They are kind of the key to the ziplines and teleporters. But they are used for all sorts of things, they are mainly used for public transportation. You will see them in Echovald, you will a couple in Jade Sea in Shing Jea as well. But for the people in Cantha, it can be a pretty hard technology to attain and it's often found in some of the richer districts as you travel up in New Kaineng. It's tied to story, we will talk about that in a second. Now as opposed to in Kaineng, jade tech can be extremely expensive, though getting your own bot is not. But most importantly they do aid the day-to-day of the Canthans. But speaking about the day-to-day, jade bots, they are great, they are cute, they are my favorite thing in the world, they are just adorable. Giant field holograms that Rubi, Connor and I streamed about last week and a bunch of other super necessary innovations that are meant to kind of help stream the day-to-day in Cantha. There are holo projectors telling the news, ziplines wink wink wink wink. But, dragonjade powers just about everything you see in Cantha and New Kaineng. We will learn a little bit more about it in End of Dragons. Really tragic event, definitely recommend reading up on it. All of this tech is powered by a resource called dragonjade which is magically infused jade left over from an event called the Jade Wind in guild wars factions, which happned when Shiro Tagachi was killed, and he basically petrified everything in sight. Xunlai jade is a tech mogul of the world and it's going to be introducing a lot of cool new things to Tyria. As we've been teasing a pinch, as some of you might have noticed during the new Kaineng City livestream last week, the empire is filled to the brim with jade technology. A quick high overview of Cantha tech in jade bots before Ben dives in. And we will talk about that a little more in a bit but this one specifically focuses on jade bots. This area is one of our renown hearts which are activities that the player can do to learn different mechanics. This is a trade show slash tech demo for Xunlai jade. So where we are standing right now, where Rubi and I are in the game are the first gardens of enlightened thought, which is one of the uppermost layers in New Kaineng City, which might sound a little ritzy and it is. I will not only go on about bots but jade technology as a whole in Cantha. Indigo: Yeah, absolutely so it is kind of a high overview for our new viewers. Indigo, why don't you kick us off from the lore side of this. Let's get started with what exactly jade bots are. Thank you both for being here and thanks to all of you for hanging out with us. I was part of the team that worked on jade bots. Hi, thanks for joining.īen Phongluangtham: Everyone, I'm a design manager here at ArenaNet. I was the narrative owner for the new Kaineng map and I also helped with a bunch of the systems oriented things for end of dragons like the elite specs and most importantly the jade babies that we're going to talk about today rather the jade bots more professionally.
So, with me today are our two dev guests to help me do that walkthrough. Hopefully today, we’re going to answer as many of those as we can because we're going to give you a step-by-step walkthrough of everything these little helpers can do, what you can use them for, and how you get them. I also have been watching all of your questions and keeping track of them. All of us here at Arenanet have been so excited watching how much you all were interested in the jade bots, and how cool you thought they were. Alright, that said, we are going to talk about jade bots today. The new For Fans by Fans items are available at Good Smile Now, so you can get that little extra edition of real life preparation for End of Dragons before we go live. Real quick before we get into that, I just want to point to the adorable Plush Griffon that you saw during countdown, and the Siege Turtle pin, just in time for Cantha.
Rubi Bayer: Hi Tyria, happy Friday, and welcome to Guild Chat! I'm your host Rubi, and I'm so glad you're here with us today to talk about jade bots. Transcription Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons - Jade Bots Introduction 1.1 Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons - Jade Bots.
