well you right we may see penguins but gaile said antarctica and the manual says northenalands so we may see antarctica or somewhere north as crystal desert was the connecting area of elona in tyria world shiverpeaks can do the same for gw4

Honestly, I think the choices they've made so far are pretty obvious and overused. There are so many interesting cultures that people haven't touched on in games. How cool would a Hatian-themed Guild Wars be? Can you imagine the possibilities for new professions and skills? What about a pre-Christian Germanic theme, with barbarians and the like? Norse would also fit into this, but giving a broader range for possible cultures would give a better story. More ideas: Native American, Polynesian, Middle Eastern, or Indian.

LOL indian... ive never noticed anyone focus on my culture before. its always orientals this, africas that...

no offense to those cultures...

anyways, with an indian culture, i would be surprised... women wearing sarees while casting obsidian flame? heehee.

guys wearing kurta pyjama while stabbing someone with a dagger? lol...

okay anyways... not trying to flame.

just thinking that'd be...a nice twist.

and all you people out there, viking? not so impressed. i dont want my new char running around with a viking helmet, no thank you, not im my personal opinion. and i doubt there would be originality.

I would like to see them come up with something completely original for Chapter 4. However, if they have to use something as a theme, then I hope it's a Slavic theme, and I can't think of a good name for such a continent.

i vote for northe theme its more possible than indian(i never liked indian theme)

It will be Mursaat home planet

As we know, Mursaats (and Seers) are an aliens from another planet (in one place, in mineral spring are even rest of space ship). What if danger to Tyria come not from underworld, planes of gods, but from space?

Maybe some type of rescue mission of Mursaats for crashed crew, or bigger invasion plan?
But it have one weak point, after finished chapter 4 it will be difficult to logically compose with chapter 1 in this order (first 4 then 1).

i dont think we will see flying objects maybe in gw4 yes but not now

Cid · Nov 26, 2006, 02:27 PM // 14:27

Arrows flying towards your face from my bow is a flying object. Been doing that since chapter 1 slim...

Might not see it in chapter 4, but then they woulda got rid of rangers and homie dont play that... hmmm..

Name? I personally hope its called something like.. Avalon or summin. Ragnarok and all that norwegian jazz sounds cool imho

with th flying object i didnt mean arrows ok?
are you sure you want to see space ships i mean if they put space ships they will make the game similar to wow with the flying ships that trasport you between areas or you want to see flying mounts?

lapsus · Nov 28, 2006, 02:55 AM // 02:55

An Indian theme would be difficult to pull off... Although Indian culture is big in the area of India its not appealing to a large percentage of anyone.... A Norse cultured one (god dont name it raggnarok) would possess more mass apeal. Yay for vikings

It is just going to be in the Australian outback and you got to pwn kangaroos that go OH BLIMEY WERE DEAD

Since this thread is spinning off topic, i will try to restore some order

I predict the gw4 continent name will be Medan or perhaps Elysia

Claudia Starlight · Nov 28, 2006, 11:50 AM // 11:50

I have a hunch that the 4th continent's name will also end with the letter 'A'...

...maybe Gwena!

im confused here by the INDIAN talk---

are you people referring to Native Americans or People From India??

1. native american style is present in Nightfall.
2. Indian style is present in Factions.

you can argue if you want, but Im not talking about the racial stereotype with bows/arrows/teepees/wigwams "wawawawawa" crap OK??

3. A nothing-but-cold-climate would suck ass. I wouldnt mind some bad-ass viking crap (luxon ftw) but if the game is 100% that one style- I simply wont buy it. (but of course ill buy the pvp pack for the new classes haha)

4. Cid, are you joking about chp4 taking place on a place called 'avalon' cuz I sure as hell hope so.

-------------------------------------

sorry for the tirade, but as a non-white I am always reading this racial propaganda that 'you people' dont even know youre spreading. Lol, i cant even respond without sounding racist myself- damnit maybe Im no better

Or pull out Stinger missile launchers and blast you to pieces... [/obscurereference]

More seriously, if an Australian outback theme was to be used, various prehistoric megafauna such as carnivorous kangaroos and giant wombats could serve as opponents, as well as bunyips, critters from Aboriginal mythology, and, of course, lots and lots of ants, spiders (try laughing off a funnelweb that comes up to your waist. It would be nice, though, to see spiders that actually bite you rather than fling poisoned needles at you...), snakes, and the like.

The difficult part would be working in the core classes - the heavily armoured Warrior, for instance, isn't really an aboriginal thing. One resolution to this could be to do something like how Pratchett treated Ecksecksecksecks in The Last Continent - just treat it as if the discovery of the continent and the idea of a penal colony had cropped up in the Middle Ages and adjust the tech level accordingly.

they're going to just come out and call it Viking Land.

new possible updates with this theme would include:
1: druids as a playable class.
2: introduction of gnomes.
3: pillaging missions (possibly even PvP)
