Le fichier DAT de Guild Wars n'en fini plus de recracher des infos sur des fonctionnalités non-implémentées. Cette fois-ci les joueurs ont découvert des descriptifs de marqueurs de carte non-implémentés qui semblent avoir été prévus pour Nightfall.
Pour rappel pour les débutants c'est Nightfall qui a marqué l'apparition des marqueurs de carte indiquant les collectionneurs et les sanctuaires de résurrection. Eh oui, avant il fallait faire sans et utiliser sa petite tête pour mémoriser où se trouvait le collectionneur de griffres d'hydres deséchées donnant un focus perfect pour moine heal, ou autre.
Apparement le système de marqueurs de Nightfall devait être bien plus évolué au départ et ajouter également des marqueurs décrivant les points d'intéret des cartes et villes visitées par le joueur au cours de son exploration rendant le titre d'explorateur d'autant plus interressant pour les PvEistes et Rôlistes (puisque permettant d'apprendre des choses sur l'univers et le monde du jeu).
La plupart des endroits décrits par ces marqueurs peuvent être aisément retrouvés en jeu et le nom de certains sont même indiqués durant des quêtes. Mais d'autres semblent faire également référence à des endroits qui ne sont pas dans le jeu final. Parmis ces lieux : Kormir's Ascension, The Spider's Heart*, Abaddon's Dead Children et Shrine of the Traitors...
*Apparement le dieu des araignée existait avant les 6 dieux...
