Mind Pointing them out insted of Croping an Already Used Picture?--Neil2250 , The Zoologist 13:57, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any other uploaded pic of the Colleges.--Naoroji 13:59, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, how can I add notes now, then? --Naoroji 14:03, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Just write it in Summary below the picture while Uploading, If you need more help, just ask me on my Talk page :) --Neil2250 , The Zoologist 14:08, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

'Reuploaded' and added notes. Better now? --Naoroji 14:12, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Yup,Thanks Naoroji ^_^ --Neil2250 , The Zoologist 14:14, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

What is the source of the information? How do you know the blue one is for synergetics? -- Cyan 14:16, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Rojja->Blue Clothes->Blue->C.O.S --Neil2250 , The Zoologist 14:17, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Zojja* --Amannelle 14:18, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Thats speculation. -- Cyan 14:19, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I call it Elementary, dear Watson/Cyan xDDD lol jk jk. Yep, it's speculation, but I think it sounds quite sensible, and the most harm that can happen from us speculating this is that we find out that our colors are off or something. ^_^ --Amannelle 14:26, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

(Directed at Cyan's first comment) There are three types of Golems in the second trailer. Yellow, Red and Blue. There are also three doorways in Rata Sum, each with their own colour. Yellow, Red and Blue. Zojja her clothes/armor are/is blue, the Golems she appears with on Concept arts and the like are blue, and her College is 'the College of Synergetics'. 1+1 = ? Sure, you can claim it's speculation. But then I'd claim it's just a logical conclusion. Which it is ;o. --Naoroji 14:31, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh Naoroji, "speculation" isn't an insult :D it means "a conclusion or opinion reached by contemplation", aka "a logical conclusion". ^_^ --Amannelle 14:33, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Its like Consult,it doesent mean Both Con and Insult :D --Neil2250 , The Zoologist 14:35, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Not necessarily Amannelle, speculation can still mean 'rumor' and 'complete wild guess', which this isn't ^^. But okay, I might've reacted too defensively, my apologies, Cyan. --Naoroji 14:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, I personally cannot say exactly how Cyan meant it, I was just going for the most literal term, in which case it means an educated guess or a logical conclusion. xD --Amannelle 14:39, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I see the text in the article is how it need to be, and thats all I wanted. No offense in my post above. -- Cyan 14:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

None taken =). --Naoroji 14:50, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) here in the background you can see a golem that has red gems and red circuitry, and here we see a golem with yellowish/whitish gems. The more I look for it, the more I realize these golems do indeed follow a pattern of either red, blue, or yellow. :) Good eye, Naoroji! -- Amannelle 18:15, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Well,... The best way to see the differences is to watch the Races of Tyria trailer and watch the Asura bit over and over again. Also, the one with yellow/white gems in the second screenshot you provided, I think is in fact one with blue gems but has weird lighting on it, but w/e. Thanks for supporting my analysis though =). --Naoroji 14:26, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Other picture, the same?

I'm sorry, but, where? And how? --Naoroji 16:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

It was just an understandable mistake. No, this picture was not already here, however, a very similar angle of this same location is here. However, that angle does not show the 3 colleges as such, and was simply mistaken for your picture. A perfectly understandable misconception. :) Don't worry, your pic is fine. -- Amannelle 18:10, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

That one was even from a different trailer, lol,... --Naoroji 18:15, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Counting the colors; locating all the golems

If you would be so kind as to click upon this, I shall walk you step by step through the various colors of the golems as seen in this trailer. :) Upon pausing at 2:22, you will (obviously) see Zojja and HER golem. Her armor is adorned with exuberantly splendid hues of cyan and azure. This color is also seen in the circuitry of her golem. Continue until 2:28, and upon pausing you will see 5 more blue-circuited golems, as well as a different type of golem with an unknown color (it seems to be faintly yellow, but I personally cannot tell). Now, notice one VERY important thing here! There is an Asura walking along who has goggles identical to that of Zojja; however, HIS are yellow as opposed to cyan.

Please continue on to 2:34, where on the stairways you will notice 2 blue-gem golems. From this point of view we now see what can be seen in this very picture: the 3 colleges. Please be sure to, upon continuing, pause at 2:38. There is a LOT going on at this point, and we don't want to overlook any of the details! :) You will see (going from left to right) an Asura upon the ledge. This asura also has yellow goggles. Continuing from left to right you will begin noticing the golems. There are 3 or so blue golems in view, as well as 4 red golems (1 red golem is behind another) and 2 yellow golems. At 2:41 we see mainly blue and yellow golems, as well as many sparks of blue lightning. (I do not know if color affects this, but it seems from the trailer that so far only yellow golems have used lightning, and red golems have used fire). Pause at 2:43 to see a variety of yellow, red, and blue golems. Continuing to 2:45 you'll see 2 more red golems, these ones resembling the previously seen yellow golems (with thinner central areas and bulkier arms).

Pause at 2:47 to get a very nice view of 2 red golems, 1 yellow golem, and 1 blue golem. Seeing as how these golems are fighting each other, it can be debated whether or not enemy npcs will be golems, or if these golems are simply training and practicing. At 2:49 you see 7 blue golems, and only 1 yellow golem. You see these 7 again at 2:54, making me wonder if there are some sort of "college activities" where you and other members of your college work together for a particular quest or mission. So there you have it: a small look-see at the 3 types of golems. Any further curiosities? I personally am wondering if the appearance of the golems varies on class or college. --Amannelle 18:43, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Extra note:

You notice the 3 colleges are red, blue, and yellow? Well, the 3 colors for color printing are Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow. I do not know if these 3 colors were chosen for some similar reason, but I thought it interesting of a techie race to basically use those 3 colors. ^_^ --Amannelle 18:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I think that those three were chosen because they had three colleges, they needed three colours, and there just so happen to be only three primary colours,... xD. Don't overthink stuff! =P --Naoroji 11:42, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

xD but overthinking is what makes life fun!! xD Lol yay for paranoia! xD --Amannelle 13:02, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Candidate for deletion

Kk, I trust you guys have made the right call. However, I still think these are the three colleges, so I still want it to be saved 'till it gets confirmed (or 'busted'). So, anyone know how to move a pic to your personal userspace? --Naoroji 11:44, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

You want the picture in your personal space? Let's see if Im able to do that for you.. -- Cyan 12:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

I think you have to upload it again in your namespace. -- Cyan 12:32, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

And exactly how does one do that? I tried it with the pic in my sig, but it didn't really,... Work,... --Naoroji 14:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

How handy that one can watch how others do it on Wiki's,... It's fix'd. Nvm =). --Naoroji 14:24, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
