Halloween feels so far away now, but we are now following through on the events that occurred prior to the Halloween patch. It all started with a shifty magic wall in Kessex Fields that not too many people noticed due to the festivities going on. Then the spell was broken following the annual Halloween extravaganza, and a giant tower was revealed in the middle of Viathan Lake. When ArenaNet revealed the news, they released a trailer with a different type of music than they usually do. Instead of orchestral and grand, they chose heavy metal. As a result many people disliked the trailer. Since then, ArenaNet has announced a contest for the community to make their own trailer for the tower's update using the same song they did. Prizes include Guild Wars 2 branded steelseries merchandise (mice, headphones, keyboards, etc.), and a grand prize of a Guild Wars 2 themed Sygnus Guitar, which I can only presume is a very high end guitar. The contest ends November 26th! As of right now I've only been able to track down two entrees that weren't complete garbage.
ORIGINAL (Not ArenaNet's channel, this is a copied upload from someone else):
ENTREE 1:
If you were wondering, this video is of various trailers and cutscenes ArenaNet made
that were sped up to better fit the tempo of the song. Lazy concept but works.
ENTREE 2:
Similar design to the previous entrant, but with one major difference, they added actual
footage of musicians playing the song and used strictly the footage from the original trailer.
Much more production and value.
So what do you guys think of this content? Are you going to participate in the contest and/or event?
