I can confirm this. I'm in the camp as I'm writing this on my assassin, who has completed eotn but not prophecies.

I just double checked this with Linsey, and you are correct. You can complete either Prophecies or Eye of the North to see the Shining Blade Camp in Talmark Wilderness. I will edit my previous response so that it's clearer. Thanks.

Thanks for clarifying, Regina.

Shayne Hawke · Apr 05, 2010, 11:32 PM // 23:32

Thanks for all of those clarifications, Regina.

#dismantle
it is.

Phaern Majes · Apr 06, 2010, 08:44 AM // 08:44

Gonna have to wait and see, if we get a chance at new armors I'm going for Obey. If not I'll probably Dismantle

EPO Bot · Apr 06, 2010, 08:59 AM // 08:59

If this is pvp, the obey side could get a little undermanned. So i guess i step to the dark side.

Does anyone else find the irony in the Mursaat being the featured article on Wiki?

I'unno... either way..

#Obey.

The wiki is maintained by players, not devs. You also need to find out what irony is.

That was my doing. ^^ Well, kind of. It was either Miniatures or Mursaat for these two weeks, and Mursaat fits with MantleCon and this stuff happening, and Miniatures fit with the 5th birthday, so let it come in 2 weeks so it is up on the 28th.

To see the Shining Blade Camp in Talmark Wilderness, you must have completed Prophecies or Eye of the North. We were not waiting for any sort of external trigger (on social networks, for example) before adding that to the actual game.

Those two in-game additions were scheduled by the Live Team. We on the Community Team and on Web have been running a small-scale teaser campaign (as you may have seen on Guild Wars 2 Guru) to support Live Team additions to the game. You will see in the coming weeks that the web site will have some more content that will support whatever it is the Live Team has in store for later in the month...

This seems incorrect or at least bugged then, as my Rit has not completed EotN and only did one Wintersday quest, yet still obtained all the speech by themselves.

*giggles evil like* i wil side with who ever has the best looking armor. *looks left then right* and who ever gives me 250e. *runs off laughing*

If it's obvious that the two colored spots are the factions' banners I don't need to say much more about that. Only thing I can think otherwise that might be of use was that when I looked at the blurred banner section of the image....

...I noticed that the white pattern on it seems to be skewed, and if you turn it ninety degrees clockwise, it appears to be close to the correct orientation for the real banner.

Judging by the similarities of the white portions, I'd say that the second image was merely the first one flipped and made less obscured, and that the actual bottom of the image is either the left or the right side; given that it's Mantle versus Blade and given how graphic designers like to orient things, I'd say the Blade's banner would be on bottom of the image, but I haven't got any reasoning beyond that which I'd actually trust.

If that's true, though, then the white portions would seem to be glare coming from the side of the image. That makes me want to say the image is a screen from a location in-game. Beyond that I run into to many mental 'variables' and not enough viable reasoning to be worth sharing.

Orual Fox · Apr 06, 2010, 10:06 PM // 22:06

Is it possible....that the 2 banners in the fuzzy picture are actually just there to prevent us from seeing what the true picture is? Yes, we know that (98%) they are the banners, but what if they are they to just cover up a more important part of the picture? Just a thought.

Allamorph · Apr 06, 2010, 10:36 PM // 22:36

I reason that if it's a promo ad, which it very likely is, then the image would also serve as part of the viral deal and be intended for player use, meaning the banners are the focal point, and that anything they might 'obstruct' wouldn't interfere with the background's clue.

Those appear to be figures above each banner. Right side for Shining Blade and Left for White Mantle each facing off the other. No idea what is in the middle of them.

Hyperventilate · Apr 06, 2010, 11:38 PM // 23:38

Wow. No need to get so touchy. I never said it was manipulated by the devs, so you can take back your assumptions.

i·ro·ny:

an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.

So much going on with the Shining Blade and suddenly a Mursaat feature. There lies the irony.

Current theory is that it is a manatee.

9:13 p.m. Went out to see village with guildies.

No camp, and trees were burned down.

Currrrrriiiiioooousss
