Hello,
I have ran into and meet alot of nice people in the GW world. I have talked with many hours on end about GW related issues. While GW is a wonderful game and remains a wonderful game. Olders players are running out of fun things to keep occupied with. I now myself and others I have talked to need something to keep us going something to look foward to. I know the fact a new game coming out soon is something......but more info is needed....please do not wait until 2 weeks before release to let something out. I know many I play with will be gone by that time and the release date is for April.
Alot of people will not agree with me but I think a little glimmer of something may help the older gamers stick around.
Thank you for your time.
Zelda,
feel free to call me a stupid......and such
Guild Wars CH 4 Info Please

You're right pal, but I guess Anet just isn't ready to release anything yet.
RTSFirebat
They release info when their ready.
But I feel this is the fault of people finishing the game too quickly. Often because they play the game too much 10-12+ hours.
Me and plenty of my guildies still have tons to do in Nightfall and the last two chapters.
People will leave, and many of those same people come back again. Time and time again.

Can we delete this like now? There are like eleventybagillion other threads like this, since search doesnt seem to be a plausible option for some people...

As much as I would like information on the next chapter, and I see the OPs point, I don't feel I'm gettin gbored at all, despite having taken 7 characters through elona, with a couple more on the way. My brother decided on a solution to this problem...he's having a dedicated character slot just for starting a new character again and again...that way, when he gets bored he can just...start afresh...delete...rinse and repeat. Good idea I think...and then I can buy all his monastry credits off him!
My solution to the boredom problem is working on titles. My Ele is my "Title Collector" and currently has Kind of a Big Deal...so People Know Me is the next one to work towards. During the "dead time" between campaigns (not my words...i don't think it's "dead time") I also work on giving my characters the nicest looking armor I can (not always prestige armor
) Then when I'm bored either farming or title collecting I'll help people...either friends online or I'll stand in The Marketplace offering help with Mayhem in the Market...then go on to do Vizunah Square with people if they want it...I love that mission... thelegendozelda
Thank you for your replys, time to stare at the screen randomly helping people gain olias, and other random quest

I know what you mean but finding less and less things to do, but I always find things though.
Have you capped all elites?
Have you finished all quests?, even ones in explorable areas and depend on other quests.
What I'm into these days is doing all the vabbi quests to get as many trade contracts so I can get vabbi armor for my neglected paragon
But yeah, I wish we have more info about ch4

Even though I concentrate on only 3 of my 11 characters I feel that I'm far from done with the game. In all three campaigns I still have plenty of things to do, even if I count only my main characters, and even though I pretty much ignore PvP completely.
Actually, I hope that C4 will be delayed, to give me more time to complete various tasks in Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall. I'm hoping for a release not end of March (which would be the date according to ANet's 6-month-cycle), but later this year, in summer or autumn. If ANet really release in March I may even skip one chapter and stick to the old ones.

My life is a big part of stuff right now, and I don't have all the greatest time to run through the game like other people (unfortunately) do.
And, I have a total of four other characters I've not even touched yet and would like to pull them through everything. But, I do know that the Fouth one will likely be done before I get a chance, but that's fine. I'll have to do what I did before, and just keep playing the other three untill I complete what I wanted to complete (In those cases, capturing all Elites of the two campaigns and pulling my Mesmer through Cantha before playing Elona.)
thelegendozelda
Yea lets all hope they hold off and dont release it until 2010.....

Thus, with GW's steadily declining population (at least in a pvp perspective) and longer away times for players in the offseason (I personally started playing WoW), the incentive to continue playing GW's expansions will inevitably fail to pique a person's interest, at least enough to tear them away from whatever they decided to move on to. Ergo the generated revenue would eventually not be able to justify the cost to make new expansions...probably.
This of course is my opinion, based on what I've seen in the american pvp community, but if you look at the guild ladder, the Asian community has clearly found new interests as well.

I just need somthing to keep me going something to look foward to. If not ........
uther necro
The only way that GW is going to win back some of there more popular players is if they get everything right with this chapter. This chapter is the turning point and if they get it right many players will come back from playing WOW and all that other stuff. i know i came out of an early retirement from gvging and such just so that i could check out nightfall. if the creators of factions can make a comeback with this game and bring all the ppl back from WOW i will be greatful to them.

I know the game has gotten stale in some parts so my next adventure is suvivor 3 and loving it. I also you you have had KoaBD halfway when factions was released and have done alot on many professions. I suggest doing some competitive PvP to stall while you wait on chp 4

Swift,
I have KoABD on 5 guys now.........I guess i have played to much

I am still "trying" to complete the Luxon part of Factions one day 
YES, I want info about Ch4, but I don't want it released this April; I will be happy if they release it in October (1 year after Nightfall)
I think, we need a little brake of new skills/professions for a while; Also, I think GW campaigns are still selling; a new one could STOP Nightfall popularity and down sales.

If they tell us everything now, they will ruin the surprise!
thelegendozelda
Oh noes!!! Please dont ruin the surprize!! /goodgod....
Simply do something to hold interest, I roughly have 279 things written down that would vastly improve certain areas....but does that matter? Hell no... I've played this game for 22 months now...does that matter to anyone? Hell No. Make the older gamers happy? Hell No..........why? Cause the new games arent expansion packs..... but.....Stand Alone games,
If Joe Slum over here has played 22 months so what? <--isnt market target
Little Timmy Snot nose here has $50 bucks from grandma Georgetta.....<---IS
Why? Cause the games arent exp. So is doesnt matter if the same people buy the game or not, they only need new sales.....
Loose a 1000, add 10, 000 little timmys
Sorry,

Games = Business (and Fun for some companies) The only they need is Money (and Fun), so if ArenaNet are making money (I hope they are), why not wait some months.

Well, I have finished Elona with 10 characters, finished Cantha with 10 characters and finished Prophecies with 7 characters.
I tried DoA and it is too tedious to enjoy. Sure, to one day make a group to go through it all so I can say I did I can still imagine...going through it multiple times to get enough gems to get me one armbrace of truth for a cool weapon...don't think so.
My point and my hope is that GW will use new expansion to give more options to characters. You need 1 weapon, or a weapon and an off-hand. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd set for different builds.
The rest is armour and that is it as far as stuff is concerned. All armours have the same options...just add them as you like.
All weapons are the same...no matter the skin a max. sword is 15-22 with 3 upgrade options of which only a few combo's make sense. Who cares if your sword does bleeding for 24 or 32 seconds? Most enemies are not supposed to live that long.
So chapter 4 is a secret...sure I wanna know what's gonna come. But regardless of what it is and what the surroundings will be, I just hope it will include more things to expand your character. Sure I can spend my time capping all elite skills...but why? I certainly don't need all of them and don't want all of them. There are billions of titles and you only use one at a time anyway.
Anet can keep their secrets as long as they feel they need to, but I hope they understand that the next title should not be a title for having tons of characters on 1 account. I don't need new character classes on each expansion, because in the end it will mean that I have too many characters and I won't play half or more but I won't delete them because of the expensive armours on them. I have at least one 15k armour on each character. Why? Because it's largely the only thing left to do for your characters...

I always wonder about people complaining there wouldn't be anything to do anymore and it seems it really affects them, yadda yadda yadda.

I would love a christmas release, BUT I would want the thing to be worth waiting that long, and I'd want something like an auction house between now and then <and that hard mode there is speak of would be nice>
Tempy
Id love info too...but why release anything when lately the only thing it would do would be to cause people to bitch about it before its even viable? At least keeping quiet and doing the Utopia thing...they keep us baited...sorta like Gwen's story.

I don't mean to pick on you, but I've seen this sort of comment before and it's just struck me as incredibly self centered. I mean, most of the recommendations against new professions/skills/expansions/heroes/whatever have usually come from a place of self interest, but at least they try wrap it up in an objective (though usually silly) reason.

I look forward to a game being released every 6 months. Sure, it stacks up more things you have to complete, but at least you have something to occupy your time.
I'm on holidays from uni at the moment (have been since start of november, and still have 3 weeks left) and having 3 games of Guild Wars has been such a blessing. I mean, there's only so much time you can spend going out and getting pissed. And when your work only gives you one shift a week, even though you said you are available any day, it also kind of limits the things you can go out and do.
I've never actually finished any of the games, mostly because I keep making a new character. Got up to the desert with my first char, then stopped playing him. Deleted my second char, because she was an assassin (need I say more?). I'm almost finished NF with my Dervish, but taking a break to level my new ranger to get DoA. So yeah, I have plenty to do to occupy the time when I'm not drunk, and so I'm not complaining. I long for more and more content. I don't know why anyone would complain about having too much to do in a game.
It's not absolutely crucial to finish every last thing in one game before the next comes out. It's also not crucial that you play the new ones as soon as they are released. If you want to finish an old campaign, do that and then start the new one. GW is probably going to be around for awhile.

Theres always something to do, heck you have multiple charactars and 3 campaigns. For CH4 i would like there to be like a while pre-searing thingy like the good ole prophecies has. But then i also hope that ch4 doesnt come out like factions...the worst ch yet in my opinion, most of my buddies left after factions, but nightfall was better hopefully ch 4 will be better than nightfall. But the original is always the best, Prophecies=#1

What I don't get is why Anets so secretive about their campaigns, its not like someone is going to steal the idea...what do they have to hide?
"Oh no, the players know about Ch4, and now they are interested....this is terrible."
We know it exsists, yet we know literally nothing about it. Imagine if The Burning Crusade (WoW Expansion) wasn't announced until 2 months before release? So many players would have already moved on.
In conclusion....what on earth does Anet have to hide? They have every reason to tell us, and no good reasons to not.
