First thing... I feel real bad for those that had some of the games most unique weapons like Dwarven Axe, Runic Blades, and Stygian Reavers that APPARENTLY drop in GW:EN now! It almost makes HA a failure! First thing I propose, is some NEW kickass skins that drop ONLY in the HoH chest and NEVER in PvE. Animated skins seem the best for making people want to HA and such again, like when the Tormented weapons came out.

Next, the pets are... a huge failure. We didn't need any more wolves... now we have like three color's. It's dumb! I was hoping for something CrAzY like an Elephant pet, or a camel, or something thas freaking gangster like them!

And almost lastly... the armor. -_- I wish I could hack into the game and burn all of the armor in Droks. Seriously. Only "cool" armor are the gloves... that don't match anything and are just for looks! Everyone loves the gloves and such but they would love them 1000000000000000000 times more if they had a whole set of armr, like Chaos Helm's and such. That would be awesome!

So please Anet, fix the piece of $}{1+ that is GW"EN's collectibles, OR take note for GW2. There's a rumor that it may drop in 2008... DON'T LET IT HAPPEN. I don't want GW2 to come out until very late 2009 or early 2010 because if it comes out any earlier... than there rusing it! And that's retarded!

People discuss what I have just wrote and tell me back your opinion, please.

U can't really discuss opninions like this, you like it or not. If you would discuss contents, overpoweredness of skills or something then maybe something could be achieved

Blessed Winds · Sep 01, 2007, 07:29 AM // 07:29

To be honest, I hope this happens to GW2 so all these ungrateful players wouldn't buy the game.

WinterSnowblind · Sep 01, 2007, 07:40 AM // 07:40

I've said it before, but the reskins don't bother me. Yes a lot of the weapons and enemies you fight are nothing but reskins of old enemies, but they clearly did that so they could spen more time on the actual game. The quests, missions, environments, story, etc, are all much higher quality than they have been in previous games, they've spent a lot more time working on what's actually important.

If that means they didn't have enough time to create whole new enemies, then who cares. The game is fantastic and I could care less if I've seen a lot of very similar monsters to these before. Just ask yourself, what's really important to the game?

Booohooohooo. You need to show off and it failed. Try building a real personality then people will be impressed by you. Amassing gold in a fictional game and complaining that your show-off ability was taken away.. get a life.

I think this whole thing is stupid i love gwen.. it's awsome possume.. plus .. i'm completly sure anet has been working on gw2 since prophicies. Reskinning.. i don't care. Anet doesn't want you to sell weapons for big money they just want you to go get it your self. That's why there's green drop weekends. the armors are beautiful i'm very pickey and they're pretty awsome. Ya.. the new weapons are possumes.. heros are possumes.
so there you go.

gabazieute · Sep 01, 2007, 09:24 AM // 09:24

/ agreed on armors

Does Annette really thought it would motivate us to grind to get crappy reskinned armors ?
After a year of development ?
Have a look at Asuran's female ranger armor or Norn Female Necromancer armor !
I dunno what happen to the armor design dept but this time they did a REALLY lame job.

Or maybe they did it the afternoon before their summer holidays

Will be interesting to read how Gaile is gonna reply to the "reskin complains"

" we're 200% focused on GW²"
" I like them, they're nice "

etc...

-----> going to smash some kittens to relax, have hot chocoalte and'll come back to play GW:EN

That's very much incorrect, btw. GWEN has over an hour of new music, which is as much as any previous chapter. There are a few ambient pieces reused from other chapters, but hardly the "majority".

BTW, I think this particular soundtrack is the best Soule has produced yet for the GW series.

for those of you asking "what is the big deal even if they DID just use similar/same skins?....its just an expansion of whats already there": then why would you buy the game? why would we pay 40 bucks for something thats so similar to any/all of the other campaigns? Ill admit, there are definitely some aspects that are different such as higher level areas. but really, its boring for me when I play in instances with same appearances and not much unique content. Dungeons shouldnt have been that hard to come up with in comparison with high-level stuff theyve created for the campaigns. In fact, I even found one dungeon that looked like 90% the same as another dungeon in terms of my minimap.....

I'm not complaining about the HoM or the heroes or armor or weapons (im not a big wep/armor fan), but it would definitely have been nice to pay 40 bucks after already paying at least around 40 for 1 campaign as needed for the expansion and getting new content. just because it is an expansion doesnt mean is has to be taken linguistically as and expansion of what we've already had. who would wanna pay 40 bucks for what you already have? when I can complete the storyline in about 24 hours of playing time on 1 char, I would expect more effort to be put into other areas, though it seems most of the effort I've seen has been in advertising the new expansion up to its release date. they definitely had plenty of time to work on GW:EN as it had the longest period between previous campaign and next campaign/expansion, not to mention the fact that they pretty much just had to focus on the pve aspect.

Kuan · Sep 01, 2007, 11:10 AM // 11:10

oh BTW... all new armorsets i've seen around, are completely re-skinned old armor. Not re-shaped. They used the same 3D model, placing a new texture (colors and lines drawings upon surface of the item) for many of the "40" new armors.

Any way, i will buy it and enjoy dungeons, quests, heros, and whatever there is apart from re-skinned armor and weapon (my Kanaxai sword and kephkets refuge are the best weapon i've found in the whole game).

And also, i could find a better looking armor for my monk, than the old dragon tatoo from droknar's forge, dyed black. Not in factions, not in nightfall. So i dont expect gw:en to show me the light.

Having more heros FTW! now i could have a necro MM, another one SS, and a BIP. Also an ele in fire AOE, another in air DD, and the last in earth wards. A hero warrior damage dealer, a hammer guy and a stance tank.... etc

Dungeons? humm... i still have to see that

regards

Executioner · Sep 01, 2007, 11:23 AM // 11:23

Im glad i haven't brought gwen yet, from the screenshots ive seen it does look like a re-skin-fest and even then some of the re-skins are really bad, i guess/hope some of the new game play content makes up for it, but ill wait till its down to budget prices, from what ive seen its not worth the £18 i would rarther pay £7 more and get a brand new game.

God damn is this the only thing people can do? Whine all day and night?

same here. I really, really liek it. I feel its like coming hom eto pophecies but with the good stuff they added in cantha and elona.
And i love the new gimmicks liek the many ingame games and the dungeons and stuff.

I also like the armor. Sure, they are reskins, but who cares? Its the same continent, so its ok if the armor looks similar.

Takeko Nakano · Sep 01, 2007, 11:45 AM // 11:45

I think the shame about GW:EN is that it can be done so quickly. However, I admit I paid less for this as an expansion than the other chapters. But I would have paid more for more content.

Still I guess the dungeons will be great fun (I've been focusing on getting Vanguard faction so far), and I will enjoy repeating the quests with other characters. The Norn armour skin for warrior (at least the female warrior) is very disappointing, and I understand some other sets are too. But overall I see this as a good effort.

HoM could still be improved in places. The PvE title accomplishments for Protector, Guardian and Legendary Guardian are so poor - maps? Save that for explorer titles. I want a big hero looking cool or something!! Maybe a re-jig of the female warrior norn armour in the future too.

Thank God motivating people to grind isn't Anet's objective. For a while it seemed like they're sliding down that slope, turning Guild Wars into Guild Work. GW:EN is the best GW so far because you start the game basically maxed out. No worrying about leveling and getting this armour or that. The focus is all on winning battles. That's the way it should be: no grind.

Your reply was pathetic... get a life yourself.

The OP reminds me of Zinger... was it here or GWO that he posted about how GWEN was a letdown when he has no intention of even buying it.

I just wish the frigging postal service would get a move on, i want my GWEN!

Iuris · Sep 01, 2007, 12:25 PM // 12:25

While I'd like more armors, I must say that EotN is FAR from being a disappointment.

Sorry, but for me, every campaign gets better than the last one. Including Facions over Prophecies (I'm in a minority here, I know)...

gsampl4 · Sep 01, 2007, 12:41 PM // 12:41

There is a simple solution for all of those complaining about reusing this or that and its just an old re-skinned item, go to college, get a degree in graphic design and go to work for Arena Net and show us what you got. What are you waiting for? …… That’s what I thought.

Hmmm, yeah, now I remember why in HA’d because of those ‘kickass’ weapons that drop from the HoH chest, if not…what’s HA for right?

Nox… I can’t seem to see how PvE campaign makes HA fail and apparently you think the only thing that drives people to HA is the chest? Seems to me you have a PvE junkie way of thinking.

And about the pets, yeah… ofc I can definitely see an elephant and a camel with some ‘freaking gangster’ stuff… yeah, next thing we could have is Gwen with a leash and u would be the pimp… or , or we can add in some ‘freaking gangster’ guns and make GW more ‘gangster' for you. Because NOX IS THE LEETZOR !

and YEAH! Anet don’t rus it! Cuz rusing it will make people like me think its retarded
