Talk:Eye of the North (outpost)

From Guild Wars Wiki

Huh?? This is the hall of monuments. Unless ive missed something, Eye of the North is not a building brains12 16:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

It's a building, too - that was said more or less recently in one of the interviews with Arena Net (see the link on the article itself). It states that the Hall of Monuments is actually inside the Eye of the North itself, and that this is the biggest building ever designed for GW. Erasculio 16:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Glint

Considering this tower shows visions, perhaps it is conected with Glint in some way? Maybe it's even the source of her power? --Vinria Karok 00:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

considering I haven't played Prophecies (although I want to very badly), I can't be sure. However, from the wiki article, it would seem that Glint has the power to see future events. Thhe scrying pool in the Eye of the North is just that - a scrying pool. That means it allows you to spy on people at the current moment, not see into the future. --«troy frostwind» 19:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] town

uh, why the hell town? it's a tower, not a city. - Y0_ich_halt 18:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Because that's what the preview weekend tells us. Backsword 18:09, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) It's a structure, but also the town by game mechanics definition of the Far Shiverpeaks. --Santax (talk · contribs) 18:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

sneak peak map this is where the info is from I think. --Lemming

(Reset indent) What does its an outpost now mean? o_O - BeX 08:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Towns have bigger, prettier icons like LA. Outposts have smaller icons, like Beacon's.

Sorry I hadn't noticed the last game update. I know the difference between the icons. :P - BeX

I do want to know why they changed it from a city to a town. Both the Asura capital and the Norn capital are cities (I'm not sure about dwarves), so shouldn't the human capital of the far shiverpeaks be a city, too? --«troy frostwind» 19:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Region

Are we sure this is Far Shiverpeaks? An important place like this could well have it's own region. Would explain the seemingly double towns. Is there any other source than the map? Backsword 08:30, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean by "other than the map"? An image like this one where you can see 2 cities in the far shiverpeaks region (gunnar's hold where the green point is and EotN just south of that) isn't enough to convince you? Chriskang 09:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

No, it's not. As there have been a rule of no more than opne town per region, multiple ones require stronger evidence. Anyway, should resolve on the preview weekend if not earlier. Backsword 15:58, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

And what is a stronger evidence than a map where you can see 2 yellow dots? Chriskang 18:10, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

The game's not released yet, let's wait and see.

The official map poster poster released yesterday only has one town there, Eye of the North. --Valshia 16:48, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

With the update reducing Eye of the North from a town to an outpost, the map that came with the game is wrong :o --«troy frostwind» 19:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Note

"If you look directly above the Eye of the North outpost, the sky will be a purplish black, when you go inside and look up, the sky looks more like a black hole. It is also rumored that this has happened in many places over the last year or so." Or.. maybe its just because it's night? And what rumours? brains 12 19:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)Edit: it looks more like the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) to me, and since it is the far north, that would make more sense. brains 12 19:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
