From LoginScreen:
I'm going to assume that the Eye of the North background will forever be the background so long as Guild Wars shall live... if no new campaigns are going to come out for GW1, that is. With GW2 coming out whenever it does, there wont be any new campaigns for GW1, so is it to say I'll be stuck looking at the same background of EotN for a login screen forever?
Is this really the case?

As far as we know - Yes.
They may change it when GW2 is close to release to act as a form of advertising for the new game.

Most likely, which sucks. I wish we could change it back to the Factions one. I was able to get that screen along with the original title music, it was incredibly fitting since the Factions screen doesn't look very "Canthan-ish."

Does it really matter? Your in the login screen for couple seconds...does it affect your gameplay?

Anyway, i really hope they can modify the factions login screen or prophecies one to make it so we can have it.

I really wish they'd fix up the old backgrounds and release an option to pick whichever we want.

They could always rotate it every 4 months of the year from Proph. to EoTN.You will get Proph.Fact.NF and EoTN.

What grinds my gears the most is that the people complaining always want the previous version. Ie, when Factions came out, its login blew and people wanted Phrophecies again. When NF came out, its login screen blew and people wanted Factions again, etc. Make up your minds people.

Who cares about the login screen.
There are so many actual bugs, and problems with this game and people want them to spend time on a login screen
It just makes me laugh some times.

I think you mean every 3 xDI want the old prophecies one back, but I'd settle for Factions :P
DarkFlame
They could change the login screen tomorrow for all we know. Nothing keeping Anet from doing that(aside from having to write code for GW2), only a few technical reasons keeping them from reverting to the old ones.
Btw, this is what, the fourth/fifth topic on login screens in the last few days? Wonders why the sudden interest.

The old prophecies one was pretty sweet. Always did like that one, would like to see it come back tbh...
But yes, as far as I have seen, for each new campaign the login screen changes. Ta da!

It's not that big of a deal in all honesty, but I really do miss the factions login screen, it felt really epic, had the classic music and wasn't too specific to any 1 campaign/region. That and my characters weren't sittin around freezin their arses off in that one.

I think they should implement that for a weekend, like a weekend event!, and see how many people rage and QQ about it. Perhaps then everyone would be happy with the log in screen they have now.
Croco Clouds
I wanna change back to faction background, the music was so soothing
ShadowStorm
It'd be cool if we could get to choose the login screen from the f11 options menu. It'd also be cool if we could choose music to go with it. But I guess that sort of thing belongs in it's own thread in the Sanitarium.
Personally, I'd choose the Campfire login with the music from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within main menu music. And if I could mod the login screen to move around a little like the menu background from PoP:WW, that'd be ideal as well. Just for laughs and coolness factor.

I have to say, out of all the login screens to be stuck with forever I would prefer GW:EN's. That being said however, I do get nostalgic for the Factions and Nightfall screens. And I want to see the Prophecies login screen in some way other than Googled pictures for once.

I wouldn't be suprised if there was one more expansion for GW1 along the lines of EotN...almost certainly connecting GW1 and GW2 (more so than EotN)
I understand that their main focus is on GW2, however, depening on how well the GW2 programming is going, they might throw us a bone. It's still an awfully long time until GW2 and they don't want to lose their player-base before the new game comes out.
This would explain their "nothing is planned" comments. They don't want to commit to an expansion, but I bet they have one in the back of their minds.

Most likely, if login screen changes, it will be when GW2 is released in order to advertise for it.

I switch between characters for storage and gameplay purposes all the time, and the opening notes of both NF and GWEN tunes got old in about a week each. Fortunately, I still have the fan-made Factions login screensaver, which sates my need for soothing GW music and imagery
creelie
I . . . I can't remember the Factions login screen.
Or the post-campfire Prophecies login screen.
This is kind of disturbing!

As far as the movie goes even if the music and imagery at the beginning of Ace Ventura was moody, gray and depressing, the movie itself would have been the same with the same outcome. Like you said its only "the beginning", the "content" or "important" part would remain the same.
Oh well enough about this on to bigger and better things.
