It's funny to think about how 2 years ago, I thought the game was close to being released.
And now here we are, getting close to a massive reveal, leading up to beta weekends.

It's been a long time.

Rata Sum is the Asuran capital, it's also an anagram of Mursaat.

I tend to not pay much attention to it's members, but it's a nice compendium of information whenever something new is released.

Well, apparently they've already caught one of the leakers.

Oh man I'd be kicking myself if I lost access to the beta over some screenshots.

[Picklesnipe]

I love the HUD and engine, as long as the artstyle isn't too Asian I think i'll be in love.

[mickers]

did we find out who leaked it?

[Newbienice99]

If companies were really serious about stopping leakers, I can't imagine it would be that hard.
I've seen things that automatically put in barely noticeable watermarks with an account name all over the image. They could build that in really easily, and if people too screenshots, their account name would be on it.

Not saying I don't love the leakers, but it just confuses me a bit.

did the leaker really expect to get away?
maybe if a picture was posted, but all that?

[mickers]

Nah, that's the guy behind him, near the Asura Gate.

[mickers]

Yuck, FF-style oversized swords.

So glad I'm playing an Engineer.

Good thing I'm playing mesmer, so instead of swinging those heavy swords at people, I can use them to channel lasers.

Did you think it would be otherwise? Greatswords are one of the available weapon types, and you can only make so many realistic ones before you are forced to fall into the ridiculous fantasy ones.

I keep on changing my mind on what my first character will be. First World Problems.

fuck I'm out of money and I won't be getting any for free any time soon

guess I'll have to work for entertainment, the whole WvWvW concept sounds a lot like WAR, and I fucking loved the RvR in that

You could always do some odd jobs, mow lawns, wash cars, sell your body, etc.

Looks like another leaked screenshot:



Character models and armour looking really good, so much detail on them.

[Chaos Creator]

I'm surprised how many people cant wait till monday to post their screenshots
also how long do you think it is till we have to stop looking at these to keep things a surprise for when we play

That red haired elementalist or whatever looks sexy.

[TrannyAlert]

Shame these leakers seem to be taking screenshots at the lowest possible settings...

[Dude Meister]

if those really are low settings, they look pretty damn good for an MMO on 'low'. That said, it's all down to Arenanet's amazing art team. I mean look how pretty the first game is, despite the limitations.

They basically have to be on low, seeing as my GW1 looks better than that in most areas. I've only seen half a dozen screenies that look graphically superior to GW1.

also remember that screenshots are not always the same as they would be on ur own screen!

Gee captain obvious. Ya think?

[psychojake]

I wonder whether the minipets are the size of what they should be. Like the tabby cat from the HoM, I wonder if it's normal house cat size like the rabbits/moa chicks from GW1.

I'd say that they're going to be normal size. They're not miniatures afterall.
