GW:EN Info from Gamespot

Um actually a lot of this is new...To me, at least. I never heard of the Far Shiverpeaks, and there's also a new screenshot(s?)

GS: In terms of content, how does Eye of the North measure up against the previous chapters? Is it about the same size as its predecessors in terms of both the size of the world and the number of quests and adventures? BM: That is actually a difficult question to answer, as expectations of value are subjective. Added to that, expansions in general vary greatly in terms of both value and quality. With that said, Guild Wars has delivered games above and beyond what people have expected in many ways, and I see Eye of the North continuing that trend. Will it surpass player's expectations in terms of gameplay and visual aesthetic? Absolutely! It is by far the most gorgeous thing we have done to date. Will it have engaging content that will keep players entertained for countless hours? Absolutely. |
That's pretty speak for "you're not getting that info".

Lol. The screenshots are pretty. D:

Ben Miller called people who live in Ascalon as.....Ascalonians. I thought we (players) have come to an agreement that they're called Ascalons?

Hmmmm... I always called them Ascalonians, myself.

He mention the factions, and different ranks for earning faction with them, which reminds me of WoW. IMO though, the more I hear about this, the less I think "World of Guildcraft" and more of GW with a few WoW-esque elements, which sounds better and better. And the Norns can own ice-wyrms? Goodbye wammo, hello nor...umm, normmo? W/E it sounded sweet! But Asurans, though...one of the few reasons I like gnomes is because they blow up in your face! But the Asurans make stuff that works! HERESY! All in all, despite this semi-rant, the future looks brighter!

This is pure speculation ( which I usaly dnt do) but sounds lik were gonna be fighting some snow wyrms ( a.k.a. ice/snow/white dragons), woot for a la Dungeon est dragon ( thats french for " woot for dungeons and dragon )
Other wise, this sounds really good. all I have to say.
/Prays to baltazar for dragons in GW:EN
P.S. Ascalonians

i did too,
/edit I CAN'T TYPE AT 12 30 AM
The interveiw revealed allot, however my ultimate question about the Slyvarians wasn't answered... at all
Now I want Gw:EN even more just to see what type of race they are, since the Asurians are the smart undeground race and the Norns are the EPIC WARRIOR HERO(S) every Whammo aspires to be ^^And they also stated with the monument thing that they're still debating what your character in GW2 will benefit from your GW1 character(s), so can't wait to see how that works, and the Armor idea seems cool, maybe with luck we'll finally get Barbarianish armor for our warriors

I reckon I need to pack away the sunspear and vabbian slutwear and break out something a little warmer for my ele to wear if we are gonna be trekking through snow-covered peaks.

I'll admit its possible for the Asura to suprise me, but I doubt it. Infact, I doubt anything can contend with the scientific prowess in Arcanum (industrial revolution + magic/fantasy ftw).

sounded good overall and I hate to moan so early in a games development but "Sunspear and Lightbringer titles were well received." these are the things I hate most about Nightfall, I really hope they don't make us grind x amount of kills just to proceed to the next part of the game.

This has actually gotten me interested in Guild Wars again...slightly. Along with hard mode, I desperately need new content.

Then I will call them Ascalonese.

Eye of the North pretty much equals the final nail in the coffin for the original Guild Wars lore. Of course what bothers me is that looming feeling that A-net is going to make it finality in terms of death. That is of course to our characters; who probably going to sacrifice themselves for the good of all Tyria. However I do not believe the great destroyer is actually the main root of all evil in “Eye of the North.” I bet you there is another shadow that wants to make sure that our characters pass on into the mists they can finish their job.
It was interesting to hear that, since it sound like just an advance version of the lightbringer gaze skill. A small added effect to that skill. I have to say some of us loved the Lightbringer skills, while other loathed them for its grind feature. Since every character had to go through the same process in getting them.

It does a wide blast of area-of-effect damage to evil stuff, as well reveal hidden secrets with its magical radiance.” |

Anyone else wondering what that orange and black thing is with the Chaos Axe?
Unless it's a destroyer.
I think he means since we only get part instead of all

I really like all the new information, however I wonder what "secrets" will be found with the Light of Deldrimor. Will it be items, or secrets passages like the hidden city of Ahdashim (Not sure about the spelling, sorry).
Just a minor note before going :
Please, I beg of you : don't use french if you don't have any clue about the language itself.
Dungeon = donjon
and = et
for = pour.
The only correct word was "dragon" and because it's written exactly the same

Was a good interview, I don't want to know about the Norn, or the house elves *cough* I mean Asurans. I want to know about the Slyvarians.

I am french, but I'm horrible at spelling, thats why I failed it once and barely past in High school . Its not that I dont know, its that I'm horrible at it Plus when I worte that, it was pass 1 am, so I was not thinking right.On peut tu metre cela derriere nous et pense au futur! Avec toutes ces nouvelle, il ne faut pas s'inquite pour quelque erreur de francais.
P.S: yes I'm missing a bunch of accent and there probably a bunch of error in there, but I'm rusty AND horrible at spelling
