What will you do differently in GW2?

If I play, then I'll focus on one character only.

I'd also like to try getting into PvP early. Along with everyone else, it seems.

I never was an elitist ass in GW1, so I will make sure I am an elitist ass as soon as GW2 is released.

Never again will I be a Guild Leader, way to much effort for way to little rewards. Though I've a great guild now we've had some really rocky times and the weight always sits on my shoulders.

I will focus on just one char for a good long time before starting new ones, unlike GW where I maxed out my char slots everytime a new proff or slot came along.

It's never too late to start! Start being elitist now, then make the same character name in GW2 so everyone knows you! That's my pro elitist plan. /sarcasm

I plan to wait for reviews or play the beta before buying GW2 instead of buying it sight-unseen and pre-ordering every expansion like I did for GW1.

PvP from the beginning. I play to do my share of PvE but I want to get into the PvP from the ground level. GW1 PvP is too jaded and elitest for me.

PvP moaaaaar!
And not farm for money. Evar. Unless it's somehow neccessary for PvP. In which case I won't play it

GW2 will have farming nerfed from the first day, and a PvP reward system (zaizen chest) from the first day too, so ...

Pick a character class that will get into groups (I chose assassin this time)

I enjoy GW for what it is, so I have no real interest in GW2. Persistence and all the other MMO trappings are completely unappealing.

Almost everybody plan to do more PvP? I am surprised. ArenaNet is going to a "more PvE" game I think, so I hope they read this "curiosity".

I'm gonna fill up my character slots with characters as soon as I can. I'm planning on having one of every race, instead of one of every profession. Also, assuming they have the same or similar professions (if some are merged, that doesn't particularly bother me, as long as they can do everything the merged professions could do) I'll probably start with a dervish and a ritualist, instead of with an ele and assassin.

However, if they do away with the profession system altogether, I wouldn't mind. In fact, I would prefer it if each race had some sort of primary attribute/skillset, and you could change primary and secondary professions at will. As long as the race attributes didn't favour specific professions significantly over others (like Asura favouring elementalists, and Norn favouring warriors).

I'm also going to try and survive long enough to get the equivalent survivor titles, although I'm hoping they'll modify it to be a specific amount of xp between deaths, instead of a specific amount before the first death.

One of the biggest things I'd do differently would be to not push myself to play a particular character/profession/etc that i don't find fun. My first time through GW1, I tried playing a monk and it really didn't suit me. I knew monks were in relatively high demand, so I kept playing, but it just wasn't enjoyable. I "parked" that character and rolled a warrior. That monk pretty much remained unused, even after several other characters beat the other campaigns, until the time came when I needed the character slot. I happily sold any and all items that monk had and deposited the gold in storage, then deleted her w/o feeling bad in the least.

Anyway, other than that, I am hoping for the same, (or at least similar), overall enjoyable gameplay I have come to expect in GW1.

Take all the generic names before anyone else, just for fun.

"Raven, Crow, Shadow, Blood, Dark etc etc" The stuff beginner RPers crave for.

Probably not waste money on stuff I don't need and go for higher targets than I did when I started GW.

I think i'll try to stick to one char this time, get everything i want, and do a mix of PvE and PvP. I definately want to excel in this "World vs World" pvp they have planned.

Have characters that all look different and don't have similar names (like all Ardnek or Leigh something with blue eyes and strawberry/dirty blonde hair like me lol), and I won't make multiple rangers again! No multiples of anything unless I have extra character slots and am uber bored.

Start off making a lot of characters from different professions BEFORE I choose my main And I think all the ideas so far are excellent. (Except maybe be even more elitist ;p)

Due to time constraints i'll be focusing on one main character rather that spreading myself two thinly over many.
But I'll still totally ignore PvP, i keep my PvP'ing to first person shooters

You guys who plan to farm PvE earlier to make 'big bucks'.. Well no other bugger is gonna have 'big bucks' to BUY your 'new uber rare weapon' now, are they?


Personally, I'm going to make 1 character and stick to it, and not delete it, or make another and go again.. Along with filling all my character slots but 1 (PvP slot :P) for those 1-year birthday presents.

Also, balance equally my time with PvP and PvE. Become a decent PvP'er and 'Elitist' haha, early in the game on release.. Along with going far with PvE unlocking skills, exploring, etc.. On my lil Asura! (yes, I'm choosing Asura as my race )..

If only that were true.
Getting in the beta is immensely important if you want to be truly filthy stinking rich in a MMORPG, because of the head start beta testers get over the mere humans. That's why you'll see hysterical temper tantrums all over the place when the betas start from those who didn't get in.

As for what I'll do differently in GW2: I don't know if there'll be yellow snow in GW2, but if there is any, I wont eat it.

I'll echo the thoughts of others to create one character and stick to it.

If I purchase GW2, I'll be a ranger. Race? We'll see who has the best armor?

Can’t see myself sticking to one character as I am a character fanatic, but I’ll try not to have 30 + again. Also, I won’t delete so many of them for silly reasons.
