The legendary defender of Ascalon title got me thinking how nice an expansion pack in the pre-searing Ascalon/Rin area would be.
Some new areas maybe, but essentially the same map as the post searing region with lots of new quests and missions.
Any takers?
Who would buy a pre-searing expansion pack?

i'm not sure my fragile mind could take "WTS 12-18 damage sword 100k + xx black dyes, NO NOOBS!11".

I mentioned this to my guild the other day actually. Itd be a pretty cool idea a game that takes place totally before pre searing. The only downfall is you have no way of connecting it to the other chapters which means it is a totally new game with no affiliations with the current chapters.

No buy, phr33 update please

I would say this is what presearing should of been like to do the 4 main missions and then off to Yaks Bend an you would of seen othe searing in cinamatic.There would also be no Henchies in pre this way other would play better and cooperate together in quests and missions.i don't agree with updating pre as it is now just Restore Ascalon and maybe relocate pressearing to an island close to LA.

I'm never going back to pre-searing, and I sure as hell wouldn't pay for it. Pre-searing wasn't that great, I don't see how people get so hung up on it.

I agree on that last comment. I don't much care for western themed fantasy--after all, to twist the phrasing of a post elsewhere, no American, unless they were Celtic, could feel at home in western fantasy :P--but I prefer pre over post just because the graphics visual is more pleasing.

I'd love it, and would actually consider buying it.

You could always leave pre-searing either.

as nice as it sounds, on second thought it would destroy what makes pre-searing so good.

Would it be cool? Sure! i'd like to be able to go north if they didn,t put too many chars as you advance. i would hate to have to grind for hours with only a war and a monk(unless someone found a way to kill the chars with something else, the new AI update might be useful for this. too bad i deleted the monk) just to get north.
i'd see getting to the shiverpeaks (maybe not at the same place we enter in post) to watch the Searing drinking a pint of the good old dwarven ale(even if the shiverpeaks are just a short way and a lone village). With a couple of skills from post and maybe a 3rd set of armor. This of course so long as they don't release oh-so-1337 items in there, If I go to pre it's not to be rushed by some kind of jerk showing off their stuff(we've got enough of this in post)
UNfortunately, I got a feeling they would do exactly this and just add up elitism in the last part of the game where it isn't found.

Plus, what is so good about pre-searing? I'd rather go to the shiverpeaks or Kryta or something....

Oh ya, I forgot :P

If I could kill Gwen, I'd buy three, maybe four copies. If that wasn't part of it, no thanks. ;[

I loved Presearing and I'd love a Pre expansion. Going back in time wouldn't be a problem, it's called a prequel. This is often done in all forms of fiction- movies, books etc. I bet the regular Sardelac posters could create a great plot for the expansion and link it to the current storyline with no problem.
derrtyboy69
how about this: open tyria up to explore freely with your pre characters. Keep most of it the same as it is in post, such as leaving the jungles the way they are, with lower leveled enemies. It wouldnt require that much effort to make (your basicly letting us run around in already made areas)
Just keep the levels of the creatures relatively low, and make it easily soloable, or two-man able like the rest of pre-sear is.
Mabye 20$ for that^^

Revisiting Presearing has been an idea that has surfaced many times and have always gained support.And if we look closely at the reason: Its a beatiful place to play in. Elona partly recreates the sensation with its wide open areas and the beatiful sky and scenary.
It may sound crazy but i would be willing to pay for an expansion of presearing area/concept if character slots were provided as a bonus factor as well. But it wont be so much for the title as suggested by the OP.

I would like it if you could bring your current characters over to it, and it wouldnt break the time, it would be the most fun and the most interesting thing, maybe see gwen as a toodler....
Absolute Destiny
YESSS!!
I loooved Pre-Searing...the environment is just more fun to play in than post-searing.
Plus there's a lot of the lore of GW that just isn't explained enough.
I'd buy it.

as was mentioned they could do a chapter for the rebuilding of Ascalon. Of course the map would be of the whole of Ascalon and its provinces including the replanting and rebuilding and reorganizng of Ascalon. It could prove to be very intresting...
ADDED: I dont want to see any of this Gwen bs though. I never liked Gwen and never will, all she wanted were your flowers and to sell them for 5 gold. Shes probably working the corner in Ascalon City and changed her name for all we know >: (

To be honest, I'd like to see what eastern and northern Ascalon looked like before the Charr blew it to hell...

I would pay extra to never have to go to Pre Searing again.

I'm revisiting Presearing for the first time since...oh the first week or so of Guild Wars existence....and its beautiful. Everything is very peaceful...but once the Charr come and s**t all over the place.....the game gets kinda boring.
If it wern't for 99% of the game being Post Searing...I'd stay in pre.

Much as I love Post-Seering, yes I'd love a mini-update and would pay for it.

I won't pay for an expansion for PreSearing, but I'd like next campang havinfg green plains like they where there.
I'd rather pay for a full 'remake' of the Prophecies campaing.
- Making mouths move like in Nightfall.
- Making armors with insignia and/or like Canthan.
- Giving green to all the bosses.
- Changing the leveling so you get around lvl 15-20 when geting to Lions Arch, and making the basic Ascalonian and Krytan armor available there, moving the Ascended ones to the other cities...
I mean... retroactive changes.

Yes i would buy. For 20 bucks.

I would love the idea. Per-sear looks just SOOO good. To be honest I don't think GW would of as huge a hit had we started in ascalon post sear.

It would be cool.. But.. As a-net has repeated 22312323123 times

Oh yeah, and I'd pay. I just did pre with a mesmer and had forgotten how great the visuals are there. Elona is similar in that respect; that's probably why I like it so much and disliked Factions.

I wouldnt buy it. Anything that isnt accessable to current characters who already left pre-searing or never went there in the first place is a bad idea.
