Some interesting info, nevertheless about the Halls. Although, I imagine it'll involve some tedious work to make monuments.

The Asuras are still ugly. <_< I saw a mini-pet version of it in the GoA. Makes me wish my Ritualist could wand it to death. So instead---I went to stare at the mini-Kanaxi.

On GW 2, some things I hadn't seen before, from an interview with James Phinney:
- Armor (value?) is no longer profession specific (difference between Light and Heavy armor, though not yet specified, possibly moving speed with new engine)
- Racial Abilities (again, not really specified, however Human Warrior would still be as powerfull as Norn Warrior)
- An important Crafting chapter (when asked about if Salvaging would be the same as in NF), which includes some changes from the NF Salvaging
- Differences in Battle due to remade 3D engine (jumping and moving while in combat)
- Not all 10 current professions return, some will be remade/merged together
- Skills are currently being worked on in a way that no 2 skills do the same thing

Not all 10 classes will be returning? I'm trying not to stress out over that...

From the armor bit---it sounds like they'll have run out of the vast majority of armor ideas post-GWEN. <_< So there won't be a gold sink in that regards, mayhaps. I dunno..

As for the 10 professions, well, I guess they could do that. Like Ritualist + Necro together. <_<

Okay, not GW2, but GW:EN. I'm trying very hard not to read anything involving GW:EN, since what little I've already come across has introduced he kind of spoilers that ruin games for me.
But I'm wondering if any of you who have perused all of the info know the answer to this:

Isn't it set a few hundred years after Prophecies? If that's the case... if we can take our existing characters there (supposedly into the future?)... can we take them back? If it's a time-travel thing... is there a return? Seems silly not to let us take them back to Factions etc. I could be wrong, and it's not a few hundred years in the future.

I do it for science!

In GW:EN, it's concluding what happened after the Titan mess.

Since either Nightfall or Factions is set a few (tens of?) years after Prophesies.
	If you try to fail, but succeed, which have you done?

There are timelines if you're really interested.

The matter really is---

Shiro's reign of terror with the Afflicted is going on during the same time as the Lich's Titan plan.

So I assume Nightfall is after that.

<.< Don't sweat the statistics.

I don't know why I didn't look earlier but the transcript from the Dev chat last week is out and there are a few gems here and there:

Any new Titles we can salivate for?

James says, "The most exciting new titles for GW:EN are related to groups, like the Asura, Norn, and others. You will earn these titles in engaging in quests and other activiites, for example, you can impress the mighty Norn by hunting bosses.

Hm, who would qualify for that?

And then there was this...

can Armour from GW be inherited by GW2 characters?

We will recognize players for having difficult to acquire armor in Guild Wars. However, because of a lot of advancements we are making to character customization and how characters work in GW2...

...we cannot let people directly transfer armor from GW to GW2.

"Two words: Asura Chess."

O.o

Now that I've stolen the thunder here's the link to the rest of the fluff (nah, there's some good stuff still...maybe).

The armor bit isn't surprising. They'd have to basically redesign the old armor for whatever graphic system they are running. People will probably get a title or something.

As for a boss hunting title, it sounds like basically just giving the heavy green farmers a title for their duties at last.

As for Asura Chess---meh, I say. The little evil things don't need to be ugly and chessmasters. They'd be even dorkier than dwarves then.
