Although I am doubtful, is there any update to the whole Marketplace thing, or is it utterly destroyed now.

My hope, I is not have it .

Kinda hard to tell because they "corrected" a ton of capitilization errors in the strings. Ex:
""While in the area, foe's Enchantments are shattered every 10 seconds. For each Enchantment"

changed to

"While in the area, foe's enchantments are shattered every 10 seconds. For each enchantment..."

Looking at the texture data now...

Those are warning labels
1st: 공포(恐怖) fear;dread;terror;fright;scare;horror;panic
2nd: 폭력(暴力) violence;brute force
3rd: 12세 = 12 years old, 이용 = use, 가 = possible
(So it's suitable for 12 years and older.)
In Korea they usually have 12, 15, 18세 이용가 and 전체이용가 (전체 = all, so it's suitable for all ages).

w00t!
Design-a-Weapon winners are in!
And there's some real hotness there.

a teaser:

(this was a honorable mention, original piece here: http://www.guildwars.com/events/cont...pon07/hm-i.php)


Now I predict the number of people getting into this to double at least

it's this: http://www.guildwars.com/events/cont...7/winner11.php

high quality work there, just like the BMP weapons they used double (or even better) the resolution than for all previous GW campagins.
Some of them are made of multiple layers, so posting one shows completely nothing.
This scythe http://www.guildwars.com/events/cont...07/winner6.php
is made from 6 layers of textures/bumpmaps/effects, it looks very promising.

There are quite some of the winners still missing, Gaile said yesterday they're working on their quality, so I think the unfinished ones aren't in gw.dat yet.

I found the scythe, and can confirm the other design-a-weapon stuff too.
Haven't looked for any text changes yet.

Can anyone post what type of files and/or the sizes of the new design-a-weapon skins are? Good find.

Sweeet! I like what they did with it! I was wondering if they were gonna change the runes to an in-game language or not. Hope they made the stone look ok..

Dirty, dirty man. But now I can't even look at that thing without seeing IT.

Yes, I have a version that does exactly this. The problem is that they fixed a bunch of grammar/capitalization things at the same time (Changing Enchantment to enchantment and Condition to condition) so there's a lot of "changed" text to wade through... I guess I could convert it all to lowercase and compare -- hmmm...

I took one screeny then, cause I feel it was a beautiful image:


By the way... why don you share some of the spanish text that you dont understand but found here?. You cant but someone surely can (great neon arrow glowing above Ragnagard) and can translate it to eng so we know if its about Xunlai Market too or... about what.

Same with the german sentences.

Wow....I'm never going to be able to look at that shield again.

*must...not...smack Numa!* Keep such thoughts like about the shield in your own brain! You're trying to taint my miiiind! *giggles*

As for that dragon image by fusa, I never noticed the elements in it until now seeing it at a better angle. The earth, fire, wind, water. It also seems there is another picture of a dragon across the fire section of the image, so I guess that's Star Ancient Koosen.

FYI, there are four new textures that look like "Celestial Animal" skins in the dat file after the update, too.

Three are somewhat obviously:
Snake (Year of the snake)


Wolf (Year of the dog?)


Dolyakk (Year of the ox?)


But here's a fourth one I can't figure out (current guess: year of the monkey?):


EDIT: Also, I upped the brightness & contrast because the originals were a lot harder to see.

I suppose that last pic would have to be a monkey. Wierd toed monkey with those long talon like things, but the chest looks like a gorilla even if the head doesn't look much like it to me yet, but there isn't any other chinese zodiac other than a monkey that I think that thing might be.

Looks more like a Mandragor to me, possibly new Celestial minis?

Aha, I got it. One of these guys:
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Simian

Definitely a monkey, then.

I'm not speculating as to what these are for, just pointing out that there are some new textures that look "Celestial." They've said we only get two new minis, and one is going to be the rat. Clearly this must be for something else, then.

Wow, they did a great job so far inputting those designs. That sword is oh so gorgeous.

And no, the first shield does not like like vagina. Even with different colors. You have a stretched imagination.

I think Stouda just nailed it, they're even that color..
So maybe new accomplishments are going in the HoM?

I dunno.. He said he upped the brightness & contrast.. that means the original images were dim (exactly what you'd do for a texture that used an additive blending effect to make something look like the Celstials) plus, what would the Monkey, Snake, & Yak be for in the HoM?

Maybe more Celstials are going to show up at the party?

Wolf could be from the monument, however:

- The originals are quite a bit darker (the background color is originally solid black).
- All four of these were right next to each other in the dat file
- They are newly added.

I think they fit better as celestial animals, but I suppose we'll know in a few days either way.

Wolf in the HoM is for a charmable pet. I can't picture Anet letting us charm Yaks. If they did then wow...just wow. :P

Curious thing....

Someone got:



And other person got:



Those are unused images... as I know but i must not read someone's answer.

No answer for what they are for but...... ey! let ragna look with a zoomed image:



There are some... texts here!.


And if we look carefully......


They matched!.... looks odd.
And for the first text it matched 100% but a line + 1 "character".
The other text matched 100% but 1 "character" + 1 line

This is getting weird...
