Awright, you guys, so I'm supposed to deny what it isn't and then you'll have a good idea what it is, huh?

I think I may need to step back and simply enjoy the speculation, because if I mention something even off-topic, like, "It's not about lima beans," someone may take that as a hidden message about the future. "OOoh, the characters will have the option to earn the new Deadly Armour of the Bean" in a future update!"

I wish I could say something.

But really, this is PC Gamer's gig and we want to let it roll. There is a point of pride, though, in speculations proved true, so... do carry on!

Of course it's not going to be Utopia...if it were there would be nothing to fight cause all would be perfect.

No, my vote is on Atlantis...that'd be cool. With lots of water, and then you can get sandals of the saviour insignia's for your armour so you can walk on water....uhh well, or something like that...

I really hope that there will be glowing weapons and many more armor choices... although if Nightfall was any indicator, I might be dissapointed

Even so, I can't wait!

Man, I love the pre-sear catacombs! Why they not add it to post-sear with lvl32+ monsters? Just revamp it and add an entrance from Ascalon, adding some chests (without key) at the end, making it (the catatomb) a mission area (you die, you out)

GW has beautiful skies, but man, where are the dungeons? where?

I would do that except for one very very important point: I refuse to buy a magazine just for one line of text. I won't ever read any of the rest of the magazine, because I just don't care about reading articles about computer games. It's just not practical. That is actually my real reasoning behind not even trying to find a copy.

Convincing them to release a single of every song for those people that don't want the whole CD?

I'd just like to bring something up with this. I agree that if you download music illegally, you shouldn't act self-righteous or anything. But there is one exception: I will never buy a CD from Sony (though Sony doesn't produce many good CDs, so this isn't really a problem). You know why? Because of the controversy with Sony, where they would put a DRM (digital rights management) program on their CDs which would automatically install on to your PC and is very hard to detect or remove, creating a security risk. Here is what wikipedia has to say:

Quote:

Originally Posted by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony#Digital_rights_management

In October 2005, it was revealed by Mark Russinovich of Sysinternals that Sony BMG Music Entertainment's music CDs had installed a rootkit on the user's computer as a DRM measure (called Extended Copy Protection by its creator, British company First 4 Internet), which was extremely difficult to detect or to remove. This constitutes a crime in many countries, and poses a major security risk to affected users, as well as a small drain on computer system resources. The uninstaller Sony initially provided removed the rootkit, but in turn installed a dial-home program that posed an even greater security risk — a fact that drew further criticism of Sony's actions. Sony eventually provided an actual uninstaller that removed all of Sony's DRM program from the user's computer. Sony BMG is facing several class action lawsuits regarding this matter.

So yeah, there are some cases where obtaining music illegally is the lesser of two evils. I honestly don't know why people are so against it. It provides huge PR, since a lot of people who download music and really like it will go out and buy the CD.

Anyway, since this thread isn't about software piracy, I will actually get back on topic. I can't wait for C4 (I will be well and truly out of presearing with my defender of ascalon title by release, and hopefully will have finished the majority of the three existing campaigns. I only hope that Guildwiki will provide the info contained in the article soon after print. And with the late release date (we can pretty much assume without a doubt that it will be later than april, otherwise I'm sure we would have heard something by now) we will get a very good game, since much more time would have gone into it than Factions or Nightfall (although I really like Nightfall, I think the more time they spend on a game the better. As long as it's not like 5 years or something).

Well...

So, come the end of March when all us lucky subscribers to PC Gamer get the May issue... we will finally know the truth!!! Will ANET grant us a summer release or will they make us wait 'til the fall. I'm crossing my fingers on a June-ish timeframe. Why wait when most of their sales are online direct anyway?

Ah, the suspense.

I'll post this here since it's about the magazine

In the U.S., PC Gamer will begin delivery of the May issue to subscribers on March 15, and it will be on newsstands on April 3. European magazines, including Joystick in France, PC Zone in the U.K., PC GamePlay in Benelux, Games Machine in Italy, and PC Gamer in Germany, will reach subscribers and newsstands before the end of March.

Knowing you guys, no matter where you're located, you'll be sharing the info from your regional magazines, and that's great. I want to make sure that I let you know, this isn't some small feature -- I would boldly say that any Guild Wars player would want to buy one of these magazines, subscriber or not! In part this is because they'll offer great articles with a lot of cool info. In part it's because the magazines will give you the chance to adopt your very own exclusive new miniature. Check our website for more info tomorrow!

So that's a confirmed new minipet (yay

), I'd say it's safe to say it'll be a creature from the next campaign and we should be seeing what it is on the official site in a couple days. And all you Euros out there will have a chance to get it too just like last time.

I can bet you a minimum of at least 8 threads will simultaneously (wow, i spelled that right). But then again, mods are gonna combine them all into the first, or probably the one with the most details as the OP.

All I can say is, "Hurry up Anet your 3 campaigns are already boring." The most boring being Prophecies, but as a whole, they are boring, yet still addictive.

A lot of players are on the brink on giving up online games to pursue non-computer, outdoor things! Uh oh to outdoor things. HURRY UP! LOL.

Boring? What game have you been playing?! While I seem to be one of very few players who seemed to *enjoy* Cantha and its content, I still only play the game because I love it. (Even though the storylines seem rather similar..)

Well she said that subscribers would start getting it around the 15th. I suppose that the actual time you do receive it depends on how far you live from where it's being mailed from, and if they mail all of the magazines the same day and such....

Hi all.

I have a bit of concern about GW2. In the theInquirer aricle it is said that it will be set several hundred years from the end of GW. So before ANet starts developing, I have VERY IMPORTANT SUGGESTION !

Please allow some kind of player migration from GW to GW2. I'm mostly concerned about time I invested in developing my main character which finished all three campaigns, get all three GMC, have all elites captured etc.
I really would hate to loose it and start over in GW2.

There are few possible options (either one time migration or linking GW and GW2) :

a) After the Eye of the North, add something like Sorrow's Furnace, with separate plot that would "freeze" character for hundreds of years or teleport it to distant future/place.
b) Allow to create a grand grand grand child of the character in GW2 with all the knowledge passed throug generations (maybe along with the equipment)
c) Create something like Vortex which will transfer character between different times.

Also I'm glad that there are more people who read theInquirer and play GW. I'm not a freak !!!

I personally don't see why everyone wants to keep their characters for GW2. What's so wrong with starting over fresh? The only thing I'd really like to keep are my names, mostly because they're quite popular names and were hard to get. I have Corran Horn, Nom Anor, Danni Quee, Jagged Fel and several other character names from the Star Wars expanded universe. Otherwise I see no reason to carry over my characters.

The biggest reason being that I want the devs to have complete creative freedom when creating the next GW. I really don't want them restrained in any way by trying to allow for character crossover. Plus, I'd like to be able to come back every now and then to shoot the breeze with my old characters. I mean, it's not like thay're gonna shut down the servers and delete everybodies chars as soon as GW2 comes out.
