Default The catacombs re-open?
I was looking at the new dungeon screen in gwen and noticed they look a LOT like the catacombs in green ascalon. Could be a coinsedence, but look for yourself:
New GWEN dungeons

Catacombs in Pre-searing

New GWEN dungeon

Coinsedence or not?

I'm not really seeing the resemblance. Unless you just mean they're made of stone and have pillars/buttresses.....

Visit the catacombs and then check the screens again

The first picture looks more like Echovald Forest to me. But to be honest, what variety is there in catacombs anyway?

That's what I was thinking too. Like one of those Kurzick cathedrals.

Uhh, a dungeon is a dungeon, they'll all look alike eventually. I don't find very much resemblance either though.

The catacombs were my favourite area in Pre-Sear. I especially liked the underground waterfalls and that room with all the candles. I always wondered where the catacombs 'went' in Post-Sear.

I would have thought that - despite everything that happened above ground - the catacombs would have survived more or less intact and unchanged. They're only full of undead and spiders anyway.

For while I thought that their disappearance would be due to the entrance in Sardelac being blocked off....but there were two other entrances too. So where are my catacombs??

Bring back the catacombs A-Net.

Well you provided a screen of the catacombs and two screens of the dungeons, they don't look alike to me. If you're saying a different part of the catacombs looks like the dungeons, then maybe you should've posted a screen of that instead.

The pre searing catacombs were tough but the game was slower.

I thought that it had already been confirmed that the Catacombs would be re-opened in GW:EN.

Yes, it has, and I am still wondering why the first 10 posters of this thread don't know.

What do you mean by "re-opened"? Were they ever opened at one time or another?

Wow... I gave these screenshots a passing glance when they were first released, but upon looking at them again I realize something...

My Necro girl, Ukiyo, is never going to see the light of day ever again.

Looks a lot like Arborstone if you ask me.
