Guild Wars 2

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/meet-the-wyvern-in-guildwars2-heartofthorns/

After I read this, first thought come to my mind is wyvern-Dragoon, a profession in final fantasy mmo. What are Dragoon? "Dragoon is an advanced job/profesion in Final Fantasy XI. It is a damage-dealing class that specializes in the use of polearms.

Dragoons are entrusted with a young dragon, called a wyvern, which they can summon. The wyvern fights alongside the dragoon…"

What are Wyvern? “A wyvern (/?wa?v?rn/ weye-v?rn, sometimes spelled wivern, is a legendary winged creature with a dragon’s head (which may be said to breathe fire or possess a venomous bite) and wings; a reptilian body; two legs (sometimes none); and a barbed tail. A sea-dwelling variant, dubbed the sea-wyvern, has a fish tail in place of a barbed dragon’s tail”.

2 question:

1. Is Arena net giving us player a clue for new future profession?
2. Will Dragoon be the next profession?
3. Will Polearm be new weapon in future?
4. Will us player meet family of wyvern?
5. Will wyvern have own story?

I am excited after reading the link and i hope arena net is giving clue for next future profession?

I’m pretty sure Squareenix would have something to say if they tried that.

Profession do not belong to any mmo company because they all borrow idea from old history. Like warrior, thief, engineer, guardian, ranger etc… include beast name: wyvern, dragon, phoenix etc…

Here is example for dragoon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragoon

“The word dragoon originally meant mounted infantry, who were trained in horse riding as well as infantry fighting skills. However, usage altered over time and during the 18th century, dragoons evolved into conventional light cavalry units and personnel. Dragoon regiments were established in most European armies during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
The name is possibly derived from a type of firearm (called a dragon) carried by dragoons of the French Army[dubious – discuss]. There is no distinction between the words dragon and dragoon in French; both are referred to as dragon.
The title has been retained in modern times by a number of armoured or ceremonial mounted regiments”

You see, anyone can borrow idea and apply it to their game. Same way Arena net have thief, warrior profession, other game company borrow idea to their profession.

Example: (Sony strong believe they invented The Walkman just because they own trademark. So they went to court to file lawsuit against all company who use the name Walkman on their radio. End: they lost because the judge told Sony that it was Nobutoshi Kihara who invented The Walkman. And that The Walkman is an idea that is borrow to make listening to music in portable)

Its one thing to use the word, its another to carbon copy the class.

Besides, we already have a pet class and they refuse to fix our pets. We don’t need another.

2 thing can happen when it come to use idea:

1. use same/copy idea as old previous idea
2. Improve idea from old previous idea

You see, many invention is not new idea at all: they are borrow idea from past previous idea
Example: train, plane, car, pen, table, wheel, door, song etc….

I understand, i just think arena net is give us clue that is all.
