Okily this is something I see very often around these and competitive forums:

Was this EVER confirmed?
I always thought that they only announced the normal skills - and kept the elites a secret so that there would be at least some surprises in the store?
So - was it officially confirmed that the players will only get normal skills?

Now this doesn't make sense to me. Why have that big Brand-the-Boss contest and then not give said bosses some freakin' sweet Elites to snag?

Because you can summon a Mursaat or Fire Djin with a PvE skill?

*grumble* Shouldn't have edited it... *shrugs*

Capping Elites is a GW staple, isn't it? Going on cap runs with guildies is a big thing for some people.

I was dishearten to hear about no new elites.

Although I did make a post about this and got it locked

(a bit harsh here), so your probably find this post locked

Ohhhhh!
The no elites-crap could actually true!

http://www.guildwars.com/products/ey...th/default.php
150 new skills

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Image...North_logo.png
100 new skills (none of which are elite) - eg. the ones we saw
and 50 new PvE skills

Well this does look moronic!
Hopefully there is something we don't know yet! Or that the wiki info is wrong and that some of the supposed PvE only skills will be PvP elites!

There are no elites in GW:EN. It's in the sticky thread at the top of this forum.

Like Curse You said, there are no elites in GW:EotN because we will get 50 pve only skills, that basically have the same power as an elite should.
This way we do get our "elite skills" , sure they are not named elite skill , they are just named pve only skills AND we also don't unbalance pvp more then it already is.

Seems like a good solution to me? Now just balance the pvp we already have and make some changes to some skills to make them more viable in pve and everyone ( ok, most..) are happy.

Retribution X · Aug 09, 2007, 12:48 PM // 12:48

No elites? So they just screwed a lot of cash out of their own hands, because most PvPers won't buy it now.

Ha. GG Anet.

I'll still get it though. Won't be as happy, because I hoped for a fun energy cost sword elite that's useful in my builds.

When you guys have questions your...questioning...just check my sticky please!

Because chances are I'm more of a nerd than you and put the answer into my guide...lol. Sad but true :P

So no, there will be NO elites for GW:EN...and I've seen the skills for the Norn Asura, etc, and they ARE NOT elites.

Thanks!
