Thanks for posting more details.

Now what about the music? Is it a regular audio CD? How many tracks?

Virtuallight · Sep 13, 2006, 09:19 PM // 21:19

I got the bonus pack from a shop here in the netherlands called dynabyte
www.dynabyte.nl

here's some more concept art as you guys seem to like it

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 13, 2006, 09:23 PM // 21:23

cool; so that winged thing in the trailer they released a while back actually was a Margonite......

Virtuallight · Sep 13, 2006, 09:25 PM // 21:25

About the music, there seems to be only 1 track and its not a regular audiotrack.
as far as i can tell its part of the programfile on the disc so i cant extract it

Haha, just one?? Oh that's cheap.

Death Snapper · Sep 13, 2006, 09:33 PM // 21:33

how long is it? maybe they just made it like 1 long track <.<

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 13, 2006, 09:35 PM // 21:35

I read in a description somewhere it's a 90 second track

Horseman Of War · Sep 13, 2006, 09:36 PM // 21:36

program file on disk?

that brings up yet another Nightfall mystery.

Maybe we will get a Cooler login screen music... "(im pretty sure the login screen theme will be the one from the official preview movie) ...or perhaps we will get more music in our games?

quite interesting, really.

I remember when I modded Oblivion to use guild wars music... that was about the time I came back tot he game and purchased Factions.

EDIT-> i post too slow... 90 seconds? Hmmm
I wish i had something to do here at work so I could get my mind off of Nightfall.

Is it because it is concept art or they don't have legs?

Margonite entry from guildwiki-

Quote:

The Margonites were an ancient seafaring human civilization who visited the Crystal Desert 'hundreds of years' before the current time, and predated the Elonians.

In their attempts to achieve Ascension, they constructed towers in order to ascend to the gods, not realizing that it is not by physical means one may ascend. Like all others, the Margonites failed.

At the time the Margonites attempted Ascension, the Crystal Desert was mostly covered in water. Being a seafaring civilization, their architecture is primarily constructed out of (or built to resemble) parts of old ships. Their greatest concentration of settlements appears to have been in the southeast corner of the Crystal Desert near Thirsty River and Destiny's Gorge.

Note: A reference in the Strategy Guide for Guild Wars Factions mentions that there is evidence that the Luxons of Cantha made it to the Crystal Desert. Since the Luxons were seafaring people as were the Margonites, it may be possible that the Margonites and Luxons are the same people or share a common ancestry. However, there is no in-game confirmation of this relationship as neither ship styles nor building styles attributed to the Margonites are closely related to the sights we have in Cantha.

luxon ftw.

Awesome man, thanks for all the posts.

I knew it was real all along, I was just messing with you!

Seriously, sorry for doubting you.

JC68 · Sep 13, 2006, 10:01 PM // 22:01

only one track? gosh! factions preorder had 8 tracks... :/

Horseman Of War · Sep 13, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

'forbidden ruins of istan?'

isnt the PvE preview going to be on the province of Istan? I cant remember if I read that officially or on a rumor...

If so, thats good- because Ive seen enough of the lush greenery... I want desolate, bleak, and foreboding.

I also want black tentacles in my guild hall... I wonder if I can use any of the sigil stones I have stored DURING the event? Im doubting it... but that would be a nice treat./

GloryFox · Sep 13, 2006, 10:04 PM // 22:04

Wow it appears we will hear of the fate of the Margonites. This appears to be the best GW yet. I am SOOO looking forward to this.

Cool I shall be inclined to show them the benefits of a Ritualist Emissary Spear Chucker and thus prove my worth. I think I pick up some Emissary armor for my Ritualist for proper spear/ weapon spell use.

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 13, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

Hear the fate of the Margonites?! In the trailer it shows you get to kill them!

Virtuallight · Sep 13, 2006, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Ok a few more screenshots and then off to bed

Pepsi Jedi · Sep 13, 2006, 10:39 PM // 22:39

The Swan boat and Horus (( is it horus? do I have the wrong god?)) Wind mill are both pretty cool

Silly Warrior · Sep 13, 2006, 10:51 PM // 22:51

NO WAY!!

I WAS SO RIGHT!

I said like 2 months ago I felt certain we would hear more about the Margonites, I have a forum I posted about it to prove it.

ZOMG...what maybe I can predict the future?

Like today, when I predicted the two week old milk would smell bad!

Horseman Of War · Sep 14, 2006, 01:16 AM // 01:16

i remember you saying that silly warrior
