Sorry folks, no screenshots here. But I heard chapter 3 is going to be themed around Unicorn. Here's my source.

"We were told - tongue in cheek according to ArenaNet - that Chapter 3 would be Unicorn themed."

You know what the phrase tongue in cheek means right?

The term tongue-in-cheek refers to a style of humour in which things are said only half seriously, or in a subtly mocking way. To say something in a tongue-in-cheek way is to speak with irony.

Well, good to know...way to improve my English

But it's still a good insight into ch3, since I'm sure we won't find unicorn in the Asian themed Factions.

It probably means that they will not be the typical "fairytale Unicorns"

I haven't seen a single unicorn at ArenaNet. Well, except for Bob, at the Halloween party. But you know Bob, a couple of Coronas and he'll dress up as anything.

The unicorn comment was a joke. I guess it flew by a few.

As in, transformers.

That would have been cool.

Transformers were cool. I'm not sure how they'd fit into the whole GW theme though :/

Well, they'd definately have giant stomp as a intrinsic ability.

And they'd have... transform abilities! They could turn into trucks and cars and drive people around to different places quickly!

Or, going with the unicron theme, turn into a giant planet eating planet and eat the planet. :s

Or maybe the whole point is to stop unicron, with the aid of transformers!

I vote she wanted a peak too

Looks good, with 6 months per game know, they can leak vague hints - aka the game is 1/2 done so the art (should of been) finalized or in a working form by then

I stumbled across these concept sketches for c3, I'm 100% sure they're genuine.

I didn't know being Gaile was a job. Can we interview for it. What kind of experience should I have on my resume. Being Gaile would be cool.

Horrible abominations. Things to give the Brothers Grimm nightmares.
Bicorns, Tricorns... Pentacorns anyone? Black horses with five serrated, rending horns, manes of baleful hellfire, and they roam free, having long since thrown off the saddles of their demon masters...

Um yea.

Being Gaile requires only a few skillset:

Endure Pain
Empathy
Cry of Frustration
Illusion of Haste

sometimes even Panic


But the Unicorn idea... I really hope its not true, cuz it can only go bad.

wth??...Gaile takes the time to comment on a silly misunderstanding but is nowhere to be seen in a thread detailing the growing anxiety of pure PvE players over the seeming PvP-centered nature of Factions?? BS...

Some discussions are meant to play itself out. She would only want our opinion, not subjugate the discussion and bring only her thoughts on the issue.

Just because she's not speaking, doesn't mean she's not listening.

are you crazy?

how would you like to put up with and have to be polite to 80% of the very nasty people with strong opinions telling her how to do her job and then blaming her for some decision she has no control over?

i offer GAILE

a fresh baked cookie of choice
her best friend gives an extra hug of sympathy
a day off to relax
a good primal scream among friends that understand
beverage of choice
thanks for a thankless job
etc

why can't she just come out and say that, then?...the mere knowledegement that the devs are at least aware of the nervousness felt among many pure PvE players would be nice...

Do understrand furstration.

She's in PR. There are topics that she is not allowed to say or she get yelled at by her boss (or could get fired).

It's the nature or rep's and for game companies, the amount coming from Anet PR is much much better then most games I know.

I suggest you listen to the voice interview with Jeff (link was on main page) with one of the co-founder of the game, and read the interview / articles he give insight as to why things (and more information) on factions and you get a good grasp at there mind set and a lot of stuff makes sense as to the changes and why (how they feel).

Why isn't that a job?

Because it would be bad for business if she were to go, "yeah, you guys are gonna hate this..."

heh...she would never say that, though...it contains the word "are", which implies the idea that she is saying something tangible will happen...i'm pretty sure that would make her head explode...
