will utopia have a chance?

Yeah, I'm a girl smartass.

I just think it had a really unfitting name.




While I wish it could have been another full campaign, I'm glad that they decided it wasn't going to work. Balance is hard enough doing the original 6 classes, let alone the 10+ that would be in existence after the release of the fourth chapter.

What a coincidence! So am I! Now we can have a slumber party, exchange fashion tips, and gossip about boys!

I like where this is going

Don't forget a pillow fight.

hah! now thats my idea of utopia xD

I'm not sure...

Pyromancer, Aeromancer, etc, all refer to the kind of damage that armor gives better defense to...

what would Chronomancer armor do? And what about the Necromancer?

In any case, Utopia should have had two new professions. Even if they were never developed beyond concept, there must have at least been some ideas of professions being thrown around after Factions was released (when concepts for Utopia were first started).


I also hope some of these mounts make it into GW2... they look fantastic.

It was only a project name, most games have them till a release name is decided on

Yeah, I also heard that what there was of Utopia got turned into the Asura region.

Bleh!

If thats true then I am glad they scrapped Utopia for GW:EN.

I am not sure if I could stand to play through that much of Asura Land.

who cares about a name (I certainly didnt when I got married and had to change mine)......and it would have been shorten anyways...gwu?


(I have the pillows for the pillow fight, if my hubby will let me join).

LMAO!!

Now back on topic. I'd also like to see it included as additional content just like Sorrow's Furnace was. Maybe not all of it, only a little and just enough to keep us doing something while GW2 comes.

The name, to me anyway, just sounds really un-epic. I just didn't like it when I heard it.

i saw a concept art of guild wars 2 showing someone on a boat fishing.

well sure every game should have a fishing tradeskill and also boating would be an awesome new idea.

Love the art, thanks for posting the link. I think you have all the Mesoamerican content you are going to get in the Tarnished Coast, unfortunately, which is a shame because I love the underground temple thing.

My attention was drawn to this from the official wiki: "Interestingly, "utopia" is Greek for "no place" or "place that does not exist". It could also be interpreted as "unseen", which, in turn, points to the Mursaat. " Rata Sum is of course an anagram of Mursaat so I surmise that it was planned we would get more of them in the aborted C4. Their motivation has always been one of the most intriguing aspects of GW to me; perverted good or just plain evil?.... plus they kicked ass....... Anyway I hope they return.

i don't think there will be much more added to GW now, and whiel i wudl like new proffs and regions i don't see that happening, and I would imaging GW2 will have amore limited geopgraphy than GW now has. It certainly sounds like both Elona and Cantha are isolated by the dragons in TYria

this thread just went up in my estimation

It was an in-house development name - they probably would have come up with a better term.

Personally, I think it's a crying shame it didn't happen - GW2 apparently came about because they wanted to do things that they didn't think would work properly in GW1, but it would have been nice to have seen just the continent and story as a mega-expansion without the new professions or other forms of 'reinventing' the game. Especially if it involved finally learning something about the Mursaat...

whats going on here is that theu canceld a chapter, so they said all they did is not finish a chapter and cut it out to be a expansion instead gwen is 1/2 of what utopia is soppose to be defeating the great d , was not going to be the end of C4 but the middle leading to awaking the dragons of the forgotten lands,

from what i think and know you will see 2 of the drgans awake before guild wars 2 , whic h will be the lesser of the 2 dragons, one being the one we woke up in gwen!!!

ps look for another short expansion news comign this christmas , they dont wanbt us knowning about yet ,,,

look at these facts for months guildwars utopia rumors floated about , and all that was said from anet is thats not the truth , guildwarsutopia.com for example , i posted info on that then had thread closed becuzi gave info out abotu the new chapter. then news came out that guild wars 2 is comign and no new chapters.

so next rumor is a new expasion , think about this way guildwars 2 is not to hit sotres til 2009 or 2010, they will have to do somthing to keep us playing and waiting for 2 to come out and eye of the north will not do this

That would be ridicoulously awesome, too bad it didn't happen.

i believe one of the main reasons they abandonned it was the fact they had to make tutorial all over again and that is actually a huge thing. They would also have to do quests leadings from each of the campaigns to the other
