Guild Wars 2

Okay, so I’m not the best at math but because a recent conversation with guildies about Kralk’s size, I started working on this.

Kralk’s size is “A thousand feet tall” and he is described as being 20 times larger then glint.

Taking these statements as factual, Thousand feet tall is roughly 300 meters, and both divided by 20 come out to around the same size. 49-50 feet taller, or 15 meters tall. That makes Glint taller then Tequatl the sunless.

Obviously it doesn’t match her GW1 appearance, but many scale factors have been tweaked since then. (I’ve heard something like the buildings are now properly sized with doors and all, but the actual world map is slightly smaller or something?) But overall, I’m curious if we have anything we can work on to figure out her rough size?

I would definitely agree that she probably is much bigger than she was in Guild Wars 1. I mean, the biggest enemy we ever got back then was Abaddon in Nightfall, and even he is small compared to any of the world bosses we have in Guild Wars 2.

Prophecies is the oldest Guild Wars game, and they were quite limited in both resources and in what their engine was capable of.
Besides, there’s this image of her and Destiny’s Edge:

It looks like the distance from the tip of her snout to her eye is roughly equal to Eir’s height. Allegedly, many norn are around 9 Feet tall, but I’m not sure that ever truly matches up with what we see in game. Still, this would put her head alone at at least three metres – and with Glint, her head is actually quite small compared to the rest of her body (she has quite a slender build, with a long, snake-like neck).

And while it’s true that basing this off of concept art only might not be too accurate, but at the very least it can confirm that she is supposed to be much bigger than what we’ve seen of her previously.

1000 / 20 = 50 feet. 1 foot is 30 centimeters, meaning 50 * 30 = 1500 centimeters, 100 centimeters = 1 meter, so 15 meters. Jip seems to check out.
Rule of thumb (as least where I’m from is that a storey is around 3 meters so a 5 storey / level building). Pretty big though.
