On GW: EN, not much news if you've read all the other articles/their summaries.
Mostly that it'll be level 20 content, 18 Dungeons of variable (though high) difficulty made by Asurans/Dwarves/something else that tries to kill you. Based on NF dungeons (I'm hoping not like DoA and rather Jokanur Digging <.< )
50 new PvE skills for the current 10 professions. Classed PvE only due to either being effective on certain species, they would imbalance PvP, or are useless in PvP (ex.: Disarm Traps ).

On GW 2, some things I hadn't seen before, from an interview with James Phinney:
- Armor (value?) is no longer profession specific (difference between Light and Heavy armor, though not yet specified, possibly moving speed with new engine)
- Racial Abilities (again, not really specified, however Human Warrior would still be as powerfull as Norn Warrior)
- An important Crafting chapter (when asked about if Salvaging would be the same as in NF), which includes some changes from the NF Salvaging
- Differences in Battle due to remade 3D engine (jumping and moving while in combat)
- Not all 10 current professions return, some will be remade/merged together
- Skills are currently being worked on in a way that no 2 skills do the same thing

That's just about the most important things. Oh yeah, and we didn't get an Asura Mini (yet)

ooooo

armor not being profession specific will make things interesting

I had a felling not all professions would return.
When they say 50 PvE skills, I wonder if they mean 50 per profession or 5 per profession..

well if there is not a code in it now to unlock the pet i think that u can leave the YET cos it prolly wont come afterward cos its too much of a hassle

I'm guessing that paragon and Ritualist is the 2 that will be merged together somehow

Knightsaber Sith · Mar 29, 2007, 12:29 PM // 12:29

If GW2 is an important "crafting chapter", I wonder if there will be artificers as suggested in one of the other threads.

Say farewell to the mesmer...
I'm guessing their skills and attributes will be split amongst several classes, as well as the ritualist.

Calahan · Mar 29, 2007, 12:46 PM // 12:46

Mesmer is a best class in GW, new idea that works, so im guesing they leave it in ;D

Hell no!!! Removing mesmer would make things dull,that is really original class...unlike warrior which you can see in any rpg for example!

Technically, we only just got the code for Grey Giant (February issue), so maybe, just maybe :P

I hope this doesn't mean the end of assassins, even tho they're a profession like no other....

Domino · Mar 29, 2007, 01:05 PM // 13:05

If they get rid of assassins, I will be a sad panda.

my only hope is that A-net is smart and includes one of the most challenging classes to play in the sequel.

my second hope is that for the love of god, don't make Assassins all ninja-ed out with spikes and limited faces. Let us make a traditional cloak and dagger assassins!

Yanman.be · Mar 29, 2007, 01:06 PM // 13:06

My bet? Merge Necro&Ritualist, and Assassin&Mesmer, and Ranger&Paragon. Lose Dervis.

agreed. If they merge any, it would have to be like that.

Domino · Mar 29, 2007, 01:26 PM // 13:26

Think of the unbalance though.... If the assassin and mesmer are merged, and you're a Ranger (that's been merged with the paragon) you've suddenly got the abilities of 4 professions.

I don't think that would work.

It's 50 new PvE skills total, spread across the professions.

Knightsaber Sith · Mar 29, 2007, 01:53 PM // 13:53

ah, I see....

antialias02 · Mar 29, 2007, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Losing the Mesmer would be upsetting; at the risk of sounding shallow, I must admit that if the Mesmer was not in GW2, I would have to be heavily persuaded to take the plunge anyway. Can't say I'd flat out /rage (I'm not *that* lame), but the temptation would be there.....

clawofcrimson · Mar 29, 2007, 02:16 PM // 14:16

mesmers are pretty cool class-wise... I hope they keep-em...

I think 'sins will stay because of their popularity... I'm thinking

ritualists, paragons and dervs have the oust boot comin.

ravensong · Mar 29, 2007, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Well i certanly really really hope Ill see a mesmer class in GW2,or similar illusionist class...
If they remove em I guess Ill be satisfied with assassin/rogue like class...
...but anet dont please

Domino · Mar 29, 2007, 02:34 PM // 14:34

I think the Paragon is definitely going to get the axe. The class is pretty much an undeniable failure in both concept and application. I can count the number of Paragons I have seen/grouped with on my hand.

Most likely the Ritualist and Necromancer will be merged in some way, since they are both so intertwined with the Underworld.

The Dervish is most likely getting canned, simply because it's a very Elona specific class.

I highly doubt the Assassin would be removed, but then again A-net has made bad decisions in the past.
