User BerkaSherka recently posted a number of images on Imgur site from this past weekend’s Beta Event. What’s fantastic about these images is that they are of Rata Sum…from the outside! The Asuran Capitol is a magnificent site from the ground, but there’s even more to love. An Asura gate at the bottom of the city’s base leads to an area titled the Polymock Arenas. While suitably Asuran, there are no clues as to what this area might be used for in the future. Who knows what those little geniuses are up to….
Make sure to check out the screenshots and let us know in the forums what discoveries you found during your stay in Tyria.
"While suitably Asuran, there are no clues as to what this area might be used for in the future."
Actually, Polymock is a minigame that you could play in Rata Sum in the original Guild Wars (Eye of the North).
Check out http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Polymock for more details.
My guess it'll be something similiar, possibly on a larger scale, most likely in the form of a minigame like they did with "Keg Brawl".
@gobosworld " It has been stated in an interview that it feels like "Pokémon on steroids". "
Ok, now I'm intrigued....
@gobosworld Thanks a ton for this info! I've never played the original (I know shame on me), So i didn't even think to check that. I know I had a ton of fun with Keg Brawl, so now I'm looking forward to this even more...
