Article on Guild Wars 2, includes some concept art and screenshots on bottom of the page.

Snipet:

Quote:

You are wandering through the countryside and you see a dragon flying overhead. You and a group try to stave off the dragon. If you are successful the nearby town gives you a treasure.

But if you don't drive off the dragon, the bridge will be destroyed. This will lead to a team of carpenters gathering at the bridge to try to fix it and then you will have to protect them from bandits.

Norn
Concept Artist: Kaekai

Guild Wars Eye of the North Logo

Shiverpeaks

Norn Tower

Dungeon 1

Charr

Destroyer

Hall of Monuments

Dungeon 2

Dungeon 3

[not sure if these informations are already included on the other thread, there were 88 pages and I couldn't get through all of them, if it is, compile or delete or whatever...]

EDIT: Diablo, I'm going to hi-jack your thread here but I'm guessing these are part of almost "press release" packets going out to various sites since it indicates they had a phone interview with Jeff Strain on that.

Damn... those are fine. The Charr painting is just amazing. Arena.net has some of the best concept art I've seen from the games industry in general.

Well, to swing that giant sword of hers, she'd have to be manly. I always found it was ridiculous that a little stick of a girl could swing those 50 pound weapons...

There's only one thing I have to ask Anet: Are those Tina Turner's nipple rings?

Yeah, I'd love to know The Inquirer's sauce... I honestly thought it was a hoax, but oh well LOL

I really hope they don't change the look of the Charr too much...

Other than that, GW:EN looks like its goona be grand!

For all the FFVII fans:

That "manly girl" is actually Cloud! Remember, he's a cross-dresser! Notice the six-pack and the obvious Buster Sword he's wielding. IT'S CLOUD I TELL YOU!

But more seriously: Those are beautiful, as is all the concept work for Guild Wars. Will Eye of the North follow the tradition and use those as loading screens? If so, that will be amazing.

Am I the only one who finds the Female Norn pic just amazing?

I know it's supposed to be Norse and all, but it has Irish overtones as well (the tatoos especially).

Oh, and the girl is fine. Nothing wrong with a girl who has muscles, especially if she's so... titillating.

OMG, OMG, OMG, Why did you show those Artwork^^?!
You made me more impatient with GW2.
I really love the Norn Pic ^^.
It's like I am having a Sugar Rush^^!
The Female Norn is nice only prob is her Chest Armor = P.
I smell 2 handed swords^^.
BTW, Gaile for GW2 can you look in the CC thread some Forumers have amazing Ideas for the Upcoming Classes, And will the other Races have different professions each^^.
Like the Humans will have The Core profs.
And Norns will have thier own profs^^.
Or is it same like the others^^.
And Gaile thanks for the info. I'll tell no one it was you who told us^^.

Holy crap!!!

*invents a time machine and sets dial to "holiday 2007"*

And that female norn isn't manly, she's strong -- it's always annoyed me how female warriors are so thin and petite, as they run around with weapons that in some cases are as big as them -- she looks strong and good to me.

Edit: And as Exoudeous rightly points out below, strong abs do not equal manly.

Who said anything about that being THE GREAT Destroyer?

There are a LOT of things about GW2 that still worry me, but GW:EN looks like a blast. I love GW-style dungeons!

maybe all the women where you are are fat, but women can have six packs too

and to all that say norn females are to manly, well, what do you want? If you honestly think a superstong warrior is going to have a dainty body then you have some serious problems. an example would the the female warrior model in guild wars. no way in hell would a woman with that size be able to wear heavy armor and carry big weapons like that.

teh female norn have wide hips and breasts, if you think thats manly, well once again you have some serious problems,

If the three continents merge into one as they say it would, then i'm really looking forward to travelling by tunnel through those maps, again the art looks really really nice.

I wonder if these underground network areas will be accessible early on to characters, or whether it'll require almost finishing one of the chapters?

I think all of these pics are from GW:EN except this one
http://kotaku.com/photogallery/gw2/1629438 which kinda looks a different graphics engine

But anyway, I'm drooling.

No, that bears a very strong resemblance to the Underworld--you can see several re-used textures.

Nothing ingame from GW2 has been released, as far as I've seen.

They didn't say your stuff could be transferred, they said you could do quests to unlock things to transfer over.

This is really making me excited for GW2. However, why is there so much more info for a game two years away, than the one 7 months away, that has already been in development for a year?

FF: Don't INSULT CLOUD!!!!!

serious: I think she might need a new bra...that metal looks like it hurts...ANYWAY I think these shots are awsome and I REALLY wanna see some new weapons for species only. Such as the *cough* Buster Sword for the norns, a lance for another, and maybe bombs for another one. I donno, just ideas.

Question is....what are we all going to do while we wait another 9 months for the expansion to come out....heaven forbid "hard mode".

It better be REALLY big......

Perhaps a mini-addition (not hard mode) in the summer or something?

Please....
