I have one question. Just one.
Why aren't the holy damage skills in the Smiting line listed as IGNORING ARMOR yet, since apparently holy damage doesn't ignore armor (see, Heart of Holy Flame, Judges Insight, and Lightbringer's Gaze). Clarification on this very old issue would be GREATLY appreciated, and bring an end to many, many arguments about typing of damage.

The only question I have is this :-
Now we have 3 full campaigns which equates to 8 characters plus all their respective heroes will storage ever be upgraded to reflect this?
I mean, it's quite frankly ridiculous to expect us with all 3 campaigns linked together to still use the same amount of storage as we had for the original Prophecies campaign.

Will you add new "realms" like Underworld or elite missions?
Good idea is add a new realm or elite mission every month.

Q: When will we get expansions and not standalone games?
I've loved having new classes and all but I think 8 classes are enough for now. Wouldn't you prefer a better PvE and PvP experience? I've been hoping that in future games you could gain the favor of the other Gods through various tasks suited to that God.

Are you happy with the evolution of the guild wars series? Has the gameplay and community turned out the way you invisaged or are there design elements that you feel in retrospect should have been implemented at the start of the series that could have improved the overall player experience?

Will you unrated gvg my guild?
Ok, my real question: In the course of creating any sort of large involved project there are usually many 'happy accidents' - things that don't turn out as intended, but end up working/looking awesome. Can you think of any that stick out during the production of the current 3.5 campaigns? (C4 is half done right?

Well, perhaps mine is similar to some already posted questions, but is there a chance anet will take a more active roll in balance issues in PvP, balance updates every week or less rather than letting pvp stagnate before it gets fixed?

For the PvE'ers:
Will it be possible to change armor bonuses on armor sets that were created before Nightfall? For instance, if my fissure armor is +10 armor while enchanted, will I ever be able to use the new upgrades to make it +10 armor versus physical?
For the PvP'ers:
Will there be skill balances mid-season? If so or if not, when can we expect to see them? Pre-tournament? Post-tournament?
What steps are being taken to correct the NPC mechanic at Victory or Death?
When can we expect the announcement of another major championship such as the GWWC or GWFC? How long will this string of fun seasons run and when will anet offer more competitive tournaments?
What changes are you looking into as far as tournament structure? The standard ladder season system that has been in place is not serving its purpose too well, and the community would like to see more games that involve preparation and the lack of ladder farming builds or need to grind. What are some systems that you are looking into to accomplish this and which do you believe will be the most successful?

Dear ArenaNet:
Are you concerned that the PvE game is gravitating more toward single-player with the introduction of heroes (coupled with henchmen)?
Are you planning on making changes to encourage cooperative gameplay?
Do these changes include a better LFG system, improved drops for human-player only groups, access to certain PvE/PvP areas restricted to allow only human players, etal?
It's all part of the same question...

Question:
Will we finally see the time again when update notes are completely posted?
Background:
There was a time shortly after Prophecies' Release when every update no matter how unimportant it was, was noted. Some updates, mostly those that changed aspects of the game were explained and commented.
This stopped happening somewhere in time. Updatenotes got increasingly incomplete (GWiki should have a list of undocumented changes but it's far toooo slow for me to look it up - but it's plenty). This is especially bad around the time of a release when NO updatenotes are provided for many of the last minute changes.

Two questions (I hope these haven't been asked already):
1. Is there any plans for features that will allow us to define our characters personality/individuality/character more? Eg. Being able to choose which god our character worships (which could lead to quests
), etc.
2. Is the new class/new continent structure of the current expansions going to continue for the upcoming expansions? And if so, are there plans to keep interest up in the old classes and continents?
BTW this is so great that ANet is doing this.

How far ahead of game development does the story development go? By this I mean, was the basis for the story of Nightfall developed before Factions release? Was the location and main storyline written in stone before development began, or was the location developed while the storyline was still being considered?

I'd like to know if we will ever see a further zoomed out map showing all the continents and thus make traveling between continents a bit easier.
Cataclysm
Well, I can finally get some answers... I hope
1) Are there any plans for a Stylist NPC?
2) Are there any plans to increase storage size? I wouldn't mind paying another 50G for double, 100G for triple, and 200G for quadruple, 400G for pentuple... you get the idea. I NEED ROOM! Or, better still an Auction House-type thing where I can unload all my crap for people to buy without wasting an hour selling it in person.
3) And finally and most important: WHAT HEPPENED TO GWEN!?!?!

Its like you had planted a seed not knowing what it was to become. then when it bloomed into a amazing flower with many different pedals of many different colors.. you snipped the ones you didnt like off.. leaving a simple single color. so my question is why? |

I have played Guild Wars for a long time now and I really enjoy it. However, I must heartily agree with the above two statements. My question is thus: "Are you really going to answer these questions or are you going to blow them off like you have so far to the multitudes of people who complain about Heroe's Ascent? Even though these questions are critical, will you remain indifferent about it and pretend there's nothing wrong?"
I don't wish to flame. I love Guild Wars dearly, and I really would NOT like to see it go.
KANE OG
I notice a lot of scantilly clad female characters, cool animations (boobs jiggling while shooting a bow ftw) and Victoria's Secret underwear. The devs and artists have got to be mostly male. So my question (since all my others have been asked) is:
Will we EVER have thongs?
LMAO! God, I hope they answer this one.

Does the "story" of gwen continue in the upcoming chapters?(i still have Gwen's Broken Flute in my storage )
Jack Stormbringer
This is pretty cool idea, thanks Gaile, Guild Wars, and Arena Net.
My question is :
Will Guild Wars ever allow us to lvl up past 20, or possibly allow us to craft armor or have a trade to give us something more to work our characters towards the future?
In otherwords give our older characters something to work for
Side small question, Can you create a large world map to let us know where we are in relation to different continents, like is Tyria north of Cantha, and west of Elonia?

Will the ability to play a non-human ever be introduced into guildwars? In every chapter there have been friendly non-humans with increasing degrees of involvement; simple NPCs in Prophecies, a henchman in Factions, and an important hero in Nightfall.

why do you guys hate farming so much that you make constant feeble attemps to stop it?
All this does is slow farming a bit for a day or two and tick people off. (not all of us farm for gold.)
sencond if you don't like farming why do you encourage it things like 15k armor, holiday events with the huge requirements to earn a special item pumkin head, ect. , and the lack of gold output in real human teams, the lack of ways to earn skill points to creat a specific char/everything ex. war/everything?

Q: What were you smoking when you gave AoE damage to the strongest weapon in the game (scythe) and where can I get some?
Ronin Rangerin
Why did you degrade tombs to the point of laughability? It used to be one of the most respected forms of pvp and now its nothing but a joke.
Why did you change it to 6 v 6 and then add heroes so that its not even pvp anymore?
This is coming from a rank 12 player who has spend countless hours in tombs over the last year and I refuse to play guildwars anymore until you change it back to to a heroless, henchless, pveless, non noob zone of skilled, committed, and creative players
And btw dont listen to Shard fx, he's a bloodspike noob who complains about every build that has a chance to beat his bloodspike guild

The answer to the farming problem:
well, one is obviously to simply kill all wammo (which i have no issue with)
or...scaled loot. make it so that if you go out with an 8 person party, make it so that 8x better drops, 8x more gp, 8x more items. if you go out solo, then scale the loot down. this will ENCOURAGE team "farming" and teamwork. also, perhaps make it so that rares drop EVERYWHERE, not just in a few areas. then maybe we will stop seeing all this 2 man farming and solo farming which you obviously hate. seriously, scaled loot and an auction house would make GW one of the best games ever.
Also...why does it cost GP to get skills? seriously...1k for a skill? why not just stick with the skill point system..it seems fair.

Q. Do you feel Guild Wars should do more to promote an in-game player community, perhaps based on reputation? Currently people are quite anonymous amongst the bazillions of random guilds and characters (especially insta-created pvp characters), and many act as if there were no social recourse for their actions (because there really isn't).

I had this question for a while when i first got the fiery dragon sowrd like a year ago. Could u make it so when u dye any type of flame weapon that the color of the flame also changes, that would be so cool lol.
