Does anyone think fow armor will be available for either of the two new professions?

kicks66 · Jan 08, 2006, 10:58 AM // 10:58

i sort of missed the chapter 2 suggestion thread, but one thing id really like to see (maybe in a future update) would be 'skill sets' much like weapon sets, but you can only change in towns, especially for things like my ele changing from fire to air skills and other types gets quite annoying.

Armor ratings will still remain the same, so the only reason you'd want to upgrade is solely for looks.. of course, don't we all

simply put, anet should only make additions not change the stuff alredy there

ps. make it so u can lvl up to like 30 or 40 when u get to cantha

Some attitude you've got there bud. Anet is developing this huge new area with tons of new content, and you're complaining because you want to have your assassin run through pre-searing? Good lord, the last thing I want to do is run two more characters through the original content--again. Four times is plenty enough for me thanks. Instead now, you get the option of starting a whole new set of content, with *any* character, not just the assassin/ritualist, and not just a level 20 who's already finished the game.

As far as I know, anyway, pre-existing content isn't being changed at all, except for some small PvP changes (primarily locations of areas). They're also introducing about 25 new skills for each pre-existing class. And I believe that from what the article said, any character who can get to Lion's Arch can get to the new area, so long as they've bought Chapter 2. In other words, Anet is giving you EVERYTHING YOU WANT AND MORE. Your original characters and items are still perfectly usable. You get a huge amount of new content. You can *choose* to start characters in the new areas and skip pre-searing/early ascalon if you want.

And for the level cap, Anet has REPEATLY said that they have no intention of raising the cap, probably ever, mainly because there is absolutely no reason to do so. They would have to rebalance all of the skills, and there would be no net gain--everything will get scaled up by the same amount, so nothing will change in the long term. Also, Anet has said that Chp1 only characters will be competitive with Chp 2 characters, so don't expect al 100 armor for your elementalist or 15-47 axes or anything.

Don't worry. Anet knows how much work you have put into your characters, and aren't going to force you to start over. Lay off the criticism already. If you don't want Chapter 2, Anet isn't forcing you to buy it.

is it the same magazine?
or are their diff versions?

Ok I work for the company that prints and binds this magazine.
It is hot off the press, just bound last week.
It is an American publication, however many copies are sent for Canadian and Foregin newstands.
You have found the right magazine, but the cover you are seeing is just the wrong issue.
You want February 2006 Issue# 259.

Also with the additions of new professions does this mean that there will be more charater spaces, so that people dont have to delete hours of work.

YES! Anet keeps saying to everyone, all the damn time, there will be more character slots.

Pagan Greyfeather · Jan 08, 2006, 01:02 PM // 13:02

I think you all overlooked the obvious reason that America gets the info first. If you check in ToA, we have the favor of the Gods! lol. Anyway, I'm real excited about this too. Can't wait to see how the new classes shift the PvP dynamic. Anybody in the mood for (forgive me) an A$$ Spike team? hehe. And I forsee the screaming for a Ritualist nerf already. Its sounds like some pretty exciting stuff. Can't wait!

Hum armour rating will probably be the same, but maybe the new armours will give new special bonus?
Mesmers have currently an armour that gives a bonus to AL when they are casting, an armour that gives a bonus to AL only against physical attacks, an armour that gives more energy...
So why not a new armour with same AL but new powers?

isamu kurosawa · Jan 08, 2006, 01:46 PM // 13:46

What i'd like to know is if and when there will be a collectors edition. I my self will be buying Ch.2 on release (i will be pre-ordering it). but if there wll be a collectors edition released soon after then i would have wasted my money.
I have looked on various sites and saw no information on a collectors edition of Ch.2, but if there was one I hope its released at the same time and available for pre-order soon.

anyone else agree?

D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E · Jan 08, 2006, 01:48 PM // 13:48

So its only 2 Classes eh? Good cuz I can only plvl so much...

I wonder if the skills will be accessable from Fire Island Chain....

Will have to comb this Cantha for new elite skill using monsters...

this inate energy given on crit hit sounds interesting; Will have to see how that works with an Area Attack: Cyclone Axe; Hundred Blades; Barrage...

the ritualist's primary att probly wont be avilable as a secondary; but if it is my monks best friend (Dire UW Spider) would be pleased.

and more support healing!? sounds good.

does this magizine enclude a release date of Guild Wars:Chapter 2 Cantha?

I will have to check out B&N and find me a copy.

Cos... GW is a PvP game?

And? I don't see your point here. PvP doesn't mean we can't have different armours in Chapter 2. We already have different armours in Chapter 1. ;-)

Cjlr · Jan 08, 2006, 03:00 PM // 15:00

Oh boy. Rogues and Druids. sigh. I'm sure glad ANet gave us what "we" asked for this time.

But hey, who am I kidding... I'll be getting my hands on chapter two as soon as I can.

Jblee · Jan 08, 2006, 03:01 PM // 15:01

Hmm...I think it's gonna be a bad idea if chapter 2 is a stand alone game. Just think, you buy chapter 2, you only have 2 professions to choose from. Or, you may have access to all professions..but that would be unfair to those who bought chapter 1. I think it would be better if they would release something like an expansion pack and a stand-alone pack for new players.

i don't quite understand the "faction wars". is that like tombs wherein you fight someone from the european and korean district?

qwerty1234 · Jan 08, 2006, 03:18 PM // 15:18

Hi, I've got a question to ask can anyone kindly explain to me about this? If you know and read the magazine.

Basically, I don't really think chapter 2 is an expansion but more of a, "another game" just that the way you play it is the same. (Skills style, the usual /dance and /excited. But there are some parts I'm unsure off and worry if I should get chapter 2. (Perhaps I missed those parts out please do enlighten me).

So basically let's say we all have really nice items and etc, are we able to bring to Cantha? If so, can I say that we can "import" players from Chap 1 to 2? Additionally, will there be a character wipe? (I'm sure this is a worry for many players).

On the other hand, what if we do not buy Gw Chap2? So the only thing is that, we'll be stranded on Tyria yeah?

It's kind of weird and say "unfair" for newer players whom maybe buy gw2 and not gw1. Cause the items we brought over are non-starters stuff and ritualist + assassins are brand new classes... Oh and, is it possible to play Gw2 without Gw1? Or it is like, Diablo2 + D2 Expansion?

Please do enlighten me, thanks.

Regards
Al

Inde · Jan 08, 2006, 03:28 PM // 15:28

qwerty, Chapter 2 is an expansion, but can stand alone. Players can play Chapter 1 seperately from Chapter 2. Also works in the reverse... you can play Chapter 2 without playing Chapter 1. So yes, if you do not buy Chapter 2 you will not be able to have the new content.

Your current characters (and their possessions) will be able to go to the new continent of Cantha, and they have even allowed for the changing of your secondary profession to the new assassin or ritualist.
