If you pause at 1:36 you can see a new type of minion dead on the ground! You also see this minion dying at 1:58. Also, at 1:48 you see them battle the Kirin, I guess it isn't a new pet. Anyways, thanks so much, this is totally awesome!

The same way people know that a 1 eyed humoid is a cyclopse, a horse with 1 horn on it's head is a unicorn and a horse with wings is called a pegasus, a snake eating its own tail is called oroburous.

wow could not stop from going back and forth and pausing the video.

The Kirin has been posted a few times in the forums. (@ gurus it's at the factions gallery - one of the concept art provided by guildwars.com)

Here's what I enjoyed seeing.

-monk armor, (hope that was a player not a hench) + the new monk arms tattoo? (in one of the scenes seconds after kirin fight?, where you need to pause to see it to see it)

-that warrior summoning some oriental giant ghostly hero. correction:it didnt annihilate the mob, it looked more like a "buff" or "boost" for player or party.

-new monsters looked great. big, alien.vs.pred-like.

-swords - I think one of them was the contest winner one but modified ( of course I could be wrong)

-just double-wow.
-gonna watch it a few more times and examine the new stuff.

/g'day.

at a guess, i'ld say that thing that the warrior summons at the end is an elite that was mentioned in a review that provides the team massive protection as long as the warrior himself doesn't move.

Hot damn. Great music. And we're also shown why Eles shouldn't be on the front lines.

The guy who posted on gameamp said it was from the Japanese sight, but no matter, it's kickass anyway.

anet did say the contest winner concepts wouldnt necessarily be used exactly and could just be the base that is used.

/im gonna look at it again.

I believe the huge pot is where you hold the rit spirit. ive seen it in GWF pvp event.

oy.x2posted.
edited:I think theres a clearer look of that monster on the floor later on in the vid.
So, flesh golem pets will not look similar to the flesh golems in fire islands? (they looked more like flesh trolls.hehe.)
Unless those arent flesh golems and it's another type of necro creature summoning that we just havent read about or mentioned.

/would be cool.

Not sure at all, but given the entry and the artistic freedom between the concept and the final, I'd be willing to say it "might" be the same

I would really like some more options for my MM. He is just begging for a minion that could cast or one that deals out as much damage to those Aataxes as he takes from them. Thats it! Maybe a minion whose strength is based off what you summoned it from. It would automatically target the strongest corpse. And there could be another skill that raises minion casters from dead casters that works the same way.

I would also say that if you compare ch.1 and these ch.2 monsters.

ch.1 was light and "cutesey" (or termed as "soft"/toony looking)

with ch.2 monsters (from the vid) its more dark and slightly a lvl of "disturbed" in its design of creatures. (I like it. )

/IMO.

/SILENT HILL FTW!

So far these chaper 2 monsters are kind of freaky.

I mean, we had FURRIES in chapter 1 XD

*turn ele into smite ele*

Look at those masses of undead looking things @_@

From the look of the "summon ghostly hero" thing, I hope that most skills in chapter will have large visual effect like it. Been dying to see those sort of effects.

I had always enjoy making mobs feel "resident & evil-ed" with my mass summoning of the minions, I am sure there will be more evilness I can do soon =D

A brilliant trailer.

The reflections on the Jade Sea and the shear variety of new monsters was astounding to say the least.. did anyone else notice that crazy fractal turtle around 1:22? my guess is that it's either unfinished or some type of boss..

a lot of the fighting seems to be inside the city mentioned in Gamespot's article...

I noticed that too and thought it was the only bad thing about the entire trailer. It looks so pretty!!! Hopefully that boss was unfinished although I'm surprised ANet let a bug into a trailer. All in all, I'm very excited *claps hands*

Great. Enjoyed it all from the non-panoramic views (wish they were), to the aliens (the ones the warrior with the speculated sword resemble flood from Halo slightly...). Well, we thought the seers wanted the mursaat gone so they could move in...looks like they're actually calling their cousins in to wipe us out! Oh noes!

ehh little disappointed myself, not a fan of the over-gore-horror stuff
whats up with the one mob, huge stitched up balls of flesh on him?
another with bumps, a humanoid with a stomach maw, and another mob looking like a devourer? bleah. I like the '8 handed' mob we've seen screenshots of, the scenery and some of it there, but really I wasn't looking for a silent hill/resident evil/alienvspredator meets GW.

just gut reaction, not entirely negative here, but was hoping for a little more original thought and intruiging mobs then seen that/killed that in a fps/horror video game. as for having 'fuzzy' enemies before, I didn't find the forgotten, and particularly the mursaat and jade that way. dunno about you but I had respect for the mursaat the first time they levelled me w/o being infused

oh well I just hope we get some new sounds for mobs and effects too - anyone else almost burnt out on the same sounds across video games? I hope they put some time into it, I might even get into killing some of those mobs if they have some personality and their own sounds around them rather than continuing to use the same set of stuff. I just didn't really get into the lumpy mobs jumping up and down there, yet another bumpy mob, and oh look yeah, the token humanoid with jaws in its tummy.

on a side note right off the bat I guess we'll have assassin mobs and ritualist mobs to contend with as well as leveraging the new skills, wonder if they'll do any crossclass mobs too - guess we'll see

cheers
