Ok I can get that people didnt like bugs in the last update, but nothing is perfect, but people really need to create 1000 threads about the same thing? Devs are working hard for fixes for sure!
Anyway, I just wanted to thank Anet for the living story. Its great to have an update each two weeks for free. The story was nice, I liked it, and it was fun to polemize with other people and guess how it can continue next week. Especially after wintersday it was kittening exciting
Another thing I love on living story are NPCs, how they interact with each other. For example Heal O tron at vigil keep And many others. It absolutely livens the whole world. I also love how everything is so monumental. Tower of nightmares, The kite city, The Breachmaker, etc. these things are just kittening epic!
Keep up the great work Anet! Now we will face another elder dragon..honestly I cant wait!

Finally a wardrobe! Anyone remember “why a skin wardrobe should be a high priority” thread? It was the best suggestion on the forum, most people liked it and it was bumped for one year or more. There were no answers for anet and that really made me cry..now they did it! kitten yes anet thank you! now lets hope its done properly and will be actually useful

Zhaitan is very, very huge. I ripped dragon models (with textures) from gw2.dat and animated them in Cinema 4D; that picture of Tequatl’s and Zhaitan’s size on wiki is my render. If you guys want more renders of Zhaitan in comparison with other dragons (or with an airship we are fighting on with Zhaitan), you can tell me.
That model is really beautiful. Its really a pity that we cant see Zhaitan very well in the game. After his death, they could make an instance where we can walk on him or something like that, that would be wonderful
BTW: the model’s wingspan on wiki render is 446 metres. In comparison, model of human from game data is 190cm tall, The Bifrost is 205 cm tall and an asura is 124 cm tall (4 ft.) (from wiki: “an asura is usually about four feet tall”), so it sounds like its a real size.
Comparison images would obviously be great, but I’m wondering..
I’m an illustrator and I’ve been trying to draw Zhaitan for quite a long while, and I’m having problems with some areas of him I just cannot find good reference images of. If you were to post closeup images of his right and left hands, as well as that weird area where his lower jaw should be and how that works, I would be eternally grateful. It’s just not easy to tell how his hands exactly look, and the in-game model has a blinding light coming out of his mouth that obscures everything.
I’m also a bit curious – is Zhaitan’s original model still floating around in the games data files anywhere, or did they yank it out entirely? Hmm. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that it was in at some point due to it being visible on some old maps.
Oh, by the way, someone yanked Drakkar out of Guild Wars 1. Scroll down a bit.

He mentions further down how he got it out of the game.
I can render these parts and send it to you, no problem
the only bad thing is, I couldnt find textures of “snakes” coming from his mouth, so I can render you them only in grey colour.
Thanks for searching for it. Yeah, I found that too, I writed that guy and he told me how to rip it. However, that program is very unreliable…it rips everything around you and saves it, but its drastically deformated, you cant get the right measure, so I gived up with that.
Here are Zhaitans comparisons with other dragons and Glory of Tyria. Luckily, I found Shadow of the Dragon model, but havent rigged it (that takes a little bit long time), so the wings arent standing up like at other dragons. Unfortunately, I still havent found Pact normal airship model:/. However, I found something very special and interesting, and here is the render of it as a bonus!
anyone recognize this creature? (3rd picture) Hint: it can be seen in one of trailers

Wow, if that’s the case my estimate should’ve been doubled. Any chance you could produce a comparison with one of the Pact’s normal airships? There’s one of those sitting at Fort Trinity, so it’d be easy to extrapolate from there what he’d be like in comparison to the player.
Also, really good work on that first picture! At the time you put it up on the wiki I was in the middle of fretting over how to figure out Zhaitan’s scale. It made my whole week!
Thanks! I havent found normal airship model yet, but Im searching for Shadow of the dragon now, so if I find that ship, il upload it here. Right now I can only render comparison with the bigger one. Will post it tomorrow!
Meteorlogicus still looks poor as hell. They removed the trail omg why??
I loved it very much! I was hoping it will gain MORE effects than just footsteps, like spell effects! For example Dragon tooth which would look like it is dropping from a cloud (silly idea but you know what I mean), better arc lightning effect or something noticeable.. Its still very innoticeable weapon! Look at Dreamer, even blind person can see those ponies everywhere, Twilight huge trails…
kitten , Anet just dont like Meteorlogicus for sure…
Or maybe they will suprise us and wont tell us all the effects they want to add?
