I was over at ign.com and they have an awesome demo for Guild Wars EotN that I think answers a lot of questions and shows off a lot of neat (and some unexpected) things. Honestly I couldn't care less about EotN untill I saw this Demo and now I can't wait. I suggest everyone go over to IGN and check it out it shows of new armor, locations, how the dungeons will work, some bosses, new heroes, the monument of heroes, and one of the cool little interesting things to me where armor pieces that any profession can use (they showed an example of "magma arms") anyway it's pretty sweet

new put-together vid, but old footage. (yup : not all

)

great info!!!

I like the "special non-set pieces....Ninja mask...that can be used by any profession." bit that was said.

Im guessing that the "mask" is that mask that the dervish wears in the other vid...

/cant wait.

Um. Quote:

"new ways for existing GW players to change the look and appearance of existing characters"

I wonder if this refers to armors only. Anyway, is the monk at the character selection screen sporting an existing hairdo?

Lol; It’s the enhance version of what they showed at E3. Probably to make sure they got it right, so there was no room for error (like some of the errors Gaile pointed out are gone from the video).

Still good for those who have yet to see it though.

EDIT: I have to quote this though:

Quote: Here we have the monument: Valor; where weapons only attainable through Eye of the North are shown. So is that basically saying that weapons you can store there, can only come from EotN? Or is he talking about the monument itself is only offered up in EotN? The wording sounds like the EotN weapons are the only ones that be installed into the monument.

So the weapons for the monument are only obtainable through Eye of the North.. That's somewhat dissapointing. I was looking forward to putting some of the greens I have found in there..

Oh well it was the first time i saw it.. plus the guy giving the narration should nerdy and sexy. But yeah I think the changing of the appearace appears to be things that you can put on that work like armor but are for anything.. like the festival masks kinda.

Finally, in-game voice acting from NPCs. Gotta listen close to hear it under Ben's voice, but it's definitely there. The Norn who takes him to the arena is the first one you hear ("Who sent you?" at 4:19), then later the Asura speaks as well. <insert quote from the dude in the SC2 trailer here>

Haha Jora is HUGE. Yes and she is tall and barely dressed too.

It was nice to fully confirm her as a Warrior HERO. I only hope at some point we will see the other HERO's as well.

PLEASE ANET ONE MORE PARAGON HERO!! PLEEEASE!

My thinking is it sounded like the narrator was only saying it bcuz of what the video was showing, which was GWEN weps, not how the monument worked...

It would be sad if you couldnt display ch1-3 items, which you should be able to since the stuff you put in your HoM are supposedly from all your accomplishments from all the chapters that you own and not just gwen...

but ye it would suck if it's gwen-only weps...

Another thing that caught my eye: What were those "toy-soldier" (guards?) looking things in-between each monument, their proportion looked like minipets. lol. unless the monument items displayed are giant sized...hmmm...

That spot in the hall of monuments where you place your armor sets won't fit all 43 sets of my 15k armor......

I'm betting we can put as much of anything into the HoM, but we are only allowed to show a certain number of them, similar to how we can have multiple titles but can only show off one at a time.

The pet enclosure doesn't look very big either btw. Neither does the hero section.

<---- You

I would suspect there will be at least 4 different masks just as there will be at least 4 types of gloves, and I'm sure each will have something unique about them, such as +1 level to Asura granted PvE skills etc.. Otherwise why have them at all, they must do something unique.

That was just a theory however.

One thing I was'nt sure about was the fighting game. The Monk kept his skills, which means that characters which are easily able to solo will have a distinct advantage over others.

I thought one got a distinct set of fighting skills, so that any profession would be equally competitive.
