Question about an old Guild Wars video - Guild Wars Forums

Milennin · Oct 07, 2010, 10:49 PM // 22:49

I was watching some old Guild Wars video, and noticed one scene that doesn't look familiar to me, and the quality is too low to read any text and names. Anyone know what this is and where it is/was?

Ailina · Oct 07, 2010, 11:07 PM // 23:07

Oh geez, what ARE those things?!? I don't know of any monsters that look like that...
Seeing the Ghostly Hero there, and the decorations on the walls makes me think of HoH or something. I know there used to be those things called "Unworthy" you had to defeat to get to the PvP part of HoH, but I have no idea what they looked like (I was primarily PvE back then). Could those be it? It seems like a long shot, but it's all I could come up with.
If not, I have no clue. I'm really curious now too.
Could you link to the video please? For some context?

Looks like tombs before it got all Nightfallen.

There's Rift wardens far away on the first screen which would match up with this being old-Tombs, yeah. The radar and decor matches up. Yeah, definitely old-tombs. The NPC fighting round before you got to Underworld.

Yup, link is here: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/guildwars/video/6123668. Somewhere around 1/2 of the video it shows the scene.

Then why did they change that? It looks cool.=p

Kamara · Oct 07, 2010, 11:12 PM // 23:12

It *Was* cool, yes. I really hope that one day they go back to it. I mean, we got rid of the big bad in Nightfall. Give me back my pretty outpost! Not to mention I'd love to see this place decorated at Wintersday again. It was super pretty *_*

Milennin · Oct 07, 2010, 11:13 PM // 23:13

Do you have any nice screenshots of the place?=p

Kamara · Oct 07, 2010, 11:18 PM // 23:18

Only screens I've got of old-tombs are two 2005 wintersday ones.

Woulda sworn that a better bar could be built with other skills, even before the power creep in proph!

wow.. i didnt know tombs used to be preety o.0

Ailina · Oct 08, 2010, 02:33 AM // 02:33

So, were those creatures the Unworthy? Because I can't find any other pictures of Unworthy anywhere. Does anyone have any pics of them or something? Because neither wiki has a pic, and it's got to be in the gw.dat somewhere, right?

EDIT:
By the way, lol @ "Chances are you'll still be playing this game when 2006 rolls around".

i miss the old tombs, it was the only way to enter the hall of heros, they had to change it for Factions and Nightfall

They seem to be larger versions of Grasping Ghouls, perhaps with some minor modifications.

Awesome screenshots.=p
I still wonder why they removed/changed that area in the game.

**Marty Silverblade** · Oct 08, 2010, 08:52 AM // 08:52

Tombs was the old Heroes Ascent. The PvP was moved to the Battle Isles when Factions was released so that there was a single place for PvP rather than an equivalent of each type on each continent.
