If its as instanced as the Original GW then no thanks... Im looking for an MMO not a single player game that you CAN play co-op on.

One of the most advertised features of GW2 is that it won't be instanced.

The level cap is going to be what? 30? no much different

No one is forcing you to buy anything. Unlike WoW, new campaigns and expansions don't raise the level cap.

i really like games that raise the level cap with expansions. its great to be able to take things further, get more talents skills etc.

Well, enjoy WoW

Stop trolling yourself and than accuse others for the same. He just told you what he enjoys and you are giving your smart ass response. If anyone, its you who is trolling.

I'll probly buy it ,but I'll end up staying with GW1

GW2 cut my favorite things like:

They cut down instanced play

They cut down on heros

They are completely cutting point & click UI

I know I'm apparently in a small group That like these features .

I think even after guild wars 2 comes out they still would make tons of cash by adding more content to GW1.

Even letting us do more with what is already there. (like letting us make henchmen into heros)

Even though Guild wars is the only game I play now a days I've always been stand-offish due to the fact that the devs have an attitude of seeming not to care what the players want only ever added what they thought up years ago.

I'll be buying the GW2 CE  (if its available)

I have faith in ANET

- I've enjoyed all the GuildWars releases, its probably my favorite online game (if I had to choose)

I am buying it. ANet is an amazing company.  And while GW is not perfect, I like that they've picked up on the biggest complaints with it and decided to change them for the next game. 

More balanced PvP, a more open world and limited heroes combined with the great mission system of GW1 sounds like a big win to me.

I am buying GW2. Its going be such a good game. Guild wars was amazing, spent so many hours playing that game. MIght even start it again!

No question in my mind if I'll be buying it - that's a definite yes. 

For you people who are sad about henchies/heros going away, keep in mind that it's been announced that they will most likely have a hero sidekick sorta thing that travels around with you (and, if I recall correctly, doesn't take up a party slot).  You can remove that hero, but you get a buff to equalize not having the extra hand. 

I'm hoping that GW2 does more than just introduce a z-axis and swimming as mechanics...I would prefer if they would introduce some real crafting (maybe difficult to get into, but worth it in the end?) and/or other alternative forms of PvE. 

I cannot wait for the PvP aspect of it - all of the goodness of GW1 with constant World vs World combat?  Yes, please.

^more or less what i think atm. Just hope they will avoid doign pve skills like ursan godmode, make the pve as challenging as it was before we were able to 600/ smite or ursan( remember how dzagonur bastion, and eternal grove was in hm?)

Also some sort of bigger pvp, NO OPEN WORLD PVP, that's just retarded gw never was about that i hope it never will be. The town control/ control  system that was introduced in factions. Add hobbies, crafting, moutns, more loot variety, upgradable loot, sets, more weapon types (maybe crossbows, 2h swords axes).

If they fail to add much stuff I will probably keep playing lotro and jsut play gw2 from time to time (didnt ge god walking for nothing :) )

Much of this is based on rumor, but most is based on published info from Arena Net

I am all for the idea of GW2 being very similar to WoW with no subscription fees and better graphics. I am definitely going to purchase this game.People who dont purchase it  are  >  .

The thing that hurt GW the most were the instances and now they will be almost non existant. Only for the Mission portions of the game which are not going to be that much because they will be cutting down on most of the number of missions and focusing on the more played parts of the game. I hope they still have a thing related to the Faction Battles though. Like hfffing and Kurz Vs. Lux type thing. That made Gw so much more fun and it is always a big thing for the whole guild to do together.

 

DEFINITELY BUYING !!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like the idea of GW2 becoming a wow clone.  The devs have said that they aren't creating another world of warcraft.  I do like the idea of getting rid of the crap in the 1st game.  Yes I will buy gw2. 

I luv GW for all that it is.  I luv everything about it from its simplicity, easy to play, fast pace action, clean UI to art style and best of all no monthly fee!  And I don't mind buyin expansion pack cuz it gives more varieties and new features.  It is a different kind of MMO with heavy instanced but that is still good cuz some times you feel like playin coop and sometimes you just don't wanna bother with other ppl at all and just wanna do things your own way  and play at your own pace.  And that is the reason why I play GW not WoW.. becuz it is NOT WoW.  So yes, I'll buy GW2 for sure  and hope they won't take too much of wat I luv about GW away and add more cool stuffs to it.

Yes, I am buyin GW2 no matter what it turns out as long as it is free to play.  Luv GW1 just the way it is.. pls don't take away the heroes feature and Asian theme/characters.

You are not alone :)

I will buy GW2 because  new explorable areas and I love this Art. If there coming more content in GW1 I will definetly not buying GW2.

I want to buy GW2, too, but we don't really know much about it yet. When is it coming out? 2010? 2011? 2009? GW1 was great, so if GW2 is an improvement, it must be good. I hope they increase the level a little more and I don't mean just giving us skill points after 20. At this point I just want some more info on it.

GW2 development has not even started NCSoft programers are currently tied up with Aion and although ArenaNet has finished the entire (or almost entire) design and look of the game, NGSoft has to produce the ppl to actually make it.  So GW2 release date will set probably shortly after Aion comes out.  My guess is late 2009 now, thanks to the fact that Aion kept getting pushed back due to problems with flight system, a horrid idea in my opinion.

So if you want GW2 out sooner pray that NCSoft just decides to finally let Icarus (aka Aion) fly.  Because the sooner it does the sooner it can burn and the sooner GW2 will be here.

no

Maybe. Ill never preorder a MMO or any game anymore. Im going to wait for the first open beta or release reviews before deciding.

For sure. Although I'm done with GW1 for now, it was the most polished MMO (online game for the anal) I've ever played. I've spent over a thousand hours on it.

Warhammer has my time now, but there's ALWAYS room for a no-sub game. It's also quite reassuring that Anet haven't released any screenies of GW2, real or artwork: it just means they've learned that gamers WILL hold all evidence against you.

YES

Guildwars is my favourite game, playing it for near 2 years. I find this game have very good
supports/update and such more, I could even buy every games from your devs because that.
 

I'll pick it up as long as it doesn't look like one of those Asian free-to-play MMOs.

That was my only gripe with Guild Wars, the graphics looked dated, otherwise it was a great game.

Nah, it was one of the best looking games when it came out and had known graphical updates over the years... I'd say if anything now it looks a bit dated but only because games like Age of Conan have crazy graphics.... It's still a very nice looking game and the sequel will of course be good eye candy.

If you don't like the asian look, then look elsewhere.

I'll for sure buy it it's a fun time and a very solid game. I'm looking forwards to all the improvements.
