And Larion Studios predated Arena Net with their flying physics with their game, "Divine Divinity 2." Try it out. When you turn into a dragon and fly around, you get the same distortions when diving, etc. Oh, and you'll have to add Wildcard to that list -- they incorporated a fan-made gryphon mount creature into their game that ALSO has the SAME speed distortions. Although, I'm not sure on the timing; I'm pretty sure the inclusion predates the Path of Fire expansion. If you're going to charge WoW of plagarism, you'll have to include GW2 in that list as well. Let me put it another way. . . Anet's resources for a legal team are | | this big. Blizzard's legal resources for a legal team are | _______________________ | this big. For those who don't get the visual comparison here: Blizzard's resources VASTLY outweigh Anet's. They're more than capable of consulting with their legal department and figuring out what is going to get them in legal trouble. Yup. There are only so many ways of making an increase of speed feel visceral to an outside viewer who can't feel inertia. Manga and anime have been using things like speed lines for DECADES. And that doesn't take into account how many games, videos, and other visual media all blur areas just out of central focus for things like increased movement. I played at least two games prior to Path of Fire that had the same diving mechanic as GW2 gryphon. I thought nothing of it. And you can't copyright barrel rolls. If you wanted to try, I'm pretty sure nature, or at least the Wright Brothers started that first. Or contrails. Can't copyright those either. Or physics. Because momentum exists for everybody. Hell, I read a book that predates MMOs that literally describes the way that GW2 gryphons work using characters. . . . WITH GRYPHON CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if the books were the inspiration for it. The thing that gets me most about this thread is that instead of applauding and hoping that WoW's player base enjoys something new and different that is being added to a VERY old game (so much spaghetti code!), instead you have a subset of players screaming bloody murder and grabbing pitchforks as if Arenanet invented the concept of flight itself. That barrel roll you see in the clip for Wow? Yeah, that's not the same thing as the Skyscale. Wow doesn't have an evasion system to avoid taking damage the same way GW2 does, so it is literally impossible to be the same thing. From the video, it looks like A) it's a fun graphic, or B) it's a mechanic to increase momentum or energy. tl;dr: I honestly thought that the GW2 community was better and more generous than this. Turns out I was wrong.

He wasny the strongest on his own accord. Its all about who holds magic. We might not see something "as powerful" but we will prob still see powerful villains that need beating. I expect that aurene will assume her role and go to sleep? She won't need to sleep because her whole purpose is to take magic and recycle it, not gobble it down and hoard it. The Elder Dragons would devour all of the magical energy, and overstuffed, they'd pass out like relatives at a Thanksgiving dinner. Aurene isn't doing the same thing. Also, there are three other elder dragons who are a threat.

Pleaaaasseeeee, spoil it.

Since that's the popular theory it's very easy to just bait everyone into thinking that :) Personally I'm not so sure anymore. But there are a couple other suspicious things, like not giving us the name of the map. @"Urud.4295" said:Very nice trailer, I liked it!And thanks for the confirmation: death is not the end, but a new beginning... Aurene is gonna be awakened \0/ I think Aurene's death has transformed her into something beyond. Like Glint, she has entered a state beyond life and will play her part from there. She will never be revived and will never really be our Aurene again. She has gone past us. Idk, it might be. But I remember that we destroyed the Glint's spear to avoid that Balthazar killed Kralk. We kept saving Kralk until we found the plan of the Exalted to replace him with Aurene. Killing him now, without her, would be quite lame. Unless some other new plan would come up, obviously. I shall absorb the power! As commander, I believe I have the strength of will to survive it. It is only the dark energy of three elder dragons and an insane god. ANET ANNOUNCES: Expansion 3: Reign of TerrorYou must fight the assembled forces of charr, sylvari, human, norn and asura to make the world your own while simultaneously surviving the machinations of the three remaining elder dragons.I have been very angry with what they have done to Aurene, but your sense of humor has kept me smiling. Thank you. Honestly, I'm not going to the mists to defeat Kralkatorrik; I'm going to get my dragon back.

Would Anet be willing to add a fourth page so that players could add their own Requiem stories/art to the website? It feels like there is a big gaping hole where the Commander's reaction should go.

I honestly think that the mount would be good if they tweak the rate of altitude decay so that it doesn't disappear as fast. Now, the real question is if they're going to release an Aurene skin.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Sadly, the preview of the skyscale makes it even worse. I dearly hope they re-scale the mount for charr -- in the livestream the mount was the same size across the board, which means that the one charr character was way too big for the mount. At least the raptor looks reasonable.

I'm extremely disappointed. I was going to buy it until I saw it had the male outfit on my female charr. I like symmetrical outfits, and I really liked the drape along the bottom for the female outfit. Instead, it looks like another jacket on a female charr. Yet ANOTHER jacket.
