Well i'm very excited. I for one like the idea of GW 2 being more RPGish. And finnaly another fantasy based chapter comming, I think the culture base was kinda holding us back. And 40 armor sets, WOAH! Yeah, I'me PHSYCHED!
Oh BTW, Gaile. NEVER change that Avatar, it brings back memories of before release.
PC Gamer Has Landed!

Guild Wars isn't starting to turn into the World of Warcraft.
It's going to become an actual MMO.
Regarding GW:EN, I'm suprised most of the stuff in the Inquirer is true. Very funny! And it did say that the races are playable, or not? Lemme go back...
And yeah, GW2 definantly sounds like it's going to be pay-to-play. Zinger already stated the costs of consistant worlds.

If the higher levels are just to show how long you've played this character it's fine with me. As long as there is no monthly fee it can't be THAT bad.
You just got tomahawked
NO NO GAILE SAY IT AINT SO!!!!
Even though you can just play on a PvP toon I refuse to grind to a good lvl.
Since I refuse to grind I cannot play 1/2 of PvP. I very much like GW PvP. (its the only thing that keeps me addicted to GW). The reason I came to GW is because I heard there was very little grinding. If there will be grinding in GW2 why should I stay at GW?

I really think people ought to take a break on dissing all the time. I mean the thing is two years away and people just keep on ranting. I mean the game will be good no doubt it will be different from previous GW games but thats not necessarily bad. Have faith in the Anet team imo.
Another thing which pisses me off is why is every change to GW compared to WoW. They are obviously trying to different things here and lets give them a chance.
P.S--:the irony that this is a rant is not lost on me!!

And the level caps? Please Gaile?

To be honest I am a little excited about GW2. Although it sounds like there will be no support for GW1 once the sequel is released, but I really hope they'll keep making expansions/chapters/updates for GW1 for those who prefer that type of gameplay. But that could be a lot of work for Anet. @_@

GW2 won't beat WoW; nothing will. But if it's a bad game in itslf by being too similar or too different (i.e. Vanguard), it will die quickly.
EDIT: No monthly fees? Perhaps, if technology radically becomes more efficient in 2 years. But I think it's premature to say that there will absolutely be no monthly fee. Then again, I'm not an IT software engineer.

So many ignorant people in this thread. The level cap was killing Guild Wars in my opinion. It took a couple of days to reach the cap and then that was it. I like how in the stuctured PvP everyone is raised to the cap, though I wish you still had to unlock skills to use them.
Also just because they had added more freedom to the movement it's now a WoW clone? That is the silliest statement I have ever heard. Movement is horrible in Guild Wars. How many times had I wanted to jump over something or fall off a cliff and wasn't able to.
Guild Wars 2 seems to be adding many features I've been preaching MMOs to add. It looks like finally players will be able to interact and affect the world around them. Of course it sounds alot simpler then I hoped, but it is a step in the right direction.
All in all I am excited, though it seems we have a while to wait before we see anything new.

So is Eye of the North the last chapter for Guild Wars 1?
What will this Eye of the North include?
When is the Release date for Guild Wars 2?
Can we carry over Characters from the first one?
Is there any Pictures in the new PC Gamer mag of the Eye of the North chapter?

Bah, the level cap at 20 MADE GW. You don't have to even worry about it. Get to level 20, then you really start to learn.

Guys, by hearing what you say, here is what i say :
Grow up! do you think Anet does stuff randomly, GW2 will be 100000x better and funner than the current guildwars, dont forget Anet has a profile for making really great MMO games, so dont think they will drop the guildwars spirit. everything that was announced was forseen. LVL20 cap is not an issue since the GW2 engine is a different one from the current game. SO STOP DOING THE PESSISMISTE ATTITUDE, you can disagree when you play the game not when the first ideas of it has come out. Gail tell the dev team A++ they are working hard and im waiting to see the next Guildwars chaper + GW2 .
PS: GW2 is coming out +2 years from now so we are real far.

Personally, I think this is all very exciting news. I'd love to see GW2 move into the arena of a full-fledged MMO type of game. The description of World PvP sounds very cool, just might get me to play PvP as well. With GW1, Anet designed a game that surprised everybody and broke away from the standard MMO approach, and I can only trust that they'll continue forward with the same creative zeal for GW2, even as they move toward something more familiar and accessible, at least on the surface anyway.
But for now, the Chapter 4 news is exciting in its own right. Subterranean network spanning all three continents? The Charr homeland? PvE-only skills? And the return of Gwen... all very cool stuff.
Such inspriing possibilites and ideas... thank you Anet!

Imo looks like a further rift between PvP and PvE players.. Shame.
Still, I gotta wait over a month or something before it's on the stands here in the UK.

Will we get to keep our char names for GW2? Thats all i want from GW1
Meat Axe
I don't mind an increased level cap. But if there is one, I hope that GW2 PvE is a really huge game, that allows a steady progression (like Prophecies, but five times bigger). Either that or higher levels are purely to show the "age" of a character. I really don't want to be grinding to lvl 100 or whatever just to beat the game.

There will be opportunities for players to continue their character development. That does not equal grind.
You may simply choose to not continue your character developement after you hit whatever pre-determined point you decide to do so at.
The rest of us will enjoy the additional opportunity this presents.
Your ability to be competetive in the World PvP may be an issue, I agree. But since there is currently no equivalent in GW, what exactly are you missing out on? You can still GvG or whatever form organized PvP will take, and play at max level, with UaX.
I fail to see the problem.
Also, take into account we are far, far away from release. There were many things stated pre-release which never came quite to frutiion, or did but in a very different form. hat's the nature of the beast, and a sign of how much ANet listens to their customers.

And it's not just "more freedom" which makes it a WoW clone. It's the Instance Dungeons. The Mass People. The World PvP. The package of WoW's strengths as a whole, which many new MMOs have been utilizing.

booo.. no more level cap , it made gw one..... dont kill it .
if i cna transfer my previous chars over, and a lvl cap, ill spend my food money for a month to get it..

Sjekster
But from what I understand is that the lvl cap in EotN will be raised? Not just GW2?
The thing I like most about GW is the equal opportunities players have, being lvl 20 and all. Not that some dude with time to spare grinds his way to lvl 100 in 3 days, while other players will need 100 days for that, and thus getting way behind. It will just become another time consuming game like WoW where some players go crazy with grinding to stay on top.
GW in it's current state is fun, friendly and not so time consuming, which is a good thing.

If the level cap is 100+ in Gw2 I really hope the level system will be the same as GW1. Example, once you reach lvl15 it will take 15k xp to reach the next level from now on.

The level 20 cap was one of the top 10 reasons I enjoyed GW. I enjoyed being able to level quickly, if I so chose, so I could move on to the higher end content. Leveling in a game is not what is fun to me, so I'm pretty disappointed about the higher level cap of PvE.
I don't really care about any of the other things. None of it seemed terribly exciting to me, but it also didn't seem terrible either. I'm thinking GW2 won't be for me.
Riesz
Everything sounds so exciting, except the lack of a level cap. I have mixed feelings about it, depending on what they'll do with the higher levels... will it take a long time to gain levels? Will you keep getting stat points for each level? Etc etc... don't put it down before all info is known, though. And for goodness sakes, the game isn't even in beta yet!
wsmcasey
I for one am glad they are making the PvE a full fledged MMO! Its about time!
Thanks for keeping us posted Gaile!
The future is looking much much brighter for Guildwar!

Besides the fact that no one knows what kind of leveling curve it'll have or how your level will affect you in combat. People need to calm down. PvP is remaining the same, if not becoming easier now that you don't need to unlock skills and I don't see how a higher cap changes PvE.
hobbes2oo
Well I think that the fit has hit the shan, so to speak. Call me a pessimist if you want to but there was another MMO that tried to change things up and failed (IMO) Star Wars Galaxies. I understand that this is a business after all and they have to competitively compete with other MMO's, but I cringe when a company reverses direction in a successful game.
100+ levels? Is that what is on the table for GW2? Well back to level grinding, the one great thing that GW1 was able to eliminate. I came over to GW because they got rid of grinding for levels, I can only hope that Gaile Grey and crew can come up with a solution that removes the needless level grinding from the future of GW2.
Other than that gut reaction to the possibility of having no level cap. GW2 in general though sounds like a interesting idea, I too hope that we can take our GW1 characters over to GW2 when it comes out. Call me a optimist but I am very excited for GWEN and GW2, just make sure that you get a auction house in to one or the other

My sentiments are shared by my entire very strong PvP alliance ([Koss]).
We do not want to have to grind up to lvl w/e just to be able to be competitive. if I wanted to do that I should just go play WoW.

I have rather mixed feelings about all this news.
GW:EotN sounds great, with the exception of "sub-terranin tunnels". That sounds kind-a "clicha". But I have faith Anet will do it right.
GW2 on the other had has me worried. It sonds like they are moving it more toward a "typical" MMO. One of the reasons I liked GW so much was that it was so diffrent from other online games. The other reason, of course, is no monthly fee. So as long as that remains true I will probably still give GW2 a chance.
Regardless, I'm disapointed the Stand-alone expansion model did not prove to be as much of a success as they had wanted. I really like the concept and was hoping it would go farther.
Despite my reservations, I will definatly be purchasing GW:EotN. And, barring any real life current events around release date, buy at least the first installment of GW2. Anet's history to date has shown I can give GW2 at least that chance.
