                    Accidentally discovered this template code which someone shouted at batlhazar temple as gw2 skills: OQASQ5KPW+HflnyP5l8ReAA
Actually tried it:
Whoa. This looks seriously imba, Any ideas?

                    that looks nice, you would need some serious team builds, or just a Shadowform tank with some bonds and smite monks.

                    Wow, that is really neat. 
Now I want to play around with the template... I should write a script that makes ever possible combination of strings and writes them all to files. :>

Easy way to find out is to put the code into the template before A-net fixes it.

                    This calls for an UBER PvE balance I see.
A.Net please balance PvE or I play WoW.

its not photoshop, I just tried it and it worked  BUT you cant put them in your own skillbar, just show them in the template one.

                    Yeah, the code works. Maybe they're for GW:EN. It's probably too early for GW2.

                    It's real, I just did it.  Anyway, there's no way to equip them.   I just wanna run at 3000%.  Even if I get no drops, noone comes with me into the zone, I just want run speed!  I just love scooting around really fast.

I'm thinking a couple might be PvE- or Mission-Specific skills (ala disable sentry mine).
Either that or they're dev skills. But the Cracked Armour makes me think that they're somehow related to GW:EN.

                    The ATS testers can see these skills. My guess is someone in ATS made a build code and copied it. I'm kinda surprised to see these show up on Live servers unless they might be introduced during hard mode.

                    2 questions / answers:
1) A this new skills? They might be as they are not described as monster skills anywhere so far.
2) Can you use them. No. Each skill has unique ID, and this template string is just a combination of them. Each skill is checked if you can use it before it is put on skillbar. You can make template with Celestial, monster, wurm or even with multiple elite skills, but that doesn't mean you can actually use them.

                    Holy shit. If these are the hard mode skills used by the monsters, then I will be very disappointed.

                    These are monster skills. However, looks like ANET will NOT be working towards balancing PvE. GfG

                    If anything, it's Anet moving Hard Mode/GW:EN stuff over to the real servers. I'm leaning towards Hard Mode...

                    Guys, stop worrying about game balance. You've got to be a blockhead to think Anet will introduce these skills with no counter actions. If they add a 3000% movement buff, it's for a reason. Chill and wait.

Yes, except, if its IS hard mode stuff, i know tons of people who are gonna be really disappointed because they wanted actually fun to fight against oponents who are strong becasue of ai and smart skillsets, not because of Enraged alike stuff.
And reason for 3000% speed buff is obvious - its basically giving monsters teleport-like ability that they can use on will - to prevent carefull pulling (its hardly pull when your puller is immediatelly swarmed by monsters) or tanking (there is no longer point in sparing enemies around tank to make it work) or to prevent trap teams (monsters will literally fly thought traps and slaughter helpless trappers before they nocite they are recieving damage.)

                    Well, no doubt that the skills still need balancing. There are also some grammar and spelling mistakes in the skill description, and the stances have no duration and stuff like that.
But we can easily see that they are indeed SUPER powerful. 6 Conditions at once, 100 fire damage and poison + disease.
They will probably become Elite Skills or you can have only one on the bar at a time. Maybe each skill is restricted to a certain class, much like the Celestial skills.
Still, when they go to introduce such super powerful skills, one can ask why. Are the mobs all enraged DoA style mobs on crack? Or are these player skills? What do we get to combat the mobs?
I do not think that power creep - make monsters tougher, stronger, and also the player - makes for a hard mode, rather for a retard mode.
I hope these skills are only used in some missions on special places and are not permanently on our bar.
But I would hate them as bandaids for bad game design. We already have tons of skills, why not make us use them all.
There could be mobs with +200 armor vs physical damage, make players think and find out that they take elemental damage, and have -100 to lightning damage.
Or mobs that simply do not burn - a nice D'oh for SF Elementalists. Areas that call for ice damage and snares.
Maybe areas where we must split the party, make use of hero and pet controls and stuff like that.
It is too early to cry "CRAP!!!", but I hope we get stronger mobs that require some tricks and strategy - this would also greatly increase the usefulness of Mesmers in PvE.
Instead of just more and stronger mobs that we then simply decimate with our new uber-pve-skills.

                    Once again, the PvE side of the game gets hosed, doused with paint, stuffed into a garbage can, and rolled down Mount Everest. I don't even think a team of 36 players could take down a single monster with those skills. What are you trying to do, ANET, kill your entire PvE fanbase? This is  not making the game "more challenging" or "more interesting. This will make the game insanely hard/frustrating/impossible.
