Guild Wars 2

well, besides new zones to explore.

as for me, I’d like to see:

- a couple of new dungeons
- a couple of new in-game armor/weps sets
- some new skills/traits
- a new weapon option for each class

this, obviously, during the full course of the season 2

Tengu

I’m hoping that we get into the zone straight away (mini story instance or something like that) and not spend two weeks getting ready to go through the gate.

- DE 2.0 sucking all of the air out of the room
– “Collect 150 drill fragments from the rubble in Lion’s Arch” achievement
– a whole lot of bugs
– “new items in the cash shop!”.

Well looking at the trailer a couple of times I’m expecting a decent focus on the story. Taimi falling into Mr Sparkles as the sand storm hits, Rox and Broham walking off into the distance, all looks like cinematic sequences.
As for content wise, a new zone (or several, hopefully). But other than that I’m really not sure what to expect. A new race is most likely not going to happen (or if it does I’d be extremely surprised), if we’re lucky a couple of decent non-gem-store additions to the wardrobe.

Usually best just to ignore those posts, since you can’t really do anything about them.

Just disappointment

I am expecting my expectations to be greatly underwhelmed

You see this is why I expect nothing. I’ll treat next Tuesday like any other day; anticipation leads to remorse.

For me so long as the story arch doesn’t involve us having to collect 1000000 airship parts in order to progress I’ll be happy.

I am expecting to actually enjoy the new content other than SAB and Zephyr Sanctum for the first time in GW2. When I first started playing I remember looking at the map and being excited because there was so much room to expand but over the months I found myself disappointed as more was destroyed than was added. I’m a little nervous about that attack on the Zephyrites… if Zephyr Sanctum is gone and they don’t replace it with a permanent version located in Maguuma I will be greatly disappointed.

I’m expecting disappointment, because I’ve learned it’s the best expectation to have if it comes to waiting for another living story.

I always laugh when people see something make inferences OR imagine it, then act shocked when it doesn’t meet reality. It is almost like everything they were expecting was imaginary.

The point being, we don’t have enough information or any information to be excited about or even start making up stuff aka expect the bare mininum when it comes to games and you will never be disappointed. Disappointment exist because YOU the player like to imagine things that will NOT match reality.

It is typical of him. With the amount of complaining he does, sometimes valid most of the times not, it is best to let him get it out of the system and not engage him.

Even if what he said was true, I am sure even him realizes that the other options are not much better than what guild wars 2 currently has or he would be playing those other options. Or maybe he does and just enjoys trolling the forums, who knows.

These forums have a tendency to be very toxic indeed.

I challenge you to show me one instance wherein I criticized this game or its makers in a way that was unfair, unfounded, or otherwise off base. My post history is but a mouse click away, so it shouldn’t take you long. So, have at it.

nothing

Three Blues and a Green~!

Seriously though, from the trailer, a new zone, and maybe a few events. I like the sandstorm we see in the trailer, but I’m guessing that’ll only be in instances.

New races!
New professions!! ( I doubt that, but still... )
New armors, weapons!
New Dungeons...
New Dragon.....
New... oh never mind.

-Playable Tengu (It’d be stupid if they stayed silent after LA was invided right next to them. It’s about time they open their gates.)

-Dinosaurs from GW1 returning (Sure, we have the raptors but I’m talking about the rest that used to live around Rata Sum. Hopefully they aren’t extinct and live at the wastes now.)

-Lots of new armors, weapons, costumes and some new pets for rangers

I expect there will be something linked to the Sinister Triad in Brisban Wildlands. They may or may not be the ones responsible for the attack on the Zephyrites, but given their makeup I find it extremely unlikely they wouldn’t try to at least capitalise on the situation when an airship with rare cargo crashes right on their doorstep.

We may possibly be getting a new zone, and it may be Dry Top. (Those bandits repairing the bridge FINALLY got it done and we can now access the portal on the far side of the chasm.) A level 80 Maguuma zone would be extremely welcome!

The Inquest might be involved given the appearance of the giant golem, and with their links to the Inquest, the Aetherblades may make an appearance as well. (They may very well have been the ones who attacked the Zephyrite Sanctum.)

- one new armor skin for each armor type
- one new skin for all weapons
- about two or three new monster types
- most likely one new zone that is a bit bigger than usual but has some parts of it locked and then unlocked as the season goes on
- one new minigame

and that’s about it. not expecting anything huge. new playable race would be far too huge for just a content update like this. new traits probably won’t happen since there’s still so many that are just not picked at all. one thing i dread is a new tier of gear beyond ascended that would be even more of a grind and even less of a payoff. i hope that doesn’t happen.

I expect trolls.

Wanderer.3248:

I expect trolls.

Cave, jungle or forum?

I expect the group of heroes will be willing to sacrifice Taimi in order to resurrect Scarlet, as she holds the knowledge and keys to the new dragon’s weaknesses.

Because while Taimi is cute and all, Scarlet is best pony!

A new dungeon in following two releases and couple good non-gemstore full armor sets would be cool. Ah and a new zone.

I’m not really looking towards another world boss though. These consume a lot of development resources and get nerfed in couple weeks in general.

As for Tengu, I cannot imagine the reason why they would show up. Maybe some Tengu NPCs (Tsuru Whitewing?) or new NPCs from lesser races/factions.

I’m interested in these sandstorms though. Will there be some new mechanic in new zones? Could’ve been fun.

In general, I kind of look foward to S2. I can complain about lack of content and overall game downhill track, but what would it change? Instead, I’ll be waiting for an expansion and play content from LS they throw at me.

Cheers

What am I expecting from the people who gave us LS1? Not to mention Ascended Gear, the trait system revamp, and Megasuffer…

I expect content that will change the face of Tyria forever! Or at least change it’s left elbow. Maybe the right big toe. Forever! And lots of hot F-key action.

Also, re the trailer:

“See the Canthans? Nice Canthans.” BOOOM!!!

That’s what I expect.

New weapons/skills for the professions.. especially the ones that lack from choices..
New dragon minion
New dungeon
New armour that ISNT gem store -.- and complete set.

Are we talking GW1 or GW2? Though GW1 had its history of totally disappointing on “huge” updates. (Sorrow’s Furnace.)

“Yes”.

I hope for:

2.) New Weapon Types
3.) New Races
4.) New Dungeons

I expect:

1.) One New Zone
2.) Re playable Instances
3.) One New Dungeon.
4.) One New World Boss.

im sorry but im laughing so hard at this topic. there will be no new dungeons. we haven’t had a new one in 2 years. they aren’t gonna start now.

I’ll be slightly disappointed if the new zone doesn’t play any Nightfall music.

I’d love to hear this one especially.

-Aetherblade path in TA. (Which is still there.)
-The Molten Facility during F&F. (Still present as Fractals.)
-Aetherblade Hideout in LA. (Still present as Fractals.)
-Canach’s Lair in Southsun. (Which we lost, but it made no sense to really keep anyway.)
-Nightmare Chamber instances in the Tower of Nightmares. (Which we lost, but again, makes no sense to keep them once the Tower of Nightmares was destroyed.)

To say we haven’t had new Dungeon Instances in the past two years is incorrect. And some people not liking how Anet has handled some things (I.E. making some of them temporary) makes such a statement no less incorrect.

A new dungeon maybe.
A few new skins.
A world boss requiring full cooperation from a completely full map.
A ton of bugs and glitches.

time lab solo mission content . guild hall. more skill and trait. wvw content. new race and profession . . .ect

ha. the TA path replaced a path and counting fractals as a dungeon..? you might as well add both of them to ‘we lost them.. but it made no sense to keep them’ logic because that’s what happened. them returning as fractals does not mean they’re ‘new’ dungeons.

a real new dungeon with its own new paths and new rewards, skins, weapons, etc still has not happened and is very unlikely to happen because since release, EVERYTHING NEW is on the gem store.

I’m hoping for an entire army of twisted watchwork scarlet clones.

Explain why Fractals shouldn’t be counted as dungeons.
Explain why the Aetherblade Path in TA shouldn’t be considered as new.
Explain how every reward you can earn through the living story and through Achievement Points supports the ‘EVERYTHING NEW is on the gem store.’ rhetoric.

I didn’t say fractals werent a dungeon, I was questioning the fact that the only exclusive fractal reward is a backpiece and a weapon set based on rng drops unlike every other dungeon which has its own set of armor/weapons and no rng.

the aetherblade ta path was just.. a new.. path. the argument was there have been no new DUNGEONS. a single path added to an existing dungeon that replaced an old path is not a new dungeon.

Living story has rewards? the backpack skins I can buy off TP? sorry but the only reward based off any skill is a liadri mini. every other LS reward can be bought off tp with gold/gems or farmed for in a zerg where you just continually spam autoattack.

In your own words…

Iplaytokill.1674:

So you don’t consider Fractals as Dungeons? Or you do?

Both those instances and the TA path are new.
Just because /you/ don’t like them does not invalidate that fact.

As for the Rewards from the Living Story… Again, just because you don’t like them (which you have made pretty obvious) does not change the fact that they did not come from the Gem Store.

Anything else you would like to discuss? Or can we stop derailing this threat with these kind of negative untruths and overly biased opinions?
