Xar.6279 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Imo ArenaNet should focus on doing offline games. As a studio. Maybe rpg or even something else. And just forget about mmorpg's. Last 7+ years showed that they just can't handle MMORPG genre. They're good in doing new things. Which are kind of innovative and creative.I am pretty sure there's ALOT of talented people in ArenaNet. But it looks like when they do something, then they just can't support it enough to keep people interested.We can see it in every competitive game mode. PvP. Raids. WvW. They do cool things but then it looks like they abandon them to focus on doing another new things. Instead of developing them more and more.Even SaB showed it.

You items will still be there on gw2 (!!!) until server are going down.Gemstore items are no investment as you put it. You pay a fee to get an item. Pretty normal for a live game service.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I think it's been mention gw2 coding is a mess and a nightmare to develope for so maybe anet producing gw3 using cleaner coding is the answer so everytime something's developed for the game it doesn't take so long and isn't followed by a buggy mess on release.

Tiviana.2650 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Naw op , i think that announcement will be S5 and possibly a new expansion. Pretty sure S5 is a lead in to the next expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenedge.9675 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Like WoW, GW2 has implemented such a great platform, why would there EVER be a GW3? GW2 improved a lot of things that weren't possible with the poor hardware from the days of GW1.After the 'suggested' QoL improvements coming with S5, why make another platform. Just keep making rich stories and challenging scenarios.The only thing to make it faster/better would be to make GW2 a bare-metal platform with an emulator module to also do some work, web-browsing or email.

No one said all of GW2 had to be about Elder Dragons beginning to end. Tyria holds so much potential for any fantasy story possible, so whatever comes next, I doubt it will be GW3. I sure hope there won't be a GW3 for another decade at least, because it would suck to finally get a good storyline and pace and all the new updates (build templates, legendary upgrades, UI update etc) added only at the final stage of the game - that's like upgrading a car with all the goodies you've always wanted it to have only to sell it shortly after.

LordEnki.9283 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Honestly I would have preferred GW3 announcement than no expansion and more of the likely repetitive LWS whatever we're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always refactor the code which is an iterative process but by no means would you create a new game due to how the game was coded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard effort spent to achieve it.there are far more potential players coming in Guild Wars universe than there are those that will stop playing Guild Wars cuz they got angry they spent gems on it fully aware that no game lasts forever. It really is strange how people forget that current kids that are not of age to currently play games will be in a few years. We are easily replaced. New games, using modern and up-to-date technologies are the ones that get more attention when deciding what to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 If they do create a GW3, I hope they create it to not be as casual as this game. The worst mistake Anet probably made was to cater almost entirely to casuals and non-gamers. It made the game end up being an MMO on training wheels and put off a large percentage of MMO players. That said, I don’t think there’s any evidence to suggest that they’re working on a GW3. It takes years to develop a new game, and with them letting a third of their staff go back in February to have the remaining refocus on GW2, it just seems unlikely.

Ototo.3214 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Boi I don't want no GW3. Not unless they give me all my stuff in the new game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opopanax.1803 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'd like to see an engine update and refinement to some of their systems (drops and crafting needs a major overhaul). Combat challenge in vanilla zones could also use an update.Otherwise, art style is amazing, content released is good, and the game is still fun to theory craft builds for open world pve.My guess is thwy are working on an RPG.

Gamble.4580 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 There will be a third big expansion before they start gw3 and that’s if they do stay making mmos. And gw3 would be set in the far future so they can go all Tec would be awesome in pvp and the tec awakes some old gods and what not. And thfs can have gunblades!!! Wattttt!

Tinnel.4369 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 As long as you see investment in horizontal progression (legendary runes) there's probably not anything coming but content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 ANet devs have already said that they aren't going to invest in an entirely new engine, so long as there's good life left in this one. The reason they worked on GW2 in the first place was that there were limits to the GW1 engine that didn't allow them to implement the sorts of stories they wanted to tell. Until that's also true of this engine, there's no financial benefit to them to throw away the current investment and take a chance on a new game.

TheGrimm.5624 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I admit I am for the next expansion vs LW. But that said I think GW2 still has a lot more growth potential. That said be it fan fiction or not that supposed leaked business plan from a few years ago is still on track which call for couple of LWs and then expansion, multiple LWs and then expansion. Each expansion being evaluated for ROI to determine if the next one made financial sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad.8701 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Sadly I don't think Anet has the people to produce an expansion or new game.I think the franchise's future is in a mobile game developed by a third party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
