about this new expansion coming out..
does anybody have any idea what its going to have on it?
how about the cost?
what would YOU like to see in the new expansion?

i'd personally like an added profession and added skills for each profession already made

New expansion? When? Where?

Narcissus · Jul 09, 2005, 07:12 AM // 07:12

Slated for release for first part of 2006.

Highly unlikely to be more than 2 per year.

The Summer exapnsion is a free update that will add 2 new explorable areas to the game, add new quests, new bosses and PvP observer mode so you can watch key GvG battles.

The next Chapter will be out in the 1st half of next year and should include new races, skills, missions, pvp options etc. You are nor required to buy the new chapter to keep playing what you already have.

Zuggy, was your post opinion or fact? Im only asking cause you said there would be new races, and I really hope thats not the case.

Mario 64 Master · Jul 09, 2005, 08:53 AM // 08:53

There will be new... character professions. Not necessarily races, but who knows.

Zuggy · Jul 09, 2005, 08:57 AM // 08:57

I'm only posting what I've heard from A.net over the months. I'm not saying it's confirmed, but they have said it's a possibility.

cyberzomby · Jul 09, 2005, 08:58 AM // 08:58

they also said new races
I would love more guildfeatures and new proffesions. And hey new character slots

Zuggy · Jul 09, 2005, 09:00 AM // 09:00

If they don't include new character slots, I might take the money and buy another account.

calendae · Jul 09, 2005, 09:03 AM // 09:03

I don't really care about new races, but new classes would be great. Also, some other types of weapons for existing classes would be cool to.

Ninna · Jul 09, 2005, 10:52 AM // 10:52

new races and new character slots were hinted as possibilities on these forums

also hinted was being able to change how you look
- but not sure if that would be a patch update or expansion

We read player suggestions on fansite forums every day, and players have a lot of great ideas!

One of my personal favorite suggestions is that we provide more options for pets, such as items you can buy them or even the ability to change their color.

Another suggestion is "town clothes," so that when you head into Ascalon City or Lion's Arch you can shake off the dust of combat and don something that is decidedly not armor-like.

What if you were able to purchase the ability to change hair styles and hair colors on existing characters, or even to acquire options for faces, hair styles, and hair colors that are not even available at character creation?

And what about Guild Hall upgrades? Suffice it to say, there are a lot of fun features coming!

the rest is in the update faq

If you purchase new chapters, you will gain access to new regions of the world, new skills and abilities, new items, new professions, and much more.

Simply dont hurry. If its planned for next year, just wait another month after its out and read the forums to make up your mind.

Aniewiel · Jul 09, 2005, 11:45 AM // 11:45

Allowing players more character slots would be wonderful!

It isn't as if armor is transferrable (unless you delete/add the same-named character). Weapons and shield are but *shrugs*

Allowing players 8-10 slots would be one of the best non-game oriented things AN could do!

Ninja!! I Want A Ninja Class!!! Katon!!!!!

Beoulve · Jul 09, 2005, 03:31 PM // 15:31

I want some kind of a stealthy weak armored damage dealer, like an assassin

Of course he would have to be able to Dual wield and have high Critical hit ratios

If they add new proffessions, they will give us new character slots. They wouldn't say "here, have a new class.. too bad you can't play it because your slots are filled!"

I don't really care for new races... I don't know how much sense it would make for a dwarf to be living in ascalon...

Does that work? I wonder if Arena.net meant that or it's a bug.

Vhayr · Jul 09, 2005, 04:03 PM // 16:03

It doesn't work, people have tried it.

AceSnyp3r · Jul 09, 2005, 04:14 PM // 16:14

I might be the only one, but I think they shouldn't add any new professions. From what I've seen, the 6 professions already in are pretty well balanced, and in my opinion, adding another profession has the potential to cause a lot more harm than good. I say rebalance what skills there are first, maybe add more, then go from there.

What I'd like to see most is an overhaul of swords, axes, hammers, maybe staves and rods too. One thing I love about my ranger is the bows, having 4 or so different kinds of bows (about 7 actual bows), each one with it's own advantages and drawbacks, it adds another little bit more depth to the strategy. But then my warrior has 3 axes, they all do the same damage (one of which does elemental damage though), they swing at the same speed, don't have any inherent traits, etc. I'd just like to see all the weapons have the same sort of scheme applied.

As for all the people who want an "assassin" or "ninja" class, just come right out and say you want WoW's rogue. Everyone knows it, but nobody says it
