Guild Wars 2: The One Thread

maybe that pic was just showing where the zones are it could still be irregualarly shaped

No, that's matching the in-game world map.

[Loaf Lord]

Meh, if you look at the world from a birds eye view the different terrains can look like semi rectangular shapes as well.

[Fencers]

I get why they did it, but having fishbowl zones still seems somewhat regressive to me. One of the things that made classic WOW so striking in it's time was the fact you could walk from one end of a zone to another without zoning.

Really never thought I'd see fishbowl zones in a major or AAA MMO in my lifetime again. It's not breaking my immersion or any nonsense like that. Just an odd thing when I look at the map.

There is a lot of old school design in GW2.

[DrakeWurrum]

It's also worth noting that, despite what I said earlier about the whole server shards thing, if Blizzard can do cross-realm zones without zoning, then I'm sure ANet could pull off sharding specific zones for overflow without zoning.

Ya see, I don't understand how that's a good match up for the kralkatorrik described in the book. In the book Rytlock was able to get in range in an attempt to stab him in the heart. If he's truly that big then it would be like rytlock trying to stab the heart of mount everest with a pickaxe. The books dragon size and the actual dragons size is inconsistent.

I'm almost 100% certain thats not kralkatorikk but just some random concept art from http://www.kekaiart.com/freelance.html

This one i feel would be him though http://www.kekaiart.com/uploads/5/4/...98/5591921.jpg

[DrakeWurrum]

Wasn't the book technically not written directly by ANet? Kralkatorrik is freaking huge.

That image suggests that the other one is plenty accurate.

It's worth noting that this guy is also labelled as Kralkatorrik. We'll have to wait and see what he actually looks like in-game when ArenaNet solidifies on one appearance. (though imo, that looks way too similar to The Shatterer to actually be Kralkatorrik)

[Newbryn]

ya kralkatorikk is pretty huge he's teh largest elder dragon I think watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrmuU...426CF7C63D590D.

Wow, that's just amazing. I kinda wanna do that now... but fuck just walking across America, I wanna travel the world. :O!

Also: watching the video they posted about Jane McGonigal, and I'm very much enjoying the ideas she's presenting.

Having decided basically impulsively to uproot and move myself from the UK to Asia, first to Singapore and now China, I can say that impulsive decisions that just feel damn right are the surest way to happiness I can imagine. Just letting go of the unnecessary baggage of actually overly worrying about consequences is one of the most liberating things ever.
Kelly's is a great story, far more inspiring than mine lol.

Gonna admit it, I was a bit shocked when you spoke perfect English and had a posh British accent. I fully expected you to speak broken English and sound like a Korean or something.

Haha...yh, I really should change my location as I guess many would think I'm Chinese.
But posh? Come on now...I'm not from Oxford or speak RP I'm just not from Liverpool or other ungodly places

Being somewhat theatrically inclined...I can keep up a cockney accent for a while Had to play a cockney once in a play. Pay me in vast sums of wine and I'll do it on ts one day. But I'm sure they'll be ppl with actual cockney accents in the guild too lol.

Also - didn't you realize from my beautiful written English that I probably wasn't from Asia?

It's a lot easier to write a language than to speak it, and I'm just going to use Sy as an example here. He can write extremely well, but speaking he sort of stumbles or sounds off sometimes. You on the other hand, from what I've seen, actually write pretty poorly.

But that could just be me projecting. xD

How very dare u! I'm a professional editor xD
But yh, I don't bother to correct my mistakes or make sure I write properly on the forum. I also type quickly so my brain and fingers trip up frequently.

Anyway...we've prob hijacked the thread enough xD

[DrakeWurrum]

Psh. I'm a prime example of an American typing/writing better than he speaks. I speak a mile a minute, and stutter over words even when I enunciate well.
