Could we use the Charr language thingy to translate the text or is it in another language other than Charr?

Bo Fairfield · Feb 07, 2008, 11:19 PM // 23:19

I don't think that that is Charr.

Those skins of the bronze animals might perhaps be a monument as others have suggested. This is a wild guess but could it be part of the Party Animal title track or is that something else?

Wha? That shield makes George O'Keefe look subtle. If you're not seeing the resemblance, you clearly have not spent enough time staring at female genitalia.

lol, but that means if it IS a vag shield it'll have an armor rating of 0 coz most guys can't hit the cl*t anyway!!

Those are unused images... as I know but i must not read someone's answer.

No answer for what they are for but...... ey! let ragna look with a zoomed image:

There are some... texts here!.

And if we look carefully......

They matched!.... looks odd.
And for the first text it matched 100% but a line + 1 "character".
The other text matched 100% but 1 "character" + 1 line

This is getting weird...

This looks really awesome. I hope we find out more about this in particular.

Mini - Thread Necromancy FTW! lol

More about that strange circle-like simbol... it has friends now:

Also found this "tomb" or wall with the same symbols... looks like some1 praying to the sun....

We can also find the same symbols on this two pictures (they are rotated to be vertical):

Some... "flag"

The Dwayna / Melandru posibility posted a lot of posts before....

reeeeaaaally weird. Maybe some kind of Elven alphabet? It doesnt match with anyone of my researches....

And BTW.... does anyone know who is this woman? I havent seen it before, i think (maybe she's on a mural I didnt looked to). She looks like a Canthan Kurzick warrior / goddess, cause of his white painted face like Danika and the little dragons near her feet("same" little ones as warrior elite canthan shoulders dragons).

(2 images merged 4 u):

on the DAW winners, any indication the shields have back textures?

Darksun · Feb 08, 2008, 06:18 PM // 18:18

She's definitely on the Kurzick stained glass, but I don't remember her on brick..

you guys sure none of those stone textures are not from Gwen's mission?

How juvenile.

Most people think anything oblong with something surrounding it looks like a vagina. I fail to see how that shield could be called a vagina other than immature 15 year olds that get off on just saying the word.

Fluffiliscious · Feb 08, 2008, 10:30 PM // 22:30

Lol.....btw it's Georgia O'Keefe...that's right, a woman.

Celestial_Kitsune · Feb 08, 2008, 10:38 PM // 22:38

Shields.

The most reliable and valid projective tests.

Antitorgo · Feb 08, 2008, 10:48 PM // 22:48

Oh come on... The shield is nothing, the friggin Dreadspawn Maw at the end of Stygian Veil gives me nightmares.

I suppose that a giant vagina that gives birth to Stygians is supposed to look scary, but the teeth and all just goes over the top.

Freke · Feb 08, 2008, 10:55 PM // 22:55

When you guys said "It looks wierd" I thought itlooked like Goatse, but nowhere in hell do I see a vagina.

Yeah, there's a pretty obvious goatse reference in the shield too, but you're looking too high up.

Regarding the runic inscription: The text in the circle is unlikely to mean anything, as it's simply two letters repeating (unless the message is 'kekekekeke"). The two blocks of text might be "real", but the same letters tend to occur next to eachother several times which to me suggests cut & paste. A frequency analysis should be able to determine if it's text or just cut & paste generic rune-looking graphics.

EDIT: Took a closer look at the text. The frequency analysis checks out, but the letters repeats upside down on the same line. I doubt that's real text.

Woah...typo...I knew that...

I had a picture of her standing naked in Silver Bay, taken by her husband Alfred Stieglitz, on my wall all through college so I'm extra aware of her feminine assets...

Yeah i was thinking and investigating about the frequency letters but..... i find that there are some letters upside down as you said... and even flipped vertically :S. and in the other texts... seems like they are read in vertical.... but... thar charr tomb texts are in horizontal.............. i dunno :P

DarkWasp · Feb 15, 2008, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Woah!

-# 129602 (might be 129603, I think the RAW data extract takes off a number) -Pos 3106268160 -Section 6066930

(I don't know which of those are important)
(If they vary, the size is 2032824)

It's a song.

Is this in the game? It sounds like a theme, it even has the GW main tune in it.

It's awesome!

Anyone else find this?

I also noticed, GW has some REALLY good music. It all sounds like CRAP ingame, due to the fact that even with the music volume at max I have to set all other sounds to 25-45% and turn my speakers up to blasting loud.
