Hello!

This will be a discussion just like the topic of my title says, about ‘upcoming’ future races/classes/geography/expansions etc…


Race/Profession/Class

Let’s start with races and professions/classes!
Tengu race have been a hot topic during the time of GW2, (and GW1). Lots of you perhaps know about the unreleased/cancelled GW1 4th Expansion – Utopia.
They were going to release a whole new content of Aztec theme and along with that, two new professions: Chronomancer and Summoner.

Chronomancer:

Summoner: https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/127368/-Summoner-_concept_art.jpg

Also, what about the Tengu race? There’s not much info about it in Utopia, but there’s a few concept arts of the race. Why isnt Tengu so important in GW2, yet? Why can’t you visit the ’Tengu’s homeplace? – Because it hasen’t been released yet..? I’ll come back to this later on.

Who knows? One of these might become playable in GW2. IT was alot of rumors about it back in GW1 that Utopia will become an expansion in GW2, since Eye of the North released in GW1 instead.

When the Living-World content ’’Queen’s Jubilee’’ was released, I found a screenshot of Watchknights NPCs and I actually thought they were the Chronomancer profession/race. But as usual, it wasn’t what I thought it was about…

Indeed, it is known that multiple races were intended to be introduced in Utopia, such as the Sidhe (which later became the concept for the Sylvari).

Other known non-playable-races from GW2:

Skritt – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skritt
Centaurs – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Centaur
Grawl – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grawl
Hylek – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hylek
Krait – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Krait
Ogres – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ogre
Quaggan – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quaggan
Tengu – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tengu

So, what do you think that will be an upcoming race/profession?


Tyria’s geography
Now about Tyria World Content. I was so disappointed when I found out that some of the most famous regions in Tyria wasn’t even released, yet!?
Yes, I am talking about:

• Far Shiverpeaks
• Blazeridge Mountains
• Blood Legion Homelands
• Crystal Desert
• Depths of Tyria
• Isles of Janthir
• Ring of Fire
• Scavenger’s Causeway
• Woodland Cascades
• Sea of Sorrows

Can anyone confirm that those regions will become playable in future?
Do you think some of those regions will perhaps become permanent places in Tyria that you actually can run around in?
I am still waiting for them to release those regions… I really hope they will aswell.


Expansion
What I miss most from GW1 is expansions..
Sure, the Living-World is fun, sometimes and not all of them. But that is not the topic I am going to talk about here.
I just loved Prophecies, Nightfall, Factions and Eye of the North.. I’m sure I would love Utopia aswell. The different stories, races and professions, armor and weapon types, creatures and etc..
Why isnt GW2 making any expansions? I mean, box-expansions with a whole new storyline, regions, places, weapons, armors, professions..!!
The Living-World event about Scarlet Briar will never end!
If they’re only keep going to create Living-World events, me and lots of other players will get bored of this. Atleast me.
I want expansion to GW2 with further new storyline, regions, places, weapons, armors, professions etc.
But this is my opinion and thoughts.


Share your thoughts!

Thank you!

Only a dev could say a certain answer( or not). I’d love an expansion if it’d mean opening up the rest of the map, a storyline actually connected to the PS, new armor designs, maybe some classes, weapons.

The Living Story is good, but it’s not the same especially with this whole “out of the air Scarlet did it” storyline. I found that I care less and less as they come. I liked some of them but it’s not worth a full expansion. It’s not keeping me busy for a long time as for example Factions or Nightfall did. Really loved both. More than prophecies.

I’m not sure releasing new races would be a good idea. We don’t have capes because of charr clipping(mostly) and some armors look silly on races that aren’t human or human sized.

Well, these are my thoughts about it.
