LOL Gwen and her corrupted vanguard in black lol!

Mordakai · Jul 20, 2007, 07:59 PM // 19:59

If Gwen is a Hero, it will be easy enough to make her a Fast Casting Nuker.

Or use Glyph of Illusion to boost those Fire skills to 16.

Considering our characters had just matured in presearing(17-22 years old), I'd say by EotN, my Main Warrior is gonna be 25-30 years old.

IF Gwen is a hero, and IF she is a Mesmer,

Old Norgu can get back to his acting career.

Hammer Drawn · Jul 21, 2007, 04:05 AM // 04:05

Hmmmm maybe Gwen will be your little friend throught the entire game and then BOOM she turns out to be The Great Destroyer in disguse and she will turn around and kill your sorry butt

THAT would be excellent

Uhm i hate Gwen and i honestly i think shes a ***** i dont think i can say what i really want on here.

dsnesnintendo · Jul 21, 2007, 04:49 AM // 04:49

I think iv got the best solution

make her an npc through the story then after you beat the game you get te Gain Gwen quest for her as a hero

makes both parties happy

Timotheos · Jul 21, 2007, 11:13 AM // 11:13

Well I think...
Gwen wants to be a warrior and war mesmer outfits...but then she'd have to be a mesmer, but mesmers can't act as warriors unless.....
Gwen is gonna be an IW mesmer/warrior xD *cheer* go gwen! using my fav skill!
And I do hope they make her a hero

Enix · Jul 21, 2007, 07:22 PM // 19:22

OP - Gwen is presumably a hero (most likely a Mesmer).

Kormir is an NPC.

Apples, Oranges.

sassoonssamson · Jul 22, 2007, 12:33 PM // 12:33

abaddon could have played mischief and given her powers
she did go ballistic in betas

she looks right for the age

I hope she will be a hero and and not an enemy we have to fight against( she did hold a grudge in the betas for not saving ascalon)

isnt it interesting that in pre ascalon she was just meant to be there to amuse us...

3 campaigns later people are still obssessed with what happened to her.

Maybe she will remember us from our childhood

flakybuster · Jul 22, 2007, 07:36 PM // 19:36

Well from the picture of heroes this is my take:

Gwen - Mesmer
Unknown Female - Necro
Jora - Warrior
Dwarf - Monk
Pyro - Ranger
Vekk - Ele
3 Norns - Warrior, choose 1 out of 3

White Charr - Assassin (look at his claws and compare them to onis)
Tengu - Rit (because tengus usually dont wear masks and rits tend to wear masks)
Plant - Dervish (the claws are long and look like scythes, there are dervish plants in Nightfall too)

AND there's no paragon

RSGashapon · Jul 22, 2007, 07:53 PM // 19:53

Just because Gwen is (maybe) a hero and Jora is one, doesn't mean the rest of the characters in that image are all going to be heroes.

Banditda · Jul 22, 2007, 08:04 PM // 20:04

Lol I think she should be a hero, who is worth something, because the anogram is her name. And maybe that tapestry shred she gives you in pre-searing will be worth something, for the people who kept it.

Vlatro · Jul 23, 2007, 04:47 AM // 04:47

I ran across some postings on various forums suggesting that the upcoming Eye of the North expansion would feature the adult version of Gwen, the child in pre-searing Ascalon. This is of course inferred by the abbreviation of the new expansion, Guild Wars: Eye of the North (GW:EN).

Old news, I know. But upon closer examination, we may find additional hints about her part in the upcoming storyline. I ran the game's title: "Guild Wars Eye of the north" through some anagram engines to see if the developers had cleverly disguised any clues about the game in the title.

For those who are unfamiliar with what an anagram is: it is a process of rearranging letters in a given word or phrase to form a new word or phrase, descriptive of the original. An example would be rearranging the letters in "Eleven plus two" and finding they can form "Twelve plus one". Another popular example is the rearrangement of the word "Mother in-law" to "Woman Hitler". They sometimes seem almost prophetic. Anyway, I took the same method and applied it to "Guild Wars: Eye of the North".

The results were a little shocking.

1. Oh Gwen, Adultery or Fetish?
Could this suggest that your character may develop some lascivious relation with the girl.

2. Gwen: Adultery of this hero
Pretty much confirms my suspicions about the first anagram.

3. Holy father is rude to Gwen
She may be smote by the almighty himself in the upcoming expansion.

4. Oh! Retard lousy thief Gwen.
She might jack your shit, watch out.

5. I Gwen the fool, trashy rude.
She's become Paris Hilton.

6. This holy rout Gwen feared.
She becomes evil, journeying to the "Dark-Side"

7. Is the odorful Gwen earthy?
She develops bad B.O.

8. Fishy urethra, Gwen tooled.
I don't know what that means, but when the words "Fishy" and "Urethra" appear in the same sentence, it's never good.

9. New sh*thead or flute orgy?
...Flute Orgy! Wow, aren't you glad you bought her that whistle when she was a kid? Maybe she saw American Pie one too many times.

10. Greedy tw*at, lush of heroin.
She's a crack wh*ore!

11. Gosh! Laid twenty-four here.
She's a compulsive wh*ore!

12. Oh! Their flawed youngster.
She's a disappointment to her parents.

13. Filthy nurse to aged wh*ore.
Not a huge fan of game-based movies, but I'd rent that one.

There seems to be a theme here. What do you guys think?

Antithesis · Jul 23, 2007, 08:00 AM // 08:00

Fekking hilarious Vlatro, good stuff

Particularly like the fishy urethra...any mention of chicken in the wordstorm?

Suuk · Jul 23, 2007, 10:42 AM // 10:42

Greedy tw*at, lush of heroin.

and

Gosh! Laid twenty-four here.

Made me laugh! Hilarious!

Slightly more on topic

I agree with the beta-ending-story. I wont forget how she killed me there and suspect she will be somehow related to the evil side. And therefore won't be a hero... Unless it is a really happy ending and plot change ("oh, I regret my deeds, please let me join the good side"-sh*t), but I hope it isnt.

Phoenix Tears · Jul 23, 2007, 01:33 PM // 13:33

I hope the day will arrive soon, when people get the knowledger, that clothing must not have ever have anything to do about what profession someone must be.

Let her have clothes, that look like a mesmer, but act like a monk ... would be fine with me.. or act like an elementalist or warrior ...

why must stupid warriors, regardless if male or female ever look like guarded tanks full of armor until no end ???
why must mesmers ever look like gay retards and rich bitchs ???, and female elementalist, as if they would wait for they next porn movie ?

God !!! people, get more creativity !!!!

WoW, Gwen looks, as if she has the mesmer model .. duh oO has this anything to mean in GW:EN !!!? NO IT HASNT, she can look like a esmer and end up as warrioer, what she most likely wanted to become as child in the pre searing.

I hope too, this retarded thinking of how classes HAVE to look will have an end with GW2

Welcome to Guild Wars. You have to remember, one of the aspects of the Game is PvP where the designers felt that every profession should have a distinct look. That's been obvious throughout each Chapter.

(the only variation is some very Elementalist looking Necro armor, but Necros have such a distinct look anyway with their clawed hands and tilted down head, they are pretty obvious, no matter what they are wearing!

)

The exact quote is:

"When I grow up, I'm going to be a hero like my daddy. I'd like to be a warrior, but the mesmers' outfits are nicer, don't you think?"

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Gwen

That implies some sort of choice. Plus, there's a screenshot out there with Gwen holding a Mesmer off hand. I know what you are saying, but I really don't think Anet is going to screw with their "Profession = clothes" scheme.

Also, keep in mind there will be 10 new heros in GW:EN. That probably means one for each profession. Gwen is a natural fit for Mesmer.

I heard that in Guild Wars 2, any class can wear any armor (with penalties).

So, it's very possible that this design = profession scheme will not exist in GW2.

Uh, I don't think all those pix are heroes.

The plant is probably a Monster, and why would they 4 Norn warriors? (incl. Jora). No, those male Norn are probably NPCs.

Not sure about the white Charr or the Tengu... a Tengu hero would be cool!

Also, if there was a Tengu hero, does that mean Tengu will be a playable race in GW2?

Anyway, the only confirmed heros are:

Jora - Norn (Warrior?)
Ogden - Dwarf Monk
Pyre - Charr Ranger
Vekk - Asura Ele
