Cyrin.1035 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 As WP points out in his video: from years back, Cantha has a ton of lore and content that GW 2 must explore. He also claims that a dev mentioned, if Cantha is something the majority of fans want to see and there is a big demand for it, they would consider bringing Cantha to GW 2. We just need to make it clear that it's something most of us want.So the question and purpose of this poll is simple. How many of us would like to explore Cantha in the next new expansion!?

Alga.6498 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Yessss, yeeeesss, oh yeeessss! It's time for Cantha :love: :heart: And alot of the playerbase wish and have requested Cantha to make it to GW2 over these 5 years.We got Elona, why wouldn't we get Cantha aswell? I am sure we'll get it at some Point, hopefully our next expansion! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldirtbeard.9834 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 No, got major distaste for that type of setting after WoW's Mists of Pandaria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 If the old 'Cantha' thread is any indication, I think the Devs are aware of the popularity of Cantha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacchary.6183 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Yes, with Tengu as a playable race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimstone.3807 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd rather not retread old ground. I'd be more interested in new places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighthawke.3075 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 i'd like to go to a new region next, someplace we have never been in guild wars, instead of another nostalgia expac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatemaster.3590 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I want to go back to Cantha, but not quite yet when there's still plenty of map left. Maybe give us playable Tengu first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emberheart.8426 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd like to go to Cantha, but I don't think that there should be two human-centric nostalgia expansions in a row. Let's focus on the norns or charr next, they haven't done anything in a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 As desperately as I want to see Cantha in an updated setting, I'd also like to see new places, like the Charr homelands to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariurotl.3718 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 No, I don't want another human-centric expansion, Elona was monotone and bland enough as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetrules.8359 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 No, as someone mentioned above, I'd love to see more of the charr lands. I never played the first game, but I would like to see Cantha some time in the future, but I've had enough of human stupidity in the most recent expansion. Plus,l if we go to see the Charr homeland, maybe we;ll get to see some of their awesome massive tanks in action. And I mean the ones you always see sitting around in the Black citadel among other places. They look badass, bet I've never once seen them used for anything except decoration.

meeflak.9714 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I really want to go to the northern shiver peaks, it'll be a good change of pace imo and then we can hit cantha after =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I didn't play GW1, so I have no particular attachment, knowledge, or interest in Cantha. But since it sounds like another land full of humans, I'd rather go somewhere new, with new cultures, races and settings.Frozen north would be a possibility, though there already is so much of that in the game it seems unlikely. Still, Jormag could make trouble yet.Oceanic would be a possibility, with islands, underwater cities, maybe extending from underwater to underground, into the Depths of Tyria, where the Asura used to live, and the destroyers hang out now, and Primordius is sleeping.And new night sky graphics make it clear that our world has a moon. What if we could go there? They could put ANYTHING in that environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b k.1648 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Cantha would be interesting in its own right, but I can't help feeling it'd be the second human-centric expansion in a row unless the Tengu are introduced as a playable race. If they can manage that, I'd be in favour. Otherwise, against.Right now, the Norn and Charr nations are looking underexplored and could do with some more focus - at least in the living story, if not a full-fledged expansion. We have still yet to return to the Far Shiverpeaks where there's an awful lot of Norn history, the Blood Legion homelands where Kralkatorrik came from, and we've never seen the Ash Legion lands at all.

Fenom.9457 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I feel we have two or three more expansions before it would be appropriate. Personally, is be fine with them mapping the entire new world map (easily 7-8+ expansions) before going there but due to popularity they could steer the story that way then return to tyria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animi.4617 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not in the next expansion (story wise, wouldn't fit in my opinion), but I would love to see going back to Cantha. I think we will go back when we will face the deep see dragon. Also it would be awesome if with the Cantha patch we would get a new race as well (Tengu).

Dashiva.6149 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Variation in everything. In HoT we explored a previously unseen area of Tyria, and with PoF we got to see familiar locations and fauna. So basically new, old, new, old, new, old...It will probably happen eventually, but we have a deep sea dragon in the way to contend with first!.

OCsoleil I.7504 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 No, please no. It is time for something completely new. I really liked Cantha but it's enough of GW1 content coming back to GW2. It doesn't even make sense that the elder dragons are so concentrated on one tiny spot of Tyria (the planet). If you have ever seen the map of the whole world then you would know in what a tiny area everything takes place. A new area would make more sense and would be more exciting and I'm sure the A-Net map designes would create something awesome. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think overall the story should guide where we go in each expansion and right now there are quite a few plot lines that link to Cantha. The story does keep going all over the place so there isn't anything really focused on that could directly lead to any one area yet.The main reason I want Cantha is that it holds rich lore that connects to all of the races from the Humans to the reason why other races were locked off from it. It's constantly mentioned in the game and can finally open doors to races that still haven't been explored enough including the Largos, Quaggan, Krait, Tengu, The Forgotten, The Naga, and especially the Underwater Dragon. Cantha is also a very hot subject among most GW 2 players original and new. The demand for it is high. The potential content that could come from a Cantha expansion is new, relevant, and game-changing among other MMORPGs. It's just a prime choice for the direction of the game. To not go for Cantha at this point in time would be a hugely missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
