Guild Wars 2

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/news/848-possible-november-update-information/

Assuming this information is correct, there will be a new island added November 15th that will provide additional content. While normally I am always excited about the addition of new content I cannot help but remain skeptical.

Glass Is Half Full: Could this be the Battle Isles from GW1? Home of the Zaishen Order? Highly unlikely (Much time has passed) but it was once of the most frequented hubs in GW1 as a result of the Zaishen Dailies. Something I think most people would love to see again.

Glass Is Half Empty: New 80 Zone. While this would interest players temporarily, it ultimately would accomplish nothing. It would essentially become the new Orr & act as a placebo to treat real underlying issue. Right now 80% of the zones are ignored as there is little to no incentive to visit them because the rewards are not there. If they plan to stay to true to “everything is end-game” then this disparity needs to be addressed or we will continue to see the majority of the population go from one 80 zone to the next.

It will either be Battle isles ( for guild halls most likely ) or Ring of Fire . at least thats my guess

I always think the glass is half full. Halloween proved that I’m right.

I would love ring of fire though. New stuff might require low level zone stuff, that’d be a change… legendary requiring lvl1 trophies.

Battle Isles please….Guild Halls…GvG….
I still have hope

Hmmm I like the guild hall idea. I agree that a new lvl 80 zone wouldn’t really accomplish much in the long term. But I’m always happy to explore new areas

I forsee more underwater combat.

Le sigh.

Please let it be a temperate high level zone.

Maybe it’ll be the island where all the mergoyles, scarabs and aloe ended up migrating to. :p

i hope it is ring of fire… that zone is kitten to me and one of the most mysterious and unknown places in whole of tyria no1 barely knows much of that place…and they say the musaart are still there >.<

My quess: Island full of jumping puzzles.

Maybe the “Island” will be where the new GW2 housing will be placed!

Just hope all our expectations and hopes are not too high. Otherwise, we may find the November stuff is kinda meh. Compared to expectations.

A huge underwater jumping puzzle in the dark with a chest that rewards low level blues and has epic diminishing returns.

Or something.

Undead area with spiders on an island below Sanctum Cay.

could also be the Isle of Janthir. it’s marked on the map and in the direction of the other high level content. There really isn’t a plot line I can think of right now that would take us to the ring of fire.

Iwould much prefer the battle islands and more pvp and guild halls though

The only issue I see in the game is no one is willing to help anyone. Sure none of the maps are worth revisiting again and again (except to farm) but why don’t you go out of your way to help others? None of the 60, 70, and 80 maps are getting any love and the lesser skilled players are just giving up.

A new lv 80 map will just give us one more map that will never see the light of day.

Probably one there is already a path to. Dominion of winds is a possibility(although we’re expecting a new race with this area, and I think they would have advertised that). There’s also a road leading west to an island from Sparkfly Fen. These both will lead us in towards the Sea of Sorrows, which means leading to more water combat(blech)

I’ve always suspected that we’re going to see the remaining Orr areas as they are after the personal story. Won’t go into spoilers in case anyone hasn’t done it, but yeah. I think we see the story continue.

The isle of misfit jumping puzzles.

Domination of winds and playable tengu! )o)
<—— Being overly optimistic, don’t ruin my moment.

marnick.4305:

I would love ring of fire though.

Be careful what you wish for. At least have the preparation H ready.

if this is true

I highly doubt they would do more Undead/open up more of Orr. That would shoot that new content in the foot. Sadly no dungeons listed there so, =/.

- 3 Day event = Kinda neat, sounds like the mad king event we have now.

- New island = Ring of fire island?

- New PvE game modes = Like activities? Sounds generic. I like activities, but would like them added as more bundled “holiday” stuff (such as the amazing one we got for Mad King) rather than big content updates. Then again…November does have thanksgiving so /shrug.

- New PvP features = Guild vs Guild or Moba game style inc.

I really hope that it has something to do with Guild Halls, which is something I know that they have been working on and is one of the most requested things on the suggestions forums. Please be a Guild Halls island!
