Guild Wars 2

IndigoSundown.5419:

The thing about game development is that someone has to pay for the development of a new game. As it is, NCSoft no longer publishes GW2 — ANet assumed that responsibility some time ago. Now, if NCSoft were interested in supporting ANet in setting up a PvP only game, well, they’re free to work that out with ANet management. Given that they still wholly own ANet, I doubt they’d be interested in a third party assuming that role. As of this date, there is no word that NCSoft is interested in ANet doing anything but producing the next expansion.

If NCSoft isn’t going to front the cash, that would leave ANet needing to find the resources to do so. As it is, ANet is apparently funding continued development for GW2 out of the game’s revenue. Unfortunately, their efforts don’t seem to be enough — either in quantity/frequency or quality — for a lot of GW2 players, to the point where gem store revenue has dropped off. Taking devs off GW2 development cannot make that better and in all likelihood will make it worse.

I doubt this idea would happen.

NCSoft already have one Moba title in development
MASTER x MASTER so far from what ive seen it looks kinda okay, the ideea of having a shared universe with other NC Soft published titles is nice . So maybe if MASTER X MASTER does okay in terms of players base and revenue NC SOFT might be interested in other original Moba /Esport games

@Serios7083 Are you refering to the Amazon Game Studio`s BREAKAWAY , if so it was one of the insiprations of this post… i saw it played on twitch once and couldnt stop watching for hours… i had no ideea it was made by former ANET developers.. Cool !

Most of those ex-ANet employees are working on Crucible, not Breakaway or New World. We haven’t seen Crucible yet.

Crucible Reveal ~ Amazon Game Studios

this is exactly the type of game i was thinking of ,even taking the concept a lot further !

Have you read any of the threads about the small development team that creates Raids? Lol.

I would rather the studio keeps all hands on deck, personally.

Good luck.

Yep, I wondered if they did it all themselves or if they roped in a load of people who were supposed to be working on WvW, sPvP and PvE. The fact that the ’big WvW update vanished soon after was suspicious.

I have heard that some people who left anet may be working on two PvP esports games similar to that suggested by OP.

Details and links please ?

Hey Machy here is a better idea let Anet continue on with their own E sport leagues, maybe if you are good enough you can join them. They do have tournaments with cash prizes of $200,000. They are featured on Twitch TV including all the older matches. They also can be seen on youtube.

Yes i know. TBH i prefered the GW1 PvP System and also sadly gw2 e-sport viewer numbers are very low.the game has also a lot of visual clutter and is not easy for everyone to spectate

@inculpatus cedo they can start with a small development team and work their way from their on up… if small studios like HiRez could do it with Tribes Global Agenda ,Smite ,Paladins ,Smite tactics why not ANET . they sure have an amazing talent it would be a shame if they wouldnt experiment new things

@Haleydawn
The thing about Guild wars 2 being an mmo it has to focus on many aspects like PvE. WvW .PvP . Raiding .. making an game focused only on pvp would bring many new oportunities, and less limitations that an traditional mmo bring . I loved GW1 PVP back in the days it felt very fresh for me at the time ,especially the fact you could jump in at max level and have skills already unlocked and equipement and it created an even playing field where skill and build where the important factors

@justafleshwound they could continue making content for GW2 and also develop another game .Considering they are different genres its in their best interes to still create new content and get revenue from GW2 . using the same model as Blizzard or HiRez Studios

Considering the possibility of Guild Wars 3 wont be happening soon.. But also the fact that e-sports are now BIGGER then ever and will only get bigger and more popular in years to come.

Because ARENA NET has some of the best and the most talented developers and artists in the gaming industry . I would love to see them create a NEW and original Action PVP Esport game !!!
They already have the experience of creating an unique PVP with Guild Wars 1 and 2 . Creating an new IP or based on the ideea of Guild Wars sci fi universe (could be part of the same universe as Tyria) where the Champions of the best Guilds in the galaxy fight for glory.. I Would love to see what new and exciting alien worlds and unique game mechanics ARENA NET would Come up with !! Would you guys be interested in playing an brand new Action PVP Game from A-NET ?
