Is it just me or do i have just bad luck...

I am leveing a new character through the dungeon finder, its obviously hard to find tanks (I am a healer) and so you wait 15 minutes till you can enter the dungeon because you have found a tank. Upon entering the dungeon in more then 50% of all cases the tanks leaves the group within a few minutes, which leaves you to wait another  15 minutes before finding a new tank, needles to say most people have left by then.

Is this a conspiracy, or are those people actually having fun knowing that now those people need to wait another 20 minutes for a group.

what will be the next big thing in your MMO life?

Or, what game or expasnion could even get you back intoo playing MMO's if you lost interest over time.

What are you most looking forward to

I want to see the biggest most lore filled world possible...

I  want a Forgotten Realms MMO.

(But not a D20 based one) Only the lore and the classes, the spells and Monsters, but with a more MMO based combat systems...  There is so much stories to be told.

I'm more curious about what the new classes will be.

Their claim is 2 Soldiers, 3 Adventurers, 3 Scholars.

Soldiers: (Warrior, ?????) //Im making the prediction that the warrior is a heavy armor class

Adventurers: (Rangers, ?????, ?????)

Scholars: (Elementalists, ?????, ?????)

I am wondering if the Golems the Asura will have will be a Racial Ability....or something class based.

I do remember reading that while no pure healing class will exist, that support classes will exist..Perhaps a Buffer/Debuffer, but all classes to work independently. I wonder if the Gunner Class if any, would be Charr Inspired by their rage.

I am thinking the opposite, rather than thinking what classes will exist in Guild Wars II by analizing the class shot in their site, how about thinking backwards....There are 10 classes in Guild Wars I, They claim Six will return, and two classes will be new and no pure healing class...

Remaining Classes left are Paragon, Dervish, Mesmer, Necromancer, Ritualist, Assassin...

Which of these would you think will be Axed out, and which would be combined or what not? Any ideas on the two new classes?

Think as said before this comes pretty close :

Soldiers: Warrior, Paladin like class

Adventurers: Ranger, Assasin, Rifleman

Scholars: Elemetalist, Necromancer, Mesmer

Its a lot of assumption, it wouldn't surprise me tough if they'd named the paladin class a Paragorn with added Mellee and paladin like abillities. and added the abbilities we know from the mesmer to the Necromancer to create a new scholar class....

I belive that the first and biggest chalenge, that WILL tear guilds apart, will be raid/party content without a healer.

Not eazy or hard, it´s just a new mecanics we are not used too, so guilds will have to start all over their plainning.

I can see in the first months people:

tank: "heal plz"

dps1:"lol heal urself"

tank:"oh yeha i forgo.."

WIPE

tank:"ops too late"

XD

It will be more like all party mebers trying to keep the tank alive with all their healing skills..

And then how will tanks keep agro?

The Challenges of Guild Wars 2 will probably be very similar to those in Gw1...conquer the Underworld conquer Fissure of woe.....complete elite missions with 16 players...capture greens...chest running...I can go on and on...

 

Or you can make your own challenges......

 

Having played GW1 since the first day I can tell you leveling up to the Max and getting bored will not hapen plus Anet will release Expansions which so far in Gw1 have been superb....

 

Anet has found success in Gw1 and have listned to the playerbase and I know they will implement many changes in Gw2 to appease the masses....

 

there is also the trophy challenges and titles that I am looking forward to

Never got to GW's endgame

Just played through Eye of the Norths Story which was an awesome experience...

goemoe writes: NCSoft lacks account security and care. NCSoft attracks bots and moneysellers like noone as well. Wouldn't touch it for money.

This is one of the few negative comments on the GW2 hype page.

And i must agree my experiences with NC-soft in Aion and Lineage 2 where not my most positive MMO experiences for exactly the reason above.

So what can Arena net do to keep NC-softs influence as far away from the game as possible?

I know PvP will be a challenge for all players.  But i will spend the majorrity of my time playing PvE. And i think many people are like me. So what are the challenges we can expect in Guildwars 2 for PvE content ?

Will it be enough to keep PvE people playing after the level cap is reached?

Fails should be part of the crafting system, but also a way to recover some of the ingredients if it failed...

For me the best crafting systems have a variable outcome, producing goods of different crafting quallity dependant on the crafters skill and some luck. 

Makes me allways wonder why people that have no interest in the FFXIV game come to these FF XIV boards?

If i have no interest in a game, i don't read their boards on a regular base.

The question is simple what MMO has the best lore and stories.

LoL

Star wars a sandbox type of world...

Just face the fact that atleast 20 companies have made starwars games and most of them have no connection at all...

If you want a Star Wars sandboxed game, stick with SWG, SW:TOR has a budget of over 100 million and can't afford to be part of the niche sandbox market, they need to be a big succes, and that requires organised action.

Maybe you can talk SOE intoo creating a new sandbox Star wars game based on the their clonewars license.

People need to face the fact that these are 2 totally seperate products. By 2 totally different companies in 2 toally different ages of the same universe.

Taken from the official site:

'There are eight professions in Guild Wars 2, many of which will be familiar to fans of Guild Wars, as well as a few professions new to the Guild Wars world. Each of these professions is roughly categorized by the type of armor they wear: scholars wear light armor, adventurers wear medium armor, and soldiers wear heavy armor. Currently there are three scholar professions, three adventurer professions and two soldier professions.'

Two soldier professions, that means one new heavy armor class. Three scholar professions, might be elementalist, necro and mesmer, so nothing new here. Three adventurer professions means ranger and... what else?

Adventurers should be ranger, assasin and a rifleman type.

I know they were talking about streamlining the trinity in devlogs and what not, but do we expect them to be really different from the original?

If we are to take their word literally, as in there will be no dedicated healers, and if we make a few assumptions... I believe there may end up being the original Elementalist, Warrior, Ranger, Necromancer, and Mesmer present in the game, leaving three new professions!

I suppose they might completely rework the Monk profession, but even if they do, there should be two unique professions to Guild Wars 2.  I don't envision any Assassins, Ritualists, Dervishes, or Paragons, because this game is based solely in an isolated Tyria.

I'm not sure about there being no assassin class, if you look at the professions page on the gw2 website, you can distinctly see a crouching shape to the left of the elementalist that looks suspiciously like some sort of rogue class (unless, of course, it's simply an Asuran model).  I would bet that assassins have bridged the gap between in some shape or form, too many people enjoy that sort of thing for them to simple ignore it.

 Feel pretty much the same. We may not see a traditional "assassin", but some form of rogue/assassin archetype class with its own unique twist.

Just look at WAR. You had Witch Elves which were very very similar to typical assassins with the dual wield daggers, but then on the other side their mirror class was a Witch Hunter which filled the same roles as a Witch Elf (aka Assassin type with stealth, high crits/dps, debuffs, backstabs, etc) but with its own style and without dual wielding daggers but through a sword and pistol combo instead.

As you can see, we dont need to have an actual Assassin class to fill that same role.

 Well they said that there will be 6 professions from GW1 and 2 completely new professions. Most professions will be coming from Tyria as GW2 is based solely on Tyria. And Tyria had only 5 professions.

Not counting the monk as there will be no dedicated healer and the three caster positions are filled with elementalist, necromancer, and mesmer.

So that means there has to be one other profession from the original GW1 and since there are no more Tyrian professions, that sixth profession has to come from Cantha or Elona. And Assassin seems more likely as concept art of a dude dressed in black and wielding two daggers has been shown.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:GDC_2010_daggerbattlestance.png

And i think those two new professions will be a sort of gunman class and a sort of paladin/templar class.

I agree mostly to you....

If you read the Ranger interviews carefully there is information about another ranged class that does not rely on pets..... This should be the gunman or rifleman.  This leaves room for another medium armored type and i just can't envision a game without a rogueish type so i guess there will be an assasin.

The casters are probably gonna be Elementalist, Necromancer and messmer... Where both should have a tree/specialisation a bit more specialised in some healing... as the elementalist has its water magic with many spells that have some healing effects.

Leaves us with the heavy armored warrior and one more type ....  my best guess it would be a paladin kind of type...

Its just wild guessing as some things could just be different, the rifleman could be the 2nd heavy armored class which would leave room for a medium armored martial arts specialist...

All in all more and more things become clear to me... despite not having true healer classes, there will be enough spells with 2ndary healing effects and there will be a lot of crowd controll to keep parties alive.

I live in europe, where can i playtest this game...

i.e.  where is the best and biggest community, in europe or in Acclaim US lands.

SOE doesn't hate Vanguard.

It was a buiseness desisgin to not invest any money in the game but to add it as another trophy for their station pass.

I still blame Microsoft for pulling the plug, which gave SOE the chance to take over. back in those days investors expected for like 20 million dollar to create an ultimate MMO...  By now we all know that the top level domain MMO's costs atleast $100.000.000 to develope.

Considering his user name, I'm going to guess English just isn't his strong soot.

 

You all know that the majorrity of people on these boards might even be non-native english speakers. Give us a break don't bitch about our poor english skills. I know for sure that everyone understood what the OP was trying to ask. Why not just answer that and then send a PM to the OP explaining his gramar faults and he might actually change it.

They have mentioned that not only will they have an AH, but the little bit of detail they gave makes it look like it will be somewhat similar to the system in EVE. Along with that they will also be giving us a web version of the AH so we can access it from a web browser and manage our AH stuff even when we cant get on the game.

For a true MMO, the economy is so important as the backbone of any MMO. A system like Eve could be fun and its working remarkably well for Eve.

A webversion of the AH (espescially accesible from mobile devices) will be another major asset for the game...
