Don#t take it so personal, this is just a games forum. There is a saying, don't worry about things that you cant change, And especially don't worry about good things! Either Anet are about to invest hundreds of millions into the GW universe or nothing will change, that's a GOOD thing. incidentally I have autism and also a very demanding job, and the GW universe has been a major tool for emotional resetting for me, so i do care very much about this game,. Don't always assume the worst about people eh.

? you are going to struggle in life if every rumour affects you like this 🙂

why are you so worried, either GW3 is coming in 4-5 years and we have something to look forward to, or its bait.

Oh i would pay for that, mage is not a melee yoda wannabe bouncing all over the place.

horses for courses, Day 1, an entire new world to explore, all new content, all new skills, more sophisticated engine, same familiar universe, HOM to give continuity from GW1-3.

WOW is different because it has millions of subscribers, GW has a much more niche market that does not have that regular income. As i said earlier there is only so much to buy from the gem store, and no subscription and people build up huge reserves of gold. GW2 is an amazing game, there is no need to fear GW3. I tell you why im excited, have you guys forgotten that amazing first day we got on to the GW2 servers on day 1? Do you remember the pleasure from retrieving your Hall of Monuments skins? A well formed AAA mmorpg opening is a very rare thing, and Anet is one of the few companies that can achieve it. I would also say the idea of a new HOM in GW2 is also super exciting.

and GW1 players said the same thing. People also cry out for new innovative content, and for MMORPG that means a new engine and that massive pre first release invstment that you will NEVER get when a game is in expansion mode at the middle -end of its lifecycle.

god suck up the fear and drama lol. Wildstar failed because it aimed for hardcore raiding, Warhammer online had many design issues and never succeeded, Tera was pay to win etc etc. GW1 to GW2 was highly successful, and the point people are panicking so much is because they fear change, or simply enjoy drama. And i've been playing mmorpg since 2000 thank you very much. GW2 is getting near to the end if its thriving life, this ALLWAYS happens to games, its natural. In reality GW2 has probably 5-15 years life in it, and we have GW3 to look forward to. The alternative? best case we get good expansions every couple years but no real innovating change - more of the same. I love GW2, but I also loved GW1, change is exciting.

exactly,

ofc they cant, all of that is predicated on a new engine.

there's so many exciting options to look forward to: - Imaging they base it on the home world of the human gods for example. - new gfx engine allowing more sophisticated models, gearing and skins. - new professions, new skills - Housing - new PVP battlegrounds. a new Hall of Monuments giving new goals in GW2 with a real end prize If you live life fearing change then all you end up with is a stagnating game with a stagnating player base.

90% hardly (AAA mmorpg). no-one has a crystal ball, i'm just not wracked with fear. Anet handled GW1 to GW2 well which is all we know, so why worry, there nothing we can change, and its exciting to know Anet are investing in the future of the product, right?

and just look at what happened with GW1 to GW2.

lol dear god, what a load of drama. GW2 is not going to shut down for years and years (and thats worst case) In reality this is scare mongering by drama queens jumping to conclusions, and confirmation bias. Anet is very likely to follow the same model they followed for GW1 to GW2. Think on this, games like LOTR still run with a tiny tiny player base. GW2 is going nowhere, and if GW3 is better than GW2 then win for us.

Huge? I don't think so.

lol no its not. Money in my account is wealth I have not consumed. Items i have bough in a gemstore is my contribution to GW2 which in turn gives me pleasure every day. When GW3 comes along i full expect a new Hall of Monuments, and I will certainly be excited at a new MMORPG to play that is also a continuation of the GW universe. My only concern would be where GW3 is not as good as GW2 from a gameplay perspective (i.e the fluidity of combat and build options.)

lol people will moan at anything. We have GW3 to look forward to, in the mean time we have years of play in GW2 knowing we have something new longer term to look forward to. A player who enjoys GW2 is not going to stop playing out of spite, its cutting their own nose of to spite their face. And if a new player is unhappy with GW2 then win for them. This is just negativity for the sake of negativity.

its a game, they aren't real things you know, what matters is having fun. As per GW1 to GW2 Hall of monuments worked perfectly. As for cosmetics, im happy with the multiple looks I have with my gear, there's nothing left cosmetics wise.

This isn't really true, i and many many others have got to the point where we would love to invest more the game, but there's nothing left to buy of interest in the gem shop. So, question becomes what would i buy for gems? - More build templates -Housing (I know not realistic, but i would buy it) then housing stuff, lots of. - Weapons - Dungeons - a new PVP mode, like GW1 Battlegrounds. - new siege weapons for WVW Not new PVE maps. The problem with all this is that many people have stockpiles of gold via wizards vault, which was a bit of an own goal by anet.

how much dmg does it do for you?

There is already a proven and successful solution, Hall of Monuments.

thats not what i was referring to.

the thread chat, not you personally.

honestly people are their silly conspiracy theories. The simple reality is even if GW3 is in development ANET knows fine it needs to up the game from GW2, so at best its almost half a decade away In the mean time play the game, enjoy it.

Titles, skins and recognition, what else would you want exactly?
