Guild Wars 2

Watch the new trailer of the expansion here:

Al already extremely exited, any predictions?

We don’t know what the new content will be. Expansion? Maybe. Something else? Maybe.

I predict many different predictions on what might be forthcoming.

Oh, and that this thread will likely be merged with the plethora of others on the topic.

I Think i see a Margonite at 00:29!

The Margonites are all dead. It’s not a Margonite. It’s either a Mursaat or a Seer.

What if they weren’t!! Dramatic music

Nah but srsly, might be a Mursaat but i think they look alike, I wonder what role Caithe and the egg will play then? Is it Glint’s offspring? The trailer also showed a crazy war raging between Sylvari and Charr, i wonder how that’s gonna end up…

100 new unique dungeons, every weapon for every class, 3 new legendaries of each type, level 200, six new classes and fifteen new races.

Guild Wars 3, 4, 5 and 6 confirmed!

Warrior with 3rd weapon swap…and eles with a weapon swap…watch I called it here first.

Also 1 new legendary per existing type…and 2 new ones for the new weapon types…(Polearms/staves) <—-also polearms.

3rd weapon swap for warriors would be awesome!

Ele’s with weapon swap sounds horrible. I already have enough skills to manage…

Also don’t dare give warriors three weapons, You guys are already overpowered.

I disagree with the OP. ANet is showing signs of life. They are showing that something is happening. They are showing that the are indeed, behind the scenes and working to crank out some rather awesome content for us all to enjoy. FINALLY! I love it! I am fully onboard the hype train. CHOO! CHOOOOOOO!

Prediction: Logan, Eir, and Zojja will survive the attack/crash.

Overpowered!? We’re nerved as hell! :P

Logan is Kralkatorrik in disguise.

im telling u warriors are getting a third weapon swap…the new heavy class will only have 2….and its very simmilar to warrior so they need to change it…watch..you will see.

If you’re thinking I’m just stating the obvious then you’re implicitly accusing the writers of being predictable. Surely that’s not the case.

You forgot player housing and mounts.

ohhhhhhh! YES PLEASE!

i hope Dev’s will take a look at this post. i just wanted to express a thought that it would be really good for GW2 to implement open-world pvp. i know that we have WvW and PvP arenas but its just not quite the same. though i understand that some PvE players wouldn’t be happy cuz ganking might occur. so some kind of system would be needed. would be really a decent thing to make cuz sadly it’s abit of boring these days. can’t keep interest for long.

You meant mounts with capes duelling each other in the open world ?

In terms of potential content that may come with a possible expansion, look at the CDI topic, there are some interesting topics including Guild Halls and Raids.

Maybe there is also potential for a race seeing that the Tengu were planned but cut due to time constraints.

Profession? I wouldn’t say likely, unless it is something related to the Tengu’s canthan background. Seeing that the Tengu are noted to prize speaking Old Canthan and look down upon those who do not. So maybe seeing some form of the Ritualist? Who knows, but I would say still that it is unlikely.

I reckon the likelihood is that an expansion will contain the following;

Maguuma Continent, maybe others like the Isle of Janthir. Not likely to be Crystal Desert or Deldrimor as they are likely being saved for Kralkatorrik and Primordus.

Guild Halls, Raids (I would love Underworld and Fissure of Woe to be the first raids), More Dungeons, More Fractals.

New Personal Story chapter.

New Race (maaaaybe)

New Skills

New Legendaries and Precursor Crafting?

New Items

New Skills and Traits.

New Weapon Type maybe? Or at least expansion of weapons usable by professions.

I can imagine that and a few other quality of life/minor changes one would expect with an expansion.

I thought I saw a few pole arms in that fight seen?

IDK if its going to be an expansion or some other form of content but I do think something is coming. Personally I think we are getting new weapons for each class that could mean new weapons all together or weapons that are currently not available to certain classes will become available for example necromancer gs or mesmer shield. Also maybe think we are getting new maps and/or game mode for PvP. New explorable lands for sure.

Was that a charr with vines? Can dead people become plant like now much like they could become risen before?

Rem.9627:

I love how you not only know there’s a new profession, but also its armour class (ArenaNet stated a long time ago that they didn’t feel having equal numbers of each class was necessary, although to be fair it’s likely to be a ‘when in doubt, equalise numbers’ situation) and enough of its mechanics to know that it will be close enough to warrior that warriors will need another weaponswap to distinguish them.

In my mind, if one profession is close enough to another profession that the other profession would need a major rework to distinguish itself… then it’s not worth making a new profession. Take the ideas and incorporate them into the old one instead.

Any chance they can improve the current weapon selection before adding to the list? Pretty sure the # of guardians using shield and rangers using OH axe are slim. And the list doesn’t stop there lol.

My predictions for any expansion would be:

1. Minimum of 8 new zones
2. New set of legendary weapons
3. Precursor crafting
4. Minimum 1 new weapon for each class
5. Minimum 1 new trait for each line of each class
6. 5 new armor sets, obtainable in game (FULL SETS)
7. Jewelcrafting taken to 500
8. 3 New dungeons

That would be the bare minimum for me.

Additional things that would be nice:
1. New class
2. New race
3. additional 3-4 zones
4. Raids
5. Additional dungeons

Caithe’s brother will end as a salad which Anise will eat.

Huehuehue~

My prediction:

• 6-8 new zones
• new skills and traits
• one new weapon for each class
• 2-4 new dungeons
• first raid (more raids via later LW seasons)
• a new PvP mode plus maps
• features like guild halls, legendary trinkets; jeweler at 500 etc.
• for WvW I have no decent prediction; too less hints whats are their plans.

You meant mounts with capes duelling each other in the open world ?

yeah, and if you craft the legendary cape that enables you to wear two capes unlocking special achievement and a title “Darude sandstorm” and special ability to mount your player house, also rabbits and special footsteps while riding on your house (no footsteps if you are riding a rabbit) and dueling other players while Darude-sandstorm song will follow you around. And farms where players grow dust mites.

If an expansion occurs, my list of choice content:

1. New Race! I really want to play Tengu and I hold myself back from playing every profession until more races exist for me to run them.

2. More Dungeons! Not only standard dungeons either. Throw in some duo dungeons, puzzle dungeons, co-op jumping dungeons, big group dungeons and more solo campaigns.

3. Weapons! Proliferate weapons for more skills for more playstyles for the professions.

4. Other stuff. Adding anything will help revitalize the game so bring it all on!

First, Im not sold that it will be a traditional expansion (and kinda hope they come up with something different/more engaging/long lasting).

That said, we can confidently assume we will get an infusion of content in the near future. Regardless of how it is delivered, here is what I am (ankitten ot) interested in seeing:

1. New profession(s)
2. New weapon choices for professions
3. New traits and utility skills
4. New places to explore (even though I like the gradual opening of maps weve been seeing)
5. New max level dynamic events and mega bosses in the open world
6. New max level 5-player dungeons
7. New pvp modes (including GvG)
8. New guild missions
9. Guild halls
10. New objectives and things to do in WvW
11. New minigames (that players can do with friends/guildees)

Things I don’t want to see (ever):

1. New levels above 80
2. new gear tiers
3. Traditional raids (like those found in other games – if they do raiding, they need to make it more in line with the GW2 philosophy to keep it from taking over end game)

Everyone is missing the obvious…..

Fishing

I want only better pvp.

New modes Better solo Q better rewards unique for pvp , mby pvp legendary weapon for nicely skin or something.

Arenas?

2v2 3v3? mby for leaderboards?

I think can work

my predictions: absolutely nothing. Why are you hyping yourself so much for S3 of Living story?

Hmmm I don’t know about predictions; probably standard things:

New dungeons
New zones
New armors and weapon skins
“Raids” (they did hire that raid designer, but it might be ‘too soon’)

Things I’d like to see:
Precursor crafting or scavenger hunt
Jewel crafting and cooking finally making it to 500 (though we may see this in a feature pack before hand)
New weapon options opened to existing classes
Guild Halls
New set of legendaries
New wvw maps / features
New spvp maps
GvG
Server specific chat channel

Things I don’t want to see:
A new armor tier
Raised level cap
Non consensual open world pvp
Mounts (the traditional, speed boost, make the population more anti-social than it already is type mounts)

Things I don’t think are likely:
New playable race (could be wrong, but doesn’t really ‘fit’ right now, imo)

Things i suspect to be in HoT if it is an expansion:

*Several new zones in Maguuma/M Wastes
*Map completion achievement for the new zones plus Southsun, Dry Top, and Silverwastes (might only award 1 gift of exploration)
*More dungeons, the last one being the Mordromoth dungeon
*Addition of Geodes, Bandit Crests, and any new currency to the wallet
*Addition of a tonic tab to the wardrobe that functions like the finisher tab
*Addition of new crafting materials including a possible new type of material/gathering method
*Jewelcrafting and Chef to 500
*Some form of housing
*A new type of crafting: furniture-building or maybe just construction to go with the above point
*New emotes
*New PvP maps/modes
*New siege/skills for WvW
*New stat combinations
*New set of legendary weapons/armor/trinkets

Crazy stuff that i want:

*Underground zones- would probably need a new map since they would be under existing zones
*Water zone- a zone mostly of water that has a ship village (ships with several planks connecting them). The zone would be populated with quaggan, krait, various fish, and water dragon minions
*Vanquishing- i might create a topic on this later, but basicly it would be an instanced zone with content scaled for a party of 5. It would work similarly to the current map completion tasks.
*Precursor Crafting
*Increase to the AP cap on Dailies
*New playable race (i saw someone suggest Mursaat as a playable race in another topic)
*Mainhand focus

Stuff that i dont want:
*Level Cap increase
*New gear tier

Varrg.2704:

Because they pretty clearly implied it’s not that when they said “Living Story was just the beginning.”

Not so sure if i should craft my legendary now… :/ :P

So, I’m a bit confused by the end video. I don’t log on as much, and only now do so to complete the story. Why is everyone saying that there will be an expansion? Watching the last video just sounds like there will either be another episode or a new season to Living Story/World coming.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

Suburbian.1023:

The Margonites are all dead. It’s not a Margonite. It’s either a Mursaat or a Seer.

Seers are all dead too aren’t they?

Psientist.6437:

Fishing

This would make me so happy.

That and player controlled boats to sail out with. :P

:)

A new level system that lets you go beyond level 80 with out making you stronger well in the way of blunt forces but stronger in level of chose and specialization.

Land spears because everyone in that cinematic got killed by spears.

I won’t make prediction for the content on the expansion. But I can relatively safely make those prediction.

1) On the 24th January Anet will probably make a big announcement about the game at PAX South. An expansion? Paid or Free? Standard Box or download? Something else completely? Not only we knew that, but with the announcement at the end of the last video of the 8th episode we know its gonna be about not only the future of the game but about the name Heart of Thorns.
Source: http://south.paxsite.com/schedule/panel/guild-wars-2-beyond-the-point-of-no-return

2) Whatever Heart of Thorns is, it will be advertises and will earn money to NCSoft, otherwise, there is no reason to protect the name with a trademark.
Source : http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2s9jp8/ncsoft_registers_trademarks_for_guild_wars_2/

3) NCSoft project a HUGE increase in income from GW2 in Q3 2015.
Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2rw901/gw2_forecast_earnings_for_q3_2015_is_45x_more/

So GW2 Heart of Thorns will be advertises, earn NCSoft a lot of money, and will be announce at PAX South on January 24th. If it smell, look, and feel like an expansion, its probably an expansion and It will likely be sold in 2015 Q3 so between July and September. My guess is that it will be released on August 28, which is the release date of GW2, its third anniversary.

Its still 6-7 months away. What will be happening between now and then? Season 3 most probably, but how many episode will we have. To which point the story of season 3 will go? We probably fight modremoth during the expansion, so season 3 will follow us trying to find a way to approach him and find the egg? Will we have some other break between now and the expansion? Will we have another feature pack or will they keep all that for the expansion?

They released a feature pack in April 2014, so they may do so again as a pre-patch kind of thing.

" Charr saying dont trust any sylvari.. "

FACTIONS!!!!! YES PLEASE ! OH PLEASE Open PvP in New Maps!

I predict… disappointment. It’ll probably be good, but after the living world I’m wary of anything Arena Net does. Hopefully the expansion will be better.

My prediction:
→ Hype Train toy: Shouts “working as intended” and “nothing is off the table” every once in a while.
→ New race for 3,000 gems (discount from 3,500 gems)
→ 2 new classes for 2,200 gems each
→ Regular salvage kits are removed from the game.
→ Waypointing will cost 10gems
→ Headache debuff: 50% chance of triggering during normal gameplay. Plays “This won’t end well.” every time you lose HP. Removed by Glorious Mouthshutter bought from gemstore for only 500gems each.

I’ll have to think it through, but looks pretty accurate.
