Guild Wars 2

My suggestion to A-net, as you can imagine from the title of this thread, is to create a new MMO containing the best elements of GW2 but in the same time to be different.

We all know GW2 has some very interesting features that not many MMOs have. I am talking about gameplay mechanics like events and quality of life features. Plus it includes PvE, organized PvP and Mass PVP called WvW.

But…. No matter how many expansions GW2 will get in the future, they will be all more or less of the same. They can’t include too much innovative ideas due to lore or setting restrictions

Having all this said, I consider that a small team from A-net’s staff can successfully take care about the future of GW2 while the others, the majority, should focus on something totally different.

And here comes in my suggestion:

A new shooter MMORPG trademarked by A-Net. They have the potential of creating a 1st/3rd Person Shooter MMORPG that will be like no other. They have all the data they need: events scaling, no quest systems and they are the masters of environment, meaning they can create spectacular MMO worlds.

Why am I suggesting this?

Because I know they can do it and they can conquer this segment of the market due to lack of strong competition.

here are a few examples:

Planetside 2 – Open Wold PvP similar to WvW. no PvE
Firefall – Open World PvE with no real goals other then grinding for levels. sub-par PvP
Warframe – Co-op instanced PvE similar to dungeons
Counterstike GO – room based PvP
Warface – room based PvP with very small PvE with good RPG feel

As you see, not anyone of them fits into the category of MMORPG. And you can name others too but still tehy wont fill in the MMORPG genre based on mostly PvE

So, if you guys like this suggestion and want to give some ideas of how A-net can do something like this, feel free to share them with us. Who knows, maybe the “competitors” will read this and they will do it if A-net won’t :P

You should look at The Repopulation for when it release. Sound like what you talk about. For arena net to make what you talk about will cost a lot of money. Buy more gem and maybe some day they can do.

So you’re saying they should abandon what they have that’s making them money and what they hope to extend to something truly great, and instead go off and spend millions developing something completely different that might be a flop.

Sounds like a plan.

Sounds like you might have fun with Defiance.

I’m not sure how much of a cross-over market there is between MMO players and FPS players but your idea does not appeal to me.
