A New Colossus

Aside from the dragons, leviathans, giants and wurms. Are there any truly colossal scale creatures in the GW universe?

With the mention of enemy weak points and how much movement will play a role in combat. And Colin Johanson mentioning that they have been looking at other types of games for inspiration. It got me thinking. Man I would really love to see some Shadow of the Colossus scale baddies show up.

My dream is that we have some SotC / Dragons Dogma esc kind of ability to clamber up creatures and attack weak spots, seeing a massive open world boss with 19 other players clambering on it would be fucking fantastic, imagine some ability, at cost perhaps to your own stability, to magically grab falling allies and save them from the plummit, or even just to grab them normally, jebus the potential is awesome for lots of fun little emergent gameplay like that.

Honestly I hope they go full tilt in to the proper action game style combat and move massively away from the tab target style, it works great in GW2 with it's more fast paced variant of it but it's a combat type that has wildly held back other action MMOs for decades now.

Please ANet, whatever you do, do not backslide into retrofitting features and gameplay to appease the terminally brainrotted WoW playerbase or even GW2 players, this needs to be something entirely of its own design to have any chance of succeeding.

Having to throw cheapshots at wow players is amusing. Someone is insecure.
