Liston.9708 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 As much as I’d like an expansion, I don’t think there is the player base to support it. The gam is 7 years old.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUN YANG.4328 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 are you talking about the map from GW: factions? i love that map. however the map is separated from the main. so really not sure if they will consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Curze.5130 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I dont think it's a matter of "should" at this point rather than "could". They clearly are weary of committing to a long term development like an expac and are instead focusing on short term stints with LS, that should tell us volumes about the current situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palador.2170 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I get the impression that there's a cultural/political minefield they'd have to navigate there. Too often, they'd be halfway done with something, then orders from on high would be to scrap that and do it differently.IF they did Cantha today, I think they'd have to basically level the whole area and have it either in ruins, or rebuilt into something most people don't recognise. Both would make GW1 players unhappy. Instead, I'd like them to consider having some refugees from Cantha show up somewhere, maybe on an island of their own. Give us one taste of Cantha, one aspect of it from one group that survived, then say that the rest is gone or at least unreachable. Then let it go.

Dami.5046 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The whole thing is getting pathetic. If we had gone to cantha first and not the desert, would people moan about others being ' Nostalgic?' I mean they are sure as hell being 'Nostalgic' about the free Built templates GW had. People moan they don't want GW2 to be GW's clone and yet here we are.Guess what, events of the past week make me believe that the haters have really and truly won, so these polls are unnecessary. No need to hate on us that want Cantha anymore.You won. Now get back to moaning about mesmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acheron.4731 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Do I think they should work on any expansion? YesDo I think they could get it done in time with any relevance left? Unfortunately not. That ship sailed after the aug 30th update. The people that were still holding on mostly eroded away and even if they started yesterday...it would be far too long for any meaningful boost to the game. They dropped the ball.Just my opinion.

Tukaram.8256 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Way too much of this game is in the desert. Such a waste. I would love to see Cantha. The fact that we do not have it yet... does not bode well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b k.1648 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They need to be planning for the future, which is such an obvious thing to say I would normally leave that bit out. But it's that consideration that determines whether it's worth working on Cantha.There are two ways forward for the company: try to gain more players for GW2, or work on something else that has a better chance of gaining a future audience. (A bit of both is certainly an option.)More players for GW2 isn't an impossibility, if they can keep releasing quality content that keeps players coming back. It also needs to be good enough that more people return for each release than left after the last one though, which I don't think has been happening. If they can reverse that trend over the Icebrood Saga, it's fair to say a Cantha expansion would provide a significant boost of interest which will put them in good standing for the future.If they're planning to develop something else after GW2, it makes sense to get as much out of the current game as possible while there's still significant interest. In that case, Cantha would also be a good short-term boost. So either way, I feel like it'd be worth their while, whether the goal is a resurgence or a finale to the GW2 story.

NYG.2568 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They should but they won't..They know the game is in decline. No I'm not saying it's dying, but most of the players whom bought the original game and first Xpax are not playing anymore, at least not on any regular basis.Yes, I know a few of you are gonna Whiteknight the hell out of this and say I'm still here and I love blah blah blah.But, If were being honest. it most certainly is in decline which is why the game has gone free to play, to create a false population.While doing this they will spew out sprinkles of new content and monetize the hell out of it, as the game Fades into that good night!

particlepinata.9865 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 No its time for creative new things. I think the LS works well for the balance of good old and new. A new full expansion should now focus on new lands, new stories (preferable not dragons), new things we never seen discovered before, the world of Tyria is much bigger. Not a endless recycling of everything gw 1 related. It would again be a human focused story, which we had more than enough of with LS 3 and Pof.

Poormany.4507 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They really need to have something big (i.e. an expac) after Icebrood Saga to get players back in the game for more than 2 or 3 days every 2-3 months, and that's what most PVE players are hyped for right now since they didn't do an expac after LWS4. Not doing that would be a massive letdown and would probably lose them many players that are holding out hope for an expac in the future. Doesn't necessarily have to be Cantha, but if it was, it would really help bring a lot of players back into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenom.9457 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 An option for “not yet”? There’s some stories they need to clear up here first. I know they can always come back to central tyria but still, it would be weird if that followed the Icebrood Saga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menadena.7482 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 At this point I am guessing most people would be happy with pretty much any expansion. Even if it is 'lets explore Lion's Arch'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They should NOT work on a Cantha xpac YET.They should work on the current Living Story entry, wrap that up with Jormag being replaced by a magically altered Braham (similar to how Aurene replaced Kralkatorrik). MEANWHILE the Icebrood Saga should also foreshadow (or just drop a single cinematic like Siren's Landing) to where the xpac DIRECTLY AFTER the Icebrood story leads.ONLY THEN should Arenanet think about a way to add Bubbles and Cantha into the story for the FINALE of the game.

Which is why I was so happy they announced they would expand some maps. Hopefully that will include old maps too. How often do you see level 80s in non-city core maps unless it is to get their dailies? Some games can keep going for years (Sims and WOW for example) but when people look at GW2 they see something that started out with some good ideas and then went back on them. Even if we never got an expansion again I would LOVE to see them revisit the core maps and reaffirm their original principles. Give us a REAL roadmap going forward, not just some marketing speak that causes people to start looking at what game to jump to next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
