Guild Wars 2

Let me start by saying I love GW2. It took me a while to get used to it since I was a big fan of GW1 and, when GW2 came out, I realized they were very different. I love the WvW and the Living Story and the Dungeons and all that stuff. Nice job Devs!

I am starting to notice however that people, myself included, are starting to look for something more, something bigger that you can add to the game. I have two suggestions for Long-Term projects for you guys that could keep this game alive and thriving. I realize these would be Long-Term projects and if you guys see this thread and decide to give it a try, I realize this won’t be done by next week or maybe even next feature pack, but it’s just something for you guys to think about and maybe give a try.

1) So one of the things that was so great about GW1 that kept a lot of the original Prophecies players playing for so long is the fact that you came out with huge expansion campaigns (Factions, Nightfall, and the EotN expansion). In GW2 I’ve read that Elona has been completely cut off due to the rising of Palawa Joko and a dragon in the Crystal Desert (Kralkatorrik). It would be really cool to see a campaign about pushing into the Crystal Desert (maybe killing Kralkatorrik) and fighting Palawa Joko in Elona thus opening up Elona to GW2 players again.

I’m not sure what happened to Cantha although from what I’ve read it seems like Zhaitan had cut off access to Cantha and the Ministry of Purity had kind of made them a little xenophobic (btw I first saw that word in the GW Prophecies manual concerning the Stone Summit Dwarves) so maybe you guys might look into, now that Zhaitain is dead for most players, moving into Cantha to reunite with the other races.

Food for thought, that’s a tall order but I know people have been breathing down your neck about something big and this could be it.

2) The other thing that could be a big change is regarding WvW. In my humble opinion WvW is one of the most dynamic things about GW2 and I love it. The one thing that is starting to disappoint me or turn me away to Edge of the Mists is the redundancy of the maps. Now I know people have said “Change the maps” before but hear me out.

Blue Team in EotM is Frostreach. So maybe you could make their home BL a tundra setting or more snowy “Shiverpeak-y” type feel to it.

Red Team in EotM is Badlands. So perhaps their BL could be more of a “Desert-y” Crystal Desert (which could be available if you created new expansion campaigns wink wink) feel.

Green Team in EotM is Overgrowth so perhaps their BL could be more of a jungle-y, forest-y type feel? Maybe to imitate the Magumma Jungle scenery or something of that nature?

EB is fine as is but perhaps make the three corners of the same scenery as respective with the team, like in EotM for example. It looks like you did that a little bit with Green Team in EB but Blue Team and Red Team got the short sticks or something.

Anyway these are just some suggestions for long-term projects so I hope you look at this and give them a try.

No, mate.

When did you start playing GW2? If you’re a ‘veteran’ like me, you’d know that after 2 years with NO sign of an expansion whatsoever, and a LS2 that leads nowhere near any of those 2 continents…you’re in for a disappointment.

WvW might get minor improvements (balancing) but that’s it, nothing else. Just look at sPvP.

I’ve had the game since about a week or two after release and so I am fully aware of the lack of big things… but it’s worth a try. If you were a Prophecies player before either of the other two campaigns came out you’d know that Prophecies gave no hint of any other campaigns or continents for that matter. So stranger things have happened.

And who knows, with the LS concerning Mordremoth they may make one about Kralk which could open up Elona. All it would take is a little initiative and there you have it.
