Curse

So, I've seen a lot of threads about people getting ready for GW2. I was wondering about some reasons why other people were excited for it. It is about two years away, and we have a lot to go through before then.

So I ask, why are you pumped for Guild Wars 2?

My reasons:
- the community might reset, and politness and courtesy will rise up again. (Think back to Xmas '05 and remember that)
- new characters, new story, new new new!!
- seeing what will happen to Ascalon. Will it be still destroyed, or has 200 years taken its tole and its back to normal?
- What will the races and classes be like?
- Will ALL classes be appreciated, or will things like Mesmers and Paragons left in the dusts?

I'm mainly excited about the first and last one

I like to see the genre move forward, the original game was awesome, its time to move to something better, and guild wars 2 looks to be the smart choice.

Excluding the fact it is the exact opposite of GW, and will be a COH/COV, WoW hybrid.

Yeah....

All classes will be the same, so it won't matter what you play. Your level will be only thing that will matter. That is, until level-based mechanic establishes classes which are inherently better (think pre-nerf rogues in WoW, or warlocks), upon which those will be the only thing anyone will play. And since the content will be solo, it won't matter.

I'm sure the community at large is riveted for this as well.

-Persistent map areas with instanced dungeons.
-Finally getting that irritating level cap removed.
-PVP still balanced
-world pvp with dozens of players randomly clusterf*cking away in huge battles with tons of npc's
-no more heroes needed (hopefully)
-no more titles (since we can level up more)
-more hotties
-a clean slate
-being able to dive into a world pvp fight with a build of my choice without elitist pricks kicking me out, calling me a nub and reporting me for using smite

Most importantly, i want more FREEEEDOM and options to make my character truely one of a kind.

I'm not pumped about GW2. It's too far away and there's too much more to life than watching the calander for the release of a video game.

(I'm hoping to discover girls by then!

)

I am pumped for a fresh start.

It's the only thing that keeps Guild Wars from becoming Grind Wars (the transition has started in NF!!!)

You (I know I dont) don't want Guild Wars to get lost in the ether that is composed of gay Korean MMO's that take hours of killing the same creature to get 1 level? :O No god plz no!

Do whatever the hell I want
Call everyone Noob and It would be true!!!

Wtf happened to Jade wind (biggest 1 for me)

- Two years is nothing. At this point it seems that GW2 will be nothing more than standard graphics update with some novel concepts after this kind of rage to get rid of progressively worsening problems with each expansion in GW1. Soon after Nightfall was released they announced this, totally scraping the model of two chapters a year assembly line production. That must be sign of something, for company to change direction like this? And we've seen all too well what happens when ANET rushes things, haven't we? I'm going to read professional reviews very carefully when GW2 releases before buying.

Keithark · Nov 06, 2007, 10:09 PM // 22:09

I am even more excited about the new expansion that is comming out for GW1

because I already got a lot of time in this game and don't have to start over...but on topic I am ready for GW2 so I can play a game before nerfs screw it up

Bryant Again · Nov 06, 2007, 10:15 PM // 22:15

It's Guild Wars. 2.

That's all I need to know, and that alone has got me pretty psyched.

Lonesamurai · Nov 06, 2007, 10:18 PM // 22:18

I actually hope I'm not dating anyone at the time, because Guild wars 2 will destroy that relationship, the same as Guild Wars 1 destroyed my last 2 relationships

(unless I get her into the game too)

Vinraith · Nov 06, 2007, 10:20 PM // 22:20

I view GW2 with enormous trepidation, I'm not at all sure I'll be buying it. Pre-press indicates the game will have considerably less depth for solo and small group play than its predecessor (no NPC party mechanic to speak of), and that much of the game will be persistent world (which is what I came to GW to avoid in the first place). I've adopted a wait-and-see attitude, but I'm a long, long way from "pumped." More like "braced for disappointment."

You won't need any NPC or party members because the entire game is supposedly going to be soloable.

Not only that, but you *will* be able to level up your own personal henchman.

I got into this game because of the no fees thing. I was originally rather dissapointed that i couldn't get higher then 20, but i got to live with it. And now, GW may finally become what i originally hoped it to be: A MMO with no fees. I never cared about pvp much, as does the majority of the GW players it seems.

Taki · Nov 06, 2007, 10:25 PM // 22:25

I don't remember seeing anyone pumped about GW2 but it'd be nice if Anet has learned enough from the first GW experiment to put out something as incredible as the initial vision.

I've pretty much had enough of GW and only log in on request now to help people I once introduced to the game. The new car smell of GW2 is the only thing that I'd look forward to

How exactly does MMO imply level grind?

I just like it to get stronger with every kill.I love the electricity it generates in my brain when a big enemy dies and i absorb it's bounty in experience points like Connor Mc.Leod. Killing difficult enemies never gave ANY reward in the original incarnation of GW.Then they introduced greens, and later titles. The thing that gives "grind" games a bad reputation is the need for many of it's players to farm easy kills in the same areas hundreds of times in a row. Something i never did in Diablo2 for example.

But i'm shure there is no need for the "skill over time" fans to despair since i believe the level cap for pvp will still be 20 or something similar.

Because Guild Wars was good until they added content via titles.
