All future chapters will be mostly about PvP. PvE content will be trivial and the storyline will be lame and much too easy to complete.

oh wait ..... that's Factions

That one update where rarity of items matters and where they remove pvp.

...would totally ruin the immersion! Like WoW has proven, we need cartoony graphics!

Luckily, I have access to screenshots of the next version of GW, and I can tell you that it's thankfully almost as cartoony as WoW:

Peace out, whiners.
I hope that post was all sarcasm because that cartoony crap is **** right ******* ugly (stars by me) I mean who wants bad graphics. The first 3 links with the GOOD looking graphics would be awsome, I dont get why you wouldnt like them.


Worst Update - Kick you off for everytime you log off you arent able to log on for the amount of time you were just playing. Reasons for this update because people in asia everywhere are dying of thirst and hunger and have lack of a social life from playing to much guild wars.

new armour: 120 AL (reduces elemental damage by 10)
(whenever you take physical damage you die)


some new weapons:

sword- 20-30 damage
(has 100% chance to inflict blind on self after every swing)
axe- 2-70 damage
(often shatters on critical hit destroying the weapon)
hammer- 20-50 damage
(need 3 hands to equip)
bow- 40-60 damage
(must target elderly foxes)
staff- 50-55 damage
(you may not attack while using this staff. All spells have 1% chance to cost 1 less energy. Any time you save energy on a spell you are killed.)
dagger- 10-100 damage
(-98 damage while attacking)
shields- movement speed increased 50% while standing.

I may have got the context of the screenshots wrong, though.
Graphics are always the last to be completed. Most developers throw in some basic textures and then work on the mechanics.




Added support for gamepads.
Removed support for keyboards.

Give the man a cookie! Quite correct, the "cartoon" shots are from a press preview event in 2003, before GW got its real graphics.
Here's a couple more:

More PvE things and nothing for PvP. What im thinking of is a whole new arena, like everyone against everyone and the winner gets a COOKIE, or a really rare gold, or 5,000 factions

Adding features such as an Auction house, stylist, henchie and pet commands purchasable via the online store.

Adding more challenge missions without increasing the rewards to make them worth the time spent there.

Merging PvP and PvE in such a way that either is needed to progress.

Adding more Fed-Ex quests.

Adding more locked gates to prevent exploration.

Continuous balancing of skills towards level 20 players while continuing to add mobs at level 31 with the "super ray of death" and call it a challenge, rather than balance skills for universal use and improving the AI to compensate... or at least act like they know how to use the freakin skills.

Continuous breaking and nerfing of skills due to exploits in PvP that completely destory the use of the same skil in PvE.

Adding more PvE areas locked behind PvP wins and loses.

Adding more PvE end game content that requires the utter most dull possible play mechanic in recorded history (faction farming) to "earn" entrance to the content. (forgive the grammar, but that was rather fun to say)

Adding DP to pets without a valid and "good" way to protect them that doesn't require an almost full skill bar. Rememeber Anet, PvE needs room for skill caps and a rez!

Problably, if what I think is right, Chapter 4 will be more PvP oriented.

- Paying real money to create a Guild, Cape, Hall and Services

- Keeping a Hall require 100k each week

- Have a magical message to summon an Angel to help you in your fight like: Guardian Angel, can you hear my voice? ^^;
My name is [Character name], and I'm a [Profession]~
Please help me~ T.T (Wrong game )

- Removing Balthazaar Factions (Like before)

- Limited change in your attribute point (Like before)

- Create gates in Tyria

- Sit will recover your MP and HP more quickly (Wrong game again)

- Adding the /Pizza

- Adding Blue and Red Chaos Saber (see below to know)

- Add Faction attribute for Light Side and Dark Side

- Add age of your Character (not like now but in game), to see getting old and die permanant (Delete your char automatic)

- Control many pets as you want with Charm Animal

- Guns in GW

- Special Matrix Focus style in GW (Slow motion Dodge arrows skill.....ZZZzzzzZZZzzz)

- Created PvP Char can go throught PvE with max Armor, mods and Stats

- When Black dye x 4 = Super Black Dye and Silver x 4 = metalic armor

* Due to abuse all chests have been removed from the game.

*Amended the required amount of wins to take favour of the gods for your region to 35.

98% of the Community (AKA non-HAers) "Yeah, I think HA sucks and should be removed." "I agree." "This was a good weekend." "This definitely helps against fame farming."

Anet: "Due to the popularity of last weekends event and numerous polls in favor, we have no longer allowed access to Heroes' Ascent. All rank has been removed, along with the /rank and /fame commands."

You may now purchase Crystalline Swords that are inscribable in the GW Store! As well as Serpent axes, dwarven axes, elemental swords, tormented skins, and any other ultra rare skin in Guild Wars! We feel this will benefit the causal players who want to look cool but don't want to lift a finger and go grind for these items. You can also buy 100 fame for 5$ on the online store!
