So...I dont know if it was posted before ( I'm afraid itw was :s but don't know what should I type in search button) but while browsing official site i found some oooold screens from prophecies with new monsters, some cool warrior armor, some cool shiled and bow O.o .
I think it would be nice to add it to game..and new quests as well It can refresh game and um check it.

Last one looks like Jabba the Hut. o.O

I really like that bow. I wonder why they didn't include it in the final release.

ensoriki · Dec 24, 2007, 11:23 PM // 23:23

Sweet put that stuff in game.

Make it cost ectos

Raise ecto cost now!!!

Those are basically pre-beta images. There's other art of things obviously created ingame that just never made it to release. :\

Lonesamurai · Dec 24, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

Ahhh... now those images bring back memories...

and yeah, i wonder why the last creature wasn't left in game?

netniwk · Dec 24, 2007, 11:49 PM // 23:49

I miss the original hand axe(the one without haft).

stouda01 · Dec 24, 2007, 11:51 PM // 23:51

btw did you guys noticed on that bow that it has String? O.o..maybe they will add atleast bow strings, remember that design weapon Bow with wood chick on it? the important part was a gold string.

.....for example torment bow could have some violet transparent string mmmmmmmmm.

englitdaudelin · Dec 25, 2007, 01:24 AM // 01:24

That bow, slightly reskinned, looks like it could be the Charr recurve that we get in the BMP... same general profile and shape, same shapes adorning the handles.

It is a pretty nice looking bow. Nice work on the research!

stouda01, I noticed the string too.
My head sploded when I realized what it were.
No wonder they took strings out. It looks like it's been starched.

You're not the only one. The bow is pretty crap compared even to what was released with prophecies.

I like the shield my self

The goblins woulda been fun.

The place is shown in the end of GWEN I think

Last monster was awsome looking and shoulda been in the game

Randvek · Dec 25, 2007, 03:04 AM // 03:04

90% of the stuff that didn't make the final release looks like total garbage, but some of the stuff they left out are real head-scratchers. There are some gems in it, for sure.

GloryFox · Dec 25, 2007, 03:25 AM // 03:25

That shield is rather Nice, I like the Green and Red guild cape checkerboard pattern.

Now that I think about it. It would be nice to have Guild Shields, that would be cool.

The armors are found in the tyrian jungle, as are the bows. We can't get them, but the npcs there have em.

Nevin · Dec 25, 2007, 03:58 AM // 03:58

That armor is from a time when Warriors were skinny. This is the graphical period of GW when they first emerged with a new look, for those of you who are confused I'll make a little time line to show how GW has evolved graphically.

Basically looked like WoW...
(Oldest) http://www.vidaextra.com/archivos/im...uildwars2b.jpg

Then they updated the graphics...
(Not sure... Alpha -> Closed Beta?) http://eu.guildwars.com/images/scree...een021-lrg.jpg

Tweaked them a bit more...
(Open Beta) http://guides.gamepressure.com/guild..._screen_16.jpg
(Baby bibs capes) http://www.rpgstars.com/screenshots/...enshot-052.jpg

GW as we know it today...
(Present) http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...heOutcrops.jpg

Unfortunately the old "Wow" style Guild Wars, is becoming more scarce on the internet. I used to be able to pull up @#! loads of pics for it, when discussions like this arose. But alas, I cannot anymore. So to suffice heres a link showing some closed and open beta screenshots.

Bring back the beards for the eles!

yep and they looked like pants back then too

GW used to have TONS of skins before release. every now and then one of theese oldies is added back.

Colossal scimitars took 2 years to get back in game. There are still tasty items, fully designed and working waiting to flip of the switch.
