed he can't even commit to reinstalling the game :P

[Karizee]

Hm. Was this the "big" thing coming, as in giant robot lady?

Judging by the trailer it looks like Anet delivered on the "big" part if nothing else.

4 patches to culminate in the big thing on March 4th.

Check out the Eurogamer interview with Colin Johanson.

"When [Living World Season One] ends [on 4th March], we're going to take a break for a little bit and then we're going to do one really big feature patch that is more akin to what people see from some of our [MMO] competitors," said Johanson, "where they bundle a lot of features together into a really big patch every now and then."

Well there goes my hopes we'll get the big features patch March 18th

[Exroyal]

I can already see it, that tall ass robot is gonna be bs, same with wurm. The wurm is gonna stay whilst robo-woman is not. I'm more excited for the big patch now though, sounds shiny.

[Deleted]

Can't say this got me excited at all.

Awe, I was hoping we'd have en Elder dragon from under the ground. Instead, we get wurms......

"Features"? Isn't that usually QoL stuff?

"Living World Season One" about as successful as WvW Season One. >_<

I'm not too interested in the whole giant wurm thing, but I'm interested in why she needs all her forces in Lornar's Pass and why she needs a giant robot.

I happen to like the uselessly giant robot in heels!

And Lornar's Pass is the site of the mysterious steam creature invasions, which have also been present in Scarlet Invasions before.

They also come from my asuras alternate reality, but I doubt they'll address that because non-asura suck and ruin everything with their non-asuraness.

it's just a clockwork puppet no?

[Svifnymr]

it's just a clockwork puppet no?

marionette (I assume the cables lead up to something) of unusual size.

[Valeron]

M.o.u.s. ?

[Razael]

I'll give this a pass. Robot on heels looks hilarious though. I'm actually looking foward to see what that feature patch contains.

[Karizee]

Yes, but who is controlling the strings?

Dhuum dhuum dhuuuummmmm

robo boobs are obviously important

[Deleted]

WoodenPotatoes just uploaded a clip where he talks, minutely, about what controls the puppet thing.

I was guessing something to do with floating castle, but time`ll tell...

[Valeron]

robo boobs are obviously important

boobs are always important

[Svifnymr]

Yes, but who is controlling the strings?

I'm going to assume Queen Jennah, since she's the one that built robot chicks with boobs and heels...

Yes, Queen Jennah is the evil mastermind behind everything, obviously she's a Mursaat in disguise.

Well, it's Kotaku, not exactly high praise...

I swear if there is no progression to scarlets plot I will flip the fuck out. I don't want to play 2 more zerg events just to not learn anything... AGAIN.

"Features"? Isn't that usually QoL stuff?

Nah features can cover a wide varity of things. Some would be called QoL, but for example the new WvW map could be considered a feature. Another potential feature would be removing the delineation between PvP and PvE gear and converting the PvP locker into a skin locker. Arenanet seems to use the term "features" to mean anything not directly related to the stoyline.

I swear if there is no progression to scarlets plot I will flip the fuck out. I don't want to play 2 more zerg events just to not learn anything... AGAIN.

There might not be very much movement in this patch. Last Friday the devs said the 2/4 patch will be the patch that will answer a lot of people's questions about Scarlet.
