Excellent Pictures.

Great article. Clarifies the Hall of Monuments a bit too!
Love the pictures. I'm using the Charr as a wallpaper now.
Did you guys notice the GW2 logo is a map of Tyria?

hard mode adds replayability to all 3 chapters, it'll keep us busy for a while.

Her bra has runes of levitation... It's fantasy!
The Bloodrose
The norns remind me alot of the Barbarian shamans out of Everquest. With certain spells they could shapshift into wild beasts as well. Wonder where anet got the idea of them from? 
Rashkasha
Very nice concept art. Is it me, or that girl with a bear looks just like Cate Blanchett?

Shadow
She looks cool, but um, she's missing the rest of her armor. The nipple caps look akward. I especially like the white-ish Charr.

...Is it wierd that I'm most excited by the Norn architecture?

Does anyone else notice that the bear has armor and tattoos almost EXACTLY like the fem warrior. MY guess is that the bear is a Male Warrior(or Ranger) thats shapeshifted into a bear! SHAPESHIFTING NORNS!!!
THAT would be awesome.

Each race will have unique skills, though it's unknown what the Sylvia, Charr or Asura skills will be.
oh, and creelie, I think the buildings look cool as well. I have a feeling Norns are going to be very popular...

OMG, the Asura are goblins! Of course! *head smack*
So yeah, the Asura are not Stitch, but more like Stitch is a stylized Goblin, and they happen to both come from the same source. Goblins are very much a fantasy classic, and fit perfectly into the Guild Wars world. Take that, haters!

So the Hall of Monuments works as linking GW2 characters to GW1 characters achievments.
How does gaining family inheritance of my ele girl by a newly created Charr character in GW2 sounds?
Also i wonder how is transfering of the account-based titles going to work (like Hero title hinted at PCGamer) or will the linking between characters will be only one-one or can I have more gw2 chars gaining from achievements of one?

After all, the article did say the Charr were very Mongol-esque.

Concept art always amazes me

I'm thinking rather than transferring the exact pixels belonging to a GW1 character, the hall helps GW2 chars get equipped with some unique weapons and armor of their own.
Because really, what use does a Char Chomping Lord have for a sword smaller than his own claw? And I doubt an Asuran Engineer is going to be impressed by an inheritance of Istani elementalist armor.

what i want from GW:EN two things...
1). The Warrior Armor in GW:EN better be what I have been waiting for... MEANING, epic Warrior Knight Style helm...
NON nipple showing, batman, super shredder, batman reskinned, Nightmare from Soul Calibur, Vabbian is the only sweet armor, I want what the warrior SHOULD have looked like.
2). Give the warrior a "Leap Attack" PLEASE
Much like the one in... D2, yes i said it. I want to jump over a small stream of water and attack. I want to jump over a Ettin and attack. I want to LEAP over the **[SPOILER]** Lich and kill Shiro **[END SPOILER]**
Either way it will be epic.

And speaking of which - the norn woman is wearing metal pasties. Haven't we all seen pasties before? Maybe the GW design team meets at strip clubs after hours for ideas. Good ideas. But...kinky ideas.

"Every monument earned will unlock something, from heroes and pets to weapons, clothes and miniatures, in Guild Wars 2."
Now I don't know if I am grasping here or not, but we currently do not have clothes in Guild Wars. If the author of the article does actually mean clothes and not armor, is GW:EN going to give us town clothes?
Mmmm intriguing.
Other thing that I'm not so sure about (Don't get me wrong the games, gwen & gw2 both sound amazing) is this :
"By achieving victories in these battles there will be benefits to your world," Strain said. "Bonuses, advantages, maybe everyone gets increased energy regeneration or healing rate or enhanced loot drop rate."
I HOPE it is nothing like that horrid system in cantha where faction ruled.
Oh and thanks so much for linking us to this article. Two thumbs up!

I seriously hope the Charr look similar to the artwork rather than cartoonish as in GW1
Please, Gaile, don't say they won't.

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.  |

Wow! The artwork is amazing! And, hell yeh, if the charrs do really look like that I think i'll be making one sooner than I thought! Although it's obvious that the artwork is always a bit more beautifull cause it's drawed.
Edit:
I hope this finnaly shuts up some ppl around here! xD
