Anyone know what the heck these things are? They're by the Statue of Lyssa, before you hit the Ice Beast and the Seer. They give off a pretty unique sound effect, do their glow-pulsing.. do these figure into a quest? Are they just mysterious trash?

(as a side-note: anyone who's looking to cap skills in Mineral Springs should just take all-henchmen party if your buddies or guildmates aren't on. so easy, so reliable, and no worry the three monks on your team don't heal)

yeah I saw that and I was wondering about those. Also I wonder about those mmm pedestals with runes on them, you see them all over in certain places

Itok · Dec 21, 2005, 02:32 PM // 14:32

wow, I didnt know there were any things like this there. I'll have to spend a bit more time wandering about up there. I needa take my necro and monk up there.

this is where the new Icy dragon Swords drop. sweet huh?

nunix · Dec 21, 2005, 10:04 PM // 22:04

Yeah, the ironic bit is I was up there yesterday (when I found these things) doing skill capping.. I get back to Citadel, check forums, and.. what de hex! XD

Seer's spaceship.

Don't you guys watch SG-1? They're to original stargates the ancients built several million years ago...c'mon, everyone knows that.

So can I expect Tealc' to pop out and give me a hand with the ice imps in there?

Barinthus · Dec 22, 2005, 10:48 PM // 22:48

lol that'd be freaky cool

Guardian of the Light · Dec 23, 2005, 12:32 AM // 00:32

ya and he ridges it so they all drop IDS

SincorpDeath · Dec 23, 2005, 12:58 AM // 00:58

actually, i was there earlier today with some friends, and we decided they're the same type of fire beacons you light in one of the earlier mountain quests. I think it was frost gate. but we could be wrong. Not the regular ones, but the giant one you lit with the enchanted torch.

Racthoh · Dec 23, 2005, 03:18 AM // 03:18

I tried kneeling to them, bowing my head, walking into them... nothing seemed to do anything. Guess they're just a graphical.

Can someone post screenshots please?

swordfisher · Dec 23, 2005, 07:07 PM // 19:07

Personally, I think some expansion is going to open up a zone from that spot- like UW or FoW- and that the IDS dropping from there is just Anets way of making people aware of the place. I look forward to hiking 20 minute to farm "ecto: the sequel."

ecirbaf · Dec 23, 2005, 11:22 PM // 23:22

I love the sound that comes off these things.

Reks · Dec 24, 2005, 06:03 PM // 18:03

The first time I saw them I thought they were teloporters. =/

Atomic Arson · Dec 27, 2005, 04:41 AM // 04:41

It looked much like a respawn point, doubt it and didnt really think to find out either. Very odd, maybe just a REALLY lame "easter egg" type thing if you get me.

Also, i dont like taking henchmen to MS because my necro always ends up getting 60dp'ed before i pass the second group of Avicara. Its so annoying just to get spiked for so much and flourish recharges savage slash, oooh i hate them so much. (Terrain abuse ftw)

Barinthus · Jan 09, 2006, 06:16 AM // 06:16

Sorry once I got back home I just had to grab as much time with Wintersday as much I could.

Anyway the 'weird' structure mentioned above is here.

Also I've been noticing those things in certain places. I believe this one was in Magumma Jungle. I've seen same ones but with yellow/red colored markings (fiery?) in Diessa Lowlands...

I wonder what those are... what do they mean?
