yea i was hyped for that but well wateva im sure itll work eventually
tho on a side tangent i loved how they imply (all speculation on my part now) that dragons are coming back in gw2, cos currently gw is lacking dragons and an elvish-like race, that while generic are still kul sooooooo yea cant wait to see more of this =)

Am I the only one, for some reason, feels the sylvari will be evil? Like, they look innocent, but so does the chick before the blade slips into your ribcage.

I'm not going near that tree unless I have napalm on me >:E

I do agree with you on the fact that there's far too many races in classic RP games for the sole purpose of being a Barbie Doll. Being a girl myself, it's very offensive seeing scantily clad girls with overactive thyroids prance around my computer screen to the enjoyment of all of my male fellow players (I imagine it's the same sensation one would feel walking into a strip club). However, I like the idea of the Sylvari in this case, only because it adds frailty to a character that the game didn't really previously have. The "traditional Guild Wars approach" that I mentioned I basically see as war-mongering iron clad "heroes" with inconcievable strength in comparison to normal human standards. Mind you I respect that more than pure fairy tale, but adding a certain fairy tale element to the game in very small doses would be interesting at least, maybe even refreshing.

Lol, I read somewhere official, though unfortunatley I don't remember where, so I can't cite it, that the Sylvari were absolutely pure nature spirits, the symbol of child-like innocence, completely lacking the corruption of sadness, hatred, or suspicion.

I was disappointed too. I've decided my "main" character in Guild Wars 2 is going to be a sylvari. I was looking forward to seeing it. And then I see a tree...okay...lol Someone said that we fought The Great Destroyer, and what's the opposite of destruction? Creation. So perhaps the sylvari will be a new creation after the destroyer is dead. I like that idea, so that might be what they're planning.

That little grove with Ventari and the tree is pretty cool though.

D: I knew of the Sylvari and forgot about them, saw the tree, and was like, "WOW SO AMAZING A TREE! ... I'm Kurzick and I don't understand this. >>"

That was my reaction too.

A tree waggle is not what I expected.

I thought the entire final cutscene was a bit weak. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the rest of EotN (my only other qualm about the game would be that there was not enough content in the Charr homelands). But to have this ending after I killed the Great Destroyer is just a bit disappointing. It would have been fine as an epilogue sort of thing. But I feel that they should have had some sort of cutscene with some character interaction or something.

If that tree grow speed like typical trees in real world, it means that even 100 years after tree started grow, it becomes quite big.

WHen tree grow enough, it create or start create new race.

I agree. I didn't mind not seeing the Sylvari, because I didn't expect to, but the whole end seemed a little too short.

Yeah I agree as well, I was really disappointed after seeing it. I think it may have helped to give the cutscene some light if, at the point in the monologue where it stated "We need the greatest heroes of all time, the children of the heroes." or something like that, they should have cut to just the smallest glimmer of a shot of GW2, like different races stepping into view, ideally from tests from the actual game but not necessarily. But, I suppose that's a little too much to ask...

No suspicion eh? We can teach them a few things.
