Guild Wars 2

This is just my concerns about HoT;
How big or how much content will be there in the expansion, well I am sorry in advance but the way I think of an expansion is by comparing it to other games like original Guild Wars or WoW
Original Guild Wars first expansion was quite as much as an entire game, lots of maps and content, what worries me is in HoT seems like it’s a “Polished” living story
Basically as far as been released HoT will be in Maguma Jungle and I doubt it would be more than 5 areas “maps”
I hope I am wrong because the new WvW map will take part of tyria, the new Guild Halls as well
If it showed up eventually to be just 5’ish areas that it would be a real shame and disappointment
I’m not looking for an answer because I know no one knows how much will be released, but based on the Beta weekend notes, what we experienced is 23% of HoT content
I hope I am mistaken.
In the end, sorry but this is my concern and just expressing it.

For our first 50 bucks for GW2 we got 25 playable zones, and that does not even include PvP or WvW.
Looking back to GW1, each expansion was a stand alone campaign in itself. Also, each of the first 2 expansions added 2 new classes.

If, for our next 50 bucks (more if you pre-ordered a premium package), we only get a handful of playable areas, along with the one new class, I will be sorely disappointed. Frankly I will feel robbed.

I am counting on ANet to be consistent in what they call an expansion.

That’s because the first ‘expansion’ to Guild Wars was an entire game, and sold as such.

We are experiencing nowhere near 23% or 25% of HoT content. What was stated is that the Beta map is 25% of the first map that will be available at release, and that it is comprised only of jungle floor; no canopy or underground at this time.

You can see some of the new maps (just a bit in the mini-map) in the Livestream from Gamescon released today.

Good luck.
