Guild Wars 2

In the Asura areas, they have these little “pools” in their walkways occasionally that you can walk over. I’ve noticed that the reflection you see in the pool when you walk over it is off. If you walk over the pool with your camera behind your character, you will see the back of your character reflected in the pool in front of you instead of the front of your character.

Does anyone know if this is intended?

Here’s a screenshot of what I mean

I noticed this and like it when I first saw it. Those surfaces are all over Auras areas, so it’s hard to miss.

They’re actually not reflective, the image of yourself seen in them is likely due to light distortion. Besides being from the wrong angle, they “reflections” are in the wrong position to be one. Since I figure they are platforms made by some kind of energy manipulation, any light bouncing back or passing through the floor would be affected in ways our feeble non-Asuran minds to comprehend. :P

Yeah, I wasn’t sure if it was some kind of Asura gadgetry or not.

One thing I noticed last night was the reflection is exactly the same in the fountain in the courtyard on the sPvP map Legacy of the Foefire.
