SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Didn't the devs literally say there wasn't going to be a GW3 not long ago, like a year maybe? I seriously doubt they're going to make an entirely new MMO when they can barely fund this one. If anything we'd get a single-player game set in the same world.

We've known one project was kept during the great purge that eliminated all side projects and half the staff, that they've been hiring for UE, and so on for a few years now (around the time of Icebrood Saga). There's absolutely no confirmation that it has anything to do with a GW3; in fact the devs have been making many longevity changes to GW2 like the DX11 update, Steam release, etc. Edited July 31, 2022 by Mariyuuna.6508 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 We'll see I suppose. Inevitably GW2's time will come to an end so one way or another I'd like this franchise's design philosophy, and preferably its setting as well, to continue on somehow otherwise I'll likely have to give up on MMOs as the common designs like gear treadmills and the like are unplayable for me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention if we indeed finished all the dragons, the main issue of the lore is solved. The world is finally safe-ish. What else can the devs do to continue without re-creating a whole new enemy faction? Only thing I can imagine is that homecoming idea of an expansion to give closure to lots of things for the race you played. After that. I think the safe bet is making a new game that starts a whole new lore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 It can be a phone based card game for all we know. Or a Rytlock + Logan romance game, who knows. A single job posting doesnt really imply a new MMO. Pretty much all developers will want to at least get experience with UE5 now. And even if Anet *is* working on GW3, as we have noted so many times, we can expect AT LEAST 3 years from the time they announce it. More realistically 5 years as was the case of GW1->GW2. Also Anet still cannot fix a square cornerstone in WvW with an invisible mesh, going on 5, 6 or 7 years now (we dont even know anymore). Even UE5 with premades might be too complicated. 3 1 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiina.4192 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 ANet excels in making questionable decisions, but they know a GW3 at this point in time would be really risky. MMOs are hard to make and especially maintain. Believe it or not, that's why it's hard to keep an MMO truly F2P as well. MMO-scale servers are costly, about as much as having to release content updates, which also requires paying your developers for it. That article is overly-speculative trash. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasgalinj.2763 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 With how the game runs they really should just do GW3 and let this one die. The engine is beyond repair, runs like absolute crap on the most high end of PCs, terrible lighting etc. Just go for UE5 and make something that is actually enjoyable, haven't gotten half way through EoD because the kitten poor performance just kills my mood for it. A PC that can run anything at 70-80FPS on 1440p ultra settings should not struggle with keeping this game at 30 FPS, seriously. 3 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the easy mode , you are allied with the "random open world players and you can try to order them them to guard an area + drop trenches that reduce damage by 50% , Or ignore them . While in hard mode "accidentally" they try to complete their normal quests , while killing you. Every 2nd expanion , we have cross-over why different players have direferent skills and look corrupted (world are merging , who is to blame?) For WvW/GW1/Planetside 2 capture areas : can work between games (like a game inside a game) . Where are 3-7 limited "crusial" areas , for limited amount of players to play from each game . While other minor areas , around that , for ingame-same-game battles Edited August 1, 2022 by Killthehealersffs.8940 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are indeed Guild Wars assets as you could see alot of them used in Cantha. Its more likely that the scrapped project was cannibalised into the latest expansion and the next Living World. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What last patch? The problem here i think people dont understand how much dev time they take to make living world and those map that are just like fast food, do it a bit and thats it. It takes a lot. Instead of developing raids, new pvp modes, new pvp map, rework LFG etcetc... Also what people dont understand is that Gw2 has made 17 million dollars in 1Q 2022 while WoW has made 160 million dollars and FF14 154 million dollars or so. Obiusly gw2 is good populated, but the difference in earning is vast. I hope its not gw3, this has been abused till the extreme and wont sell good. I hope its a new game or gw1 remaster.

LesserHellspawn.3160 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I'm definitely not ready for a Gw3 for years to come. HoT drove me off years ago, EoD brought me back. I have since unlocked all PoF masteries, all central Tyria ones, all Icebrood saga ones. Still hard at work on the HoT and EoD ones. I still have to craft my 32 slot bags, I still haven't even started on legendary armor. All that will take years, albeit in a much more condensed form than if I had kept playing all the past years. So no, not ready for GW2 to go into low population maintenace mode like GW1 just yet. I haven't touched any of the large raids yet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfshade.9251 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The year is 2050, GW3 releases as a mobile game with overly agressive monetising practices. There are no longer classes to choose from, only difficulty settings. On easy you play as a mechanist spamming 111, it is the highest damage option, as well as the preferred support option in all content. On normal mode you play as a firebrand, puking out every boon in existence while still doing respectable damage. On hard mode you play as an elementalist, this replaces all of your damage skills with animation-locked spells, as well as decreasing your HP by 50%, additionally every time you level your damage is halved by a new mechanic called "malicious balance patch". 3 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBaron.6058 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Great news, I sincerely hope GW3 is being developed based on Unreal 5. ANet just needs to listen to GW2 players feedback and GW3 will be awesome. A lot of people are afraid of GW3 because they invested a lot in GW2 and they will be vocal against the upcoming GW3 but... 3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
