There are some really amazing shots. The first 6 pages are all GWEN related. I think this might answer some questions as well: there are a few shots of mini pets, armor.... inside the Hall of Monuments.

Direct Link to Pictures

After you click on any picture, on the top left of it you will a little *All Sizes" Icon, click on that to get a much larger version. Specially useful to read skills.

And HERE
is the thread where I found it.

I hope we can get that guy's armor...

Awesome pictures! The Shiverpeaks, which has always been my favorite area anyway, look even better. I can't wait!!!!!!

I would think so. That's a screen shot and I'm guessing Gwen and the Charr are npc's, so the guy with the cool armor must be the player.

I was looking at the asuran skills, I sure hope they are class specific because if everyone had Asuran scan then we're gonna have some broken farming.

/drool at that forest fire =O

What are the Polymock pieces like the Gargoyle ones in the screen supposed to do? I forgot

Look at the mesmer at the bottom right of the page. Thats a tyrian look...and hes wearing an eye patch. So thats possibly one the of character customization items.

It definately looked like the armour section of the Hall had armour from more than one proffesion, im sure I saw both ritualist and assassin armour there, that would seem to have implications, unless it was just some kind of dev cheat thing

Mordakai · Aug 09, 2007, 05:20 PM // 17:20

Man, I can't wait to make Gwen an Illusionary Weapon Me/W.

She's gonna kick ass!

xBakox · Aug 09, 2007, 05:22 PM // 17:22

Tight, all the henchmen from all the campaigns. Talon ftw. Some really cool screens there. Btw is it possible to enhance the image so we can read the skills and such?

wajir0 · Aug 09, 2007, 05:23 PM // 17:23

can some one please tell me what that little thing is??

is that a dodo????

Free Runner · Aug 09, 2007, 05:34 PM // 17:34

If not a dev perhaps some new mini pet? the caption is:

One of the devs popped in and was transforming for fun (and profit).

Though he doesnt make it clear as to if the dev transformed into the Baby Moa or the Black Moa. Seeing the ranger i would gues hes the Baby Moa but that Ranger sure seems to have quite a few pets around (Mountain Eagle and now Black Moa)

Absinth187 · Aug 09, 2007, 05:52 PM // 17:52

I would assume the title track skills are class specific since the E/Me skill list was showing Asuran hexes, but I dunno. I'm looking forward to summoning Mursaat!

The black moa does look to be a new mini, and that mountain eagle is pretty sweet.

xBakox: Just click on "All Sizes" at the upper-left corner of the images on Flickr.

The character in that screenshot is a single-profession Elementalist. The Asuran skills (all EotN PvE skills, actually) can be used by any profession.

GloryFox · Aug 09, 2007, 06:08 PM // 18:08

Holy Crap Summon Mursaat IS a Asuran Skill. I know that this was a rumor but to see it was something else.

The full list of Asuran Skills from screen shot.
Air of Superiority
Asuran Scan
Mental Block
Mindbender
Pain Inverter
Radiation Field
Smooth Criminal
Summon Ice Imp
Summon Mursaat
Summon Naga Shaman
Summon Ruby Djinn
Technobable

I've actually never seen it before. The one reskin that I *have* seen it look like looks similar to that, but that set in particular is unfamiliar.

Second armor I've seen so far that I want.

The big bird is the infamous Black Moa.
The small one looks like a infamously immature infamous Black Moa.

I doubt so, but... could it be that they added different shapes to each evolution of animals?

...

Nay... probably is part of a quest or something...

kradens · Aug 09, 2007, 06:41 PM // 18:41

zomg, forget the armor!

im wondering if we can echo summon mursaat and have 2 mursaats aiding us XD

or. maybe the party will have a cap of 1 mursaat per party, or one mursaat per person........what if two people bring summon mursaat, will the mursaat just overlap the old one like minions do at 10 minions? - or what if they;re like spirits and die after a certain time @_@

nooooooo...i wants a mursaat army!!!

lol. all i care about is if we can pile summon creatures! that alone will make me rush to the nearest gameshop and camp for gw:en.

SpeedyKQ · Aug 09, 2007, 07:01 PM // 19:01

Holy cow, I'm psyched. That looks like a whole bunch of awesome.

That said, I'm a little worried about all of the non-profession title skills. Is profession even going to matter anymore or will we all just have the same skillbar? OTOH at least PUGs might come back if these skills make it so that human players are, on average, better than AI companions again.

So the different profession armors confirms that the hall will at least be partially account-based. I wonder if any of it will be character based? Will there be any benefit to getting Protector of Cantha on more than one character, for example?

GloryFox · Aug 09, 2007, 07:09 PM // 19:09

And here are the verified Norn Skills. Some of these sound interesting and I can't wait to try "Finnish Him" with my SIN. (Mortal Combat FTW!)

12 Norn Skills total
"Dodge This!"
"Finnish Him!"
"I am the strongest!"
"I am unstoppable!"
"You are all Weaklings!"
"You move like a Dwarf!"
A touch of Guile
Club of a Thousand Bears
Feel no Pain
Raven Blessing (a fighting form perhaps?)
Ursan Blessing
Volfen Blessing

One last tidbit... it seems the 50 PvE skills are numbered in this fashion.
14 Asura
12 Norn
12 Dwarf
12 Ebon Vanguard

This means the 12 skills I posted earlier are incomplete there are 2 missing skills. With what we know of the Asura skill list is it possible we might see Spectural Agony as a PvE only skill? I doubt it but we will not know until three weeks from now.

Metal Herc · Aug 09, 2007, 07:29 PM // 19:29

Well, Looks like Pets go in the same place as your heroes.

I was kinda hoping they would go with minipets, seeing as how that part of my hall is going to be completely empty.
