I actually considered this. I'd still put it under the realm of "highly unrealistic", but it would be a way for Anet to say, "look, we've changed, it's not the same main city!" They could then use that to tout how much the game has changed and incentivize people to come back and check it out.

Isn't that area Tengu territory? Don't think they'd be happy with people moving in.

Also technically it's not really the dominion of the winds area, but it leads to it.

I'd never do this because it's insane and crazy!
The hidden area between kessex and LA is not Tengu I don't think. That area shares borders with east of kessex (there is no Tengu wall on that side), south of gandaran (no Tengu wall either), the only Tengu you see are the ones on LA border with that zone but it's only one door not a wall. They could just be blocking the path to thier city.

How do you guys handle the monthly? I could just run the Queensdale train, but damn if that isn't boring...
P.S.
Still can't believe I won the pot...

I log in and play the game. It seems to get finished pretty easily, weather I am doing the world bosses, dungeon, exploring a zone, leveling up a new character or WvW it all seems to go towards it.
I never really even look at what needs to be completed, it just usually ends up being completed by midway through the month.
Are you trying to finish it quicker to get the 10 laurels (or is it 20) that you get for finishing it?
I mean, I haven't logged in a while so my memory is definitely hazy, but the area that is walled off with one door that is guarded by Tengu is not Tengu territory?
Congrats again!How do you guys handle the monthly? I could just run the Queensdale train, but damn if that isn't boring...

I was shocked, as you only had one ticket, but I suppose that's the beauty of it!I haven't actively attempted to get my monthly in like 6 moths. It just happens. If you're trying to get it ASAP for a reason, I'll look at the Jan categories and try to come up with a plan for you.
Having just come back to the game, I was surprised to see how far along I am in the monthly without even 'trying'. Dailies, dungeons, etc add up quick. I'll probably need to focus my efforts the last 2 weeks of the month to get it, but I plan on getting it this month (for the first time I think).

I already have the "do the daily" part of the Monthly, because I always do those, and I have the "skill" part of the monthly since I've got four separate characters to mess around with and getting skills from low level areas is easy.
I suspect I'll finish the "event" one eventually. It's the fourth one...
I don't really do dungeons (I've run one story mode one, once) or WvWvW (and even if I did trying to get 50 kills on a slow-as-ass Mesmer... >_>). I haven't even gone looking for jumping puzzles, and in all fairness, I'm pretty bad at them. On top of that, it seems to require unique ones as well.
That leaves Champions, I suppose, but it's a headache with the timers (and I don't even know where most are)... unless I grind the Queensdale train.

I haven't finished a Monthly yet too. Last month I was pretty close, but then I didn-t play for about a week and completely forgot about it.
i always do the 4/Daily one, the normal and Group Events ones, but I never know what to do as a fourth, considering I don-t go to dungeons often (I have been there only once, it was pretty cool though) nor I play WvWvW.
Anyway, talking about the dungeon, could the people who joined me (I'm Yoscitsune in game) in the Caudecus Story dungeon or in the Newbie Fractals Attempt the other day post their names here or send me a pm, as I'd like to add them to my friends list? I'm sorry, I'm bad with names D:

If people want to do champion train, I suggest Frostgorge. Much faster, and more too.
Of these, doing the 12 easiest jumping puzzles would certainly be the simplest. You could do one every other day for the rest of the month and still finish in time. Let me know if you'd like a list.
However, I'd instead personally recommend doing more dungeons. Unless you hate them outright or something- they're great money and XP, the tokens you get from Exp mode are always useful, and they have champions within them that would contribute to Champions too. 10 dungeons could quite easy be rounded out in something like 4 hours total, or 2 hours each over 2 nights, considering that there are no "unique" requirements here like for puzzles. AC Story, SE1 and COF1 mean you could get this done with a silly amount of effort if you so desired.
edit: Indeed, for maximum speed/boredom, the Queensdale train would work but would be inferior to Frostgorge.

I agree with this. The people on the Frostgorge train also seem to be much nicer, and chill (no pun intended). I've never seen them rage about someone killing a champ out of order, they just say 'move to X' and go on.
I'm happy the Living World stuff is coming to an end!
I was disappointed to see that the only new zone they've added so far, was the Sea of Sorrows. This game has SUCH an amazing world and exploration no other game anything else.
I really do hope now that the living world stuff is coming to an end they'll expand on their huge world map as I love sooo much about this game I just... couldn't get into the living story. I loved exploring secret areas and doing the jumping puzzles and hope to see more of that.

Sorry if it might disappoint you to hear but that's not really an accurate description of what is happening. At the very least, you'll have to put up with Living Story stuff (in the same two-week update cadence) until mid-March.
The zone you are referring to is called Southsun Cove; the Sea of Sorrows is the whole sea that it's in the middle of, all the way down to Orr in the south.

Fair enough. I remember them hearing that the living world stuff wouldn't be finished until Feb or March but... as long as they actually expand more and add more zones, that's what I care about. When that happens is when I'll start playing again. Bottom line is I love my exploration.
I'm going to pin my hopes on a CoF reboot.
Jumping puzzles are probably my favourite way to kill time when I'm not doing anything else so the start of a new month is always an excuse for me to binge on them, I'm always happy to run through them with people if they want some.

Lol. Yeah I'm sure you are. You should be able to climb up that deep we'll by the 21st.
BIG things. GIANT things!
It's the D'Alessio Seaboard. The only things of note in there are the Temple of Tolerance and a village called Hakewood, but I'm sure that's been destroyed since Guild Wars 1. I would guess that the Tengu guard it because it's so close to their borders, or it's a Tengu area but outside the Dominion of Winds proper.

According to the interview Kos posted last night, the benefits of the Living World CGI will start to appear in game 'very soon'. I didn't follow that thread (they're insanely large and fast-moving) but I'd bet good money that "More permanent changes" was in the top 5.
Watchwork Toxic Krait wielding Molten Alliance weapons while riding Aetherblade-powered Jetpack Karkas.
And the future!
Definitely some of my favorite stuff. The way we hit Southsun Cove now to kill the queen on the regular, too, following the Last Stand at Southsun release. Actually I hope they actually flesh out the resort there with some standing structures one day, and maybe have a second, smaller Meta event around Pearl Islet.
Giant Scarlet Confirmed. It'll be a Kaijuu battle where you pilot a giant golem ala Power Rangers.
You have now officially wrecked GW2 for me since nothing they can do will come close to living up to that.

nope, tengu is between caledon forest and kessex.
BTW TYRIA IS GOING TO GET A FACIAL THIS YEAR? i hope it doesnt hurts.

Actually, the square between LA and Kessex is totally a Tengu area, being the Dominion of Winds and all.
I don't think so. If you look at the map, the Tengu wall appears to curve south before it gets near Garrenhoff / Wizards Fief. The big area between LA and Kessex is much further north than the Dominion, it would have to do this weird wrap-around the southeast corner of Kessex to get there.
I thought there was a wall around it, but looking at the map I was clearly mistaken, there was only tyrias amazing naturally squared mountains, natures own impassable wall. Seems easily accessible by water. Though the only land route is through the tengu gate so it's possible the Tengu moved in.

Huh, did they remove some enemies in Orr? I don't see the ghostly tengu enemies (called Spirit of Valor I think?) anymore in Malchor's Leap.
It's a passageway leading to the Dominion, but not the Dominion itself.
iirc it's just a patch of land that directly leads to their kingdom, though I wonder why their guards go that far.

Derp, you're right - for some reason I was remembering the big wall east of Caledon Forest, as being east of Kessex. I blame the quote-unquote non-drowsy antihistamines.
Had another fun night last night leveling my Elementalist.
Spoilering JP stuff in case someone likes to stumble across these things naturally.
Finished up the Plains of Ashford to chip away at map completion and stumbled across my first non-special event Jumping Puzzle. It was a blast.
Up to level 62 now (my warrior is 80, so it won't be my first 80). Since the character is so old, I've been running on a XP bonus from a birthday boost almost the whole time, which definitely helps.

Would it make it worse if I told you the giant golem was an upgraded Hobo-Tron?
Fanservice AND arc closure. Hire me, Anet.
