I bet those nipples attract a lot of male customers.

Hmmm, so the people from Cantha don't look that Asian at all ?

Probably depends on the artist, that picture doesn't look like it was done by the same artist as the other guildwars art.
Andy_M
But if thats the same assassin that's plastered all over the official site, the other artist doesn't make her look oriental either ? And from seeing the Assassin models in the pvp weekend she doesn't look like one either. Way too well-built. Looks more greek/latin to me. And the rit looks more arabic/turkish/indian, in my opinion of course.
Then again this is the company that decided to have Devona dual wield in the intro movie, got us all excited and then turned her into a hammer warrioress.

Elite Deadly Arts Attack. Fire pin needles from over exagerated nipples at target foe dealing 25..85 damage and causing Bleed/Deep Wound/Cripple for 60 seconds.
I still can't get over the best part of their poster art.. The assassins in game don't have that hair color or hair style.. Hahah.

you can say it marketing and that they do it for money , but only a lot of inspiration can do what they are doing ...

Have to concur with Andy_M...definitely much more athletic/fitness model looks...the assassian we got to try looked almost fragile and waifish.... I personally would like to see a fit assassian rather than a stick ninja, but that's just me. Definitely nice art for sure...

Your point fails.
Inari
What nipples?
This reminds me of the Tifa arguments from FF7AC when it came...
Anyway, the art does look great, and I have one question/ Since I didnt really got into the new chars in the pvp weekend, do the Assa have a skill to throw all those small daggers from her armor?

I used photoshop to increase the contrast to make the 6 pack more obvious. Im sick of people calling the girl Sins skinny/anorexic/ or as you call them "stick ninja"
Glob of Noobloplasm
WTF is she going to do with all those knives? Seriously.
hot though, i think ill buy it just because it has a ridiculously hot chick on the box. Just like the several other circumstances where I did the same thing. *points to stack of un-used PC games*
Smooth criminals Anet.... Smooooth criminals

Hate to say it but that piccy just proves they ARE stick-ninjas.

The cover art of the assasin will probably a NPC or a Henchman thats why her face/hair are not available to players.

EDIT: That said, if they added this poster in the CE, that surely wouldn't hurt sales.

Cynn is the elemental main caractor.

There were three boxes for the orginal game... One with Eve and Stefan (?), one with Mhenlo and Cynn, and one with Reyna and that mesmer lady (Sebedoh? Althea?).
I gave it a real close look when I was in Syracuse, and they had all three of them. Took me a while, and I had to dig a bit, and people looked at me funny, but I found one of each.
I was surprised to find them all. I had assumed there were three box designs, but I didn't know they were all distributed to the same places. When I got GW there was only the one design, the one withe Eve and Stefan.
Hey ANet, why didn't Canada get different box designs? I saw no box variety anywhere! Well, I can't speak for British Columbia through Manitoba, or the maritimes, but still. Ontario and Quebec only got one stinkin cover design. One! I was outraged.
But then I went and played the game, so I forgave them.

So women who are constatly running, fighting monsters, training to fight, etc aren't supposed to be lean and fit? I don't get the logic here. It seems more like a "What I want" rather than "What is realisitic to the character design". Are they going to have huge muscles? No, they fight with daggers... and I just can't picture an assassin lifting weights...
If you're going to complain, complain about the muscular difference between Men and women warriors... theres no way the women warriors are constantly swinging hammers for hours with those arms.
This thread kinda makes me wonder if people realize that eating some healthy and excercise lead to skinny people. Remember, the people of Cantha don't sit on their butts playing a game for hours, they don't drink hundreds of calories of pop/soda daily, they most likely don't have access to high-sugar food, and probably eat a lot of fresh vegetables and candy canes. Well, assuming they eat anything other than candy canes.. I know my current characters haven't had anything to eat since December.
Candy Canes aside... does anyone else realize that these people are running almost all the time? When they're not running, they're fighting. They stop for a few breaks here and there to get parties... but seriously, why would they be anything other than skinny?
