I'd say you voided any credibility your statement might have otherwise had right here

I will if the structure of the games allow me to:

1> Continue playing with the characters I currently have (link chapters)

2> Obtain 2 new characters per chapter, like now, to experience each chapter from beginning to end. Not necessarily 2 new classes though

3> Continue playing without a monthly fee

4> Continue enjoying myself in my own way within GuildWars as I have for nearly 2 years now - and so far that's not been a difficult thing to achieve, even to this day (Nightfall is splendid!)

I know we've heard that Nightfall is the final chapter in this GuildWars saga, and I hope that with the next chapter we won't have to abandon all our hard work by starting completely over with completely new characters. It'd be hard to leave them behind. Though I would agree that the game is headed for redundancy if something doesn't change.

I believe ANet has done a remarkable job keeping, for the most part, everything in balance, while keeping most of us on our toes with expanded content and adjustments that in all honesty, hasn't once become a gamestopper. A hiccup here and there, but no company will ever produce a flawless game that makes every single player happy.

Oh! My answer would have to be yes I would buy the next chapter

Is it me or more outposts/mission zones in Nightfall has less peoples looking for group since most of them got heroes + henchies combo. Also the areas in Tyria and Cantha are now close to empty with exception in Tyria where peoples are gearing up for Wintersday event.

To the OP, I will be buying chapters as long as Anet keeps pumping them.

shadowfell · Dec 11, 2006, 07:31 PM // 19:31

I am not buying the next chapter because:

I didn't buy Nightfall. Not for a lack of money or time to play, I have plenty of both. I didn't buy Nightfall because I bought factions for the wrong reasons. (OMG LOOK AT THE ARMORS)

I had done everything in Prophecies through and through until I was bored blind.

Purchasing Factions, I was entertained for as long as it took me to beat the game on all of my existing characters and ensure each of them had 15k armors and all the stuffs that I could possibly want for them. I had done urgoz warren and the deep so many times that people were messaging me to take their groups, and show them how to do it right. Also, became boring after the 1000000000000th time you have eoe bombed urgoz, and a waste of 1500g keys.

Nightfall looked mildly interesting to me at this point but I began pvp'ing as I waited out the time frame for more detailed release information. I achieved rank 6 and basically, at that moment, the inevitable onslaught of severe skill and class nerfs, the upsetting of 8v8 to 6v6.. I made my choice. I gave it a second thought when they had the FPE weekend, and in truth, I was bored with even that. The only thing that even sparked my interest was the necromancer armors and the pretty views. I knew it would be the same mistake I made with Factions, so in effect, Nightfall would not be purchased by me.

I have come back from time to time, mostly just to look at the prices of ecto and dyes, but I never stick around more than an hour and haven't even stepped a character outside of KCenter. This is pretty much what I was doing towards the end anyhow. After you have done FoW and UW and every quest AN has to offer so many times you can do it in your sleep, it is time to move on.

The main reason I decided not to buy NF and any subsequent chapter, is really just because of that. You can do it all. There is nothing special to do.. there aren't options for a quest line that you can choose to follow. It has none of the elements of the game that I went to and continue to play every month, even though it is pay to play. I don't like feeling that I have absolutely done it all. There is no challenge in being to list it out, do it and be done. I want to come back to an area and see something new, or think, wow, a quest I never did! This element is absent from this franchise.

The Guild Wars chapters, to me, is like a book. It has an attractive cover and the story inside is entertaining the first, maybe the second time you read through it, and might even be one of your favourite books of all time, but ultimately, it belongs on the shelf with all of the other books you have read and grown to love. To me, it is just a book, on a shelf with a pretty cover and will stay there until the final server goes down for good.

i read a lot and most of them are open ended series.

i may read the latest book in the series twice but then put it on the shelf and read/do something else until the urge to revisit that chapter again hits me.

i have the sense not to beat my brains out rereading the same book over and over until the next book is put out by the publisher.

to simply read something again and again until something you liked is hated is stupidity.

Will I be buying the next chapter? ABSOLUTELY NOT, wish I could get a refund from the 3 installments I have already purchased. After each release I noticed that GW is more directed towards PvE if not entirely. With GW only making money from selling copies since there is no pay-to-play I somewhat understand but for the devs to destroy the PvP side to encourage more PvE noobs to try out PvP is just frustrating. A few months back I told friends from other games to try out GW and they did and enjoyed it as they played PvP along with me but now we all feel ripped off. I have since quit playing GW and the only time I log on is to get ahold of someone if their msn/xfire is off. Yeah I know I could ebay my account but from the drastic increase of others trying to ebay their accounts I see no need. There is no PvP rep....go figure

Anet is completely ignorant when it comes to PvP. I will not be buying anything that Anet brings out in the future.

Blackest Rose · Dec 11, 2006, 09:15 PM // 21:15

For me it will depend on the state of the CORE game around the time of preorder for Chapter 4.

New content is great especially if there are new features but the core game can't be at a standstill either.

Hopefully by the time chapter 4 comes around I'll be playing as much as I was when chapter 1 and 2 were fresh, right now I'm only down to an hour or two per week on chapter 3 - nothing to do with the actual content of NF - I think that's great but waiting for AI fixes...

Core elements such as trade improvements, reconnects, more storage etc are a big factor for me and buying chapter 4.

I've said it in another post already - chapter 4 for me will depend on CORE play and what will be new in chapter 4.

Constant nerf of any kind of farming. "What's there? People having FUN? NO WAI! Nerf it!"
New monster skins, landscapes and stuff, but the gameplay is always the same boring "go from point A to B and kill things on your way".
With rare exceptions like Tihark Orchard, wich get old very fast.
How cool, now we can choose different missions at some points of the story. Does my choice influence the story itself? Absolutely not.

Basically all the brand new features (except heroes) are just minor details.
I'm not gonna spend another 50$ for more recycled content.

-PvP. Hundreds of skills, and the vast majority of them is utter crap.
Again, balance=nerf. When they see something slightly imbalanced, it's nerf time. Why bothering with the hundreds of unused skills and give us more viable options? Just nerf the good ones to oblivion.
Every season is dominated by a handful of builds, originality is a crime.
HA is a joke.

For me, Prophecies was ok. Factions made me stop playing GW for months. I gave them a last chance with NF and they failed miserably (to me at least).
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, well, you get it.

I will be back on my good old BF2 in a couple months.

Sadly, QFT.

I aggree wholeheartly!

I'm amazed that people who have stopped playing GW still hang out in GW forums. You quit the game and won't buy the next chapter. That's your right! Now get over it and stay off GW forums trying to further poison a fragile game community.

But I guess it's not enough for you to stop playing, you have to find out how many other "lamers" have stopped or plan to stop as well. "Company loves misery" I guess, or something like that...

big papi · Dec 11, 2006, 10:26 PM // 22:26

if they added more levels i would buy it but i dont think that will happen so no more gw for me

still a great game for the time i played it

Rahl · Dec 11, 2006, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Just for the titles. Yes, I will.

~_~

Yep.

Brianna · Dec 11, 2006, 10:53 PM // 22:53

Nope, not buying any more guild wars chapters this is the end for me ;p, was fun while it lasted but yeah I'm simply growing old of guild wars and its just costing way to much to buy all these chapters, its almost depressing when u look at the cost to buy all (4) soon -.-; and with the way that guild wars drastically changes after every new expansion its just to annoying to have to accept all the changes to the game every time. it almost seems as if u cant just settle down and get to know the game well and all cause it just changes to much. i had fun with it tho. guild wars was my first online game ever and probably my last ;p so hats off~ enjoy the game everyone.

Beat_Go_Stick · Dec 11, 2006, 11:03 PM // 23:03

NF will be my last Guild Wars Chapter. Why? Not because I didn't like NF. Theres just only so long you can play a game before it gets old. 2 years is a long time and, for me, Guild Wars has gotten a little old.

Even with the expansions ("stand alone" is not quite what I'd call them), it's still the same game.

I also agree with a lot of what's been said here but none of those reasons are really why I'm done after this. The game has changed but not in any ways that make it a different game

why bless my soul that is 80 dollats more for WOW which is almost (80 %) twice as much.

i guess your figures were close enough for government work <snicker>

Advanced Math:

If Johnny has two accounts (and I know a lot of "Johnnys" that do) that is 4x50=200. 200>180

if you are going to stack the deck there are many more 2/3/4 account WOW players

2 X accounts GW equals as you post 200 dollars

2 X WOW ACCOUNTS EQUAL 360 DOLLARS COMPARED TO 200.

AGAIN WHY BLESS MY SOUL THAT IS 160 DOLLARS MORE.

CARE TO DIG THE HOLE DEEPER WITH 3 ACCOUNTS?

maxpower · Dec 11, 2006, 11:37 PM // 23:37

prolly not because just as someone else already said it gets old. same ol' same ol'

onerabbit · Dec 11, 2006, 11:53 PM // 23:53

dnt even have NF yet, but im still going 2 buy the 4rth chapter..GW is addictive!! even if factions was crap, and still is

shardfenix · Dec 12, 2006, 12:00 AM // 00:00

I will not. Here is why:

1: Arenanet will add skills that do 150 damage or more per second to an area.
2: Noob players will abuse new skills with mindless, overpowered builds which beat good players 90% of the time.
3: Heroes' Ascent will still be 6 man.
4: When Heroes' Ascent is changed back to 8 man, arenanet will forget the fact that the searing flames nerf to 4 second recharge doesn't matter, because 6 eles is all you need to drop a team in 4 seconds.

geminisaga · Dec 12, 2006, 12:29 AM // 00:29

i will buy for sure
