"Fresh Guild Wars announced" From the Inquirer!

Anyway, the update could be free, if is just a update; If not, and supposing that info is true, I hope will be a box version of the game and no GW store only. I don't have a credit card (don't need one because I always buy with cash eveything)

I don't like the article because is hypocrite and apocalyptic about GW. About the playable races, the article make me understand that idea is for GW2.

my sentiments exactly.. I just logged on and had NO motivation to continue farming for my max lightbringer title.. so I just logged off and came back on here

Firstly:

Good news on the next chapter. I had every feeling that the next chapter would be with the Charr and would mean going North. I love that this is being tied up.

Secondly:
Great news on GW2. Can't wait to see it!

Thirdly:
Bad news if chap 4 is the final chapter and there is no crossover with GW2.

As someone said above, and I completely agree, this seriously dents my motivation to continue playing.

IF, however, there can be some crossover to GW2, I'd be very happy to keep playing:

My suggestion is to allow the new character in Guild Wars 2 to have an 'ancestor hero', that ancestor hero can be any of the characters you used in GW1. These heroes keep the character name, but appear as spirits. And depending on how many titles were maxed, depends on how many exclusive spirit skills are available to the ancestor hero in GW2.

That way it keeps game play in GW1 alive an active, knowing it helps in GW2.

The only thing I would add, is the new GW2 char probably shouldn't be able to unlock the ancestor hero until they've completed some form of spirit quest when they reach level 20. (or whatever Max is set)

With heros,who needs pugs.I wouldnt mind if alot of ppl left.would be less laggy.

And the next expansion isnt chapter 4,is not a full campaign,its like sorrow.... you dont call that chapter 1.4 lol.

Lol

Everyone is supposing about Gw2 and Chapter 4.

NO ONE - repeat - NO ONE from a.net released news on new chapter/new game.

Calm down

The only thing I hope is that Gw will be more Pve, or i'll leave this game. For pvpers: if u like killing other people, try some FPS.

Yes but we didn't have to pay extra for SF.

Atm I'm still waiting for confirmation from some official part of Anet or NCsoft, but I'm still not too happy about what I'm seeing atm. :/

GWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!! !!!!!!!!!!

Gwen is probably the final boss. Can't wait to see her evil eyes (purely speculative)

It was obvious Guild Wars was at the end of it's road, but I really hope they do more than just what the article says for GW2. I am however calling bullshit on this article until a CR rep confirms it.

this is way it goes ... PvE players become attached to their characters, they dont want to reboot them, and they see that GW1 where their characters live is gonna end soonish, and they have no guarantee that GW2 will allow import and no reall hope.

If you know your character is gonna be unsuported in future iterations of series, you do loose motivation to work on him, you kinda loose motivation to play game and buy that last expansion.

So, even if it hurts character somehow (i.e. all skills unsupported in GW2 removed from character, loss of all XP and reset to level1, forced hair/face change, inability to take armor/weapons over, removel of cetain upgrades from weapons/armor), it is HIGHLY desirable feature.

(There was reason why Baldurs gate series allowed character import from previous version even if combat system changed a lot and character lost items by transfer.)

So, Gaile, will GW2 be compatible with GW1, Will we have ability to continue our chars in there?

What will happen with GW1 when GW2 is released?

I just hope it's not the 'Norns' from Creatures...

Pfft, fear my Norn Dervish/Mesmer! Imagine that guy with a scythe bigger than he is.

Interesting.

The source seems to be an unnamed source from the GDC 2007.

It may be true that the time and effort will be gone from the previous GW, if we cannot take character from GW:1 to GW:2 but, is that really a bad thing? I'm a little anxious about it, and not sure what to believe atm, but maybe the game needs to be "reset". Remember the "good old days" when some weapons were actually rare? Then there were those times, ooh, such a long time ago, when if you got a gold you were excited...now it's "oh, it's ANOTHER gold...Hi, Mr. Merchant..."

Perhaps it's what the game needs...it's exciting yet scary at the same time. Hang on in there, soldier.

Eye of the North, could have Mursaat, since they have that eye of thingy. Just a quick idea.

I'm hoping for an obscenely powerful Mursaat Ritualist Boss.

Gaile in short will most likely say, everyone chill out, nothing is final until you have heard it directly from Anet, as always the community's ideas will be taken into consideration, none of this news is by any means reason enough to quit playing the game

Maybe they looked at their internal statistics and realized most standalones are sold to previous players, saw that people constantly complain about endgame content and put 2 and 2 together? I think it's entirely plausible, especially if this is the last one until GW2.

Considering this is apparently an actual announcement from NCSoft at GDC, I find it hard not to believe (although the enquirer is hardly a reputable source). I certainly welcome it. A sequel was inevitable. They know they can't go on releasing campaigns with the current pace of the PvE game. It was always seen as a poor-mans alternative (despite our feelings to the contrary). Yet it was always a moneymaker. Notice all the 'it was'? I think maybe they'll regret announcing it so soon.

Considering there are supposedly races in GW2 I find it unlikely that 'characters' from GW will make it across. That's not to say that names can't be reserved, etc. I specifically asked about this in that 'ask a dev' thing that didn't happen, and now I can see why they didn't answer any of them!

So while we r on the topic of everyone freaking out...

Statue of Melandru? Statue of Lyssa any1??

Hah, I'd take this with a truckload of salt. The Inquirer isn't exactly known for their thorough investigation and journalistic brilliance. It has no more weight to it than anything you could make up yourself until it's coming from a more reputable source.

it looks like no new classes, cool so CE special emote will be (hopefuly) for core classes as well
