No? Of course not. GW Factions concept art! =D I knew I’d seen something like it before. I think bringing back ideas that never made it to fruition in past events (or engine/workload limitations) is so dang awesome. I hope even more long lost ideas make it into the game!
I have a lot of high hopes for things in GW2 that have relevance to the past. Both in lore and in the creative process.
An example I would love to see is: the location where the derelict transporter at The Scar in the Crystal Desert become significant and explorable.
Random note: My favorite area in GW1 was the Arid Sea. I love that lonely vastness (like Shadow of the Colossus) and the views, and the mystery found there in the rotting cities (like the Ancient Weapon found in an old alley), the massive bones of an ancient creature, and the super awesome transport to Elona’s Crystal Overlook (absolutely LOVE how you can see the giant statue from Elona).
Sorry, one more thing. I really enjoy taking before and after pictures of Tyria! I have a fair collection of GW1 locations and what they now look like in GW2. I LOVE it when attention to details is paid to old lore and locations. When things match up, it’s surreal for me (kinda like Zelda’s Link to the Past VS Link Between Worlds). When they don’t, it’s a bit sad, but still fascinating how things have changed over the years. At those times I wish some (even vague) references to events in between were made to show what made the changes. I suppose the earthquakes and flooding count though. I would love to find another person’s collection, but I haven’t seen one on the Net. Anyone seen anything like that? I’d post them publicly, but I don’t really have my own site and don’t really have the desire to make one exactly yet. But I would like to share if folks have an interest in such things.
