Hey was just looking over some screenshots for GW:EotN and came across this... Seems like some sort of Sin? I can't get on Guild Wars at the moment so can anyone tell me if its possible to have that hair style and facial expression when creating a Sin? If so is this the first glimpse of a future armor? Could be an NPC i guess...

Eh, I hope that's NPC armor because I don't find it intriguing...

Looks like NPC armor to me (there are only a limited number of sin faces/hair styles and you can't create a character in GW:EN so therefore since that face doesn't look like a sin to me).

Still kinda cool.

Well, this only me speculating, but yes, it looks like npc armor, and no, that hair and face is not selectable for character creation. Soooo, this could mean that this here fellow is our new Assassin Hero? Maybe... My theory is that 10 new heroes may suggest 1 of each profession, and possibly to even things out, anet may be going for the opposite gender of what is currently available. Things that kinda hint at this are the infamous 'Gwen-Look-Alike' Mesmer, which would counter the male Mesmer, Norgu. And now that we have this screenie, it further strengthens my lame theory with a male Assassin Hero(?) to counter the female Assassin, Zenmai...? In due time, in due time... =oP

Anyhoo, I personally love the armor! Some of you may be thinking it's pretty basic compared to, say, Vabbian or Elite Kurzick. But seriously, how many 'traditional' Ninja/Assassins do you see prancing around with fancy dancy armor? This armor looks so awesomly ninja-ish it ain't funny =o)

A little off-topic, but imo, IF indeed anet have got Gwen in GW:EN, then they will be earning themselves mega brownie points if they make her a Hero! =o) (no idea if this has already been mentioned, i'm not an everyday regular here) Who wouldn't want the most ellusive mysterious GW character as a comrade? Huh? =o)

"Gwen, I don't care that you've been missing the last few years, just stay where I flagged you with the rest of the group! Damnit!" =oP

Well, I'm done...

I think it might be one of the new heroes. The face and hair are not from factions, and the armour is a little too nicely done. Also, note that he's not wearing a mask or any other headgear (which is the case with heroes).

oh like the speculation on the new heros....a female ele and some female warrriors would be nice (not a hammer though, kinda sick of devona)....male sin would be nice too........female necro like Eve?
Gwen as a hero.....dont know if I want her following me around for yet another turn of events....and there probably wont be any red iris flowers to give her to make her happy----though could return the cape and flute! (give me some more storage space then).

Never thought of the possibility of it being a Hero... I like your theory though about opposite genders.

True... But consider this as a slight possibility: Zenmai's 3 Armor options were slight variations of Player-craftable armors =o) So just maybe, this is a Hero version of one of the new sin armors? =o)

Who knows, since the hair is unlike anything we've seen, it could very well be another Sin hero, thats my guess.

Either way, the armors cool!
