Guild Wars 2

When are we getting new classes, housing, maps, race, and weapon types?
I know the typical response is “When A-Net deems that is what they need in the game”, but all this is what a lot of players/forum haters been ranted about for the past 6-7 months.

Seriously, we need to see a Dev’s red response….
When are we getting this stuff?

Edge of the Mists is a permanent map.

No, that is a WvW parking area for those waiting to do WvW.

Where is the Cantha or Southsun-sized areas?

Still a permanent map… and one of the best aesthetically designed one too.

Nope. But then I didn’t ask you, I am waiting for a Dev to respond… if it doesn’t happen or this post disappears… It probably will pop up again and again until there is an answer.

Ok, but if a dev ever does respond his answer will be pretty obvious

With that attitude, all you’re getting is a ban.

I would not wait for large permanent zones before the current living story is over. Even then, it’s not known if there will be any. Do you seriously expect a dev to suddenly pop here and tell you something before they would announce it publicly?

Please, stop trolling. It’s very stupid to post something like this in forum section, dedicated to release of new map, which full of new gameplay elements and new assets

U know….if u turn your monitor upsidedown u not only get the feeling of a new map…but also a completely new game with new characters/classes and even mechanics.

Try it. I guarantee it will be different and as permanent as u want it to be.

By definition it is a perm map.

Just because it’s not a map you want, does not mean it does not fit the criteria.

this guy is asking for a new PVE map with all the events and stuff – not wvw

why so hard to understand?

I think it might be hard because he posted in the LS forum that is focused on a new wvw map. Best thing would be to move this to the Living Story general forum.

Is this your first time on this forum? You think a dev will flatly say “x map will be coming out on March 3rd”?

Devs don’t announce new maps on a whiny forum post. You’ll find out when they announce it to the rest of us. On their terms.

Wow.

First of all, not the right subforum for this.

Second, there’s apparently a large features update on the way after Scarlet wraps up. We have no idea how large this update will be or what’s included, but I and many others are hoping that it’ll include the extension of the PvE map, if only a couple of zones with more on the way.

Now, I’ll take a full sized expansion with a continent’s worth of zones, new skills, a new race, new story and a new dragon, but I’m not holding my breath.

Just assume that none of those things will be added to the game in 2014.

OP, you should spread your wings a little bit and do some research. Developers (Colin for one) have said that most of the things you want will eventually make it into the game, but at a later date.

They can’t say a new map will be out next month and then have techinical issues that pushes that back (AKA Precursor Crafting). Then the community get’s enraged because something was “promised” to them and it didn’t happen.

Just play the game and enjoy the things that come. You know, the new things you get for free. Eventually the stuff you want will be here. If you don’t have the patience, take a break and come back later when it’s here.

New classes: good luck with that. Theyc an barely handle the current 8.

New Races: good luck with that, they can barely design armor for the current 5.

New PvE maps: why bother? players don’t bother with new maps after the initial hype and DE don’t seem to have enough draw on their own to keep people on new maps. The question is why bother, when it taeks less work to make a cash shop item.

New weapon type: good luck with that, they can barely make decent skills for the current weapons.

Housing: Honestly, I personally don’t see the point of them. What exactly do they add?

The point being don’t expect any of those things until the base game is fully fixed. The base game has a lot of issues that adding any of those things will only make worse.

The question I want to ask is, why would you want a new map.

Half the current maps in their current form are basically maps you explore for 5 mins and go, oh, that’s quite pretty, and then move on. They need purpose.

There’s no point in making more maps until the existing ones are actually fully fleshed out. You wouldn’t slap one stroke of paint on a canvas, call it a masterpiece and start on another painting, would you?

Which of the games current problems would a new map solve? None.
It would just be more piling on stuff without fixing existing problems.

- I wonder what kind of thought process went in developers heads there. Let’s create this new and exciting map and use it as a mere placeholder for people who are actually queueing for the old WvW.

Queueing for old content? Surely they must be preparing for server merge.

I could be mistaken, but I thought the heavier servers were getting queues for WvW during the season?

Peoples responses to this simple, obvious question are just ridiculous. It’s like people read these topics and must disagree, regardless. Of course we all want new maps, anyone who says anything different is awaiting a response so they can continue to troll. Anet could easily tell us what they are working on. That would have no affect on anyone except those who want to know what they are working on. People are responding saying “Why would you want a new map” and “EotM is a new map” and “What problems would a new map solve”. It’s almost laughable the responses some of you have to something that is common sense for players to stick with any game. Especially those who’ve done map completion 4 times and feel that waypoints have made the game feel small. Don’t listen to anyone saying anything except supporting your question OP, because it’s a solid one and needs to constantly be brought up. They are Good questions. Hopefully we get new content soon, or those players who need a change will leave on or around 4.14.14.

Just wait for GW3 already. You can continue on from there.

Those servers get queues on a daily basis with or without the season thing going on. There were also some issues they ran into as they are beta testing in China. My interpretation of what they said about that is basically in the Chinese market tolerance for the wait is much lower than in the western market.

After the reaction to Southsun Cove, I don’t expect any further PvE map expansions. They won’t admit that it was a mess, so it must be so unpopular because we just don’t actually like New Zones.

Instead, anticipate Living Story updates trying to convince us to be excited about unpopular parts of the existing map, like the current clusterkitten in Lornar’s Pass.
