Whats wrong with asking for different pvp server with pve maps? Or maybe ppl turning on/off pvp option or duels in pve areas? I guess for blinded fanboy's it's blasphemy. I wish they add different play styles as well and not only more of the same.

"Oh.  Yeah.. and there's this new island, we just discovered."

"Oh.  Yeah.. we want to expand again... lost uh, trail to this uh...dark forest.."

"Oh.  Yeah.. new continent!"

"Oh.  Yeah,, undersea kingdom!"  "Monster Isle!"  "New planet!"  "uh.. core, inside our world!"  "Fantasy starships!"

MMOs expanding just create some silly-buggers.   You gotta deal with it, if you want new stuff.

Maybe this finally will shut the people up who have been saying that B2P games cant add the same amount of free content as P2P games can.

This is at least as much as P2P games add.

Yeah, somebody should put a stop to it!

Where will it all end?!

The new island is not a full-sized map, it's a medium small map that will play out a storyline.

Well there goes my all excitement.

Good Morning,

I don't know half I would say wait and see what they mean by medium sized..for instance a comparison of sorts. Orr is really big so I'm sure it could not be as big as that.

Sidad: I'm curious why you want open world WVW. I'm not knocking it but from my playing of TERA didn't they have that where you could get attacked as soon as you left the village or town, etc. I just remember people ganking me as soon as I left and that wasn't very fun at all. However perhaps a server dedicated to that very thing would be nice so both sides could have their cake. I would never create a character there but it would be a place for people who share your common interests as well.

I'm looking forward to the patch. I think they are doing a great job on updating the game at regular intervals only surpassed by Trion. I'll be floating from this back to Rift and vice versa so it will be an interesting two months for me. Good thing that thanksgiving is coming up and I'll have 4 days to myself while my girl is away visiting family...woot!!!

Dungeons: Personally while I like that the dungeons are hard I have yet to actually beat any part of an explorable mode one. I would actually like to beat one if possible so tweaking perhaps should happen. It's just idk they seem overly tuned and tedious. No matter what traits i use or what party I go with I can never seem to beat any version of explorable mode. Perhaps I should find a dedicated group of people.

Are you talking about entire ORR or just cursed shore? i doubt this map is as big as three maps which are combined together and called ORR.

It is a 'medium sized small' map which sounds even smaller than cursed shore. And seems it focuses more on storyline.

They have to sell expansions too down the road, so make sense that they won't give huge zones as free content updates.

Doesn't bother me that its medium-sized, whatever that means.. it's the storyline bit that's concerning.  Like the entire island might just be a 5-man instance.  Or worse, a personal story extension.

They might be referring to its DEs, though.  That they tell a story of some sort.

That's like asking for a PvE server in Planetside 2 or complaining that there's no friendly fire in Team Fortress 2. It won't work. It can't work. It will never happen. If it's a deal breaker for you, stop complaining and go elsewhere.

Duels will probably be included at some point, but if the game is boring to you without them, you should probably go elsewhere anyway.

[mod edit]

 

you know what game you are buying and now you complain, typical

The dungeon is kind of neat, but it isn't going to fix what is wrong for most people.

This content was probably worked on well before release and just finished after release. It is also right after release so their coffers are full. I would still take the wait and see approach until six or eight months after launch.

For almost every other MMO i agree with you, but not so much with GW2

The ingame map of GW2 has no 'borders' (I mean, we havn't uncovered all the land yet). So we know it's already there, we're just waiting for MOAR maps :)

Think i read somwhere the plan was to release a new 'expansion!' every year or so.

SO YEA, it'll be a wait and see but if they can pull it off (the did with GW1 btw)  IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING =).

Expansions in GW1 were bigger then the original campain so i don't min throwing 60 bucks each year for an entire new world =)

unless they changed their minds originally they said expansions would be a year+ between them since the game was a much bigger scope than GW1 6 months expansions wouldn't be feasable..

Sometimes it's in the lore for these things to happen so sometimes it's actually waranted.

There's already a game like that... it's F2P and it shares the same publisher as GW2.

It's called Lineage 2. Check it out if you haven't, it's all the PvP fest in a PvE world you seem to care so much about.

Life is about choices, sometimes easy, sometimes hard. You have an easy one here, game that you like and doesn't have 1 feature you really wanted (booo hooo) or game you might not like but has the feature you really wanted (yay open world pvp zerg fests).

Really easy, choose one, go play it, and keep your suggestions to the official GW2 suggestions forum if you don't want to be flamed and treated like an heretic for your ideas. If you want to keep posting here you have to leave your dignity at the door, no one here cares how you feel about something, especially if it contradicts the way they think.

Peace!
