Guild Wars 2

lately i’ve been wondering about what professions and combat will look like when levels are increased.

do y’all think the devs will continue down the easier and safer path for profession development by adding new gear and tweaking a few stats, or do you feel that they will unleash the dogs of war and shake up the meta?

any dev clues or hints to the future of professions and combat are welcome.

Max level will most likely stay at 80.

they have already stated that there may be a levelcap increase someday which is not a big surprise now they’ve changed direction to gear-progression instead of skill-progression like in gw1.

and i think anet will take the “safe” road and abandon everything I loved about gw1, just like they promised….oh…wait….

aaah well….somehow i have the feeling the gw2 team is completely seperate from gw1 team…as if there are two anet divisions…one good and one evil ehehe

all i know is as soon as i have to reequip all over again because of a levelcap increase im gone and anet will have a place on that list where that glowstick mmo-company has the most recent entry

I’m with you. If I have to regear myself then I’m out. I hated that about every other MMO. You work so hard for all this stuff then its obsolete come next major patch. What the hell is the point.

They have said things like, “We will definitely look at increasing the level in the future” and “Adding more levels is something we would like to do”. I think the max level will definitely increase in the future of GW2 because of Anet devs stating they would like to do so. If i’m not mistaken, I’ve never seen them say that they would like to keep it at 80.

If they raise the level cap expect howls of “grind” from those who thought they maxed out their character. You thought the noise about ascended gear was bad just wait.

My guess is… that everything will be the same but with bigger numbers! Yeah…

While I would enjoy toying around with builds that were previously impossible I would also be extremely annoyed since I’d have to once again farm for full exotics/ascended gear for my 8 characters.

I hope the wont increase the level cap.

What’s the point? If you increase it by 10, i will reach it in 2 hours. The problem is all my gear, all the dungeons, crafting, mystic forge, pvp balance, etc (basically everything) will have to be re-adjusted.

I’d just rather quit

I don’t support an increase in a level cap, unless it’s an expansion which works independently from the main game itself.

However, if there is no level 90 gear (or whatever gear at the new level cap), then I wouldn’t mind it too much as I wouldn’t have to replace my gear, plus I would get 10 extra trait points.
