Not a lot of new information, but a PvE only skill was discussed.

Um actually a lot of this is new...To me, at least. I never heard of the Far Shiverpeaks, and there's also a new screenshot(s?)

Yeah, I'm sure that they managed to do better after that gaffe.

GS: In terms of content, how does Eye of the North measure up against the previous chapters? Is it about the same size as its predecessors in terms of both the size of the world and the number of quests and adventures?

BM: That is actually a difficult question to answer, as expectations of value are subjective. Added to that, expansions in general vary greatly in terms of both value and quality. With that said, Guild Wars has delivered games above and beyond what people have expected in many ways, and I see Eye of the North continuing that trend. Will it surpass player's expectations in terms of gameplay and visual aesthetic? Absolutely! It is by far the most gorgeous thing we have done to date. Will it have engaging content that will keep players entertained for countless hours? Absolutely.

HA!

That's pretty speak for "you're not getting that info".

Without going into too much detail

I don't like this part. Players should be given every possible detail about the Hall of Monuments so they know specifically what things are worth investing huge amounts of time & energy into getting.

Ben Miller called people who live in Ascalon as.....Ascalonians. I thought we (players) have come to an agreement that they're called Ascalons?

Neo Nugget · Apr 17, 2007, 03:52 AM // 03:52

oooo eye of deldrimor O.o sounds nifty

But the keys for ascalon are ascalonian keys O.o

Onarik Amrak · Apr 17, 2007, 03:54 AM // 03:54

Probably means they're still debating the actual specifics on the Hall...

Could have been a typo. Even Ascalons call themselves Ascalons.

Gaile Gray · Apr 17, 2007, 04:04 AM // 04:04

Hmmmm... I always called them Ascalonians, myself.

drakun01 · Apr 17, 2007, 04:18 AM // 04:18

He mention the factions, and different ranks for earning faction with them, which reminds me of WoW. IMO though, the more I hear about this, the less I think "World of Guildcraft" and more of GW with a few WoW-esque elements, which sounds better and better. And the Norns can own ice-wyrms? Goodbye wammo, hello nor...umm, normmo? W/E it sounded sweet! But Asurans, though...one of the few reasons I like gnomes is because they blow up in your face! But the Asurans make stuff that works! HERESY! All in all, despite this semi-rant, the future looks brighter!

PS. Ascalons

I really don't know.

Its been 2 chapters since I've been back to Ascalon.

Halmyr · Apr 17, 2007, 04:25 AM // 04:25

This is pure speculation ( which I usaly dnt do) but sounds lik were gonna be fighting some snow wyrms ( a.k.a. ice/snow/white dragons), woot for a la Dungeon est dragon ( thats french for " woot for dungeons and dragon

)

Other wise, this sounds really good. all I have to say.

/Prays to baltazar for dragons in GW:EN

P.S. Ascalonians

i did too,
/edit I CAN'T TYPE AT 12 30 AM

The interveiw revealed allot, however my ultimate question about the Slyvarians wasn't answered... at all

Now I want Gw:EN even more just to see what type of race they are, since the Asurians are the smart undeground race and the Norns are the EPIC WARRIOR HERO(S) every Whammo aspires to be ^^

And they also stated with the monument thing that they're still debating what your character in GW2 will benefit from your GW1 character(s), so can't wait to see how that works, and the Armor idea seems cool, maybe with luck we'll finally get Barbarianish armor for our warriors

dansamy · Apr 17, 2007, 04:51 AM // 04:51

I reckon I need to pack away the sunspear and vabbian slutwear and break out something a little warmer for my ele to wear if we are gonna be trekking through snow-covered peaks.

Not Rurik, but Adelbern. Cutscene at the end of Nolani Academy:

"I will never allow Ascalons to live in the shadow of the Krytans! It is Rin that will be rebuild. And you will learn your place."

lyra_song · Apr 17, 2007, 05:28 AM // 05:28

Ascalon Keys -> Ascalon
Vabbian Keys -> Vabbi
Kournan Keys -> Kourna
Canthan Keys -> Cantha
Istani Keys -> Istan
Luxon Keys -> Luxon
Kurzick Keys -> Kurzick

Need i say more?

Ascalonian is incorrect.

The Asura are an extremely cute magical race that is being driven above ground by the menace below. Don't let that fool you, though. They are among the smartest races in role-playing game history. Traditional gnomes, goblins, and so on, have nothing on these little guys.

lolwut

I'll admit its possible for the Asura to suprise me, but I doubt it. Infact, I doubt anything can contend with the scientific prowess in Arcanum (industrial revolution + magic/fantasy ftw).
