Guild Wars 2 Lore To Be Told In Book Series

I don't think I can read books based on games again after reading one terrible series that butchered everything.

That and I'm not very fond of the future setting so I'm not going to waste the money.

Wouldn't these inherently be pretty depressing books? What with the world going to shit on us and all...

I wonder if I buy and read all 3 books that maybe I can get my Legendary Book Reader title....

Winterclaw: Which one was that, out of curiousity?

Considering they're a set of bridging novels, I'd guess they're set at a time where there aren't PCs running around, thus getting past the 'who actually did this' question - instead, it'd probably have references to "a group of refugees from Ascalon" did this and "the Sunspears and their allies" did that in the past while concentrating on the things like the fall of Elona to Palawa, the rise of the Sylvari, and so on.

Book? Yeah sure.

Novel? No thanks. Not even for free.

Oh don't forget the free minipet.

I hope Jeff Grubb is behind this book project. His Manual of the Planes is still a fantastic read. I also hope it is not some shitty character-driven trash like the Azure Bonds rubbish that introduced Forgotten Realms.

Hopefully Jeff Grubb won't write it.

I find his style to be overly verbose, and in the case of the guild wars storyline: incredibly poorly delivered.

who cares about books I read books in school I don't care for no book reading afterwards I'd rather read about gameplay and phat loot and unlimited levels and grind titles in GW2.

Let me guess, it'll be 50 bucks per book, but if you wait a year you can get all 3 with a bonus minipet.

lmao this is the stupidest idea I've ever heard. ANet must be running out of money.

Probably. Think the star wars prequals done by someone with a quarter of the talent.

Draxynnic, I read the Baldur's Gate books. An awful series of books for a great game series.

250 years huh, that explains why we can't transfer characters, their all ganna be dead lol.

I buy them if the first chapter can grab my attention. WoW has a series of books based on the game also. So why not GW?

if the art is as good as those concept arts I'd buy a first hard cover edition waits for the correct time and find the artist to sign it hehehe

For me it all depends on the cover art.... I do NOT buy books with tacky cover art. Game series books tend to have bad cover art, and generally tend to be bad books...

They also had better release them in Australia.

I think graphic novels would work better with how good Anet's artists are ;p

Not smart, too much awesome would ensue, causing many head asplosions.

Yeah, then Anet would loose money from not as many people buying GW2.

But didn't Anet say that if a book series/movie was done they would make sure it was done well?

ANet doing something well? Surely not. Look at the last 2 years, they've done almost nothing well at all.

2007 called. it wants you to leave

you mean its not a graphic novels?

oh, damn, guess i'm not getting it after all. who wants alphabets :P
