There’s been some new stuff coming to light after yesterday’s massive, 2 GB client update, including updated maps of game zones and a set of icons suggesting some semblence of console support.
First, Reddit member Resilience dug through the BWE3 updated files to find images of what looks suspiciously similar to an Xbox 360 controller buttons. Could this be early preparation for a console release or perhaps just icons for a mini game or some other feature not yet unveiled? you decide!
But before that hit the public eye, that-shaman of Reddit posted several images of maps of the final zones of the game, which seem to have been acquired via data mining. The maps reveal some of the elements and size of the regions of Orr and a what could be spoilers for the final encounter on one of the images. Click only if you wish to proceed.

wats the maps ??? are they suppose to be ORR ???
@MattWiloWilson Yes these are the maps of Orr. The dragon cought on on of the maps standing on some kind of pilar/throne might either be Zaithan or one of his commanders
Seriously? He couldn't just wait a month until release, and instead leaks information which could possible ruin peoples expectations.
How could this possibly be a mini game??? A, b, x, & y are in completely different places. I see controller support. That's it. No console stuff...just support especially since there are oodles of threads all over the place.
And as for the maps....seriously HOW does that ruin anything. Looking @ a map is no different than looking at a skeleton of your future wife. You see the general structure, but the skin color, body, and face are still a mystery. The same for the maps. We don't know WHAT enemies will pop up, where chests or dynamic events will be...or even the boss (though I'm assuming the center). So don't get too excited of you see a map. You don't even know what you're viewing really.
@Nuu That is an excellent idea! I would really like to try out guild wars on a controller. I'm not sure how wonderful it would be but it would certainly make it fun to plug a controller into my laptop my laptop into the tv!
The hell?
1) If someone looks at leaks and has something ruined as result, it is is how -ing fault.
2) And how exactly this ruins anything?
should also keep in mind that the xbox 360 controller works on PC
@Martin O yep my guess is if they ever go for home use they would at least want to try it and give controler use to the PC and see what becomes of it.
@NickTucker I hope so! love using the controller!
