Article on Guild Wars 2, includes some concept art and screenshots on bottom of the page.

Snipet:

Quote:

You are wandering through the countryside and you see a dragon flying overhead. You and a group try to stave off the dragon. If you are successful the nearby town gives you a treasure.

But if you don't drive off the dragon, the bridge will be destroyed. This will lead to a team of carpenters gathering at the bridge to try to fix it and then you will have to protect them from bandits.

[not sure if these informations are already included on the other thread, there were 88 pages and I couldn't get through all of them, if it is, compile or delete or whatever...]

EDIT: Diablo, I'm going to hi-jack your thread here but I'm guessing these are part of almost "press release" packets going out to various sites since it indicates they had a phone interview with Jeff Strain on that.

Damn... those are fine. The Charr painting is just amazing. Arena.net has some of the best concept art I've seen from the games industry in general.

Beaaautiful ^_^

Makes me want to pursue my dream of becoming a concept artist even more!

Thanks for the inspiring works, anet =D

MMSDome · Mar 26, 2007, 10:43 PM // 22:43

good looking but the girl is a little to manly for my taste

*Alexiel* · Mar 26, 2007, 10:46 PM // 22:46

XD

I love her hair though!

I hope the characters in gw2 will be able to have long pretty hair like that! =o

The Ernada · Mar 26, 2007, 10:47 PM // 22:47

Well, to swing that giant sword of hers, she'd have to be manly. I always found it was ridiculous that a little stick of a girl could swing those 50 pound weapons...

Terra Xin · Mar 26, 2007, 10:54 PM // 22:54

Don/t tell me that bear is using Beastial Mauling :S. J/K

wow, those dungeon maps look pretty hot, nicely detailed.

Diablo™ · Mar 26, 2007, 10:58 PM // 22:58

There's only one thing I have to ask Anet: Are those Tina Turner's nipple rings?

Series · Mar 26, 2007, 11:30 PM // 23:30

Hall of Monuments... hmm where did I see this before...

A "ha" to those who said the Inquirer article "can't be real". :-P

Lyonette · Mar 26, 2007, 11:37 PM // 23:37

Yeah, I'd love to know The Inquirer's sauce... I honestly thought it was a hoax, but oh well LOL

I really hope they don't change the look of the Charr too much...

Other than that, GW:EN looks like its goona be grand!

Gaile Gray · Mar 26, 2007, 11:43 PM // 23:43

See? Good things come to those who wait.

Pssst. There's... more out there, guys. But you didn't hear it from me!

Sir Skullcrasher · Mar 26, 2007, 11:46 PM // 23:46

The concept arts looked nice, can't wait till the game is actually released.

KamikazeChicken · Mar 27, 2007, 12:03 AM // 00:03

You do mean GWEN, not GW2?

*Goes on a mission to find them* XD

For all the FFVII fans:

That "manly girl" is actually Cloud! Remember, he's a cross-dresser! Notice the six-pack and the obvious Buster Sword he's wielding. IT'S CLOUD I TELL YOU!

But more seriously: Those are beautiful, as is all the concept work for Guild Wars. Will Eye of the North follow the tradition and use those as loading screens? If so, that will be amazing.

Mordakai · Mar 27, 2007, 12:19 AM // 00:19

Am I the only one who finds the Female Norn pic just amazing?

I know it's supposed to be Norse and all, but it has Irish overtones as well (the tatoos especially).

Oh, and the girl is fine. Nothing wrong with a girl who has muscles, especially if she's so... titillating.

Sir Skullcrasher · Mar 27, 2007, 12:21 AM // 00:21

Those charrs looked mighty tasty!!

[M]agna_[C]arta · Mar 27, 2007, 12:21 AM // 00:21

OMG, OMG, OMG, Why did you show those Artwork^^?!
You made me more impatient with GW2.
I really love the Norn Pic ^^.
It's like I am having a Sugar Rush^^!
The Female Norn is nice only prob is her Chest Armor = P.
I smell 2 handed swords^^.
BTW, Gaile for GW2 can you look in the CC thread some Forumers have amazing Ideas for the Upcoming Classes, And will the other Races have different professions each^^.
Like the Humans will have The Core profs.
And Norns will have thier own profs^^.
Or is it same like the others^^.
And Gaile thanks for the info. I'll tell no one it was you who told us^^.
