Does anyone else see the preview of one of the new armors in one of the screenshots, or is that just a Norn?

They call that a Fansite Kit? Oh well, I'll take what I can get.

My only complaint is that the GWEN Wallpapers look awkward. The new screenshots look awesome though.

Yeah...Gaile confirmed over at GWO that there will be no collectors edition.

But that instead they have a secret unannounced project instead...or something like that...

That's one big spider. I wonder how Gwen feels about having to fight it so close. Didn't she say she doesn't like bugs?

guild? I am supposed to have a guild?

hm Aug 31 seems really close....and with only 60 odd days away you'd think more info would already be out there. Which leads me to think that it will be delayed until the end of September (I recall that we had more than a 2 month pre-order window with both factions and nightfall, dont see why this one should be any different). And the fourth quarter really doesnt start until October so September is still 3rd quarter (july/aug/sept)...and within the 3rd quarter release tidbit we had.
[I can hope as I will be away at the end of August....]

Thats a Norn. However you can be sure with 40 new armors, 10 professions 4 armor per profession that you'll get 1 set of armor crafted by each special race. This is just a guess of mine and I have no proof of it, but I am guessing that the Norn will craft armor for you which is alot like theirs, etc and so on. Lets see what races you play with that could craft, Norn, Dwarves, Asura, maybe charr?

From wiki.

Eye of the North's story is divided into three sections:

-The first takes place in the Depths of Tyria (which are revealed when earthquakes rip through the 3 continents), which contains 18 dungeons and involves helping the Dwarves fight against the Great Destroyer.

-The second will involve three separate arcs involving the Asura on the Tarnished Coast near the Maguuma Jungle, the Norns in the Far Shiverpeaks and the Charr homeland north of Ascalon.

-The third will involve fighting the Great Destroyer.


I donno though, but I really wanna find out and preview (if only look at) the new skills.

She also said don't trust the information that came out weeks before PC Gamers 'exclusive' article, which ended up being all correct.

I'm all for them not announcing a release date until they're good and ready... can you imagine the fuss there'd be if they gave us a potential release date and it ended up slipping? 'OMG Anet U promised it wud b out on this date and u lied! Anet is evil and eats babys!!!11!' etc...

And that shot of the tiny Asura angrily facing off against that huge beastie made me lol - I think I'm starting to warm to those guys...

True, but that was probably to cover pc gamers ass since it wouldn't have been much of an exclusive if it was leaked and everyone knew.

Boo Hoo, 150 new skills. there are already almost 1200 in the game, I'm sure half of wich are rarly used, I was really hoping they wouldn't add any more. And 50 of them are PvE only, WTF? Why? Skills are skills, they've already created overpowered PvE only skills that make Hard Mode a joke.

As far as a release date goes, I say STFU about crying for one and just be happy there is another expantion coming. ANet could have easily dropped all attempts at adding to GW to focus completly on GW2, (which I'm sure everyone will cry about a release date for very soon) I used to run a SAR Server for Ghost Recon but when they decided to make a GR2 they dropped everything that had to do with the first game and it died. By the time they made GR3 (as GR2 was not released on PC) the world had forgoten about it and it had no where near the success they were expecting, acctully it had no success at all.

Is it still going to be $40? Thats a lot of money to pay for a couple of extra maps and skins.

sure this is going to be a great game but remember its an expansion pack and not like the other games which can be standalone. This is like extras and wont be as big as the other games, they've already said its not going to be as big and its just about exploring and having mroe fun.
i beleve they also said that the game wasn't going to cost as much ...this was said ages and ages ago
