Ooze Pit (2 levels)

I saw dream based to expansion in previous night.

Kamadan got opening to hil/mountain/rock wall, then there was yellow/orange light from there and players entered to that area via it. Eventually got transported to city.

I guess Ooze sounds more frightening then Jelly. They still look dam cool though. Defiantly bring back memories of the Zelda games, just looking at those things.

That would be pretty cool if they had some quests they tied into EotN, in the other campaigns. Like those they had for Factions before it got shipped out. However I doubt it.

I get the Ooze, but why a giant rat?? Either way, I'm looking forward to Destroyers rampaging about this weekend

Rodents, and many other animals, are particularly sensitive to impending natural disasters (which in this case are the earthquakes).

So I got the rats, but what's with the Oozes?

earthquake = underground disruption = things that were underground seek safety above ground

I'm probably the only one getting remnants of the Great and Mighty Poo from Conker's bad fur day.

But yea, this is pretty intriuging. Earthquakes popping up and releasing primordial ooze upon the 3 port cities. It'd be even cooler if other random cities got other npc's.

Dear Roo Ella,

I am sorry to inform you that, judging by the last picture you've posted, your character seems to have taken part in tentacle hentai in some form. You shall be given royalty checks of 5 pieces of gold per mental image used, have a nice day!

(Sorry, and feel free to flame me for this. I'm just EXTREMELY bored ATM with nothing better to do untill friday/early saturday, seeing as I will be in bed asleep by the time GWEN preview is launched. ;p)

I noticed that the video had quality issues and I was wondering if it was caused by the earthquake? Does the earthquake cause uber lag?

I managed to capture them with fraps in Lions Arch aswell. I kept missing the start of them at first. Loved the "WTF JUST HAPPEND" spam after they had hit.

The other pets on GW:EN are reskins of the black bear, wolf and phoenix. Polar Bear, snow wolf (white fur), and mountain eagle.

Ya srsly. I hope you're talking about the game itself and not Gwen the character.
