Thanks for that clarification Gaile. Kind of disappointing though, I was really looking forward to seeing something tied into what happen before with the Orr. On the other hand it seems everything is going rather smoothly in what I have seen so far.

I have to ask the question though; he brought up in his speech about another possible graphical overhaul of the original campaigns. Is this actually going to happen; where Prophecies will include some of these new effects that EotN has?

Also, with graphics changes, is there a chance that I might not be able to run it? I can run all 3 original campaigns. My graphics card is an old piece though.

The "it" I was referring to in that quote was the Norn Arena, not GW:EN in general.

The new music interface sounds helpful and a reason for me to play less with my ITunes track on. Maybe it'll also change the habit of some people thinking their invincible and not rush into things.

How come the Sylvari haven't been revealed yet? Will they not be in EotN?

Edit: Wait.. So theres no Orr ? Just the Tarnished coast? Thats cool I guess. I belived it was explaind that the sylvari arnt around yet, and get "born" as a new race by the end of GW:EN.

how this happens no one knows, for all i know a slyvari could be the result of a human and an Asura getting funky

how this happens no one knows, for all i know a slyvari could be the result of a human and an Asura getting funky It’s quite simple really; a great evil (The Great Destroyer) is destroyed to create a race of greater good (Sylvari). However one small detail is left amiss for the heroes; for it’s the beginning of new evil (or old) rising from the ashes (hence GW 2).

So do you think we're actually going to be able to control our heroes now? That would make it so much more fun. You know, when I was playing FFXII and switching between team members in a non turn-based system, I thought "this could really work in GW". Or maybe it was just for the benefit of the preview. I don't think the skillbar changes to the Charr one and the Charr hero panel doesn't get replaced with the player skills. Nice thought though.

The Burning Wood environment looks incredible.

I can't help to call you a moron, do you think PvPers like PvE? Do you actually think at all? Just try, for once and think what Pvpers have had to put up with over the years to play this game. And this small thing isn't even pvp so learn to think before you shit words out of your mouth.

I was really confused with the hall of monuments part.

There was one area for armors and one area for weapons.

I wasnt aware that you somehow unlock an ascended armor when you buy it or is he just giving bad information and means something to do with pvp armors.

and with the weapons as well, what did he mean there. Is that to do with the green weapons you have on your account or is it just weapon upgrades you've unlocked or maybe just rare skins you currently have on your account.

PvPers don't have to do PvE at all, they got rid of that quite early.... but you are right in that the mini game isn't pvp.

Agreed, the pve's deserve a little love, all the handy skills that we could of used got nerfed to hell when you abused them.

The videos were pretty nice to see. That burning forest looked awesome or it looked like a forest to me, either way it was great. I was hoping we get to see the Asuras and Norns in bear form causing chaos

So, in the HoM, we're going to get one for our mini-pets. Are we only going to be able to display the ones we actually got as gifts, or are we also going to be able to display the ones we've purchased/traded? What's to stop Guildies getting together, lending a pet to one of their own, that person setting up a monument and then lending the pets to the next guy so that he may do the same?

If it's only for the ones we've received as gifts, the unlucky ones who've only received whites might be a little peeved.

So this is what I'm understanding about the 1v1 minigames:

Norn Arena: 1v1 against big name opponents (past and present, guessing like Palawa Joko, etc.) using standard skill bars, equipment, etc.

Dwarven Boxing: 1v1 with arena specific skill bar of only hand2hand skills and brass knuckles vs, i guess, dwarves. what are the attribs for this? are mesmers good at brass knuckle boxing? I guess they'll have to be, but that should be funny.

Polymock: 1v1 arena where you sort of morph into a caster monster with a fixed bar, vs another caster monster. fight consists of 3 battles (since your enemy chooses from 3)? do you have to beat all three of your opponent's choices to win, or just 2 out of 3 or something?
