Guild Wars 2

If you haven’t heard the buzz, this is where it’s coming from.

November Update, as speculated, contains:

• 3-Day event.
• New island in the game world.
• New PvE Game mode
• New PvP features

This is silly of my to think, but when I hear PvE Game mode, for some reason the Hardcore Mode from Diablo III comes to mind, haha.

So, let the speculate and discussion begin. Will we push beyond Orr? Will we receive another dungeon? Larger Tournaments added?

Guild halls and gvg pretty pretty please!

If thieves are nerfed and warriors buffed, I’m quitting MMOs forever. The frequent smuggler nerfs were a big reason why I left SWTOR, and the MoP talent trees were crap so I quit WoW.

Also, wouldn’t be too happy if they buffed the legendary requirements, like needing 250 clovers now instead or reduced the chance to get a precursor even further.

I actually remember reading somewhere that they were looking into reducing the cost of a legendary.

sounds like it will be good!

Well then, bring on the thief nerfs!

Here’s hoping for a bit less guardian nerfs (or no nerfs at all ), but it’s certainly interesting about a possible new game island/area.

Unless there is some Anti -bot technology I could careless

Wish they would fix the stuff (not just bots) that is broke with the game before adding new content… every time i turn around something is glitched or bugged….

New island immediately brings Ring of Fire to mind.

Necro fixes or bust… =[

I REFUSE

you WILL submit…. =)

Lets all overhype ourselves over some rumor so in 2 weeks we can cry and complaint that anet didn’t keep their promise because it’s not as we imagined it.

That’s no fun, Haishao.

HEY – us rangers are still waiting for the fixes everyone else got last week.

GuildWars 2 a.k.a GuildWars Too!
So i’m 100% sure its Guild vs Guild (GvG) cause what is GuildWars 2 without GvG too?

Unless…
They aint gonna release it till the Expansion /sigh

And o yea Guild Halls.. what’s GvG without Halls lol!

This is good news!
Saw a post that the content will debut on the 15th with a few lead up events prior to the big update.

Hope its GvG
Hope its HoH
Hope its Guild halls

ty

Please…some necro fixes ….with about a third of our skills bugged…yes a third …especially in the blood line……we are corralled into support condition roles that have little synergy with the bugged and disjoint trait combinations.

Either fix the Necro already or we’ll assume you’re incompetent. And where is the preview from the TP? We have to look outside the game to see what a weapon looks like when its right there? Really?

Hay, I was derping around lions arch yesterday and heard a group of players talking about a content update coming out in november that’s much much bigger than the Halloween 1, supposedly added story and more dynamic events, any idea if this is true or did I just get trolled big time?

It’s true. The game developers said somewhere that they have a massive content patch coming in November sometime.

Here ya go…

A few posts down a RED talks about it.

I don’t think there was anything indicating size of content, just that there is content coming.

Did you click my link?
“our massive November release.”
key word massive.

OR Tosha’s link?
“big November update”
key word big.

Fair enough. Other MMOs must have trained me to ignore those words when talking about updates because 80% of the time, they aren’t.

True, but how’s the halloween update so far?

I did not expect such a huge event, which makes me really excited for the non-seasonal-event-update in november.

Only thing I’m worried about is that Anet will overwork itself trying to have this many content updates

*Edit: not trying to get you hyped up, and please slap me in the face if I sound too hyped up myself. I’ve fallen in that trap more than once too.

It is a possibility that they had a lot of this completed already, no?

I’m enjoying the event a lot. Having a lot of fun doing Lunatic Inquisition!

They have had a team working on holiday events for years. They should have a fair few lined up by now.

This game is awesome.

@ trickyg & tosha daydreamer

Thanks so much uv cleared up a lot for me =D

And yeah I never expected a major content up date after just 2 months almost unheard of lol , and there’s no need to worry about hyping me up, I was HYPED UP SO MUCH YESTERDAY THAT THE BUZZ HAS CONTINUED TILL TODAY =D

I wish they would finally implement the guesting feature… I really miss playing with my friends who went on other servers simply because they live in another part of the world.

PvE Game Mode? Huh…? >_>

I’m hoping for….

Guild capes!
Guesting!
DR fix!
Some sort of waypoint fix!

… polymock?

So you can’t take it when your class is no longer overpowered but balanced with other classes?
Not saying Warriors are ok (actually, they have a problem with only very few builds being viable in PvP), but thieves are clearly OP and need some adjustments.

Just bug-fixes alone could be massively huge.

I’m hoping they’ll get some social functionality improvements, such as guild alliances +/or private chat channels, better guild and party functions. With this if they just copied mmos from 10 years ago, that’d be fine.

I usually don’t buy the hype around the first content-patch of any mmorpg, as it is usually alot of stuff that was half ready anyway but hasn’t made it into release.
I rather wait and see what Anet brings as 3rd or 4th content patch before i get excited. And until then, i would also like to see some much needed fixes.

I hope they implement a permanent version of Lunatic Inquisition. Also hardmode options, different legendary weapons and playable Quaggans.

New zone and it’s not and expansion? :o crazy

This is horrible news.

How am I ever supposed to get interested in games other than Guild Wars 2 again if they keep doing things like this?

The “new PVE Mode” has me intrigued as well. I’m assuming the “3-day event” will be around the time of the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.

Loving the game.

oooh Ring of Fire was a really good guess. What about the Battle Isles? Are either of those still even above water after Orr rose?

I have a feeling its the Domination of Winds, Tengu zone. But on the map that area isn’t an island, so they may be saving it for an expansion.

Looks like we’ll have plenty to do coming up. Post Halloween catching up, content patch in November, Wintersday in December. And it was all within a few months of launch.

Maybe the PvP mode is the DotA-style thing they were talking about?
It’s possible that the halloween one with the skeletons was just a test for it.
Or maybe it was just the halloween thing and the PvP thing is something different, like duels?
Could be the shooting range or bar brawl, too.

I have no idea what the new PvE thing could be.
Uh. Some sort of survival arena, maybe? A wild guess.

I’m kind of hoping that the island is something related to Guild Halls, but it could be anything really.
It could be for duels, or even for the game mode.
It could be for the said 3 day event or a new Dungeon or… yeah I really don’t know.

I’ll try to not get my hopes up too much!

I just hope with all my heart that they don’t do what Aion did. Did you guys ever see that? Long story short Aion promised a Double XP server that players could transfer to. What they actually did was implement a server with a new name and halve the XP on the normal servers.

I’m seriously hoping it isn’t something like that. Ever since Aion pulled that nonsense I shudder every time I see “new game mode,” even in console games.

Bigger than the halloween event?? :O Honestly I want things to mellow down a bit before we get to our next update. I was thinking the next update to be in winter/Christmas/New year. hehe but well, free update is free update

Fix bugs. Adding new content and your game still isn’t working?
Fix necros. Only reason I USED to play. To me, rest of the classes are boring
Add a ladder/ranking/elo system for spvp
Match people who are a 5s team with other teams and not pugs vs teams
Fix WvWvW hax/exploits
Turn off ur god kitten free transfers and reset the rankings for wvwvwv
Get a hold of your bot situation.
Everything else means nothing until this is done except for more pve. I will agree there (not my avenue but important to some). You will lose a lot of people if you don’t do these.

Unless I’m mistaken, Anet has a different team for every focus. Ie – a bugs team, a new content team, a profession balance team, an art team, a PvP team, etc. So this Nov update might have new content (thanks to that team) but not to the detriment of bug fixes (thanks to that separate team). They aren’t making new content instead of fixing…they’re doing them both simultaneously. Also, these early content patches have probably been in the works since pre-launch. Anet knew it was going to have a Halloween event long before it told us. Bug fixes can’t happen until after launch, because betas can only show so much.

This might be a silly worry, considering what Seras said, but am I the only one that wants them to work on/fix what they already have as far as content goes before just adding more of the same crap?

That is, the same events that do pretty much the exact same thing, with the broken scaling, broken tagging system, etc.

No doubt I am really excited to see a huge update regardless. But still, I hope they’re not just going to abandon all the content they already have. It’s like they built a fully functioning house but now need to decorate instead of building another basic house.
