Oh, I remember someone posted strings with zodiac forms (i.e. Tiger form, Rat form, etc.). I wonder it is a part of some new mini-game.

Oh boy... How do you know that it is a title track?

I assume that corresponds to the month of character creation.

Put them on Jora and they are that size...

The merchant sizes usually correspond to the size of the merchant and Norn size scales up the weapons, just like putting a huge weapon on a small female monk will scale it down

No idea, just looked interesting.

I'm gonna go with "because it says '(Something something) Title Track' just like all the other title tracks in the .dat file" for $500 Alex. I'll hint that it might have to do with something else that was new.

Nope, just the strings to account for 3rd birthday presents. Nothing exciting, just was new.

*Adding my disclaimer: This is just what was new in the .DAT file -- for all I know, the new title track is just Anet playing a joke on DAT surfers. Until we see it in-game, treat it like a possibly cool new thing.

That under construction thing is what was used for skill icons when your computer wouldn't load them properly.. or something like that.

My dat shrunk, if anything, after today's patch. I'm down to 3.63 GB (3.64 previously). Don't know what's up; I couldn't find any evidence of the new title track either.
For some reason, this was next to the Dread Mask inventory icon. It looks very familiar, probably something from EotN but I can't place it:

[edit] In fact, all text mentioning the Marketplace seems to be chopped out of my dat, except for the outpost description.

Ok, I'm new to dat browsing, so I don't have all the fancier programs some of you guys are using. But watching this thread made me decide to go spelunking to see what I could find. What I came up with was a series of skills about throwing torches at zombies, and what appears to be raising zombies.

I'd rather he not. Because I am almost certain if we don't the title that he spoils then there will be a huge QQ fest and lots of bitching at Anet because they didn't add it. And quite frankly I am getting sick of all the whining.

Well, him saying there is a new title and NOT posting it doesn't make everyone happy right?:P

But this is if he is telling the truth :O

he didn't lie about the mini polar bear, and the xunlai market place WAS in there before the last update.

!!Hmmmm!! I don't know if "Courage" and "Wisdom" has any connection to the HoM, but the first one there reads: "Your sense of Valor allows you to attack "X" faster."

Do you think they would put a GW2 HoM reward in the dat this early??

Then the last one reads "You are the preferred target of your enemies" and I thought meh, why include that message. But immediately after that string it begins: "for X seconds...". As if it's a new skill to directly influence control of aggro?

Just some random guessing...

I never said he was lying about that as i've seen proof, all i ask is for a screenshot or something of the file or whatever in the .dat

ah sorry my bad.

and as for the "wammo wish" lol. it sounds like heart of the norn, stout hearted, etc kinds of things. perhaps the new title is connected to filling the HoM? complete guess of course.

Are you sure that's good Abaddon? Although I think it may really be. All the other Gods of Tyria are depicted as being humanlike, I have always questioned why Abaddon looks like a big ugly monster thing. Some say that we don't know the true appearance of the Gods and the murals are just our idea of what they resemble. Perhaps Abaddon really IS a big ugly monster thing, and during his days as a God - his days of open appearance, he wore a mask to appear more human. Six eyes and everything. LET'S SPECULATE!

In the Prophecies manual, isn't the second shown during the tale of Saul D'Alessio and the Mursaat? In which case, aren't those the Mursaat? They sure look like them. They're huge, but maybe that's just for dramatization in the artwork.

Strange. those party consumables (sparklers,etc) have been about for a long time, I wonder why this title took so long (if ever) to appear.

Actually, not a bug, unless it's GWDatBrowser itself messing up. I diffed the text files that the marketplace stuff was in, and they weren't there. "Odd," I thought, so I went ahead through GWDatBrowser normally. From there, the references to the marketplace were completely gone.

Party Animal? Hmm. Shouldn't have trashed the fireworks from last year

Are they loading screens for anything? That's what I was getting at.

Also, looking at the second one further, I think it looks a little like a Margonite. Maybe that's Jadoth before and after he became a Margonite.

I believe that's the "picture" part of one of the pages of the BMP book for Saul's mission. I recognized it right away, and while I don't remember the other image, I'd guess (from the similar design and the Charr) that it's from Gwen's.
