Guild Wars 2

As i understand, there is no Expansion Pack on the table at the moment, or any plans for one.

And this living story/additional content is updating twice a week. (And i love it by the way)

So my thougts then are as following;

1. Will we ever see the addition of new playable races, in the future of GW2? And if so, how long do we get to wait for it?

2. Same as above, but with additional proffesions.

3. Will we see the introduction of new skills being implemented, like a “Skill Update”.

4. New weapon types for all proffesions, I’d love to see this.

5. New “Epic” boss additions.

6. More on the Dragons movements.

Amongst other things, Will ever see any of these?

They should make new races and just make them purchasable in the gem store. That’s what Dungeons and Dragons Online did, and it worked out well.

They have said in interviews in the last month yes to pretty much all your questions. They intend to use the Living World updates to add all those things. They didnt give a timetable though. There will be a video blog at the end of the month that might give us more details.

Note that they only said that they could do all those things, not that they will do all those things. And personally I hope they will never add any new professions.

I’m just wondering more or less what arena net has planned for us, like tasty details, something to look forward too.

I believe if we see anything new soon, it will be a new race and/or a new weapon type. Of course we will most likely be seeing Tengu, as they already have a city, and space for their own 1-15 zone.

If we are going to be seeing any new weapon type, it won’t be new I bet. It’ll be an old weapon type that just never made the final cut, the Polearm (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Polearm) there are already various in game models of these, including a PvP legendary.

If we were to see any new classes, there is slim to no chance of having ritualist or dervish making a come back. This is due to Engineer is pretty much ritualist, just from a technological standpoint. Ritualist can summon immobile spirits, while Engineer can place immobile turrets. Ritualist can summon these dropable ‘weapons’ of sorts, while Engineer has their kits that are weapons and their elixirs. Dervish on the other hand is based off of the human gods, so if we see dervishes, either they will be reworked heavily, or they will be a race specific class, which is still really unlikely, because if the add race specific classes, then there’s four other classes to add, along with the dervish. Paragon is iffy, as paragons specialized in support shouts and anthems, which can be seen in Guardian and Warrior to an extent. If there were to add any class, I’d like to see Chronomancer, a class they had planned for GW: Utopia (Concept art: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Category:Chronomancer_concept_art). Not only do these guys like pretty badbutt, but I believe (Not 100% sure.) that they had these guys already worked out for Utopia. Along with Chronomancer, they had Summoner, but that’s also a little iffy with Gw2, just a lot of other classes that can summon.

Was about to talk about utopia classes also maybe living story in future will have more impact on game.

Still it’s good to hear that some of those options are on the table. I’m currently happy with the race/profession and even the weapon choices right now (though I enjoyed using the whip on my slyvari alt).

I just want to see more weapon skills, give us 5-10 skills to pick from for each weapon instead of having to use the set 5. That I think would be a greater addition instead of adding a new weapon and give the game much more of a gw1 feel.

Id love to see the polearm, and as for the tengu, i really thought “bazaar of the four winds” would give us more about them.

I have been thinking alot about the chronomancer, and time manipulation, wouldn’t that be our current mesmer?

And i think a summoner could work, that has a main focus on summons, like the ranger has their pets.

I’d love to see a new soldier type be brought in trough the living story, or perhaps the current story is warming us in to a new aspect focus classed?

I would love to hear what Arena Net has to say.

Our current mesmer only has one skill that sort of manipulates time, Time Warp, and I’m sure there’s more to it than just making you attack faster and the enemy attack slower, I’m not sure how they had this worked out.

Summoner ~ Necro. Necros can ‘summon’ their own beings really, and do one little basic skill of theirs. I could maybe see Summoner with multiple minions with the ranger pet UI, but that’d be chaos with a lot of minions.

Tbh, the more I think about it, the more I feel we may not get new classes simply due to the fact that our current classes cover a vast majority of arch types and as such would only need new weapons.

New races on the other hand, that I feel is very likely.
