I think the music in the video was awesome.=D
prism2525
the music in the video is a remaking of the GW1 and pre searing music. Still cool though.
PS: we want the option to change login screens PLS!!

I hope they can mix up monsters so you get different groups in different areas at different times, etc rather than the same mobs all the time. One of the boring things about GW chapters has been knowing that the same group will be on the same patrol route, etc, etc.

Perhaps this will force players to make some good "other than fire" builds in GWEN? I've always been annoyed with only using fire to beat a mission.

GW:EN FTW, need to have it nooooooooow!!, i cant wait any longer!

It would be awesomely cruel if the dungeons were randomly generated(with a blank map apart from your compass) to stop people from just using wiki to find their way out and depending solely on the guide NPC.
wetsparks
One last point about winter. It is a Prophecies only skill. So, yes it is possible that poster had not heard of it if (s)he doesnt have that chapter.

I've had this game for 2 years...I'll make another 'good build in GWEN' if GWEN includes some decent PvE skills for the other elements.

Theres always a good thing about foes who are resistant to fire damage... they almost always seem to take along Greater Conflagration, which just makes Winter all the more fun.

If they truly did work round the fact that Winter would just own any attempt to stop Fire Eles ruling PvE i can just see everyone switching to Earth Eles instead, possibly a few Water. I'm sure nobody will complain about the odd Ward against Harm/Melee/Elements/Stability with 4x Sandstorm/Eruption eles.

Ok after watching that video...
Those portals just scream 'Stargate' and the bit just before it really does look like the Dwarven City from LoTR. We'd better not be doing a Gandelf in there...
It would also help if i could remember the names of the area and monster!

That would be Moria (Khazad-dûm (Mansions of the Dwarves)) and the Balrog.

You're looking for Khazad-Dum and the Balrog.
Evilsod
They're the ones!
I blame GW... all i could frigging think of was Moludane.

So not only are you screwed (supposedly) when you die in the instance, you also lose gold??? Hah, that is just too awesome.

I just hope it is little, because I'm poor.

This article made me cringe. This is the WORST written article, by anyone, about anything. Example:
That's right. Read that a couple of times. In fact, I'll bold it for you.
OH REALLY? DOES THAT MEAN I CAN RESURRECT TEAM MATES? WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED IN THE LAST 3 GAMES?

Just politically incorrect terminology.
The Great Al
I sure hope that the dungeons aren't linear, and if it's your first time through, and you're not looking at a guildwiki map, that it'll actually take some exploring to get from point A to point B, which, in GW, is too often a straight line (well, a non-branching path)

Im thinkin it could be nice and atmospheric so im not really worried. Im more worried about GW2 and the new playable races. I think the main reason GW feels so communal is the fact that everyones human. I think if they out in new playable races it will lose that communal feeling and become a bit less personal and involving.
Saraphim
^ I'm more concerned that they'll go down the route of restricting some professions to certain races or sexes. I'd hope not, as it wouldn't really fit with GW as a whole. F'rinstance, in Archlord I could only play a ranger or warrior as a male.
I read this as the same mechanic we've always had as well. Although it does beg the question - are there no res shrines? Which would put it in the 'kicked back to the last outpost' category in the event of a party wipe. That may even be a badly worded explanation of a res shrine.

As the possibility of loosing gold when you die goes. If they did implement such a thing it would get removed so fast when people started quiting the game after getting sick of players leaving just before death to avoid a gold penalty.
That bit about ressurecting really makes no sense at all... at least get someone to write it who actually plays GW.

hehe ive already got my GW:en pre-ordered ^_^

I don't believe the writer is saying you will have your gold stolen.
I think he was looking for a way to say, "where monsters die, there is loot for players."
It came out as, "Where blood is shed, wealth is stolen." I really don't think any of your wealth will be "stolen."
Also, I think it would be interesting if certain types of deaths would "permanently" kill hero/henches. Permanently for the duration of the dungeon, that is. This would be the ultimate way to re-encourage people to group again. Of course, given the clarity of the prose int he IGN article, it's anyone's guess.
