MarkVonPlay.7391 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 GW1 and GW2 are two completely different games. I think both games can exist co-existent.It would be nice to see Guild Wars with modern DirectX 12 and Raytracing. It also would be great to see a new campaign. There is so much landscape, that isn't exploredI'm sad to see, that World of Warcraft is still in development and get new campaigns and GW1 not. Please Arenanet: Give GW1 new life.

Galphar.3901 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 For me the only things wrong with Guild Wars was No Open World and No Jumping or Swimming. I loved the Dual-Professions, the content was great and the PvP was the best. When A-Net announced GW2 I thought we would be getting a GW with updated graphics and an open world to explore while also continuing the story or the Elder Dragons. So yes I would definitely go for a GW1 "remake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 You have to remember that Anet have outrightly stated their focus is on GW2. Many projects have been dropped and staffing levels/resources shrunk after the lay offs. If they thought there was enough money abd resources to warrant doing it at this stage and not take away any focus on GW2, they'd do it. But, given that areas of GW2 are desp clamouring for attention and not getting it, I can't see them doing this. Remakes can be popular, but a remake of an older semi-mmo style game which is still running perfectly fine, albeit with lesser gfx, is a riskier propositionI would be more than happy to see a tarted up GW1 mind you, but given thsi suggestion has rolled around for many years with no known interest from Anet, I'm not convenicned it'll ever happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJin.4127 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 With all the blinding and painfully bright visual effects and the mess of incomprehensible visual clutter that often turns GW2 into a mindless mess, I do not want the GW2 art team to go any where near GW1.

kharmin.7683 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I prefer the open world style of GW2 over the instanced content of GW1. So, no for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 As to the comparison of Guild Wars and World of Warcraft, that's where Guild Wars 2 comes in; Guild Wars 2 is a true MMORPG with an open world, rather than a CORPG as Guild Wars.I loved Guild Wars, but I prefer the true MMO over almost all instanced content.

The Greyhawk.9107 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 While I am fine with the small QoL improvements GW1 has been getting over the years, I don't agree with a full remastering or any new campaigns or xpacks for the game. For one I dont trust the current iteration of Anet to not screw it up. Its also my view that aside from the missing Elona GW:B content GW1's story is effectively complete. I only wish, like a lot of other gw vets, that a little more of GW1 transfered over to GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 If Arenanet doesn’t want to make new content for gw1 maybe they could contract it out to others to make new content for a cut of the profits. Since it would be too hard to keep any new lore compatible with gw2 it could be understood that none of the new lore is canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Why would they add ray-tracing in Guild Wars 1? What is it gonna offer the game? Or DirectX 12 for that matter. Guild Wars 1 is a well optimized game, for its time, running very well even on terrible PCs of the era. And obviously it runs flawlessly on current hardware, even with the rather recent graphic updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirine.6852 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I would do all of it again if GW1 would be updated with the latest gfx. Probably impossible though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it would likely need a new art style, and I shudder to think what the current iteration of Arenanet would do to GW1 overall appearance and atmosphere.

mindcircus.1506 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Diverting developer resources into a project like this would be the best thing for Anet to do if they wanted to to drive me and the money I spend on this game to a different franchise.

Please Arenanet: Give GW1 new life.Lol directx12 and ray tracing for GW1 you are kidding right? GW2 which is a better designed game don't even have that so GW1 will never have it. GW1 i agree should get some campaigns here and there. WoW does not have campaigns they have expansions. GW1 has campaigns which are stand alone compatible games [meaning you can just play one or combine them.]The reason GW1 is still active is so people can work on the Hall of Monuments if they want.

MarkVonPlay.7391 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 It has to re-developed, thats clear. But other games showed, that it is possible if the developers do it right. And new campaigns or expansions. For me, it's the same :D.The main reason I love GW 1 is, that it is easy to learn and easy to play. It's just relaxed. I use click to walk and the buttons 1-8- You don't need more. Because GW 2 doesent't have click to walk I dont have fun with it. (as you can read here) But I love the hole gameplay and the scope the game gives me.@Arenanet: Why don't you do not a proof of concept? Re-Develop the Prophecies-Tutorial and look how the gamers react to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and a friend just re-played it, even bought new full accounts, just for the nostalgia of doing so. My son then had linked accounts of course, so got all the free goodies in GW2 that he unlocked along the way. I don't think they have played GW1 since Genshin Impact came out, though, so even nostalgia only goes so far. They enjoyed it, though.After playing GW2 I would have a really hard time going back to GW1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 If the original art team would come back and modernize GW1's visuals, I wouldn't mind it.But the current GW2 art team needs to stay far away from GW1.That excessive shininess would only ruin it, just like it keeps making GW2 visually worse.

Turning on v-sync solved that. Since then I've updated the PC to 3840x2160 screens and an RTX 2080Ti, and I'm disappointed to find that GW1 can "only" manage 400 FPS. (But it runs fine without the glitchy stuff it had before.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namelesswc.9217 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I would love if there was a guild wars 3 in the works with a more traditional combat and map system. I hate the open world content. It's all running in a zerk and doing brain afk auto attacks. Once the zerg leaves after the meta all the events are not profitable because it takes to long to do them and many can't even be finished solo.

WoW has already had multiple upgrades to the game to the point one could argue modern WoW is so far removed from original WoW (even classic is fairly different) that it is a new/different game. That is the power of having subs and the cash flow it brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic wasn't a "remake" but more of a re-release, and again there is no sequel to WoW either only expansions so it's the same game just in different builds.What OP is suggesting is remaking/remastering Gw1 and creating new content for it which is a lot more than WoW did by releasing classic.
