“None will ever hear her true name spoken properly”—-this is part of the caption from the Facebook post they made linking the same picture

What’s everyone’s take on this? Everything points to glint, but this throws me off.. glint is formerly known as glaust and has gone by no other names.. the only argument is to say they are referring to kralkatorrik. The problem with this is glint Is only a champion of
kralkatorrik, and is no way her “proper name”

So that throws me off a little. Any thoughts?

Edit:I’m still convinced it’s glint, but why do you think they included that line ?

Yea I mean it’s definitely Glint legend for Revenant. Roy retweeted it saying “HYPE” which means it’s got to be Revenant related :P

When I read that extra sentence of facebook my initial impression is they were referring to her previous name as Glaust. But then the word “properly” throws me off bit, like has everyone been pronouncing her name wrong or something :P. They might be teasing some additional lore we’re getting in HoT or maybe I just don’t know something really obvious?

It’s also possible they thought it sounded cool and actually has no significant meaning.

it’s possible glint existed before her corruption by Kralkatorik. if so, her names may have been:

True name —-corrupted-→ Glaust —-freed-→ Glint.

just a thought

I could be wrong but was it not implied somewhere in GW2 that she was a corrupted dragon as opposed to simply being created? Like dialogue saying she regained free will, as opposed to just gained?

I doubt they are doing another revenant announcement. If so, they have a horrible marketing group. It’s a bit of a groan at this point with the amount of revenant stuff lately.

it’s totally the revenant. that’s got glint written all over it, and doesn’t fit at all with any other class. why is this even in doubt?

I think the problem here is, no one has that attachment to the revenant, like we do our base class’s

I’m hyped for the rev. Don’t get me wrong. But with out many elite specs we have yet to go, it’s understandable to see where this is coming from

I’ll use me as an example , so I’m not to speak for everyone, but

I have 1000 hours or so on my ranger alone, over 3 thousand total in the game.

I’ve grown attached to my class! I’m so excited to see how my ranger is going to grow, much more so then to see how the new class works, simply because it doesn’t mean as much to me. I care for my ranger, what happens to the class. The mechanics, will we finally see pets fixed? Adjusted? Will some of our worries with the class be answered? That’s what I care about ! ( in terms of elite specs, hard core group content is #1 for me) but that’s what I want to see.

I’m not speaking for everyone , but I’d be very surprised if the warrior mains, engi mains, thief mains, didn’t feel the same. That’s just my take on this =)

thief main here, I totally agree with this, and find the timing to be a bit crappy, but I really don’t see how anyone can doubt that it is a revenant announcement. there’s really no room for reasonable doubt.

Oh I agree completely about it being glint. I was talking solely about the complaints of another rev. Announcement, we are on the same page!! =)

kinda cool that rev get main hand shield since its on his left hand, I guess since you clearly see his right arm no shield there

Aw c’mon, really? You’re gonna let the war in the thief sub-forum continue on like this?

Okay, it’s cool that we’re getting another elite spec reveal, but seriously I need to know what the thief elite is going to be!

How you believe the Warriors feel?

How do you think rangers feel? Ours was the first elite spec that anet announced, but we still have zero information about the druid other than “druids will use a staff”.

Knowing Anet, the druid reveal will be dead last.

watch that not be true anymore. wouldn’t it be funny if they got rifle?

Ummmm… Revenant’s the new class though. Compared to all the other classes who have been here since the beginning, and the fact that we don’t know every single detail about the Revenant yet, it kind of deserves the right to be talked about more often, lol.

Like I said… a horrible move on the ANET marketing department. The trick is to build excitement between now and launch. A smarter move would have been to balance the current trait lines and then add in the elite spec. With the announcement of the elite spec now, what is left to hype?

They should have discussed a different class this week. I’m personally sick of hearing about the revenant.

I don’t mind hearing more about the revenant, but it’s the only class without a following 3 years in the building. I’d say it’s the elite that had the least hype behind it (most of the hype concerned the base class, not the spec) and it would have been much better to post any of the others, espescially thief or warrior, who have the least info.

We need the thief’s elite spec already. Please let that be the next one in line.
