GW2 article and oppinion

Please see:

See me


To begin with I would like to be excited about the idea that Guildwars is coming out with another game,
to end with I would like to be confused. Instead of releasing a new campaign or new “Expansion” Arena net has decided to release a new Guild wars called Guild wars 2.

I would also like to state that before you go on some major bashing trip saying “that’s not right” or “your RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing stupid” or some other stupid idiotic thing…..read this…:



So you think you know all there is to know?
Wrong.

With the release of Guildwars 2 there will be some epic changes, it will go from the game we love and play to having a few of these features:

All fine and dandy but the game will go from the idea of skill to the idea of WOW. (World of war craft). I am not comparing the two but I am comparing the idea of both, there different in the ways of one is hours played to gain glory and respect. The term newb and bashing of lower level characters is more “populated there” where in guild wars its not about level, its about skill, a level one character could go in and slaughter a level 20 beast (exaggerating for effect here) or help a level 20 character defeat a hard boss, while in other MMO’s its about level, the higher the stronger, the more money the better.

If there stating that there will be some places out side of town where other people can go to (again, WOW, Runescape) then forget it, the old guild wars was better, no spawn camping, to waiting in long lines for quests…(and so on)If there idea of a better game is some instanced areas, much like how Wow or other Role playing games has made places like dungeons instanced, then the game will become like every other Role playing game.

I am starting to see how they cant or are having a hard time keeping up to certain RPG’s out there (if you get my drift….*cough* WoW *cough*) although I could be reading into it all wrong.
If and when they do state that “eventually all players will be on guild wars” the old world will become dead, and vacant…..NOT the new guild wars according to wiki will have a much more “powerful” effect visually, thus requiring more powerful computers, people like me may be stuck with the original guild wars as we either reach or just push beyond the door to minimum requirements.
So in the end, the guild wars we know and love is having a “face lift” so to speak.
only time will tell what will truly become of her child (the original guild wars)….

-Higher level cap: We still have no idea how this will play out. It could very well be having levels be a requirement for many areas, or it could work out like Oblivion or Mass Effect: areas/monsters are scaled according to player level.

-Persistant Areas: Note, *some* areas will be persistant. These areas could just be little hubs with merchants and stuff, or an area where a dragon could spawn, or something/anything. To avoid "spawn camping", they could have all quests and the like take you to an instance area of the outpost, much like a lot of GW:EN's quests. Again, we don't know.

I could sum up my whole post just by saying this: Time will tell. Given how ANet's developed their original Guild Wars - and more importantly, now that they know what to expect from the playerbase - I'm having very high hopes.

I love how people are like *cough* WoW *cough*. Since when was WoW the first MMO to have persistant worlds? Since when was WoW the first MMO to have a high level capacity?

That being said, so far i've taken the unlimited cap as nothing more than "my exp says I would be level 200" but your attributes wouldn't increase the entire way to level 200. People have always asked for a title showing exp. I looked at this as a different version of the title. Anet won't make a game that your character will always be able to be stronger. There will be a cap in terms of attributes. Proof? No proof. The game mechanics simply wouldn't work otherwise though.

As for the persistant world..idk..just have to see how that turns out. It could be great or terrible, depending on where they take it. If it gets too crowded it probably won't be any fun. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with, but its way too early to say "omg that stupid. it'll be just like WoW"

Edit: Also you make it seem like no one knew about this. Hasn't this information been out for ATLEAST 6 months?

wow is the biggest Role playing game to date Gw falls just under that.
and D&d and FF11 are just under those.

I would also like to state out that even though Between the lines i state that it would be like wow i am not entirely stating that, there will be concepts that will remind people of wow and other popular RP's on line

Isnt that weird sindicate against GW2 threads against this GW2 thread?

Also, if it would be just like WoW, Ill quit and move to another game.

I'm lost, elaberate

that wasn't my point though. People complain because it's unoriginal and already done by WoW even though WoW wasn't the first ones to come up with it anyway.

may not have been but its the most talked about.

they haven't totally abandoned us we still get updates and stuff, I hope we get the marketplace even if they are making guild wars 2 and i'd like to see more roleplaying gadgets added like fur coats from animals i hunt

So we really need another thread with GW2 will be a WoW-ripoff?

I thank you for the link to the interview, although not much news could be learned, but please stop the WoW nonsense.

Make it a year: April 27, 2007

Any new info?

Yes. Too much speculation, not enough information.

Youre just not informed and jumping to conclusions.

Also, youre propbably the tipical example of someone lazy who doesnt want to work for their gear in WoW.

I almost posted a thread about that very same article, but chose not to. One of my favorite quotes from it that I enjoy spreading around everywhere, and would be considered my signature if I did have one:

There is no new info because the article that the OP just found is a year old. It is dated April 27, 2007.

These infos are 1year old, maybe w8 for new bach of infos before making ANY conclusions?

This thread is racist against Y's. Do we really need words like "tipical" and "sindicate?" I for one will not stand for this brash, yet clever, offense against Aryna Nyet. Clearly the world has gone mad.

Edit: And shirtless Sawyer...

Your meds. Take them.

First, unless there's been a coup at ArenaNet, I figure this statement still stands:

Second, Guild Wars isn't and never has been struggling to compete. It's a very successful game, not an RPG clone.

Third, the game is coming out in 2009. Guild Wars 1 came out in 2005. Of course the graphics are going to be improved, of course it will be more demanding on computers. However, they've said in the past that they make games that run on a variety of computers, just like everyone else in the MMO industry that does well. I'm sorry that your 10 year-old computer can't run new games, but there's a point where it's ok to upgrade.

Some of your post seems a litle confused, perhaps you were missing some 2's or clarifying (1)'s, but I'd like to reinforce that GW2 is a completely separate game, it is not going to "overwrite" GW(1), nothing wil change about GW(1) in terms of it's engine or it's graphics.

The original GW will still be there after GW2 is released, if people keep playing, as you yourself, OP, say you likely intend to, the game will still be there to play.

i hope anet will cancel gw2 like the 4th campaing cause they are really just killing your characters ,killing gw1 people will be busy leveling and getting new titles in gw2 and forget about gw1 this will make me cry ill miss my ranger and everything in gw1 when people no longer play it
