Ok so lets say they raise the cap to 60? What if it's 4 million exp (just an example number) and your char already has 4 mill exp? Do you become lvl 60 automatically?

Your characters are not transferring over.. you cannot bring them to GW2 and use them.

Birthday soon and ill get my PC up if i need better for GW2...
Windows Me
320~mb ram
Radeon 8XXX
1 ghz
and gw1 runs on it, but not THAT good. if i need a pc with 2+ghz, 1giga ram and radeon 9XXX id start save money now <.<

ATi names their current cards with an X and its followed by a low number. The 9000 series is barely Direct X 9 let alone direct X 10. Your looking at x1000 series etc not the 9k series. Or you could look at Nvidia Cards. ANything in the 7k series wil be fine. But yeah.. you will Definately need a new computer for Guildwars two.... That thing is really old and will not play any new games from today let alone two years from now.

I'm not pleased with this at all. So Anet are basically throwing what made GW unique and making a more generic mmorpg just without a monthly fee?

This quote especially angers me. If she had read the forums she'd know that the loyal fans don't want grind, don't want a high level cap and many fans actually wish anet has taken the extra step to just have removed levels altogether.

Chances of me going any near GW2 dropped drastically.

Shame on all you people going /WTF, /BY CROM, /SHIT.

have some kind of hope for Anet.

bubbadoll · Mar 21, 2007, 12:29 AM // 00:29

hmm..

i'm not sure what it is that i'm feeling...

i feel excited about GW2 but at the same time.. stunned.

Why should i keep playing now... if basically i lose what i've worked for.. ie.. characters.
but then again.. all the money(real) and time i spent playing this game.. buying all 3 chapters.. and EXTRA character slots! ffs!

I guess i'll have to wait to find out exactly what these "many benefits" are... *sigh*
Dont get me wrong... i love gw.. and will keep playing but.. just at this moment .. "Nurse! meds!"

xshadowwolfx · Mar 21, 2007, 12:29 AM // 00:29

quit whining guys...we don't know how they are going to implement the level cap and they still plan to keep it subscription free which was GW's main attraction. Who says there will be major grind involved...Take a deep breath and speculate / discuss without flaming or calling for the doom of Guild Wars. Hey, I'm excited by GW:EN and look forward toward GW2. Its still far away, probably another year until the beta test.

Can't wait for the hall of monuments, hehe it'll be nice to keep titles. Money, ble its fine.

enjoy

Longasc · Mar 21, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Looks like ANet reinvented the Asia grinder! Thought there was already Lineage 2.

Guess there will be no subscription fee, but an ingame item shop...

Wydras · Mar 21, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Look, GW2 isn't going to be coming out for 2 years. A lot can change in that time frame. They are still making the game. Give them some time. Wait and see what happens.

sean wolf · Mar 21, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

wait, i heard that we cant transfer our previous characters in the new game, if this is true...... DID I JUST WASTE MY TIME?!?!?!?

Sasuke The Betrayer · Mar 21, 2007, 12:32 AM // 00:32

Stop talking about how it's "losing what made Guild Wars unique". I mean, what the hell's the problem? Everyone's been talkign about how GW Is crap without replayability, and then when it gets implemented you guys slap it right out? That makes no sense! You guys haven't even played, and I for one am EXTREMELY excited.

I don't get this, what's the point if it doesn't last forever stuff?

Yea, but did I spend over 1,000 hours watching that movie? Or eating that ice-cream? I never would play any Mmo if I knew that it would not last much longer. Simply put, it is different with an online game and you can't compare it to a 2 hour movie.

Gaile is 100% right dude.

The increased cap does in fact increase PvE replayability a lot, and if it doesn't directly affect gameplay like you have to be level 95 or something to complete the last mission in the expansion, then increasing the level cap is a great idea.

xshadowwolfx · Mar 21, 2007, 12:32 AM // 00:32

So, anyone wanna talk about GW:EN?

How did all those tunnels appear? Did the dwarves build them? If so how come we don't know...did the dwarves forget themselves or kept it a secert?

All right, I'm about to do a massive clean up of this thread. Please keep your comments constructive, on topic and contributing. Do not spam, post one-liners or engage in flamewars or leave insulting comments (whether to another person or the community as a whole) in your posts.

To all those complaining about the raised level cap...

A higher level cap simply does not mean that a level 100 is better than a level 30.

It does not mean that you have to grind to be "competetive".

It does not mean that your level 33 Warrior will have a problem getting into a party where the predominant levels are much higher (well, unless you use the GW2 equivalent of Mending, that is

)

ANet has done a great job of introducing high demand items that are no better in function than other, easier to obtain items. If you WANT to grind for those higher demand items (certain Green drops, rare weapon skins, FoW armor etc...) you are welcome to, but not having them will in no way affect your ability to play the game at the same level as someone who has all of it and then some.

This model can easily be used regarding levels. If at say, level 30, you stop gaining attribute points (if there even is such a thing in the new game) but continue to grow in other ways (ranks, titles, whatever) then there is opportunity for those who like to grind and earn the hard-to-get stuff that is in no way detrimental to those who simply don't want to or do not have the time to do it themselves.

Simply put, a higher level cap can mean many different things. It does not have to equate to higher level = more powerful character. Think outside the box. ANet does.

No you did not. Guild Wars is A GAME. Games are time wasters. Every game you've played "wasted your time". You enjoyed GW, didn't you? Therefore you really didn't waste any time. GW did what a game was meant to do: entertain.

I kind of have that sick feeling in my stomach as well...

Zinger314 · Mar 21, 2007, 12:33 AM // 00:33

This forums are strange. I speak negatively toward GW2 in the previous thread, I get flamed and called a WoW fanboy. Now, everyone in this thread is detesting GW2. I don't understand people.

Anyways, GW2 is too late. We have about 3+ WoW-style games going to be released in 2007 (LotRO, WAR, AoC, off the top of my head). GW2 will be too late to make an impact. Even if GW2 has no monthly fee.

Artkin · Mar 21, 2007, 12:34 AM // 00:34

so GW2 in 2 years.....why shouldn't I just go play WoW now?

I mean WTH....all my chars are going to be USLESS anyway

Replayability is gained through actual content. Not by raising the number of levels you need to gain before hitting max.

It makes no difference to me if my level doesnt get any higher as long as the content keeps me entertained. If the content is boring, it doesnt make it any more fun to watch my level go up.

sakura75 · Mar 21, 2007, 12:34 AM // 00:34

1) New monthly payment >> Two thumbs up!!
2) New races >> Don't care. I love playing human race, since I can imagine myself as that character. May be I lack imagination to think myself as an elf or whatsoever. But I am open to new things as well as trying new races.
3) Higher level caps >> I am open for it, as long as it does not mean grinding. Let's give Anet a chance how to implement this higher level cap. GW2 will be a new game so may be there is a new leveling system. Let's wait and see how this turns out.
4) No character transfer from GW1 >> This one breaks my heart. I have created several characters and 4 of them will turn 2+ years really soon. Loved to play those characters and it would be a shame not to be able to transfer them into GW2. I don't need/want to transfer armor or items into GW2, just please allow us to transfer name, profession and look to GW2. Items/weapons or armor can be purchased in GW2. I just don't want anyone to steal my character's name!
5) PvP/GvG system >> GW2 is a new game, I will keep an open mind for new things.

One advice. Get rid of titles, please. I prefer playing with people who knows me by name instead of by rank. Some rankless players are more fun to play with than some ranked players.
I remember a guildie saying over Vent:
'Let's invite this guy into our group.'
'What rank is he?' was the answer.
'Don't know, but I faced him in HoH and we danced together on the altar naked for 6 minutes (this were in the era that HoH lasted 10 min.) and then we fighted each other. That was fun.'
This player was invited into the group and we really had fun!
