Call of the Eye?

I just completed the Norn primary quest and I now have a 'skill' on me whenever I'm not at the Eye of the North Itself: 'Call of the Eye: Skill. You feel the Eye of the North calling you'.

Any ideas on what to do?

Any ideas on what to do? Take off the ring, man.

try heading to the eye of the north I've seen this in quite a few screen shots recently, so it's definitely not a joke.

Seems strange to go through the coding if its just a joke at LotR's

Seriously though, I don't think its a LotR pun, my guess is that its to continue the game once unlocked next weekend. If I go into the HoM the Scrying pool has the green down arrow as if to continue a quest, but there are no continuation options. Again my guess is you are pulled to the eye to see the next vision, which will prompt you to either go to the Asura or Vanguard zones.

Unless someone else knows what it is for.

You are probably supposed to get another vision from the HoM water pool (it has an exclamation mark above it). Unfortunately the story can't progress until release.

At this point it is assumed that players receive Call of the Eye when they have completed all the primary quests available to them during the Sneak Peek Weekend.

(a bit late since the preview is over).....
but I had the same thing on me. Tried going to the pool, didnt do a ting for me. Still had it on me when i got booted out of the area. I dont think it has to do with an easy way back to (pre) opened areas, because not all the people i ran with got that. I just wonder if we will have it again come friday...

I just think it's a thing that says "Buy EotN...it's calling you..." subliminal messages and such....

I had it also, but I noticed it only when I had a completed quest in my log. Was thinking it was a call back to collect my reward.

The scrying pool has an exclamation over it. Seems fairly obvious that we're supposed to get another vision, that just isn't available in the preview. Go back once the game goes live and it will probably happen. It's just a way to make sure you go back to get the visions, otherwise it would be fairly easy to miss them.

Hahaha,
I still have the call of the eye on me even after the the preview ended ...
since i bring my pve toons into pve I had good fun in announcing to my fellow guildies "I have the call of the eye on me!" in Hall of Heroes yesterday. A bit annoying if you want to check the stacks of hexes and conditions, but hey ... nothing to serious here since I identify most of em by sound. Didn't even bother to post a bug ticket...

Looking out for GW:EN,

TRUE....dont forget that a marketing director has been hired recently by Anet.....and this person has to justify the salary he gets every month

I have it as well, but I would have bought GWEN even if I didnt had it LOL

I have a funny feeling the Eye of the North will corrupt most of mankind setting the stage for GW2.

Guys I believe the "call of the north" is simply to tell you that there's another vision awaiting you at the scrying pool, probably I'd assume because you just finished gathering the norn, preview weekend simply blocks us from viewing the next vision, wait and see though, it's simply my 2 cents.

"I have £2000 on me" said SotiCoto.

Could you be Anet marketing director????

If so, Strain & the two others are rather greedy imho.....£2000/month for the good job you do is underpaid lol.

Be patient....you just started few months ago....are you experienced? (I dont mean: did you pass the acid test?)

I just hope you negociated well your work contract & that its written on it?

In France we say :"Promises fly away.....writings remain."

(Yes by my own team lol) Same as pinging "I have Heart of the Norn on me" during PvE missions and then fending off all the whispers asking what the hell it is!

I had it on me, I completed all of the main quests and most of the secondary quests. I went back to the eye and picked up the 3 quests that you can get the blessings with again and it went away.
