Hello everybody!
Inspired by /u/WoodenPotatoes video "Guild Wars 2 in 2009" I decided to take a closer look at one special DAT file I've archived and tried to find things that have been removed before launch.
To get things started I've extracted a large number of models, and tried to make them look pretty by manually shading them:
| Players and NPC | ||
|---|---|---|
| Female Sylvari | 1, 2, 3 | One of the original Sylvari designs, just an elf with glued on leaves |
| Male Sylvari | 1, 2, 3 | The male version with even less texture quality |
| Tengu | 1, 2, 3 | This model has been replaced by the blue Tengu (basically a reskin of the red) |
| . | ||
| Random Mobs and creatures | ||
| Fern hound | 1, 2 | Alternate take on the ranger pet |
| Juvenile ogre | 1, 2 | Less rugged version of an ogre |
| Stalker | 1, 2 | Scarecrow like plant being, vaguely resembling an enemy from GW1 |
| Kappa | 1 | A friendly looking fellow resembling an enemy from GW1 |
| Goblin | 1 | Long arms, sharp teeth |
| Green drake | 1 | Smooth skinned drake |
| . | ||
| Underwater creatures | ||
| Blue Leviathan | 1, 2, 3 | The largest blue monster you'll never encounter |
| Brown Leviathan | 1, 2, 3 | The largest brown monster you'll never encounter |
| Manta ray | 1, 2 | Large gliding beast |
| . | ||
| Orrians | ||
| Dragon | 1 | This dragon can be seen in the first trailer and on old Arah maps |
| Giant | 1, 2, 3 | Has been replaced by a much sleeker version |
| Boar | 1 | Not for consumption |
| Brute A | 1, 2 | Can be found in the 2009 Concept Art book |
Note: I've tried my best to verify that these are not in game (big thanks to /u/WoodenPotatoes for helping me out behind the scenes!), but if you do know where to find them please let me know!
Update These have been identified, thanks everybody!

ReplyDeleteFound out that it's unfinished Risen Abomination from personal story about storming and interrupting ritual of Abominations creating. Corpse is laying on the ground in place where we engage last group of monsters, it's not interactable.
