Guild Wars 2

Just sayin. Dudes are advertisin that the new map is “metal”. The skulls and fire, yes. Karka, no. If you wanted “metal”, should gone for undead, demons, or dragons (dragons are more 80s metal, nowadays).

But it is lore appropriate to find karka there.

They are some of the most ‘metal’ things under the sea…probably.

Surely they’d rust?

They’re definitely closer to rock-n-roll.

I see what you did there.

/does NOT order “karka rolls” at sushi bar

Most metal word in the English language is “burn”. This is supported by science. ( No really, Google it, it’s hilarious. )

Well, closer to rock-n-roll than Scarlet’s Tower of Nightmares…

By the Bear, I will never forget that trailer.

Perhaps, this: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/ember-bay-behind-the-scenes/

I enjoyed it; I hope there’s another ‘Frame by frame’.

Ah I see, I was wondering what this was about.

On the other hand, that one dev looks like he should be in Powerman 5000. If so, this could be the reason why his image of “metal” is slightly skewed.

I’m guessing you are referring to Josh, one of my favorite Devs. =)

Though, not looking forward to his latest ‘killer’ Jumping Puzzle. Lol.

Karka rock dude or dudette! So yeah, they’re pretty “metal”!

Baby karka are hardcore “metal” too because they jump all in yo face!

KARKA

IST

KRIEG

I dunno, there is something Lovecraftian about the Karka.

The original GW1 version had some undead, and a few creatures that could be construed as demons or possibly dragon-kin. Newer incarnations of them might still be there:

https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Flesh_Golem_ – technically an Abomination, but basically undead
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Lava_Imp – a small demonlike creature
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mahgo_Hydra – might be related to dragons

Karka are brutal, resilient kitten masters that will destroy you and proceed to roll about atop your corpse and grind your remains into a fine paste to strengthen their exoskeleton.

There you go. Karka are metal now. Take a seat.

Karka vs. Quaggan

I’d say its monstrous attribute over quaggans fits the bill just fine. They could’ve also had Krait and Largos, but ehh… anything that’s not a quaggan works.

Maybe Karka are more ‘Alternative Rock’. And how about Skritt? ‘Metal’ or more ‘Comic Operetta’? =P

What dudes? Are they the Trustees of the Metalheads Academy of Arts?

Evidently, ‘Dudes’ is the new term for Devs. Lol.

Dude!

Duuuuuuuuude! Josh is definitely metal. I salute him with my black Jackson six string axe of shredding! Not looking forward to a brutal JP though…

Karka are ok but I NEED TO SEE SOME HYDRAS!!!

Just as long as there are the old Hydra enemies that were there in gw1 then I am happy, if not…….Karka? What, heck no!

Stormcrow.7513:

Doh I didn’t see your post before I replied, and yes if there are no Hydra I should say they are doing GW1 injustice, injustice I say!

Here. Karka is now metal.

Dude! Where’s my karka?!?

For an embarrassingly long time, I thought they were called Mango Hydras.

Someone probably just spelled “meta” wrong.

Nope it is definitely metal , watch the video \m/_ ( ) _\m/

I don’t have karka pegged as metal. I think creepy crustaceans are the unsettling embodiment of dissonant pizzicato, ergo:

The new map could be metal, though. But I’m initially going with:

Would’ve included the version with the FedNet march at the start (for our purposes, renamed the ANet march), but the jumping puzzle description suggests I shouldn’t get too prideful.

:( Tried to find a SFW version, but I can’t, but really no reference to Dethklok-Murmaider? Gotta love that silly cartoon, silly but certainly Metal.

Underwater metal creatures? Something like this:
