While looking through the old Guild Wars: Factions official screenshots I noticed two which stuck out... I remember they caused quite the buzz.

A very Imperal China type view, With an awesome sky backdrop. I've yet to see anything like this in game...

An indoor area very much like the Emperor's Palace, yet... I haven't seen any area like this in game either.

Any ideas on what happened to the two areas?

First one looks like right outside of Marketplace or that place below Markerplace or is it above :X? Theres like a mini harbour somewhere there on the mainland.

Second one is one of the end mission places can't remember the name.

I know the seconds one is that certain area in Raisu Palace, I think but I doubt it that the first picuture is that Dock in marketplace.

First is Raisu Palace explorable. Head to the north, you can see it.

Those pictures sure seem to beat the crap out of what I've seen in-game.

..but then again I use a GeForce2...

Both are from Raisu Palace, the first is from the dock on the north side of Raisu exploreable, the second is from in side Raisu Palace.

They're in the game. It would depend entirely on your graphics setting and screen.

Anet just has better Graphics. -smiles-

Yeah, the graphics on GW are truly amazing if you can support it... so much so that things like those pictures can be overlooked!

yeah, there are alot of stunning graphics in Factions that would only catch a person's glimpse for like 1 second, because the view isn't obstructive (as in you have to angle your screen manually to see it properly.

@OP

I suggest playing fully through Factions, and exploring. There are many, many heavily oriental flavoured areas in the game. Might wanna fully try out the game before you ridicule Anet. Just a friendly suggestion.

cheers!
