Guild Wars 2

P.S. There is plenty of threads to channel your rage over the price of HoT but please be realistic here. I want to open up some old subjects about what this expansion will most likely bring to the Guild Wars game, lore, and content. ECT.

Enjoy.- Tearthy Flame.

Now there is many sides to this Pre-Purchase, The Entitled, New Players, The Veterans, Overall everyone is in a fit or doesn’t care much about what is being purchased in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns. This Expansion has been in development for over a Year at least, good chance is a minimum of 2 years. That’s months of bouncing ideas about Lore and improving the game macanics. Trying to get the slightest idea on how to do it right! That’s what Anet wants, at least, is to do it like no one has before. DO you want ArenaNet to rush the game and release another Zhaitan!? The Dragon of Hugs, the 1# killer of your (2) key: Because he makes you angry and disappointed! These are very old jokes but my point… This is a prime example of doing something NEW in the MMO market and GW2 has been here for nearly 3 years now, and they have been under cover working on a secret project (HoT), learning from the real game world. All the wrongs and greats they have made wake. GW2 is a different MMO beast, and if there was more imagination into the fights it could be a Ultra Beast, but with all the in-depth work into the coding and animation and sounds and the And’s can go on forever… Also thee best visual/macanics for jumping ever, you cannot find any better! With all the core components that make up GW2, we get a amazing game, prone to a ton of glitches and Arena net has to deal with this amazing beast! But it has all been possible. They even dare to scrap and expand on these cores, and that is very challenging too do. Cutting up the traits and skills, reworking effects to happen in combat. Heart of Thorns ensures your going to continuously get a brand new game, a game that is updated and expanded on. HoT may not be worth it at first because we, the player base, want a atchual expansion on story and content and more maps and bosses to play and kill, to keep us here for many more years. We will never get a fix on the Zhaitan fight, in less it broke beyond repair. (Cross fingers) But that’s not what Anet wants to do, they want to expand on more macanics and creating epic things, it will take time because they are always developing new things to implement into the world.

What the hell were you excited about when we were getting a expansion!? More F*ing game to play! After 2+ long years of killing the same things over and over with no reason other than “Loot! And no Glory! But more Loot!!!” -and so on- we will have this amazing environment forever! It wont be for a week, or, every 2 weeks we get short content and then the game is empty after that period, again… Nooo!? What do you atchually think we are getting from HoT? A new way of telling a story; your character will be in the world with these things happening all around you in the same moment. That’s a lot of kitten work. Your buying into the base of what Anet wants to development GW2 into! That’s Unknown but it is exciting to see a milestone happen in the beginning of game’s development. We are also going to get a new Elder Dragon to Slaughter and probably beat to death with a thousand Juggernauts! Power over level 9,000! AHHHH!!!! (sorry lol) We are getting new things to kill in inventive ways. And with are professions developing more by the Specializations, combat will become even more crazy. But, You must know by now that Anet will have to add: NEW WEAPONS! Because what we have now wont allow the specializations too progress very far, if there is no more tools to use… And new AI for monsters!? What challenging content are you worried about!? This isn’t GW2 in 2012 Its 2015 and technology develops fast and is easily outdated by the next patch. The Developers are the only thing that can make and break the game by not updating the Macanic’s: “How else will we fight Steve/Bubbles, the Deep Sea Dragon!?” YES.. Gw2 is slow in progress but Anet improves the game and keeps it up to date, it isn’t based on old and slightly improved code like FFXIV, thus so many reasons GW2 is a Beast. You should be worried about how the AI is going to Rick Roll you to death. Same concept could applied to yourself being an idiot in a fight. I believe everyone is forgetting what is in this expansion, the work that is invested into how GW2 is really developed. Yes this is a casual game but remember GW1? It’s possible the same thing can happen, content will troll you till you finally defeat that enemy and it feels good: It is Self Rewarding for the player.

About the story. Sylvari, are battling with a choice to give into their true nature or go against the Rouge Wave, and the fact there could be a dozen more pale trees in the world does change things and killing the creator of sylvari could have a massive affect on the race. Mursaat, is an Ancient race that has fought against the Elder Dragons and we will need their magic to fight against that unstoppable force of nature, in the now and future, and have to help in return to rebuild the Mursaat race. The Elder Dragon, Mordremoth, he is everywhere like a weed and is literally nature, Thorns and Flowers . . . and he is SMART, he has the intention to kill with a reason and we don’t know why yet. Unlike Zhaitan: Who is a character of greed and needs to feed on all the powerful magic and artifacts he could find, overall being a force of destruction. These are basic needs of what the Elder Dragons were suppose to be. But ArenaNet may be changing this concept to drive a deeper story into their “Illogical GW2 Lore”. What do you really think this story will open up? I think it opens up the possibility that we need ancient and powerful magic of the old races, thus busting open a lot of lore into the game. And we need that lore to finish what was started in Eye of the North with Primordus, Jormag, Kralkatorrik, bring back the old lore to vanquish the new and old Flames of War.

I believe this is the start for better Boss Battles too kill: The Elder Dragons.

I hope my point has been shared well and explains the things that we might get in the future of Guild Wars.

Question: What do you think we are getting in the long run from the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns, Expansion?
