Why Cantha is so special - Introduction & Tour!

Why are Guild Wars 2 fans so excited for Cantha in End of Dragons? To answer that question, I introduce you to Cantha and take you on a tour.

Maybe I'll do a Cantha lore video too! If you prefer my "Music Guild Tries To" videos, don't worry, there are more of those on the way as well.

You might have noticed I renamed my YouTube from Silverdisc to Laranity! I'm pretty happy about it ^-^

I really like this style of video from you lara! great job!

It would be a dream come true if Anet referenced or brought back Malyck when we meet the Wardens. But because the new Necro elite spec is called the Harbinger, and the Nightmare Court originally referred to Malyck as the Harbinger, I'm not sure Anet will reference Malyck in this expansion unless he is now a Necro using blight.

Loving this one Lara, good job on it!

Not the 11 year old GW1 guild leader we deserve, but the one we need. Great video!

Everything I've seen so far about Cantha in GW2 feels right and rekindled that sense of excitement and exploration I've felt in factions as well 15 years ago. I want to see the old places but changed, still recognizable but through a filter of development and advanced tech. I am sure I'm going to like End of Dragons.

!!! Thank u for this video, I'm now a HUNDRED times more excited now that i have more info about Cantha

[KROOF]

Just starting to play through Cantha -- I can already say that I am so so excited to see the environment in a more modern engine such as GW2. I am particulalrly excited to see what verticality means for EOD, and my brain directly goes to Kaineng and Echovald. <3 <3 <3

Thank you so much for this video. I have never played gw1 but I love a lot the lore

[Vallun]

I remember the preorder for factions came with a beta disc that allowed you to play the new classes in the Maatu Keep area. As a kid this was such an exciting moment I never forgot it. Something about Cantha was just so immersive.

Great Video, Lara! hype for Cantha!!!

[TFalconwing]

Excellent presentation and good editing. You should be proud of your work. I'll have to share this with my wife so she can also get hyped for Cantha.

[Kantharr]

Factions was my favorite GW1 expansion so when I saw that we're finally getting a Cantha expansion I was so pumped! I can't wait to see how much was changed in Cantha.

[waltwhite]

I realy enjoyed the video! It is so cool to see the lore behind this place.

[dewi-kun]

Didnt know what cantha actually looked like but now im excited ^^
I hope we really get some Jadepunk, because i thought generally how you can combine an MMO with more "modern" aesthetic.
And i really look for forward to some gothic stuff.(maybe hit from software for some bossdesign *cought*)

[noelic]

You don't know how much I love the thought of a neon district cyber punk Kaineng City. That'll be freaking awesome. Specially with Guild Wars 2's lighting and reflections.

[headmetal]

Now I'm even more hyped for EoD! I never had the time to play GW1, and thus have no knowledge about the lore. But you made me understand it a bit better, thank you!
Also, I'm happy a lot of Cantha looks to be inspired by Korean history and art!

[KidDynamite]

This brought back a ton of great memories thank you Lara!

[torkyn]

YES I absolutely needed this. I have been extremely hyped about the new expansion but I have only been in the Guild wars franchise since just after Path of Fire. The amount of knowledge you have about the lore is super impressive too, thanks Lara <3

[AndreJennrich]

Such a nice video, Lara! So chill and comfy and so much lore! Would love to see more lore videos from you! :)

[TheLazySage]

I love Cantha! I'm supper hyped for it in GW2. I'm replaying GW1 right now and cant wait to get to Cantha again myself.
