Guild Wars 2

Yesterday they changed the Jungle wurms skin. Today seems they’re back to normal. Anyone met those red glowy wurms yesterday? Why they changed and now turned back to the old skin?

Maybe an unintended sneak peak of something we’ll be seeing soon?

There’s a thread in the Living World forum monitoring the changes already. It sounds like a forthcoming change leaked through too early and it reverted in the last hotfix last night.

I saw them yesterday, in Sparkfly Fen, and people in my guild saw them in TA as well.

My guess, based on the fact that it was an undocumented change that was removed quickly is that they weren’t supposed to change at all. This new appearance is intended for a new kind of wurm, or they’re going to change later on in a way that ties in with the storyline, and the skin got put into the game by accident.

The other possibility is that it’s part of the Current Events stuff, which has included a lot of weird effects. It was deliberated changed and then reverted to simulate a temporary effect on our characters. But if that’s the case I have no idea what it means or how it ties into any of the other stuff we’ve been doing.

The new skins doesn’t make sense for the current wurms. They the new models have feet for crawling around but that is not how the wurms currently move about. Also they don’t look right when they aren’t attacking.

Wooden Potatoes talks about it.
