If this is a SS of Heaven's Gate the why are you not on the beach like the town is?

He is at Thunderhead Keep. Monks on Strike gave it away.

I thought the same thing you did tom.

Lol i love this. good joke, especially all the people who couldnt realize its a joke -.-

it all started when we were in Granite Citadel icy dragon sword farming. we met a lvl 7 guy who thought he was all leet. we told him that we were going to heavens gate to get armor, then he told us that he already had the armor from there and that he works at ebay. we told anet about this story, and they must've decided to make the town

We? You mean me and five other guildies; but yeah, there was this lvl 7 E/Mo who was looking for a run to Grotto so we took him along to take the 'shortcut' through Mineral Springs and then to "Heaven's Gate" and then on to Grotto; it was not as Tom states for a IDS farming run. When we told him about Heaven's Gate and the armor there he said "Yeah, I know about that place. I have all that stuff, because I work at ebay they think I'm 20 but I'm really 14.... LOL." We ended up running through some of Mineral Springs and got bored of him constantly dying and only putting mending on everyone.

So as a result of that the "Heaven's Gate" joke has persisted in our guild in some form or another.

Now fast-forward to today and we've got a bunch of PvE'ers joining our guild and Tom brings up the idea of "Heaven's Gate" and they all ask where it is and what it is. So I decided to just make a 'new' town on the map, by basically using PS to clone and blend, post it on our Forum and have it as an inside joke for our Guild. But Savio got it right, however what I find funny is that people were saying that it was a pretty good PS job. Considering it took about ten minutes or so to make.

You rode the glory train long enough Tom

. I thought people would've figured out you couldn'tve made that just by looking at your avatar.

you know we all realize this is a joke now. but it would be interesting to have an area in tyria that is Exclusive to people that have BOTH games. able to access it with a quest from factions and have a exclusive map point in tyria... interesting....

Aki Soyokaze · Apr 11, 2006, 06:39 AM // 06:39

Heh, yeah I was thinking that it'd be fun to have an exclusive area just for people who own both games. It might even provide more incentive for people to buy Factions.

Lol, thats jokes. Now we need this skill to counter it:

Wee Wittle Fwuffy Bunny
Nature Ritual. For 90 seconds, whenever anyone attempts to cast Angel of Death, a Wee Wittle Fwuffy Bunny pops out of a wee wittle hole in the ground, and goes all beady eyed. Caster of Angel of Death is knocked down for 10 seconds, and says, "zOmG!!! Tath Wee Wittle Fwuffy Bunny R t3h Cut3n3ss!!!"

ROFL, we should email Anet and have them implement it.

Man, it's actually really sad how many people fell for the Heavens Gate thing despite it being an obvious joke. Is the average intelligence here that low?

ever heard of sarcasm and playing dumb Malafide?

Rob Van Der Sloot · Apr 11, 2006, 09:12 AM // 09:12

I think you are confusing me with the twisted necromancer I make movies for. I'd rather not be associated with a woman who feeds her dog children, and stores her fireworks at an orphanage. But I think we are getting off topic here.

Poison Ivy · Apr 11, 2006, 09:27 AM // 09:27

My friend actually has been to this place, but the bastard wouldn't give me more info on it...guess that doesn't help much.

Anyways, TAKE SCREENIES OF THE TOWN ALREADY.

Yeah good job on the editing, it does look pretty real

Energizer Deth Buni · Apr 11, 2006, 05:47 PM // 17:47

This is not real... I ve cleared FOW many times. And who ever did this forgot to put the white swirl portal markings in front of the gold town marker. Look at Rankor then look back at Heavens Gate.

Diablo™ · Apr 11, 2006, 06:29 PM // 18:29

Of course its real.

Seriously I'm not. I've had a couple of people whisper me before thinking that I was the Queen's mailbox or something and expecting an answer back. But I'm not.

Back on topic though, we really should have a big party at Heavens Gate some time soon.

Then afterwards we can go out and do some of the high-level quests there.

striderkaaru · Apr 12, 2006, 04:25 PM // 16:25

tom, just for your information, sms is sending a squad of our best assassins after you for leaking our secret.

oh, and people in the guild were mean to you for stealing my uber echo mending build.

Cygnus_Zero · Apr 12, 2006, 07:55 PM // 19:55

For those of us that are designers, it's easy to see that the font used on the town title is slightly "weaker" than the other 2 town titles. It's the 1st thing I looked for. Someone more skilled as a designer would have made a duplicate of that text layer above the previous one and make the opacity somewhere around 50% to make it look stronger.

I didn't read this whole thread so maybe this was pointed out. Sorry if it was.
