You do know that you can spin your toon around so that he's facing any way you want him to? Granted, it won't stay that way but really, how much difference does it make when you are on that screen for what, 10 seconds or less?

For a lot of people, it's important. It sets the mood before you actually start playing.

Wow! Thanks!
That's amazing, I even got to hear the first theme again... What a feeling that brought back!

I absolutely love the new screen. It makes me a bit homesick but I get to see northern lights so its ok!

Brings me back to the days when it was just prophecies, I love it and i miss it

It would be awesome if they allowed you to choose between 4 login screens (if you own needed chapter/exp).

I like it the best out of all of them... I do like the prophecies one; with your characters standing together. I think they should have made a new camp on a mountain with all your characters sitting or standing about doing something relating to their profession? Such as have my warrior sitting on a crate in front of the fire sharpening his flamberge!
trielementz
can anyone confirm if the new theme song is still playing? cuz all i hear is howling from a wolf. 
edit: had the music volume turned down. didn't know i could do that. heh.

I would probably love it if it didnt lag so horribly. Right now we have about 3fps during login making it very tedious to actually log in and select a char. None of the other intro screen backgrounds lagged so I think this one probably just needs some optimization. I hope soon, cause as it stands, I'm finding myself less inclined to play GW because of the hassle of actually logging in. Reducing the graphics settings hasnt helped significantly either, so I'm thinking the problem is in optimization.

Meh, I don't have lag problems but none of the animations play and I have horrible lines in the background thanks to anet upgrade in login graphics last tuesday. Its a very nice background I just wish I could enjoy its full splendor. Hopefully Anet notices my thred in bugs and fixs it.

m19 Here you go, looked it up myself since I had a brain fart and couldn't remember what factions looked like.

Brings back good memories...and I enjoy how the flames look on this new login screen. If you look through the flames at your character, you can see your char wavyish as if actually looking through them. Nice up on the graphics if you ask me.

I've sent a report to Anet concerning this already and still await their reply. I like you want to enjoy my login screen and want to know more about the problem before i go along buying a new graphics card.
Oh and the music for this is so damn awesome. A good way to send out the last Guild Wars add on imo.

They should just have an option that allows us to choose which background we would like!!!!

Perhaps you need to check something on your pc(hardware/drivers). Even my ancient system runs it fine on high settings.

C'mon, has anybody seen photos of Yosemite Valley? Its a exact duplicate from the South Gate, with Half Dome exactly in the same position. They added some Northern Lights and a fire...
Guess some people need to get out more often or open a book (i.e. Ansel Adams)
Anyway...Its a nice change, and it makes me want to visit Yosemite again soon.

I do remember having some lag in the intro screens before NF came out as well which resolved itself for the most part once it released. I'm hoping the same happens with GWEN. Or better yet, giving the players the option of which background they would like to see on start up or turning off the graphical login screen all together. They are a nice feature, but, quite frankly, I'd like to actually log in and play the game more then stare at the login screen.
Anyway, long story short, my machine is no spring chicken, but well maintained. I am still years from getting anything new as I have limited income. I just wanted to find out if anyone else in the community was experiencing lag in the login screen as well as to suggest some optimization of the login screen and/or options to turn it off or change it to an older one. I miss the original login screen.

edit: For the heck of it, I lowered all my settings, audio and graphical, to minimum. There is no change what so ever in the FPS. Its like its getting bogged down in the processors themselves (I have 2 processors btw) which I have found to happen from time to time with different softwares that are not optimized for dual processors. I hope this gets resolved, because I'm not feeling the urge to want to play GW atm.

SNOW
It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow.
Snow
I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow.
Snow
I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow
Snow
Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow
Where it's snowing
All winter through
That's where I want to be
Snowball throwing
That's what I'll do
How I'm longing to ski
Through the snow-oh-oh-oh-oh
LOL heck. I have been driving my relatives crazy singing that song since the weather turned colder. lol
Of course I'm in Alaska lol We will have snow in a few weeks from now I would anticipate... Least on the mountains..
