I've trudged through all 441 (so far) posts in this thread, and this point was only raised once...I feel it's important enough to warrant further discussion.
Asking for a rollover mechanic so that we can keep our current characters' progress poses a serious hindrance to any sort of advancement to be made in this hypothetical GW2. We don't even know that the same ten professions will exist in that game; it's ludicrous (and extremely dull, I might add) to make a sequel that's more or less identical to what we already have.
As a side note, I'm a little saddened by this talk of new playable races. People already whine and carry on about not being able to change their hairstyle...I can't imagine the endless complaints when someone wants to become a new species (dolphinplasty, anyone?).
Finally, let's address the idea of the Charr inhabiting the supposedly-arctic north. Has everyone forgotten that they take double damage from cold sources? Doesn't make much sense if you ask me.

I get the sense that all of this talk of the fourth chapter and Guild Wars 2 is being taken a little too seriously. So far, the only information that we have to go on is strictly rumor. Nothing has been officially announced by ANet, so all these matters should be taken with a with a grain of salt. I don't to be a buzz kill or anything, but remaining skeptical will prevent this whole debacle from ending in tears.

But, who said the north of Ascalon would be cold? The Shiverpeaks are West and South-west of the Ascalon area. If you'd go North-east from Ascalon, you might find alot of ember-carrying charr looking to burn all things they encounter
All speculation, off course...

Ehehehehehheeeeehhe
Cool a new minipet. I also read the rest of what Gaile said...I noticed the part where she mentioned that "Some of it is true, some partially and some made up and not at all". This means the information we are reading is partially true...all we have to do now is figure out what is and what isn't....or just wait until March 15.
Thanks for posting Gaile

10 more heros. so does that mean the ppl who buy this game will also have hero battles? doesnt sound fair to me. like ab, it should only be in 1 game.
P.S. More heros will make the pugs even worse

More heroes cannot make PUGS worst, Its not like the limit of heroes is being changed, just the number of heroes you can choose from. I spent an hour reading through the pages and im rather glad were getting a gw2, hopefully though with a rollover mechanic
Eldin
I hope if there is a GW2, there is jumping added. Just because one of my idiot WoW friends can't come up with a good reason to hate GW (the real reason is because he can't apply himself long enough to enjoy the storyline), so he always says "ZOMG JOO CANT JUMP LOLZORZ!!111oneone!1" and other engine limitations like "NO SMALL INTERIORZZ!!".
EDIT: Just realized something. What if GW2 (again, if it comes out) will be so awesome it costs a monthly fee? :\ One of the main reasons I got GW was for the lack of such!

Question: If GW2 is set hundreds of years after of GW1, will you still be able to take your old characters to the new area or will it be a whole different game?

I'm not subscribed to PC Gamer. As such I must wait a half of month longer to read and buy the issue in stores, and get my mini pet? (April 3rd) Did I read that right?
Eldin
I see "a few hundred years" as still medieval. We can visit Adelbern's Monument and stuff, maybe?
It's unlikely they won't include the original professions, though they may narrow them down (like warrior will be split into paladin and berserker? XD but that seems like it just narrows down replayability and variety of builds). I mean come on. What game doesn't have a warrior, or a healing spellcaster, or a ranged attacker? Even in multiplayer FPSes they find ways to still implement these classic classes.
Oh, and if you look at the site the article is on, they show this odd image. Is this anywhere in the game? If this is supposed to be a screenshot of GW2, or a rendering, it just makes the article seem even FAKER. The article says how GW2's graphics will be up to date, making them superior to any current MMORPG (I don't want it to be as strong as Oblivion is now, though). That screenie looks like a GW1 screen, maybe with slightly higher resolution textures and scaling to create an illusion of 900x AA.

To be honest, I'm not too bothered about character transfers. As long as there is some evidence that the character existed (like a little personal hall of fame, showing all your titles, your xp, etc) I'd be happy. I mean, the characters are supposed to be heroes, and should be remembered as such.
xshadowwolfx
Wow im excited....I hope the north thing is true...omg we may see charr again.
Buster
Oh yeah super excited to hear we finally getting some info about C4. I'll be sure to get my copy of Pc Gamer and read about all the good stuff we getting and so on. Can't wait ! Guildwars ftw !

2 years in the games industry is a long time. Who knows what other games will come out in that time. |
Look at diablo and starcraft. See how many people are still waiting for the next installments in those and they haven't had a sequel for much longer than two years. I'm sure if diablo 3 or starcraft 2 came out, they'll still be top sellers.
Look at the gap between doom 2 and doom 3 or half life 1 and half life 2. Still a later number of people bought the sequels despite the long gap.

If any of this is true I'm glad to see that Anet is wrapping up GW1 and starting on GW2. The 3 games (and soon to be 4) that make up GW1 are all great, but it's time for something new, and by "new" I don't mean some shitty standard MMO like WoW. I have faith that in GW2 the developers will knock my socks off. What will I do for 2 years in between Eyes of the North and GW2? Well, it definitely won't be WoW, maybe I'll try Warhammer, mostly I'll be playing the games that make up GW1 (still lots of titles to finish lol). I might even go outside and enjoy some fresh air. 
My GREATEST hope for Eyes of the North is either some way to link progress between characters on an account (maybe make alts usable heroes), or allow us to change primary professions on a character. I'm a title RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO so I mostly only have time to play my warrior. What use is capping all the elite skills, earning a bazillion skill points if you'll never use 99% of them, cause your primary profession is unchangable?

Also, I hope Divine Aura doesn't carry over to GW2... I don't want to be jealous forever.

I hope that the 10 new heroes thing is false, if it's true, then i would assume that one of the major things is that we would be getting the option of playing this offline at some point.
Knightsaber Sith
Yeah, I expected heroes to be a Nightfall exclusive feature.

But can someone explain to me why they're putting "not all false" information in? I get wanting to make more sells and bring more people in, but why mix false information into it?
ChrisCo
Well all this is very nice except for the fact that we may not be able to use our characters =( time to try and lose that emotional bond ....
unless ..... this is gonna be a strech 101 year old wammos FTW !!!

Well all see what the future brings. Im still playing gw with great pleasure, and will welcome GW2 when it comes out. The reason im rather relaxed about this "news" is that Aion is coming, else id be shitting bricks.

my guess on what we have been told
The add-on will be known as Eye of the North, and stands to be released in Q3 of 2007, gamers must own at least one of the already released GW campaigns
The graphics engine will be brought up to date with latest graphics developments in 2009-10, so you can expect a game engine which will offer unrivalled graphics features in world of MMOs.
18 new multi-level dungeons, 40 new armour sets, 10 new Heroes and massive 150 new skills, out of which 50 belong only to PvE (Player versus Enviroment).
this expansion will be the last throw of the dice before its successor appears on the market
Guild Wars 2. This is a full sequel and will be released in 2009-10 timeframe, with a public beta being released sometime next year. This game will be set several hundred years after GW: Prophecies and Eye of the North, but the main drool factor will be zone-wide events (read, open war in DaoC and Alterac Valley style), combined with refined control system, oriented for action and ease of use. Playable races include Humans, Charr, Norns, Asurians and Sylvarians.
