IGN was walked through the game demo, with some help by A-net. Here is the article.

The Article

ARMOUR SAURUS! OH god, I can't wait. That alone is worth the cost of the expansion

Nice preview. Can't wait to do all the minigames, and especially to collect all 18 polymok pieces.

Looting Corpses? does that mean a change in how drops work in gwen?

Not to mention WOODEN DOOR.

Sweet, and sweet.

ok how bout this "Summon a Dolyak Rider" 25 energy 5 cast time 200 sec recharge for 200 sec u can ride a Dolyak u move 75% slower and cannot be knockdown u can only fire at range ur armor increases withh 20 as a Quote on the " Ice Imp Summon " that would be cool

Wow, the guy that wrote this article either is completely ignorant to his horrid GW-related spelling errors or he just doesn't care.

So will Arenanet be releasing these cheat command line inputs? Clearly we also need a monk with 100 energy, 10 energy regen and a 999-damage skill to complete this game

It seems Oola > Shiro + Lich combined.

finally answers my question of, At what point of GWEN can we access HoM...@start! /woo. (unless it changes from preview to release)

Im gonna fiddle with this b4 I do anything else. lol

did anyone else see the part about the "summoning an ice imp"

", and we could summon an ice imp if we wished, which certainly did"

i think that is sweet
What is the RED Asura staff?

MirandaKali · Aug 08, 2007, 02:22 PM // 14:22

Sweet crispy walnuts.
Yes, that does seem to be Gwen. Not only with a mesmer wand, but with a red iris flower as a focus.
This is gonna be good.

Mordakai · Aug 08, 2007, 02:47 PM // 14:47

I think I'll be skipping the Dwarven boxing game... "Get up! Get up!" [furiously tapping keyboard...]

As for "looting bodies" pretty sure it's the same drop system. No reason to make us click on a corpse to find stuff. Drops are, essentially, "looting bodies."

And nice find on the flower... gives me hope. Maybe the Flute will be useful, too.

Yes, 'bout time Eles can summon stuff. Yeah!

I've got a bad feeling the RED Asura staff is a weapon that can be entered into your Hall of Monuments.

New color + that other video that said we can only store GWEN weapons in HoM = bad feeling.

Silly Warrior · Aug 08, 2007, 04:14 PM // 16:14

Sounds cool!

Yes and no... it also seems like an expanded content idea... side-things to do in game that are completely off the 'beaten path' and can be accomplished at any time. As much as I would love to put my Platinum Longbow (sigh... I love that thing...) in the HoM I can see the fun in trying to find these "red" weapons... maybe even equip all the new heroes with one? I got the impression looking at the video that there might be one weapon per class to find and put in the HoM, but only time will tell.

Summon Ice Imp... nice.

So... we can get polymock pieces as drops? Sweet! I wonder if there will be rare pieces and the like. Think I heard that somewhere... I wonder what the polymock market will look like, and if we'll need to have them in inventory to play?

I caught that too.

Also thought this was interesting:

Conjure frost smacked foes with cold damage, and we could summon an ice imp if we wished, which certainly did.
