Well given the fact that it's just going to be an expansion pack (and taking into consideration what we know about it so far), it'll probably be mostly, if not entirely, PvE based, and with the new skills being added to PvE soon along with the PvE only skills in EotN... I personally don't think a low amount of new skills is really going to be an issue there. Besides, PvE is just one big SFMMZBFest nowadays anyway. Rollin', rollin', rollin'!

Well, i at least have one thing less to worry about:

since GW2 blows for me, i do not request character transfers or anything anymore. I will just stick to GW1 and avoid (and tell eople to avoid) GW2.

seriously, wth made anet abandon pretty must everything that made me play gw1?

* Instaced world
and
* Low level cap and other pointless e-peen numbers.

Anet, you made different type of game, do you really have to destroy its uniquenes by adding lame stuff into it?

This is all great news imho. Ive been playing for 1.5 years now and ive only completed proph (yeah yeah), and welcome the time i can now concentrate fully on the campaigns/characters without being tempted to buy a new campaign.

GW2 sounds like a logical step from the original. Replayability ensured.
And its even more fun cuz when the game comes out, were all gonna be noobs again!

No monthly fee is great. I can start playing Aion and GW at the same time now

In my head I had a really in-depth post prepared, but all this news is making my head dizzy of anticipation.

Yay-net!

Player-Kill
Basically you kill other players for kicks.

EDIT: Got sniped.

I'm eagerly anticipating news of the instances and level cap because if they do it right, it'll make GW2 way better than GW1-2-3 are. If not...

the diffrence here being the people that arnt complaing are saying tehy will give the new game a try, while others are saying they wont even try it.

You cant have a very informed opinion on something you havent played. let alone something that is 2 years away.

You can hate the game fine, but hate it in 2 years when you have played it and decided not to like it

to think a game wont change in a 2 year time is foolish, and to base an opinion of a video game on a written preview is even more foolish. all the people on this forum like to jump to conclusions about things its just a bunch of choas

Player killing. In GW terms that would mean allowing PvP in RPG instances. Enabling people to kill other players while questing etc (without their consent). Highly controversal topic. According to some, the only form of PvP that's worth playing, according to others the downfall of all culture.

I highly doubt that will happen in GW.

You don't have an opinion, just a bad attitude. "Oh noes, oh noes, I won't play GW2 ever, bye people, bye, please wave, heeeey I am announcing my goodbye. Are you listening? Cry Cry Cry. Please sob with me".

@topic:

It's not that easy to transfer items and characters into the new world. You would need to recycle all old skins, animations, player models while you could do something totally new and attract more people with the freshness you create, and freshness is key, everywhere.

bart · Mar 21, 2007, 08:26 AM // 08:26

hmm world PvP... so what is a PvE-er going to do when he is Ganked by a PvP-er while questing? heh... i hope we are able to turn on/off PvP or else as a PvE-er once i step out of town i'm a dead fish

I have a bad attitude? yeah? many of us were told there would be a chapter 4. and I was saying my opinion on why I have a bad attitude towards it like you say why you have a positive attitude towards it, so we cant do the same? you have a good attitude...people are allowed to have bad attitude is this your forum? cry cry cry oh noes oh noes i wont play gw2 ever thats right, saying that is not attention seeking its just giving an example of one person who wont play it I also know many others..because of those reasons, but you commenting on it is attention seeking.. cry cry cry so you can say you will definitely play it...and others cant say they definitely wont play? wow...the world revolves around you oh oh noes noes!

Exodeous yes your right I dont have a very informed opinion, but Im giving an opinion on what I do know...I can do that right? Im giving my opinion from what Ive read on that magazine. So how do you know its going to be such a great game? are you making it?

"There will be no option to migrate characters from Guild Wars 1 to Guild Wars 2."

Alas poor M A T T M A N. I knew him Monkey Eek Eek. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excelent fancy.... all that remains is a statue with some half-crazed survivor named Passalus Cercopes...

I would laugh very hard if out of know where, we get a big ol'

As Gaile confirmed, they're not getting away from instances so you won't run into PvP'ers while questing...

WhiteZombie · Mar 21, 2007, 08:38 AM // 08:38

wow. if persistant world events and an increased level cap make this game exactly like WoW and suddenly the bane of all existence, i guess the worlds doomed then *shrug*

or maybe everyones just jumping the gun at scant information and being little baby drama queens.

naaah, that cant be it.

I highly doubt that will happen in GW.

I also doubt this would happen. I think Gaile said she / Anet don't support that. If it were ever to happen I highly doubt I would keep playing GW. Basically in real life, it's not good to go beat someone up on the street and steal their stuff...that's what boxing rings are for, if you want to go and randomly punch someone for no real reason...so we don't need that sort of thing on Guild Wars. The current set-up of PvP and PvE is nice, though the skill balances can get some people pretty angry, it could be a lot worse.

I feel scared and excited at the same time about the news...though I want to be able to read the article when it comes out in the UK before I start worring needlessly.

i never said it would be great, cause i have not played it. but im also not going to say it sucks whne i have not played it.

you cant form an opinion of something you havent played. right now you are making an assumption based on what you have read.

i could make a few sentence description of GW that would make it sound like a horrible game by talking about its bad features. while my description may be true, it doesnt give you any indication of what the game is actually like. Gw2 may have a ton of features you do like, but you wont be able to decide that till you have tried it. so judging it now weather you praise it or hate it, isnt really smart.

Yeah but also in real life, we dont walk around with swords, bows, hammers, axes, or magic wands killing creatures. Its just a fantasy game. Whether you can distinguish what is fake and real, well that shouldn't rest on Anet's shoulders.
