Is that a training center on your guildhall?? If so that is such a cool idea!

Def. a training yard. Not sure if that is a new guild hall though. Possibly the new capital of the Battle Isles? I duno.
And what do people think about picture 2? from left to right:riualist, ritualist, assassin/new ranger armour, and i cans see the last. Focus looks like ritualist though.

Hmm, is it me or is there an anorexic warrior with a platemail helment in that second screenshot? Anywho, looks quite exciting. I find it sort of odd how this game is shifting into an ''oriental'' style. Things such as the architecture, armor, names, etc. The Koreans are taking over, everyone TO ARMS!!! TO ARMS!!!

Im pretty sure thats a helm for a ritualist. Its kinda weird how it covers the eyes, but i like it. The armour in photo 2 on the far left is very very cool...looks necro-y

what?

the one on the far left is definatly a necrom, next i would say is an Assasin since he seems to be in the middle of a slashing/stab motion. then ranger, then somethin with wierd armor but the focus is definatly blood necro and wand.

I love the training yard. Can't wait to make a ritualist either. though I do hope there is one that is blindfolded normally like the damned clerics. Love the waterfall grotto type place in the picture, reminds me of the catacombs which is by far my favorite area of the game.


Also as has been stated many many many times. Only Factions is eastern themed the whole game is NOT being altered to match the new style. Cantha is a separate culture on another continent

I always love looking at the screenshots of Guild Wars...
The artwork and graphics are unbelievable; simply amazing

I /applaud A-Net and NC-Soft.

The pictures themselves are nice. The dummies in the sixth pic remind me of the Hercules's training montage in the Disney movie.

One thing I have noticed about the terrain is that it's always shifted to one side. Is that to show dynamic contrast to the characters?

I guess so.

Happy Goggling at the pics

Here's a question...since we can hide our helms..wont that take away from the whole blindfolded thing? Or is there something on the face too like the necro scar pattern and what not?

Splendid. It looks Fantastic. That Necro armour in picture 2 looks especially cool. I assume its a Necro anyway. Can't wait.

I wouldnt say its definately a necro. The item certainly isnt anything current, or even similar to anything the necro has, which is what lead me to think ritualist staff. Yes the charactor looks quite necro-y, and 2bh I hope it is so I can get my hands on that armour Plus, the one on the right looks like a monk (facially) but the focus looks necro. Again, something that made me think ritualist, as from what i hear rit will be a mix of things. I also didnt think they would publish screens of the core profs just yet. new armour isnt as big a thing as new professions.

Thats excellent. I have long been an advocate of characters in this sort of game wearing shorts, and now we have a fellow short-wearer to join those who wear Gladioli armour. Bravo !

Loving the looks of the new armor nice that everyone seens to be joining the lace wearing fraternity.

I ve got characters pegged down to Necro - ritualist - ranger - monk. in the fighting screeny

This is where 100k is not enough to re outfit two accoutns worth of characters!!


my boyfriend has long stated that i see GW as an online extension of my wardrobe i now fear this may be true.

Cant wait for the new chapter and i hope and pray that they are Training halls in that pic!! and that my warrior guild hall will still be in fashion!

2:how much is the armor pictured gonna be 1.5,15k, cantha version of fissure armor?


all in all though the armor looks really good.
