I figured that far, since I watched those videos last night, but how did they get such a clean, unfogged version of it? and SOO huge?

Did he switch to DIRECTLY controlling one of the heros?

Lord-UWR · Jul 14, 2007, 06:31 AM // 06:31

Yes he did, which was VERY weird. And I want the 999 damage skill...

The top left one is decidedly in the Charr homelands.

One could wonder what it is, it looks like a blueish spine, very odd kind of structure. It could be a Charr Temple, the Petersdome of their Shamans.

Anyways:

Very crisp 0.8 MB version of the GWEN-Map (resized version of the 21 MB map), 1969 x 2219 px:

They said something about him using cheats, so they could quickly show some of the new stuff.

All of this look pretty cool

I'm just wondering how big the dungeons and carverns are gonna be and will they be added to your map? The one thing that bugged me about SF was that i could never get a map of it, because everytime i went somewhere else my minimap was wiped. Anyone got pictures of rit armour? - Only PvE class worth playing

Did anyone here notice this new explorable area?

This area is found in the red circle on this map:

I wonder what the ghostly looking river delta area in the north-west part of this explorable is?

I noticed it...it was one of the things I commented on in my previous post...it's set apart from the rest of the areas so I'm guessing it has something to do with the Sylvari...since they don't seem to be mentioned much. The area looks like it could be an area where they could concentrate on nature...since that's what they are supposed to be...nature spirits.

I'm guessing the delta is a marsh like area..or something...something with low levels of water with land dotted across the map.

To me the white areas look like something you can walk on, like spider webs.
They seem to taper off to connect to the paths. Like ramps.
Or....they could be tunnels underneath the ground, but still part of that instance.

You guys remember the Wizard's Tower, floating off the edge of Kessex Peak? (Also visable from Fisherman's Haven)

Well, I've cleared 100% of the Tyrian map, and that place has always been partially obscured by clouds.

I've always wanted to check that place out, and was hoping GW:EN might offer the chance. well...

As you can see, not so much with the clouds. Could simply be some UBER GM cloud clearing skill, but it does leave room for hope. Conjures memories of Cosette.

Pwny Ride · Jul 14, 2007, 09:17 AM // 09:17

I would love to explore or find the purpose for the Wizards Tower in Kessex Peak. There must be something powerful linked to it, considering Verata wated to get inside so badly.

Ya, I capped those armor images from the E3 videos. The 'sin armor (1) seems to be a total re-skin of Imperial set, though, so hopefully we'll get more variety in different sets.

There doesn't seem to bee all that much aboveground explorables, so the content better be good. Us who like exploring aren't gonna have a field day this time.

JeniM · Jul 14, 2007, 10:34 AM // 10:34

18 Multi Level Dungeons, The surface area isn't all of GWEN
Loved the "Boss Monster" idea

and the "jellies"

ObiWan07 · Jul 14, 2007, 10:50 AM // 10:50

The tower is visable in all unfoged versions of the Tyria map.
So that has nothing to do with GWEN

The top pics is off a 100% map and the bottom pic is the preview GWEN map

Willow O Whisper · Jul 14, 2007, 11:06 AM // 11:06

yup if i remember right gw:en will also add something 2 the exsisting prophecies map, like the tarnished coast and small isles around the sunken Arah, so its quite possible that there will be new areas other than those.

fRag_Doll · Jul 14, 2007, 11:06 AM // 11:06

The GW:EN preview map is un-fogged, not 100% explored, but completely without fog at all. Notice how the unexplorable areas look like concept art?
Those parts are covered with fog on the in-game version, and when a map is explored to 100% there are still borders of fog around every explorable area.

JeniM · Jul 14, 2007, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Is it just me or did Orr look amazing in those vids

I think your right that it's not a 100% map rather a never fogged in 1st place map

It was revealed that the area was Riven of Ore along the Tarnished coast.
No Orr in GW:EotN.

At least that's what they telling us. /me does shifty eyes

kimahri · Jul 14, 2007, 11:37 AM // 11:37

I do believe it is Orr that is shown in the video since he says that it IS Orr that has risen out of the ocean. Plus the area is shown on the map. Mind you that they haven't revealed all areas on the map, only a few to excite us! A lot is still clouded.
