I've never seen it tumble over, and I've been there 4 times, and walked over it 3 times. But maybe it does fall over, I dunno. I always found the statue cool. BTW, it's always female to me.

This is interesting, I've never seen it up before...that's pretty cool. I didn't even realize it was a statue I was walking over until I walked over its head...even then I was like...nahhh

Yeah, it's for real. I've been there many times. It does fall and become a bridge as part of the 15 pt attrib quest. Though I've never actually seen it fall and the last time I went, I made a point of trying to watch it. For me, it just suddenly dissappeared and made the bridge. Maybe it's a graphics thing. When you get up there to cross the bridge it makes, it doesn't look passable, but obviously, it is.

its a cool effect. They have it standing as a 2d sprite in the distance and when you get within the range that the 2d dissapears you see the 3d bridge map object
or maybe not....just a guess

I have seen it upright but when you get closer it is over to form a bridge and it is Female Warrior wearing Knights armor in the Arid Sea.

OK ummmmmm....u're so wrong there. Shes not wearing 15k armor...shes wearing 1.5k Droks armor. I hate it when people are like "look at me i have 15k armor on you noob" when they actually they have droks on. I Pwn them by putting my FoW armor on.

Arid sea is quite an interesting place. Supposedly they brought about there own destruction using the ancient weapon, since some of the ghosts mention this(if I remember correctly). I've always fancied the enormous bloodstained area just south of statue that is littered with giant bones, like something horrible had happened and had stained the ground forever.

ya its pretty real the 15 attribute points in the desert quest.

I think what really happens is that the statue you see is a temporary background for far away shots then when you get close enough the comp redraws the picture with close up graphics which are in the down postion. ANet probably never updated the far away pic in the down position.
You notice a simlar thing with things like arches and large rocks, as you get closer it will redraw in better detail sometimes moving to the side a little bit.
