I read about the cancled ex: EOTN on the wiki and i just wanted to know what everyones thoughts were on the cancled classes? Chronomancer/Summoner. I see alot npcs with “warps time” and “summons allies” so maybe these could be possible in GW 2? :P Thoughts?

time magic sounds cool, but at the same time sounds like something a mesmer could do.

summoning… we already got that. necros.

also “EOTN” stands for Eye Of The North, which was very much released, thank you :P and it’s “Utopia”, not “Eutopia”.

Pretty sure Chronomancer and Summoner were part of a wiki article Colin Johanson did for this years April Fools.

I’d rather see new abilities and weapons given to the existing professions instead of seeing new professions pop up to potentially overshadow an existing niche. I still have a bad taste left in my mouth from what WoW did in regards to adding new classes.

Agreed with Garenthal, honestly the current professions have all the bases covered. Any more would be redundant as all each class needs to fill another option is another weapon.

Hell, right now mesmers can already bend time. Time Warp is the skill you are looking for.

Man everytime I see somethign about utopia I rush to read it…only to be let down yet again lol. That whole mysterious campaign and concepts has fascinated me since it’s initial leaking. Really do hope they expand the GW world to include more of the globe, and most notably, Utopia stuff. Time will tell

Actually spelling wise it can go ether way though most people spell it with just a U… stop trying to be pretentious… and acting like your smarter then everyone.

When I heard the term Chronomancer, I actually got really excited. A pen and paper RPG I played a while back included a time-shaping character and the things he got up to were extremely interesting. The guy who played him was bloody ingenious.

Simple things included an enemy which tried to attack us, drew his sword, and the moment he made his first strike, this guy time shaped the sword back to the time where it was still in its sheath…

Investigating a ruined temple, the player used his skill to temporarily restore it to the time when it was intact so that we could collect vital evidence as to what happened there.

I’d dearly love to see a playable class with something like the same abilities. For example, having an enemy that aggro’d, and being able to restore it to un aggro’d state while your party passed could be a useful support skill.

Personally I’d like to see a EUtopia campain – where EU servers can go to overflow and everyone accepts it and gets along and doesn’t over-react to seeing other languages used in game.

Chronomancers were explicitly stated way back when in 2009 (or 2010?) that they won’t ever be in GW2.

Truth be told, with the eight professions, you get just about every playstyle niche there is – anything else will clash with other professions simply for a change in aesthetics. Its more likely we’ll get new races rather than new professions.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Or new possible weapons sets to give some variation on skills and styles of play.

I agree with Konig, new races are easier to fit in, and new weapon sets for existing professions is do-able, but new professions would start to get weird fast. And I don’t know that chronomancer would work in an MMO that well, no matter how cool the concept is in theory. It’s good in a role-playing game where the players can be creative and the GM can accommodate things.

On the spelling issue, it’s not really pretension, there is actually a difference. ‘Eutopia’ means ‘good place’, like a paradise or perfect society – which is part of the reason people often misspell it that way. ‘Utopia’ (which is the name of the original book) means ‘no place’, as in a place that doesn’t or cannot exist – it was meant to be sort of ironic, as it is a perfect society, but there isn’t any such thing in reality.
