Please, no more professions.

And no more Shiro.

Now here me out here, I love GW and will buy all chapters until they stop making them and thats a promise.

But, try not to spread too much expectations like Factions got. It hurts the game at release in all sorts of measures.

It may seem small to nightfall to some, even huge to others but its there even so. Same happened to Factions, but Factions will remain the first glass the bullet hit. It took the entire force of 'fanboyizm' and let it fly past without any solid enough content to compare with the fastness of Prophecies.

So take the excited but not expecting an entire turn around of the game for Chapter 4 (even if that was the case). It does you, me and even Anet some good when everyone is surprised the good way and happy afterwards. Happy at start and ending sour from prior hopes kills everyone's experiences one way or another.

Thanks for reading.

edit your post and remove this bold text....

Don't you dare make another "no profession" "yes profession" to the collection we have already or I'll virtually slap you.

We've gone over this enough already, with Anet's current business model, your hope is not possible. aka impossible. So don't believe in whats not true in vain.

Definitely. The current state of the game shows there are issues with mechanics, skills and professions that need to be worked out before Anet can handle throwing another 2 professions and hundreds of skills into the mix.

amen ! In my opinion the time scale for one chapter every 6 months is a bad move and they've proved it with the previous 2 chapters , sales were probably high anyways which is good from a business point of view - but i'd say the majority of customers have been un-satisfied with the length of time we've been playing with unbalanced and unfinished content.

There concentrating on new content before they fix and balance the previous - before you all start crying out for chapter 4 lets concentrate on getting chapter 3 complete first.

Amen to that.

We already have 3 chapter. I'd perfer they'd fix bugs in these first, balance all the current skills before throwing another chapter and profession(s) into the mix.

Amen to your amen brother!

Rushing product out the door, even though it bolsters NCsofts forecasts, has gotten us the mess we have now. PLEASE fix everything possible that is broken at the moment and then fine craft a really kick ass chapter 4. If not, I sure as hell wont buy another "beta" Chapter.

Why give them that idea!!? Why?!?!! I'd still want some new professions though!

King Kong · Jan 30, 2007, 09:59 AM // 09:59

I hope they do another free char slot, with the pre order again

Zedd Kun · Jan 30, 2007, 10:49 AM // 10:49

This is my opinion;

Make a HELL of a big expansion without missions or new professions. Only towns and quests. It will be big as Propechies, if not bigger. Make lots of bigg bosses, that you would need a team of 8 or 12 to deal with.. = no solo..
You can NOT make a new character in this game, or if you can, there would be a noob island that is only for newbs, as factions island.. You can make any profession if you have all games, or only core if you have only Propechies, i.e. In mainland all enemies will be lvl 24+.
You can see it as a whole expansion with only elite arenas, with lots of bosses, expencive armors and loads of new weaps. This would be a very succes for Anet, even tho its just a game you can buy in store, so no new players can't join... (cause it would have been boring for them)

Hard to explain.. But hope you understand..

Yup I do. I believe the site says "Due for release ...." which to me approximates to a tentative release date. I italicized tentative for a good reason; last week Play had the "Due for release" date as April 07, now it's September 07. Another perfect example of Play and their ever changing release dates

Now if you're talking about "Due by" dates for food ...........

. But I digress.

My point in the original post, albeit very badly made (ok re-reading it I didnt make it at all, but it was my intent), was that you could find a "supposed" release date quite easily.

We can all sit and speculate, games review and retail sites can post purported release dates; but until A-net give official confirmation of the release date, then it's all just pie in the sky.

Personally I couldn't give a rat's behind when chapter 4 is released, so long as it is eventually released. Will I buy it? Definately, I'm enjoying the 3 chapters I have already and look forward to the next instalment.

Me, I'd rather be playing and honing my (currently non-existant) skills than speculating on this kind of thing.

Already mentioned this, but I agree, again. I find it hard to believe that by this time next year we will have 14 professions, how is Anet ever going to "balance" this game?

September is too long a wait

King Kong Monkey · Jan 30, 2007, 08:47 PM // 20:47

I agree, first balance this chapter ( i hate a meta dominated by RaO R/W and N/Mo Healers that use Soul Reaping )

And what about 1 new proffesion for every new chapter?

Neriandal Freit · Jan 30, 2007, 08:57 PM // 20:57

They will give us 12 Professions before they stop making some for a chapter or two.

I know, we don't want anymore persay. 12 Professions is like a certain special number or something. I don't see them stopping at the 10 we have currently, but 12 is just that sparkly number. This is my personal opinion how ever so don't go and say "OMG! 12!!!!" to anyone.

Now, Chapter 4 coming out like July/August/Sept. is honestly kind of cool. It allows them to do events liek the up coming New Years event, on top of other things.

It's all worth it.

natuxatu · Jan 30, 2007, 09:34 PM // 21:34

Really? I didn't read all the posts but if chapter 4 really isn't coming out till july/aug/sept.. then I'm done. Been bored way too long... i don't think they're current model is set for such a long break. They should at least release one more with the intent on waiting almost a year. It didn't take long for them to break their "ever 6 month" plan...

OMG

you hear a rumor that was already debunked earlier by Anet and you suddenly act as if it were a proven fact.
