Some questions about Guild Wars 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Drinky · Dec 27, 2007, 01:07 AM // 01:07

I have no clue about where to post this, so im guessing its here.

I prefer mainly GW because:
It has map travel, this is big for me.
It lets me make a PvP charcater and play PvP with all skills (ok, UAX could take a while i guess, i don't remember)
It has a quest marker (that little arrow) i hate reading quests, im more of a MMOFPS person tbh.
It's not common with "roleplay" where you try to type in old English and shit, that is something that i dont like.
You are far less "invincible" in PvP in guildwars, there is no "god mode" spells really, shadow form is close but not total.
There are no talk about "Im on that server, you should make a character there" there is district language sortable and a free for all (id).
There is MAX weapons, and its not "the ubersword of world slaying" that you have to get from that almost invincible after level 999.
No "real" levelning, you learn the game, you start to play it.

These stuff does keep guild wars somewhat balanced.

Guild Wars added grind, titles is the reason I break with Guild Wars sometimes and play other stuff, i hate grinding, the EoTN system is horrible.

So i made a list of questions i would like to be answered:

- Will there be titles in GW2?
- Will there be more or less grind in general?
- Will I have to PvE to PvP?
- Will some "races" in GW2 be able to use diffrent skills then others, have better defense vs another race etc?
- Secondary professions are awesome, will GW2 have those?
- Global tourny like HA, will it have it? Im guessing it will, how will that work? How will PvP work in general?
- Will GW2 have map travel?
- Will it a balanced weapon system no "the ubersword of world slaying" stuff?
- Will it have levels? If so, will it be similar to Guild Wars or a silly high cap?
- Will there be "servers" or "districts" or neither?

I do not think all of these question can be answered by the community, so ANet people are very welcome to answer.

Please DO add more questions if there is something else you wonder about.

Also, HoM, glad 3 = champ 3? That is a joke right? That was not even true before the glad title update.

There are several threads about GW2. Most of it is specualtion. The only factual source is ANET and they aren't saying much about the details. Go to the GW main site and see what they have to say.

Thanks for the reply, but GW main site, does not give much info about this, I do know not everything it gives about is certain too, but im kinda hoping some people have some insight from other sources and replys for people working with the game. Me myself have not read PC Gamer nor external interviews tbh. I cannot be arsed finding it all. I would like to keep this informal.

Phoenix Tears · Dec 27, 2007, 01:42 AM // 01:42

if you would read the very old interviews..which are ..im really sure.posted somewhere on all Elite GW Forums...the interviews about GW2 ..then you would know alot more ....

and you would have surely not made this thread here...no you would have surely made it at an other place as a rant XD

-----------------------------------------------------------------

- GW2 will become a persistant world in most parts..only at spots where it is needed will be instances

- GW2's level Cap will be increase to either Lvl 100 or it will be "unendless"

- it's not sure yet..if anything of the GW1 basic will stay in GW2..like the Attribute System, the Profession System..the Weapon/Armor System ect... but sure is...the SKILL SYSTEM will receive a change..skill will work in GW2 different as in GW1

- I'm sure there will be titles in GW2 again...some will disappear..other new ones will come...

- The characte controllings will be massively improved..due to the improvement of the game engine...the game will not have only better graphics...so characters will be also able to jump, climb, swim ect. a more natural game mechanic you know from games like Gothic 3

- There will be no Heroes or Henchs anymore in GW2...players will have in GW2 only 1 Companion per Player..and these Companions won't coun't to the Party Size Max...they get threated like Allies in this kind...

- We will start in Tyria..we won't have access from the start on to Cantha/Elona... the enviroment will have big changes...cause GW2 plays over 200 years after GW1....

- GW2 will have a new Form of an emerged PvE and PvP....called World PvP...this means, there will be NO PvP characters anymore....only pve characters..whit these you play pvp...and when you play world pvp...then get all boosted to the same level ect... there will be different "realms" ...i personally think with these are different servers meant..which are the different parallel world dimensions...

- there is absolutely no info yet about..what will make the races special..if there are difference..or if everything about races will be only the borign change of looks....

- also no info about..what profession GW2 will have..if everything will be just converted to GW2..what I hope not...really

- I'm sure GW2 will have Map travel..but I also hope..they will give RPG's for the rpg flair other things..like different kinds of mounts or other ways to travel fast from A to B like flying with your own Dragon or so..taking a Ship and watching your slowly travel over the sea..or maybe even landing into a sea storm XD..then u have some action lol hope u get not sea sick *g*
And I'm sure and I hope os..anet will improve the Star Gate System Xd *cough* Asura gate System ^^
Would be awesome..to go through these gates really and then watching..how you travel through the wurmhole and get spit out at the other side XD.
That with a little cut scene scenario..where you see. how you give in the coordinates for your goal at a little pillar at front of the gate.....

BBOOM ...big shot of plasma shoots out of the gate and becomes then like a mirroor of water....k...not too much similar based on SG ..but its so reminding on these cool gates and it looks awesome...
But anet could just give us players also a way to learn how to handle Runestones of Teleportation...magical stones which would be able to teleport you to every spot..where you want to get warped..these would be then consumeables...but somethign like this requires a coordinate system for GW2...
but I'm sure..when GW2 will become persistant..then will receive GW2 also a coordinate system..that makes simple sense....

- now your sentence you surely fear most XD
THERE WILL BE SURELY SIMILAR GRIND.WHEN NOT EVEN MORE..
Why? because GW2 will become simple alot more like a classical MMORPG...more the way like Lineage2/WoW/ragnarok Online ect. pp

Where I also hope. GW2 will receive alot more of the cool character design from LA2 and also will receive such cool rendered CG's like LA2 or WoW... simöle give GW2 such cool eye candys ^^ that msakes every heart of a rpg'er happy and gives us the "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow hoooooooow cooooooooooooooooooool-effect"...^^...simple call it whc-effect XD

- I lol#ed ..XD that people ever fear about uber weapons....god. when will you learn..that game with such things are just bad concepted....no developer with a brain in his skull will give a game something like this....that allows players to kill others with 1 hit or that gives them so mighty powers..that they become to mighty.that you think ur in god mode....stop dreaming those childish nightmares....this is Anet..not any dumb noob asia grinder firm....

the rest will tell u the others XD ive to go sleep XD

From the looks of that response it looks like one could just go play WoW and enjoy their cute graphics, because they are making WoW 2.

Commander Ryker · Dec 27, 2007, 02:47 AM // 02:47

There is not much info because there is not much info. It's still in the works and anet is not sharing info at this point in time.
