Well I can give you all three reasons why this would be fun and three reasons why it wouldn't:

Reasons why it'd be fun:
You'd have to include access of cross campaign skills in all campaigns (you could buy nightfall warrior skills in tyria)
You'd have access to a wider variety of classes to use among different campaign settings and storylines.
You'd have more quests in the game (obvious reasons)

Bad Things:
It would take a long time to add this into the game and a lot of time that could be spent on gw2 instead of on gw1
It would cause some overpowered builds to appear more early on in the game
It would cause a bunch of people to dislike the idea just because it exists (some jerks are like that)

personally I'm a
/signed
for this idea, because I like the idea of having access to other campaign classes. But I'll only sign onto this if Arenanet promises to make it so that you have to have the actual campaign before accessing the classes *Thus a person with only nightfall cannot use a sin or a rit in elona, but a person with both nightfall and factions can*

With the ease of starter areas, I fail to see how this would make things any easier, aside from LoDA. But since it's already about D-Ling anyway, I don't think new professions would hurt.

But even more than this, I'd like to see universal drops in all campaigns. Scythes/Daggers/etc.

Well i give up on trying to explain all this and make the suggestion. Since nobody wants to actually read what i said and where to make the classes. Couple ppl did which ty and you do have some points on it all, But still would like to see it happen. Since i'm not asking about 4 full classes to be added in diffrent parts, Just asking for only 2. Thats all and thats ONLY if you have all 3 chapters.

I just see stuff being combined added, unlocked in full thing with other games and figured this would be good. Since any race can be born anywhere in this world lol. NF (Africa) don't only mean Africa ppl are born there lol.

But like i said i give up on it. So anyway if mods want to, Close this, Blow it up, Keep it open. Do whatever you want with it. I'm out, Thanks.

So you do have people that can call a meteor down from heaven, and people who can animate the dead?

Even one full class is a lot of work for ANET. Lets look at Paragons because they are a NF class, meaning they have less skills and armors than the other classes.

First they have to make the skills (a quick look on the wiki lists 89 Paragon skills). Unless your willing for them to be simple copies with the numbers changed around, these will need to be made from scratch.

Paragons have 14 armor skins for each gender. So 28 armor skins which will need to be produced.

Hair colour won't be much of an issue. However the class/gender combination with the least number of hair styles sits at 8. So we are talking of at least 16 new styles per class.

Throw in another 14 face designs.

Then coding the hero AI to be able to handle the new skills.

All of this will need to be tested to make sure it doesn't cause problems with anything else.

And this is just for a single class that uses existing weapons (do we really need another caster class ?). For a second double this for the initial creation, then a bit more than double for the testing since you have more to test it against. Then we have more work for keeping PvP balanced.

I really don't see ANET being willing to put this much work when it won't give much extra revenue.

Nah. The old campaigns should have skills for the new professions, but campaign.specific professions should start only in their respective camapigns.
