Guild Wars 2

I know some threads have said a while ago that there might not be a gw2 expansion anytime soon, but maybe there’s a possibility for a christmas expansion? It’d be nice to be able to get out into some new zones, though the map right now is still pretty huge, it seems really small suddenly cuz lots of people are jumping from zone to zone pretty much just for world-bosses now, and it seems to get redundant.

I realize that anet has spiced up the Teq fight and I think that’s awesome, adding more teamwork and different mechanics that makes the fight a lot more interesting and challenging… and also i heard that anet said they were probably going to fix/change/add some things with all the dragon bosses at some point that would make the fights a little more diverse than just everyone gathering in one spot, buff, spam and kill.

If a new area or zone were to be introduced sometime soon-ish, what area would you like to see open? Ring of FIre, Woodland Cascades, Far Shiverpeaks, Maguuma Wastes, BLazeridge Mts, Blood Legion Homelands, Crystal Desert/ Scavengers Causeway, Isles of Janthir, Tarnished Coast/ Strait of Malchor, the other half of Orr, Deldrimor Front, Dominion of Winds?
It’d have to tie into the story wouldn’kitten Maybe the living story could have something to do with a new zone… idk

Just some thoughts here :/

An actual paid expansion? For all we know never.

But anet has not ruled out new areas being added in a regular update as far as I know.

We do know we’re getting new skills in 2013 as well.

I’m hoping the first new area(s) we get will be the Crystal Desert if/when it ever happens.

Crystal Desert would be a nice area to get back into. Love to see how it changed from GW1. Also would love to see Ring of Fire islands, as that was my favorite area in GW1 Prophecies.

definitely. Crystal Desert would be some awesomeness, though it is one of the other much larger territories and who knows how much time it’d take to develop zones for it n everything else. it’s huge!

There’s a lot of people who love doing pilgrimages, and it’d be amazing (if charr) if they started from Blood legion homelands, and traveled all the way to and through the fire islands.

That’s how the Teq change could have been handled,, Not by changing TEQ, but by opening up the map/zone—making a new dragon for it— and areas to explore.
The way they changed TEQ and the timers everywhere—not for me, but then again some liked it too.

Crystal desert? Pass. I’ve had my fill of undead thank you.

if im correct on the lore of the crystal desert, Zhaitan, Kralkatorrik and Palawa Joko are dukin’ it out there 24/7 XD so i don’t think I wanna walk in on that…

However, it’d be sweet to check out woodland cascades and isles of janthir. (surprisingly, there really isn’t a whole lot of lore on some of those places. Hardly more than 2 sentences…meh)

This game has a lot of ocean areas , maybe they could add Shing Jea island where my GW1 character was born . I would also want to see the Bokka Amphitheatre again , I still remember looking at it with awe when I went inside one of the interiors and the god rays was shining and the drapes was glimmering . ( Bokka Amphitheatre could be seen in the Nightfall trailer video . )

We will get zones without an Expansion, we already got 2 and 1/4, southsun cove, the labyrinth cliffs and the Crown Pavillion.

Even though there’s not much to do in southsun cove, its design is pretty awesome and detailed, the labyrinth cliffs were decent and will return.
You can see the Crown pavillion as an area too and we are getting a new dungeon path with the next update, you could also see that as a new area.

They will be forced to do it because more n more people lose interest in their game that goes nowhere.

Ah, Nuka Cola again, the Villain of Vayne, could make a good movie out of that.

Ive lost interest because of the general direction. Quick and poor LS updates. They should have a tequatl update every patch…thats the type of content we need. Add in some more zones, get those skills into the game, etc.

But for me, it might be too late. I just don’t feel like grinding out ascended gear. I had my BiS stuff. I spent many runs in whatever dungeon to get it. I spent a lot of mats building my Lyss and Ilya. Id have to grind out new gear, transmute them, etc. Just not sure i have the energy to fight this uphill battle with arenanet and guild wars anymore. This was to be my grindless, gear treadmill less game. Guess not. Thinking of heading back to other gear treadmill games where I expect it.

I digress.

They need to pump in serious content. While SAB looks cool and is popular, they need to stop with the carnival crap. So sick of it.

I love both the ring of fire islands and the crystal desert.

I wonder when they’re going to start expanding the story to include new lands… Maybe after Scarlet plot line? cant wait

Unless I’m mistaken, the latest info from Colin Johanson on new zones/areas was “We are still discussing if we will do paid expansions or expand the world with the Living Story”, meaning they haven’t decided which method they will use yet.

So, first of all, for our sanity (as players) and the good of the game itself, they should finally DECIDE if they will introduce new areas with an Expansion or through the Living Story. When that decision comes we might get something other than filler content (current LS) for a change and get new zones instead.

I believe they are already working on the new zones, no proof, just a feeling, so it’s only a matter of picking one method of delivery over the other. Or do both. But do something…

I think NCSoft is behind the ‘not sure on living story or pure expansion’- world expansion. They are uncertain wich is best way to earn money. And by stalling time, they are damaging the game sadly. If you are reading this, NCSoft president (most likely not), then for the love of god make a decision.

i want Cantha >.>

southsun was alright, but karka
labyrinthine cliffs were really cool and i liked it a bunch. hope it does come back.
Then there’s crown pavilion. essentially zerg-farm arena. it was good for loot and leveling though.

I’m not sure why you’d expect a zone expansion from ANet to end up any better than Southsun Cove did. It would the same people developing it. If you want any kind of clever new content, you’d probably be better off asking ANet to open up the game to third party mods.
