Imps don't really have wings though. The GW1 versions are 100% more accurate, according to mythology. Compare both side by side, the only similarities are just the name implying it's an imp, when in reality looks more like a fiendish version of a demon, or maybe even a Gargoyles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW2 ones have bigger wings so they were given actual flying animations. Also a higher polygon count. And ice imps in GW1 have a beard. So clearly they're different, because beards. 29 minutes ago, SoulGuardian.6203 said: Imps don't really have wings though. The GW1 versions are 100% more accurate, according to mythology.

GW1 imps have wings too though, and imps having wings or not is not exactly details in mythology. Original imps are just small mischievous creatures. Exact appearance is never truly defined nor consistent. Edited August 1, 2022 by Konig Des Todes.2086 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that they fly in gw2. I was just stuck on that gw1 version of them being flightless creatures, even though they have wings-too small to carry their weight.

You made your point... whatever that may be. The point was that the same creature changed massively in design between the games. Just like the design (and the flight capability that was your point) for Imps changed, so did Trolls change how they look. There are many other life forms with drastically different designs as well. For examples, both Tengu and Druids in GW2 look very different to what they looked like in GW1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the gargoyles got killed off. kitten Ascalonians making fetishes out of their skulls ... I blame that traveling dude, Nick, for that. I mean, it was bad with all the skulls being ripped out and fashioned into weapons and armor, but Nick really put that practice over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really flight though. They jump while flapping their wings. That's hardly flying at all. It's a very very short hover at best... and I'm being generous, not to sound too contradicting. 5 hours ago, Konig Des Todes.2086 said: I rather miss the skale on steroids look that GW1 trolls had... I miss most of the creatures from gw1. Those molten titans are so kitten cool. So are margonites. Not very keen on them subterranean creatures you find in elona and far shiverpeaks though. Coincidencial that one of the is called imp. Now that's something that is quite out of place. But yeah. Dinosaurs. Bring back the dinosaurs. The velociraptors we have now are neither scary nor tough. I remember having to use unblockable skills each time I went to an area full of them. Can be quite nasty.... and that T Rex is a real nasty bugger.

Well, this could be part of Sylvari personal story. No, I'm thinking horrors from the Deep that Soo Won was apparently keeping at bay. The horrors that have been pushing Quaggan, Karka, and Largos to the surface waters. I want a GW2 version of Cthulhu to rise up and mind-kitten everyone. The Devs have dabbled in horror a little here and there, I would love a full horror inspired expansion or LW season, from start to finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'll ever go any further than barely scratching the surface, like they did in season 5, if they want to keep their age rating at 12. Given how EoD turned out, I also doubt that even writing something semi-terrifying is within the capabilities of the current developers.

I wouldn't mind if they brought back Tyannus and https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ceratadon if we visited some of the areas in GW2 tarnished coast/maguuma that we haven't been to before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
