Agreed, with Factions it was the same. There was a whole host of stuff that Korea (Asia in general) got (screenies etc) that NA and EU didn't. Maybe they treat their CR better...

The Japanese site says: In this event, as for "パラゴン" the man character, as for "ダルウィーシュ" only the woman character is enabled. It is believed that the untranslated sections mean Paragon and Dervish.

パラゴン
pa ra go n

ダルウィーシュ
de ru u ii shu

Not entirely accurate translation on the dervish, but meh. My studybooks are at home to verify

Odd thing if they really allowed only one gender of each for the weekend preview o.0? Maybe we'll get only one face, one hair and one skintone as well

I don't get this... your right!

Why is it the EU or main Guildwars sites don't post or provide us with information like that?

Are we not worth it?

Not entirely correct. A ウ followed by a small kana, will become a "v". So it's de-ru-vii-shu. Dervish. Silly guildwiki.org :P "It is suspected the untranslated parts mean"
LOL

Myea, that's what confused me. My self-study books don't have anything for 'v', so I had to improvise. Guess my book is too old or something

Oh wow, okay I retract my earlier comment. Thanks for pointing it out folks. Still is a bit silly but I'm sure ANet have their reasons. At least it's something to whet our appetite til the next preview event.

LiamR · Jul 27, 2006, 10:50 AM // 10:50

Wow, the flames eye is scary, and now ive seen the primary atts of the dervish, the paragon sounds better.

Siddious · Jul 27, 2006, 11:05 AM // 11:05

but...but...I want my male dervish

they are so cool...

Lady Lozza · Jul 27, 2006, 11:28 AM // 11:28

Given that female Paragons kinda look like eles, and male Dervishes have been ralated to a whole host of things, I'd say most guy players want to make a female paragon and a male dervish. Ironically, it seems they won't be able to and that gives me a bit of a laugh

Because ArenaNet obviously do not have NCsoft under control. (NCsoft own ANet, not the other way round, you know.) And NCsoft are Korean.

NCsoft as the publisher does some of the marketing. They deal with retailers (hence the "leaked" content info on EBgames) and they coordinate the Asian GW websites (hence the "leaked" images on the Japanese website yesterday and now these new images ("leaked" again?) on the Korean site.

I guess some poeple at ANet are pretty mad at NCsoft right now for messing up the marketing time schedule. Sh*t happens.

Aha, and saying ANet had time to implement only one skintone makes me a racist how?

The Dervish are totally froody!

The Paragon...meh....

Terra Xin · Jul 27, 2006, 12:41 PM // 12:41

He needs that to show off his belly button piercing and his tramp stamp tattoo.

Solar_Takfar · Jul 27, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Mrm. I have to agree that the paragon doesn't look very... masculine. I mean, a mini skirt we can accept; a tanktop with man muscles and feathery wings drawn in it, we can... grudgingly accept. but... BOTH? whattahell. Add to that the fact he stands around with his hips slightly dislocated to one side, and there we have Priscillagon, Queen of the Crystal Desert, out to poke you with her spear!!!

Needless to say, my original plans to play a male para and a female derv once nightfall is out are undergoing serious reconsideration...

bpphantom · Jul 27, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

Gimme a female Dervish. Scythes FTW

unholy guardian · Jul 27, 2006, 01:48 PM // 13:48

they were cool although puzzling
