Hmmm... good work!

Unless ANet just didn't get the directions right, I'm definitely thinking this mountain is a part of the heavens, or another dimension. This would fit in with the studies of the mysterious NPC, Bahltek.

Then again, it could just be a random background texture...

Ha ha, nice. 31° + 61° = 92°, those lines are nearly parallel, so that mount should be on a new continent far, far away ......
But I really think it is just a background, no special.

why the hell do you do 31 + 61?
those are measures from differents locations.

and yeah, they are nearly parallel, that's what I was pointing.

Lol, dude. Those coordinate systems have different Origin, but same X-axis ( west - east) and Y-axis ( north-south).
If it is 30° + 60° then they are exactly parallel. Well, but this is off topic.
Back on topic : I think if ANet get the right direction, then it is just background because that ice mount is too far away to be able to see it.

Such a vista from a land further south than Tyria begs the question "why can't I see it from Tyria?"

Either that is one BIG. ASS. MOUNTAIN. Or the world is flat. :P

IF it was a volcano it would most likely be Abaddons Mouth, it fits with one of the lines of direction and although the other doesnt quite fit that could be just an error on the part of Anet

It is in the direction of the Fire Islands, but it seems much bigger, and it is snowy.

I thought we went over this, its a mountan on the Elona map people.....its just not lined up with it, it happens all the time in guild wars maps, its the mountain on mainland North West of Inlet, its shields the desolation.

and then we have the currently unkown chapter 4 of gw, Perhaps A Snowy Region ? like south pole, but without santa (going into wierd mode now) pet reindeers ^_^

It wont be SP because you can see each map has more than one core region of weather I would love to see something like this....

A game that starts with a pre, no not the cantha and elona pres like tyria

and like the charr did they chaged the world made it look diffrent

so that means we start in a pre searing, something bad happens , and then the post searing everything is snowy, icy...since its a new chapt why couldent we have a pre like tria again?

Quite interesting since this is obviously in the middle of the sea

THANK YOU! About time someone agrees that it is in the middle of the ocean, not 1,000,000 miles north/northwest. It's far more west and south than everyone and their leet math skillz seems to think it is. If in fact it is anything other than a skybox.

Well, if its not a volcano, something must have taken a big chunk out of that mountain, and since theres no snow on that side of that mountain, I'd say it was recent

maybe so, but i still maintain the argument that it's just shadow and not a hole, if theres snow in the shadow of a mountain, u wudn't rly see the whiteness of it from that distance, it wud appear as darkness (aka a shadow)

It's a flying mountain, and we'll need to use an hot air ballon to get there.

Yay a new wallpaper...*cough*,*cough*...
Back on subject, honestly, I've heard so many predictions that I'm saying that this COULD be a next chapter...I'm not saying it is, or it isnt't, but saying it could. Though the rumors about the snow theme could fit in:
1. We saw snow, so snow= relitivly cold
2. As refered to the previous statements it makes perfect sence that it could be viking theme, since it plays with the olymipian theme.
3. Though Anet can be random at times, I think that they put this on purpose, and not some random scenery background to bust our graphics cards or monitars.
4. And lastly excuse this spelling my strong point is art, not english.

Get firefox, it has spell checker, as you type!

Anyways, the black dot remains a mystery to me, I see it on my ranger (UAX tyria, canthan, elona) but I don't see it on my elementalist, which finished nightfall recently with masters in all missions.

Did you get the masters on everything before or after the update with the mission titles? o.O

I have no idea if that would affect it or not. I haven't tried getting masters on the rest of the missions on my monk because of the update _._ but i know my sin had it all beat and mastered before the update and i see the wonderful mysterious black dot on her map

Hm, that maybe a good point.

I've recently finished the game, the elementalist is relatively new. But this is the only lead that could be believed why I, and many other people, don't see the dot.

oooo scary.

wow nice mountain

i found it in Pogahn Passage aswell, you can find it in roughly the same direction on the first part of the map. it gets hidden by the clouds quite alot.

but when you walk towards it the clouds go red and it either fades in the mist or disappears. not to sure. might try to find it in other places if i have some free time.

I have noticed that the game sometimes has issues with correctly displaying objects in the distance.

What I mean is, they seem to move/pop about sometimes. It has happened to me on an Nvidia and an ATI card. I think it's z-buffer related, can't remember right off. but it has to do with how the game supplies the rendering information to the video card.

I usually roam around but when I came across this I just figured that it was some stupid mountain that was reachable by boat travel. But then Bahltek showed up and decided to be all mysterious and look into pools of water wherever he showed up.

The mage he talks about has also been strongly guessed as Orr (opening the rifts and such) so maybe someone/something is gonna open those rifts again to be able to get to that mountain. (half joking)

Though this goes against all hints and thoughts that we've been getting about C4 being north of tyria in a snowy continent. I mean that mountain HAS to be somewhere in the middle of the ocean.

I got a headache...

Could be a prison for some gigantic thing, or the new prison for Abaddon (didn't finish game yet).
