Speculation abounds! Supposed 'leaked pics' of alpha test.

Got it off GameFAQs, who probably got it off gwonline.net. Consensus seems to be that it's faked, but it looks fairly well done to me. Heard of other supposed 'leaked' screen shots, but I only saw these three.
Searched the forums, didn't turn up anything. Sorry if it has been posted.

This is photoshop 0.0
The whips dont seem to be in place there it looks too good to be there.
and the skills hmmm dunno about that it would be cool though.

I see the little loading icon on the upper right corner. Why would they have to load something if it's an alpha build?
Also, how come the dwarves in the background have a green aura around them? I don't see a necro anywhere..
Target priority seems a little cumbersome to use in a window like that. Whips would be cool though, even though 16-30 damage seems like a lot to me, especially if you can hit several opponents.

isnt Snare far too overpowered?
One2theHead
What kind of material would a whip be made out of to do 30dmg lol. Since when did a whip do more dmg than a sword..arrow..etc. Even the wording on the pics dont sound right I believe its a fake also. Whats next Bullwhip of Charslaying? Upgrades include "Rubber grip of percision" +5% landing of a critical hit
Or something flashy like a "Lighting Bullwhip"

HAHA they are caught in the act Thirtypercent is absolutely right.

Whips as an Beastmastery linked skill?
Maybe they should make more Beastmastery skills instead of a Weaponmastery type skills. :P

Fake. Can tell by the writing use, how it is blurry. And also.. if it is for Chapter 2, why are they outside of granite citadel?
unamed player
Looks fake. The fonts dont appear to be correct and the pictures are blah at best. Also the snare skill sounds a lot like scorpions attack from mortal kombat. I say its a fake!
Mario 64 Master
(Chance: 5% )

As soon as I saw Snare I knew it was fake. ANet may make some impopular decisions, but they're not stupid as far as balance goes. Snare could make a person unable to use skills pretty much indefinitely.

Fake fake fake fake fake
But kudos to whoever spent the time to make it reasonably believable.

Wow. What a waste of time. It looks very real though :P

Fake for sure
- font kerning is incorrect
- note where the Ivory Thrasher says "Causes Bleeding (chance 5% )" - you left an extra space between the "%" and the ")" - other GW items don't have this
nice try, though

I didn't make this, just to tell you. Found it on GameFAQs, where apparently it has been spotted on GWonline and HoH

ALPHA TEST. Meaning they won't be 'balanced' or 'perfect'.
Still, probably fake.

I hope it is not a fake. I would like to see whip attacks in the next Chapter. However i dont think it should be linked to Beastmastery. That attribute has enough problems as is. Hopefully it is for a new class!
Network
That looks really fake. Even a baby could spot that. The text is all wrong, numbers of the monsters dmg is lighter, text my solid.
Overnite
Whip would be fun, along with a Giant Metal Phallus. Anet is getting better and better ideas.
Pevil Lihatuh
lol i think its fake, however IF it was real, it looks like it would be a GREAT addition
Finch
lol those screens are pretty funny. 5 LASHES FOR YOU STONE SUMMIT!
jules
Yeah snare looks like an uber version of blackout, too good for an elite even.
Mysterial
Gaile and the frog seemed pretty clear that they didn't think a whip was an appropriate Beast Mastery weapon. Also, Arenanet usually has pretty good English grammar, and those "descriptions" do not.
unienaule
Yeah, the only "speculation" here is how much time was wasted on this crap. Yet another lesson in "GW people will believe anything."
Markaedw
The first picture the ranger is casting an elemental spell, probaly javelin, and the second she about to cast troll ungent. It has been a while since I used my ranger as a caster, so I'm not positive on the spell. Any ranger can tell it is a fake.
Bale_Shadowscar
Its not the Guild Wars font/size either (the text) and the whips in the screenshots look a bit dodgy. They just look like bits of Rope. I say fake, although it must have taken a while to do.
Xue Yi Liang
It's interesting to see a bullwhip that does more basic damage than any sword, axe or bow. I don't recall anyone ever getting beheaded or dying from a single lash of a whip ... lol
Dzan
That that Snare skill looks way too good, as others have said. 6 Snare rangers and 2 monks FTW.
Xue Yi Liang
can you please post the link to GameFAQs and/or GWonline.net where you found these? I don't see them posted anywere else other than here.

Who said everything was balanced in Alpha or beta (or even release)? If you played in the WPE then you would know that some skill descriptions have spelling and grammatical error. It is a fake but i hope otherwise. However i would rather see a weapon such as this whip instead of a ghey one like this:
ugh!
ugh!

I appreciate your comment but my statement about the damage dealt has nothing to do with my belief that it's fake. It's just a separate observation.
If you want to know why I believe it's a fake then look at my other posts.
- besides, if you're going to excuse all inconsistencies due to it being a supposed alpha then I could photoshop something that has any old crappy icon using Courier font and bad grammar claiming also that it's just an alpha .... Tell you what ... if I'm wrong I'll look you up in the game and give you 1 gold piece ... just don't spend it all in one place, OK?

A "Beastmaster Ranger"? I doubt they are going to add new content or skills to the existing skill pools anyway.
I don't see how anyone could ever think that this is real. The OP must have made this himself >.>

I sit on the fence. I will believe it when i see Anet confirm it or see it myself in C2.

good point.
Now the second screenshot won't load - I think he's tweaking it more with Photoshop before he posts it again lol.
Lexar's, comment about the load icon is a good one ...

Looks like they've been faked by someone who's got:
A> Photoshop
B> A fetish for sadism and masochism
Seriously look at Snare...
A skill that hits from maybe shortbow range, pulls them to melee range and blacks out their skill bar. I'd be nice if it wasn't complete b/s....

Wow. Those skill descriptions are really stupid. "First pass adds 12 damage. Second pass adds 9 damage. Wielding two whips will strike 4 times." I wonder how they came up with that one.
Why would it deal more damage to enemies that are farther away? A whip is a meele weapon, not a ranged weapon. The closer you would be to the target, the more damage it would take according to common logic; am I mistaken?
