GW:EN Rumors

I heard these content rumors from a friend, who read it somewhere, for GW:EN...

Possible Skills:
Pure was Li Ming
Hold Li Ming's ashes for # seconds. While you hold her ashes, conditions on you expire # faster. When you drop her ashes, all allies within earshot lose # conditions.

Golem Shrapnel
The golem is damaged by the explosion. Small shards splinter off, causing Bleeding for # seconds to all adjacent foes


And, I heard these are some of the places in GWEN:
Harpy Caverns, Charr Temple, Jelly Den, Destroyer's Hive, Yeti Cave, Wurm Tunnels, Spider Lair

And here's some possible Quest names:
Journey to Nornheim, Ancient Ruins, Heart of the Mountain, Freeing the Vanguard

Edit:
These neat sounding items, too
Charr Bauble, Charr chalice, Golden Charr Relic, Exquisite Charr Carvings

And this character named Murakai, a Necromancer.

2nd Edit:
These Skills names...
Possibly Mesmer: Misery Signet, Logic Bomb, Aneurysm, Wastrel's Feast
Necromancer: Masochism
Elementalist: Glyph of Immolation, Glyph of Swiftness
Monk: Patience is Virtue, Spotless Mind, Spotless Soul
and another Ritualist skill: Energitic Was Lee-Sa

Nice! I hope this is true cause the Pure was Li Ming sounds good

The Jelly Den? Unlikely
although the other stuff is plausible

All I have to say is interesting, if true that is. I wonder if Golem Shrapnel is a type of enchantment skill like Death Nova not in it self a new minion.

Edit: These skills sound hilarious just in name only, Monk: Patience is Virtue and Mesmer: Logic Bomb.

Necromancer: Masochism and Mesmer: Aneurysm kind of sound a little too odd, even by GW standards.

Wurm Tunnels gets me interested since wurms are my favoruite creatures in the game

Seems like each type of creature gets their own home in GWEN :P

Yeah that makes me wonder if these caverns really do go under all of GW world itself, and not limited to the continent of Tyria. So it actually goes under Elona and Cantha continents. I know about the great earthquake, but does it show an outline of where you are in those other continents; if you don’t have the other campaigns. However they could show a subterranean maps of all three continents if need be, probably as an outline of them.

They probably do run all under Tyria (the world, not the continent), since the Dredge Moleneaux mentions tunnels linking the Shiverpeaks to Cantha, specifically to some as-yet-unseen location in the Echovald Forest.

On another note... Murakai... hm, female Canthan Necromancer perhaps? A contender to Eve perhaps? Oh I hope.

After the Asura, I think ANYTHING is possible.

Yeah, even a Blinky's Tome for a mesmer off-hand (don't ask).

LoL at Golem Shrapnel. Are we in world war 2 here? Shrapnel? that sounds kinda farce to me.

Need your sources first. "Your friend said so" doesn't cut it.

Also, here's an image that we couldn't identify as anywhere in the game... Can anyone here identify it?

Enjoy - And tell you friend his "golem" is waaaaaaay off, besides the golem description goes agaisnt skills, they generally dont describe HOW things happen

can we have a source on this...?

Mr. Gs' post came from ATS beta testers finding new skills on the test servers. They were quickly documented and saved to several other places, as they did not have to sign an NDA to participate.

Or so people claim.

Good lord..... Cure hex is OP if it is true.. umm, just NO.

I'm not saying you're lying...but the whole "I have a friend who heard from another friend who read somewhere about the Queen hearing that someone from ANet said..." sounds a tiny bit dodgy...

A friend of a friend also told me about a new paragon's shout call "Shut the f@@k up!" all spells disable, any caster attemping to cast a spell while having the affect of this shout on them will be knock down for 5 sec.

Erm, all lame jokes aside. Who is this friend?

It would make sense for a monster skill.

Hanlon's razor:

'Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice.'

OMG, you're killing me! rofl!

/close please

This thread is all rumored speculaton and could just be some guy pulling everybody's leg. Until we get sources for any of this stuff, I REALLY don't want to see somebody spread anymore misinformation on these forums.

close anyway, all this had been disscused about 2 months ago when these skills were first revealed....

the inquirer-like friend?

If that's the case, his rumor would be 100% true, with not even 1% of error in it.

If OPs friend is bored of being alpha tester and wants to leak, then he needs to provide more serious info.

Screenshots (BMP so that jpeg artefacts dont spawn "photoshoped!!!" madness) are fine way of doing it. Something that can be found in live build to make people believe is even better, ingame video is best.

L2L (Learn to Leak).

Amen to that. it seems like 80% of the threads are either pure speculation about the next release or complaining about the current one (PvP is dead, HM sucks, bots bots bots, loot scaling sucks....). It's hard to find the 20% that are worth reading.

Wow you guys really know how to take an axe to someone’s rumors, even if was title "rumors," in it. Yeah I learned from my mistake from trusting other people, after the whole escapade with Fable and that horrid fake Master Bard. So I never really take anything seriously when it’s entitled with a “rumor,” in it. I just play along.

I don't know why people still try to be smart and axe every rumor they find, especially after the whole Inquirer-spilled incident (in which, let me remind you, more than half of the community including Gaile dished the rumor as "somewhat misleading" and "downright wrong". But then th entire thing turned out to be 100% correct, even the screenshot provided AND numbers of skills/armors/dungeons).

Don't we ever learn?

Who r u?
Screenshots in BMP = credible. Typed list = dodgy esp when some skill have points in them and some don't.

OMG Aneurism Mesmer skill, it can insta-kill a careless Ele! w0000t

thats impossible lol...
Cacophany 10e 2c 15r - Hex Spell. For 17 seconds, whenever target foe uses a shout or Chant, that foe takes 119 damage. Curses

with a 15 recharge and it lasts 17 sec... you can keep this skill up 100% of the time (if you have energy). + the damage output is a little high isnt it?

yea sounds like a load of BS.

Though those names do sound a bit like Gw's
ideas.

Dunno we'll see.

My friend read somewhere that the asura will pretend to be dogs to blend into cantha, and other weird alien creatures will show up and you will have to find their true use in society.

why impossible ? lets compare with backfire:

put Cacophany on a paragon and he can still use high damage attack skills against you
put Backfire on a spellcaster and he can't do real damage to you without taking 119 dmg form backfire
backfire can be more devastating but has shorter duration, cacophany is more conditional but has longer duration

I heard from a my friend, who heard it from his g/f, who heard it from her hairdresser, who heard it from this guy in a box on the street, who heard it from a really reliable source....

...that Prince Rurik is actually a bit *does camp gesture*!! I mean he does wear gold armor!! Come on!!!

Any chance we could know where he read this. Just incase we felt like checking the reliabilty out! Not that we dont believe your friend, or the little green monkey that told him these rumours!

There is going to be loads of speculation about GWEN until its released, or we get previews or confirmation from Anet. I wouldnt put any validity on anything you read or "hear", until you know for sure. It will only result in the same thing as Hard Mode.

Everyone thought all these amazing things were going to be added, and then everyone was disapointed. Speculation just leads to let-down in my experience.

Speculation serves little purpose without a lot more base.
