I dunno about you but I want to keep my characters. If the next Guild Wars doesn't allow me to play them, then goodbye to Guild Wars.

Well, you can, but it hasn't anything to do with the campaings we have now.. A kinda new game, or something.. Expansion, just to learn about the Gods and the creation of the world.. I think it would have been a great story.

GW (all three chapters) included is an RPG (role playing game). In my experience (started with pen/paper D&D), RPGs consist of

1. overlying main story
2. individual quests that require multi-member parties
3. decision-point quests that move the main storyline along

So, as ANet is coming out with a new RPG, how different do you expect it to be? I think that overall they are satisfied with the basic game rules. All that will change will be the setting and end goal.

You can buy a different company's new RPG instead and find yourself wishing you were back in GW. (Although the new one might not even be titled GW.)

I too want GW4 to be about the Orr. But I want it to take place after the events of the other games. Mainly because playing an entire game as a past event would be awkward. The Orrian viziers seem to be very unlucky fellows. *lol* Anyways...It would be nice to be able to gain the favor of gods other than Balthazar. Orr is the perfect place to introduce a new system of faction based on the Gods.

Actually, I would love to see an entirely new storyline. You could only stretch a storyline so far. d=

I would love to have Anet completely shock us with a new threat to the Tyria, Cantha, Elona world. [ while making little references of course

]

What I would llike to see is a new lanscape over the old one. Ascalon rebilt, new ascalon completed or abandoned for rebuilt, the Krytan royal family re-established. The Deldrimor won the civil war.

The Am Pha and the Jade Knights defeated, the afflicted gone.

Something that says the we the players accomplished something.

Couldn't agree more. I'm all for the new and different, but I'm pretty fond of my characters.

I'd like to keep my character too, but we need to do something new with them and bring all the players together in one area, if the 4th chapter is just a whole new continent, there will be like 5 people in each town....

Rurik Jangeer · Nov 27, 2006, 05:43 AM // 05:43

The answer lies withint the Mists, my friends!
Imagine, at the beginning of the brand new shiny CH 4, things begin to happen. The only-too-recently saved world is growing ill. The heroes who so valiantly saved not only Tyria, but Cantha and Elona as well now must find the source of this strange new threat. (Don't know what it should be, make one up!

) The Gods come down upon the heroes, and explain to them the problem. The Lost Kingdom of Orr. As we all know, Orr was lost before Prophecies occured, but that is of little concern to the Gods. Scooping up our heroes without a word they wisk us off into the Mists. Yep, the Mists. The "God Realm". The heroes wake up in a gigantic castle in the middle of Orr itself. Ascalon is standing proud and tall, and the Shiverpeaks and Kryta are all pre-proph.

From then on out we go about reversing the damage done to our past or W/E. This could either lead them through all three games of the new series or just one, but I believe that eventually a drastic change such as the Mists must be involved.

I am in no means saying, "No more new continents!" NOT AT ALL!!! GET THAT STRAIGHT! I just feel that to continue being successful Guild Wars needs things shaken up a bit. Maybe, make CH 4 its own storyline, and just excessively long? That probably won't happen but its an idea. I am in full favor of trilogies, but again, to keep the player base something new must be done.

If I had my way, A-net would continue making new and innovative games just as they have done with Factions and Nightfall, but I can't have my way. What I'm trying to say by all of this is, I guess I'll be happy with anything that A-net throws my way as long as it's labeled "Guild Wars CH __" and feeds the addiction, but I feel that some of the player base won't. Guild Wars needs a change, but it can't lose the feeling of being a Guild Wars game.

Apologies if that made no sense, I know I kind of rambled on a bit. It's late, and I'm trying to portray my ambivalency about this whole big change people are talking about.

Bottom line, Guild Wars needs a change for the player base, but for God's sake, keep it Guild Wars A-net!

Ch 4 is in alpha as we speak.

I hope it's later then sooner to be honest. I think they are rushing the new chapters. Fix what you have before making something new. There is a lot that Anet can work with now without pumping out new lands like an assembly line.

I agree. If I can't bring over my current chars i wont be buying.

I also think that Guild Wars 4 needs to be completely different. I have finished Nightfall once and I can't be bothered playing through it again because it's boring. I'd rather play Prophecies.

Until the next big update its OBLIVION FTW.

Shadow_7 · Nov 27, 2006, 07:39 AM // 07:39

Agreed 100% with Rurik, Guild Wars need a change but keep it Guild Wars.

OH that sounds great! I would love it if Chp4 began as a three part prequil to Propheses!
