A-net has Guild Wars out of hand, If GW2 fails then this is the end, Do you agree?

What about ps3

anyways back on topic, when does the beta start. I thought it was supposed to be like this time nbext year for the beta and like 2 years till the release.

kind of OT: has our new cr done ANYTHING useful yet?

If ever. Yes indeed, the thought has crossed my mind.

Regina is the new one right? I dont know i dont think i have heard one thing yet

Fail.

Gw2 isn't out till end 2009/2010. That's not a few months ....

Arrrrrrrrrrrgh! *crushes head in a vice*

*sigh* Step outside Riverside and find out, mmmkay?

That is a rhetorical question. No one needs to answer it, so what was the point of making the thread in the first place?
+1

i think this just falls into the same rut most games fall into. no new content means less interest. when you have done all the missions worked the farming fingers to the bone, people just meh! im in the same place. I love GW but at the same time im not going to spend hours mindlessly grinding for NO reason at all. i mean why not do something else. hell go walk the dog or something. i would kill for something to do on this game, i love GW. but if someone says "you can try different professions and skill sets, or GASP just use henchies!!!" good lord come on. if you need to create your own yippeeee fun scenarios just to make the game fun then i think were at a "jump the shark" moment here. If the game is new to youo then its massive fun all over the place, if youve been doing this since 05' and your still eeeeek excited about GW then you need a girl friend, boy friend, pet, job, something. cause folks ya been killin the same monsters ad-nauseum.

Well she...Um...I have no idea.

I've seen Gaile more then Regina ingame :/

The problem is that Anet doesn't care about GW nemore. They prob know most gamers are bored to tears, yet they continue to work on GW2. However, most people who are bored are PvErs, which this game's focus was not on. They expected it to be a PvP game, yet most players are embracing PvE. The game itself did not have much depth to begin with.

So yes it is getting out of hand. Yet there are still people playing for some reason.

GW is fine, and they haven't stopped updating it, pve and pvp skills, and new titles have been released sence everyone started crying about how anet needs to keep updating GW.

Which games have followed this pattern? All the F2P games I've played are cheese-ass korean WoW clones that have item malls. Are there some that following the GW model with a high-quality, fully developed game that is a pay-once system? I'm seriously trying to find em cuz that's my type o game!

oh and to OP:
Everything you said was pretty much wrong so that should put some perspective into how unrealistic your expectations are.

That is lilely to be the case for some people, but:

GW was and is, and GW2 will be, aimed at a different audience to the classical MMO gamer, or as something additional.

GW2 won't need to replace whatever MMO some players switch to during the next years as it is not going to be a subscription MMO. With a one off payment you don't have to spend all your time on it, I'm sure many MMO gamers buy and play other non-MMO games occasionally, GW2 can to some degree fit into this description, losing gamers to other MMO's is therefore probably not such a huge problem people consider it to be.

If people are not happy enough with GW to be inspired into switching 'back', then there is a good chance they wouldn't have bought GW2 even if they hadn't found an acceptable alternative.

As a game requiring a one off payment it is considerably different to the calssical subscription based MMO, it will likely attract a wider audience, so lack of updates to GW(1) should not IMO have that bad an affect on GW2 sales.

gw economy is indeed pretty messed up, the ectos keep dropping, shards keep rising, and eventually armbraces will rise cause of hom being able to have torment weps. atm i cant think of anything to do in gw so thats why i came to the forum for a while. PvP can only get you so far. they better make gw2 good or they will lose a large amount of players. wow has been able to keep its players as well as getting more players every year.( i dont play wow btw)

I only have Prophecies and Nightfall. I've gotten my $60 worth out of the game, easily. And I'm still working on Nightfall.

Thats all I ask for in a game, getting my money's worth

Guildwars is not out of control
I may disagree with alot of stuff anet has done recently and their lack of support for guildwars but they don't have to be we arent paying them monthly or anything.
I will get gws2 and i dont even care if its a good game or bad i just want to play with all my guildwar friends.

this post is fail and not nesaccary
enough QQ if i wrked at anet all my thoughts and focus woul be towards thinking of new creative ideas for gw2 not fixing bugs for gw1
the people at arena net have good creativity and gw2 is going to be a good game and if you don't think so don't buy it.

uhm, dont we already have a gw is dead thread going????? do we REALLY need another one.

and geez tied into a gw2 thread to boot....

/fail

i agree guild wars itself is not out of control, maybe the z-title is pushing it, but the economy is out of hand. while the economy may have nothing to do with gw i think its a vital part of it. it wouldnt be really hard to make SF back to the way it was or maybe even the way its in PvP atm. sure E/As will start farming but with them, prices have nvr went down this low.

That gives it a much higher chance of dying.

With no fees, they have no money coming in, so need to rely on selling more copies in order to maintain their servers.

Unfortunately, if they mess up again with GW2, they arent going to have much of a future for GW.

I personally cannot see GW2 being an epic failure. I can see it:

A: being so vastly different that fans of GW1 will not like it.
and/or
B: being so buggy at first that most people will abandoned it thinking they failed.

I for one am open minded, so I'm not too worried. I am just mildly angered by the fact that I've spent so much time and money only to have to start fresh. I hope they offer more compensation then just the 'Hall of monuments'
