 * Oh come on, a show/hide box? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]] -- (s)talkpage 22:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

OK I LIKE GUILDWARS AND EVERYTHING BUT IF THE LEVELS ARE UP TO 100 THAT WOULD JUST RUIN IT AND IF IT WERE INFINITE IT WOULD SUCK SINCE ADDICTED MORONS WOULD OWN EVERYONE.
 * Calm down - I for one would prefer a more traditional MMO. Anet have some great Ideas, and GW1 was entirely skill based - I don't think they are going to turn it into a entirely gear/level based system overnight. RT 22:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Persistent..
Sigh thats what I hate about other games.. where maps are shared by everyone. "whats that, you're waiting for a quest monter? TOO BAD BWAHAH!" Everyones waiting for the same boss, waiting for the same monsters to spawn. It just gets over crowded and boring... ANet better hope they can do a good job of these persistent areas.
 * They say the'll be able to open new ones at will, and that you'll be able to switch. Moar instancing plz RT | Talk  14:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It would be awesome if like you could invite people to join in on an instance which you have already started or a public button so everyone can joinHapsta 19:44, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Doesn't every other online game do this, like WoW. So, Gw is turning into WoW?  I like the idea of having a choice, either persistent or instanced.  I mean, towns a persistent and you kinda get sick of hearing idiots standing around going on about rape, sex and other immature behaviour, ANET wants to make this the standard?  As an early stage I'm disappointed ANET is moving away from its original ideas to the more carbon copy ideas, but then again, ANET founders came from WoW  203.173.225.42 13:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Missions and dungeons shall be instanced however. And who knows what will become of these 'new explorable, persistent areas'? Maybe there won't be bosses(which drop greens) at all, just quests and so on exploring the land. But it's impossible to tell before beta is out or ANet decides to deliver us some exact information.

system reqs
heres my system: 2 gigs of RAM, 8600 GeForce, 2.2 ghz will my comp handle gw2?
 * we can't answer specific questions about the requirements of guild wars or guild wars 2. Anet will surely release specs when the box hits stores, but that expected to be late 08. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 09:07, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes your comp will be able to handle it, since its driven by directx 10

So GW1 was for nothing?
I mean all this history, were for nothing? Ascalon conquered (Ebon Vanguard did nothing), Cathan isolated, no more Factions, no more Tengu(all of Togo's effort gone to waste), Sunspears defeated, Elona controlled by Undead (might as well let abaddon take over). I think we've been playing on the wrong side. 75.9.232.33 23:33, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * haha excellent point well put--[[Image:Chris1645.JPG]] 23:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Think of it this way... that's what happened when we WERE fighting for the good guys. How screwed would they be if we hadn't? I doubt there'd even BE a GW2 lol. Sloth 02:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * There still woulda been it'd be more, your a slave to abbadon the ruler, um survive long enough to GET heros dumb enough to help you (companions) and try and fail and crap your pants facing abbadon fully powered up.--[[Image:Holy Sig.jpg]] (talk) 03:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

 * And we made Glint happy! And we helped the Lich unleash the frikken Titans! OMG, we are evil :D --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG]]-- (s)talkpage 05:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

O, I forgot to add that the Dwarves became sexless unhappy stone creatures so they wouldn't fall prey to the Dragon's minions (destroyers), just to the Dragons themselves. Plus thanks to the heroes in EON, we freed the Charr from their Shaman leaders, which they in return, conquered Ascalon. Great job people.75.9.232.33 00:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

It's just another way to release guild wars factions 2! and nightfall 2! eye of the north 2!
 * Come on people, it should be great to see how all the lands have changed, which aspects of Original GW still exsist, all the new skills and storylines, PvP fun, better game engine and so on. I sure want to know what became of Mursaat, Forgotten, visit Ascalon City once more, slay some dragons and become a bear. And since all of you have protected Tyria until now, why not 250 years later? J Striker 06:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * All I know is that they better damn well let us liberate Ascalon, if they let the most beautiful area in game be burnt down by a pack of cats they better let us go on a fur rampage. I hate cats by the way, the other day my sister's peed on me....
 * As for the results of GW1, well how interesting would it be if everyone simply rebuilt the old towns with no challenges. --[[Image:AlariSig.jpg]] 06:46, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * What, you want GW2 to consist of, all the bad guys are dead? What are we supposed to do then, if there is nothing that needs to be killed?  Go around admiring the flowers?  I realize that it's quite possible to make a good game without a heavy emphasis on combat, but it wouldn't be a successor to Guild Wars any more than Mario Paint was a successor to Super Mario World.  Quizzical 18:05, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * "Subsequently a number of other dragons resurface; one rises about the sunken holy city of Arah in the ruined kingdom of Orr, simultaneously raising the entire region from below the water level and creating an undead armada that severs the sea route between continent of Tyria and the Factions continent of Cantha; another arises to the south of the Crystal Desert, cutting off the link to the Nightfall continent of Elona; a third arises in the Far Shiverpeaks and uses its icy minions to push the Norn south into the land previously occupied by the Dwarves."


 * Oh, how convenient!, I fear for the originality of GW 2 expansions, if their idea of an expalnation for why we cant access the expansion areas of GW is to think up 3 different events all simulataneously closing off those areas is anything to go by. Also the prospects for getting access to the unexplored areas of tyria (e.g. north of kryta - all that green stuff) look somewhat bleak. They should have asked me to write the plot, dragons indeed--<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  18:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think of it like this: The Heroes of 1078 AE fought their battles, and saved humanity. Though things may seem bad in GW2, there is still a small thread of hope(A few remaining Sunspears, Fort Ebonhawk, the new capital of Kryta). If it were not for the Heroes of GW1, such hope would not have existed at all.

Anyways, if it were not for the "Heroes" of GW1 there wouldn't have been the titan problem, the abaddon problem, the petrified dwarf problem and the world would be a better place--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 11:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * To be fair, we did take the time to rectify the titan problem after our admittedly poor desicions regarding the Scepter, and the post-petrified dwarves were valuable in holding back destroyers that would otherwise have run amok and wiped them out anyway.Sloth 18:07, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Bleh, if Abbadon had been in charge none of this would have happened!--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 18:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Wasnt it Abaddon that planned all this to happen? --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 18:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * No, abaddon had nothing to do with destroyers, or the subsequent dragon uprising. All abaddon did was unleash the char on ascalon, kryta and orr, unleash the searing on ascalon and the cataclysm on orr, plot to have the lich conquer tyria with a titan army, have a canthan emperorr assasinated, set the luxons and kurzicks against each other, bring plague to cantha, attempt to have shiro tagachi conquer tyria with an army of costructs, screw up tombs with chaos creatures, corrupt varesh into attempting to conquer elona, and try to unleash nightfall on the world. Other than those minor misdemeanors, abaddon has done nothing wrong.--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 18:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * In fact, even if Abaddon had taken over the world, if I remember the lore correctly, the Ancient Dragons would've wiped the floor with him anyway. And you know, the method of ANet giving us these plots kinda reminds me of the way Star Wars did. Star Wars is actually a story about Anakin: his discovery, falling to the dark side, and eventual redemption. Prophecies and Factions really are just telling the story of what Abaddon did, since he was the one that instigated ALL of that, and Nightfall was just the finisher for that story --Gimmethegepgun 04:27, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, no. The gods could take out an ancient dragon easy. It's just that all the non-destroy-the-world-and-rebuild-it-in-his-dark-image gods all /ragequit, so they don't have ultimate power over the world anymore.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]<font color="#4682b4">Entrea  <font color="#4682b4">[T]  04:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Exactly! Thats why I voted for Abaddon. Besides, if we'd just sealed up the destroyers in their cave with cement or the tyrian equivalent, we wouldn't of disturbed those nasty dragons anyway. Alternatively, we could of just left a couble of Base Defenders outside the entrances to the destroyer's lair. That would of fixed the problem up fairly quick--[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 14:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The War beta went public 6 months ago and they're not expected to release until Q3/4 this year. Delays are likely.  GW2 has a beta plan that at least I haven't heard anything from in ~10 months.  GW2 isn't Warhammer but if it's going to release this year it's got a whole lot of ground to make up.  They did get the other campaigns done quickly but those were in the works for a long time and done on an existing engine and whatnot.  It doesn't look great for a GW2 release this year.  74.129.243.37 00:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Mechanics of transfer
I wonder about the mechanics of this. I heard that guilds will be transferable, characters, of course, will not. Will it use the same client, like the chapters/expansion did? Will we use a linked account? Will we be able to play in the GW1 areas with our GW1 characters once we switch to GW2? Will the guild and guild halls be persistent between GW1 and GW2? How much of a separate game is this going to be? 24.0.64.193 11:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The mechanics of transfer will be very clever, I think. Here's my view on it: Guild Wars 2 will be a COMPLETE seperate version, not linked to Guild Wars 1 at all. But if you want to use your Hall of Monuments to transfer a title, armour set or mini pet you can go to your HoM and talk to the corresponding shrine. Then you'll get a key code, only usable by YOUR account so it can't be sold. Then, you put in the code in your Guild Wars 2 menu and the item'll be transfered. - Yikey

Question about World PvP
How is that going to work exactly? Normally "World PvP" is you run into someone and start whacking them. According to this is just sounds like Random Arenas, where you enter some sort of queue and are sent off to The Mists. If it is a normal "World PvP" (sort of like WoW's system) what is going to prevent us from going to starting areas and smashing smaller players? Will there be some sort of Faction difference, AKA Horde & Alliance. This is going to be the biggest factor in my buying or not buying GW2 so I'm really interested. Nilator 21:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If we knew, we would have it up there all we can do is speculate. Lost-Blue 21:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Man there isnt going to be any hero battles great

world pvp sounds much like city of heroes recluse's victory, where people from two sides come and go fighting over territory, think alliance battles but with like unlimited players :D

I think it is just Like WoW, that you can kill anyone of another race who stands in your way... Not realy something Im going to like...
 * It sounds not like that at all, it sounds like 2 servers orginise teams and go head to head in a battle <B>R</B><B>T</B> 20:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * As much as Id enjoy going on a killing rampage against any cat I see, RT probably has it right.--[[Image:AlariSig.jpg]] 21:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If the players are free to join and leave every time, WvW will probaly suffer from lots of leeching etc. similiar. But I like this scale of battles. There should be much more things to do in a single brawl than just cap shrines, annhilate team or capture altar. Another thing I'm bit worried about is, how ANet is going to handle, say 32 or 64 player matches within their servers... It'll probably mean that there won't be very much games and that they're laggy. However I'm really looking forward to it. J Striker 06:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I think the there are three main complications that need to be dealt with if you've got a World PvP.
 * 1) Number of players; this is usually not very hard in GW since the arenas are on fixed numbers. Letting people come and go however means you'd need some system of auto-balancing. If you've got an autobalancing system then it's hard to build up rivalry (luxon/kurzick) since you might be forced to the other team suddenly (if changing is not like that then you can have uneven teams).
 * 2) Where the PvP is; They've already said that world pvp is in the mists. I mention this because it means that you will most likely have pvp divorced from pve, in such a way that player killing doesn't happen in pve and high level characters can't gank low ones (unless the low ones went into a no limits pvp).
 * 3) Difference in skill; with structured pvp the teams are presumably matched by rank (like the current GvG) or some other equivalent system. Structured also raises everyone to the same level and gives all skill access. Essentially making it pure metagaming. What about world then? If you compete with whatever skills you have, coupled with people being able to come and go, you could end up with the situation similar to when a RA team hits TA (or when a new RA team hits a team with a 9 kill streak) new players with little choice of skills or poor builds up against people who compete at a guild level.
 * Anyway, depending on how they deal with those things affects other aspects, and these all hinge on how they build the professions and races. Bah, what do I know anyway, just some things to think about. -<font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  06:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

hell
the story sounds abit desperate doesnt it? no contact with cantha for a generation ascalon ruled by charr sppoked by rurik and adelburn and joko once an "ally" conquering elona. the campain sounds pretty big if its gonna get all this **** right again Aliblaster 22:25, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

"ascalon ruled by charr" <- It's not desperate for people who want to play as charrs :) --Scol 17:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

It'll be desperate for the people playing as Charr when the Ascalonian players want their land back. ;P - Zelyoniy
 * I still don't understand why people would want to be giant cats.....--[[Image:AlariSig.jpg]] 20:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I would much prefer it if ascalon had rebuilt itself and ejected the char from it's territory and their own homeland. Then we could have witnessed ascalon as the almighty, evil capitalist superpower it once was. It would also be more plausible considering that the char were in open revolt against the shamans at the end of EotN--<B><font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green"><B>Talk</B>  20:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Lore VS Equality
Should GW follow lore and make Norn "better" for Warrior like profession and Asura "better" for caster like professions; or should it follow equality and be fair? I think that equality is the way Aney should go, even if it doesn't make any sense to have a giant norn charcater rasining minoins and having 60armor or a tiny asura sin spiking (that would be sweet) I think more people will be upset if they follow lore instead of equailty. <font color ="skyblue" size="3px" face ="mistral">Lost-Blue 20:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Considering there are a few (hundred?) years between GW:Dark Evil Beings and GW2:Dark Evil Dragons, it's not that hard to imagine that most races have adapted and learned new professions. Thus, equality and lore might just fit in. (BTW, the Asura have a major advantage as assassins, they're much harder to notice ;).)--[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 21:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Ideas on the professions
Well they claim that "No one is aware if any of the current GW1 professions will enter GW2". I guess that if ANY do re-appear, I'm quite sure the 3 most likely will be elementalist (might be called sorcerer, witch, mage, magician, wizard etc), Monk (might be called priest, healer), and most definitely warrior. Anyone have any other ideas to what professions there might be? 65.34.193.183 02:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, MMO developers are notoriously un-original, so the proffesions in the first release of GW2 (i assume there will be expansions) will likely follow the patter of almost all MMOs:


 * A Martial Melee Tank (Warrior)
 * A Ranged Martial Attacker (Ranger)
 * A High Damage but Weak Armour Spell Caster (Elementalist)
 * A Healing/Protection Spell Caster (Monk)
 * An Anti-Martial Spell Caster (Necromancer)
 * An Anti-Spell Caster Spell Caster (Mesmer)

Notice that there are essentailly 2 martials and 2 casters with a counter for each, and that both counters are casters. Likely additions in expansion packs will be:


 * A Buffing Spell Caster (Ritualist)
 * A Buffing Martial (Paragon)
 * A Martial who also uses Spells (Assassin,Dervish)

Well thats what my moneys on anyway--<B><font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green"><B>Talk</B>  14:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

55

 * Since there is a really high lv cap or no lv cap, wont that make 55 monks epic fail now? Not to mention 600 monks, 55 necros, and 130 dervs. Maybe theyll have some totally leet new skill to replace this stuff. Also, since the ancient dragons' powers probably rival the gods, and Abaddon was 11 levels higher than us, wont the enemies have to be on insanely high levels if there's no lv cap? *Überness*    68.196    *Überness*  21:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

We don't even know if any of the skills that make 55's will exist in GW2 and I recall mention that the higher lvl cap was more for prestige than function...
 * Maybe then the the economy will survive longer then 1 week?--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 21:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm I wonder. It will be interesting to find out. [[Image:Ranger-tango-icon-200.png|18px]]<font color="#74BE86" face="georgia">Maeve 02:09, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Idea
I havce an idea on why you basically never use the mosue in this game... Anyone ever play on the Orange Box (HL2, Portal, TF2)? You use the mouse so much in that game that i had to move almost all my controls to near the arrows keys unlike GW where most of the stuff is on the keyboard that you sit in front of it. SO.... since you'll be able to run, jump, swim, climb, scale, etc you had to use more buttons and unless they make it where you press like shift or something to change from jumping to swimming and it's all done on the space bar then being in front of the mouse the whole time would make it a pain to reach everywhere at once. SO for all of you complaining about how the use mouse clicking to go everywhere and one... TAKE THAT!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!--‎ F<tt>i</tt>r<tt>e</tt>  T<tt>o</tt>c<tt>k</tt>  22:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I'd just assume it was to remove auto-pathing, which becomes really annoying to script if you need to account for jumping/climbing/swimming. Height in general makes autopathing complicated, but GW hasn't really had a problem since there's little use of the y-axis. <font color=#555>Ezekiel <font color=#AAA> [Talk]  03:19, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I hope they still have mouse targeting for players in your party window, i need that for infusing. Also firetock, i play TF2 and i manage fine with the vast majority of keys bound to their default. In portal you only need WASD, Ctrl,E, Space and the mouse anyway. And btw, you seem to have contracted sig-fail on your first post there =P--<B><font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green"><B>Talk</B>  12:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

just a thought
so what i understood is that the playable races will be charr asura sylvari norn and human but what about the dwarves?they live in tyria too wouldnt they be a playable race too?
 * They are turned to stone, there are hardly any dwarves left. --[[Image:OrgXSignature.jpg]] 10:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

We could tell you why but It would be a plot spoiler so all I can say is complete Eye of the North if you own it...Big B 10:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
