Guild Wars Sequel, Expansion Plans

:/ I'm not sure what to think of this. Thoughts in reply.

Guild Wars.

I'm so conflicted about you.

On the one hand, you are really beautiful, and pretty clever. But on the other hand, you are not what you said you would be.

It's definitely not an easily accessible game - at least Prophecies/Factions - because the more you play, the more time you must invest, especially if you want to fully experience the content. However, there is no fallback - no real reward to solo-ing. Once the campaign is done, there isn't much more to do.

So much time to be invested in the game. Hunting for loot and crap...that is not something I like. You promised you wouldn't be like that. YOU PROMISED. :( You promised there would be no grind, but then you force me to redo instance after instance to capture skills. Then you force me to collect faction.

And worst of all...you make me trade with those bloody plebian jackanapes for things I don't have!

I like GW in its current state, for the most part. Sure thay could stand to move it away from its Diablo roots (since GW is basically Diablo 3) with better AI, more cinematic cutscenes, making better use of the instances, etc., but the game is fine.

The increased level cap does not sound all that good as I hate level grinding and I say just ditch levels entirely. The instancing is fine by me but like I said earlier I wish they would take advantage of it to do some more cinematic things. Like blowing up a bridge or other level altering events. The heroes could stand to have a little more personality and definately must have some better AI. As for new racesm who cares? The furries can go yiff-off in other games and dwarves/elves suck due to overuse.

The lack new classes must be due to balancing and art creation issues. All the armor sets they have to create most cost a furtune in time and labor. Trying to balnce ten plus classes also is a pain. More is not always better.

I hope with GW2 they do add additional classes from time to time & start off with all the classes we have now.

Man, I really hope they give you more armor/weapon options... When I was playing, I got my character up to level 15 or so (been a while so I can't remember exactly) with the armor you start the game with. WTF?!?!

What engine are they using the for the sequel? Are they going Unreal3?

That settles it then, I just reinstalled Guild Wars...gonna buy Nightfall tonight...

I think it's a good thing that they finally realized how to please both PvE and PvP players.

PvE players want high levelcaps, large open worlds and loads of different items.

PvP players want fixed levelcaps and all skills unlocked so that the fights can be as balanced as possible.

Daniel motherfucking Dociu. That is all. :[

Man, gw2 seems to take everything I like about gw and add even more stuff that sounds cool. Can't wait.

A Nordic theme perhaps?


Not so sure about the non-existant (or really high) level cap for GW2. I thought the lack of grind was the primary motive for GW's success.
