Hmmm....Not many dev posts. 10 pages and almost none 
. It seems the devs post more on GWonline. Flame the devs! 
J/k.
Anyways I love the ideas of 16 a team PvE and PvP. As long as the work sqaud based and not mob based (aka, they are divivded as usual, with the other team under allies, and hopefully you cant heal them or enchant them, but can res them. Also you can only chat to them with Local chat, and Guild chat if others are in your guild.) Also perhaps some way to organize getting 16 people together. Im assuming they are making a better group makign system since it has been asked for for a long time. But I also wouldnt want it to be random because my guild has more than 8 people that PvE and sometimes people ahve to get left out which stinks.

You do not have to buy chapter 2. You can continue to play chapter 1 all you want. But....if you want to play chapter 2, you will have to buy it. I'm sure it will have a similar cost to chapter 1.

On a side note, I will be getting Chapter two. It will probably end up greatly increasing your PUG invite rate as opposed to not having the additional skills and armors in the new chapter.

I hardly ever do this but "OMGZZZFD!dfDF!! Why dont's they give me the game fo' freee!!!!!"
Ok, see how retarded that just sounds? I can't believe you two expect to get a separate game/expansion for free.

just cross your fingers they dont make better armor than fissure or more expensive for that matter...
would be a HUGE waste of money for people who bought fissure and want the new armor...
hopefully this isnt the case, but besides this, im sure the chapter 2 expansion what ever its called will be great

I just read about the new chapter. I bet that Warrior/Assasins will be the new runner of choice.

Did you ever play Diablo2? Morrowind? Ragnorak Online? Each of those games had massive balance problems. Cookie cutter builds, and 1-hit kills were the rule of the day. About RP? Heeeeh, you *could* RP in GW, I guess. Is it that much worse than WoW for RP? If not, blame the community. 13-15year olds are not typicaly RPers.  |

Also in other MMO's, you have to buy the expansion and still pay for the monthly fee. GW is way way ahead in low cost gaming. |
One year of WoW: $50 + ($15 * 12) = $230 per year
One year of GW: $50 ch1 + $50 for ch2 = $100 per year.
With GW you're saving about $130 per year!

Besides Tyria is hugh world. Ascalon and Kryta are only a part of it. Much like the United States or Europe is to the rest of the world. There is a whole lot more going on in the world than just the USA or the EU.
I think it's nice to peel back and explore a different part of Tyria. Just like Tolkien's Middle Earth, there is much more going on than what you read in LOTR or even the Hobbit. For instance, Sauron has a master named Melkor. And there is a proficy that tells of Melkor's return. But that story is outside the realm of LOTR. There is a whole lot of things like that in Middle Earth. I'm happy top see Anet branching out.
Besides, if Anet just sticks with the Charr, then GW can quickly become like the Borg on Star Trek or the new Star Wars films, just the same thing over and over and over. Nothing new.

Everything I've read so far looks amazingly awesome -- I'm especially looking forward to the whole Luxon vs Kurzick thing and the two new professions (plus, the Assassin chick is hot). I also want to see a picture of the Ritualist, plz. I understand he's male -- he better be hot, too, 'cause us females want eye-candy too :P.

ect... |
I would just like to be able to customize it more. Like Morrowind with 50 face mods installed or like the screenshots of EA Sports games (*ducks for cover*) I have seen where you can adjust every facial feature.
Granted, I'd probably still build the next supermodel since I look at my guild wars char for god knows how many hours and it better be neat
and somehow I think so would 80% of the GW playing population.

Well, what I've gathered from elsewhere (including snippets apparently from the CGW article itself) -- the PvP story line mode (aka PvE mode) missions are not optional, but just more missions (think any of those in the game already -- such as Defend the Wall).
If it comes out as it seems, Guild Wars is no longer PvE-friendly, forcing us to play against (or with other players not joined to our party) other people. This opens up the opportunity for griefing; the lack of which was the deciding factor in my trying out Guild Wars. (As a casual player, griefing destroys any fun gained during my very limited time available to play). I can just see groups of people continually playing in the PvP story mission with the sole intent of keeping others from progressing; or in the coperative ones solely with the goal of not cooperating and thus preventing others from progressing.
I pray it does not come out this way. It's aggravating enough as it is that when I set aside time to do certain quests and log in to do them, I can't because my 'nation' doesn't have favor. Guild Wars, more than any of its audiences, seemed to target the non-obsessive players; those who weren't teenagers able to devote their entire life to playing the game but those who play more casually.

Talking about griefing, I wonder if the existing, completely deadlocking grief opportunities are going to be addressed. Like, the people zoning back and forth to make play impossible, and the ones picking up a quest item and just standing there teasing or blackmailing the party.

"Like, the people zoning back and forth to make play impossible, and the ones picking up a quest item and just standing there teasing or blackmailing the party."
Those are addressable simply through reforming a party without the offenders. I'm grossly concerned about the griefing possible with these PvP story missions which seem to put you randomly against/with other parties, which had no input from you at all in its formation.

I'm happy to see Anet put some training for PvP. The current Presearing is all PvE with no PvP training whatsoever. Many ppl have complained about that and now Anet apparently gonna have target calling and pulling quests. This will benefit PvEers and PvPers.
I'm always amazed at how there are so many lvl 20s who still don't know how to call a target or how to attack a called target. Yet, they are at lvl 20. It's like, "how did you get this far?"
Hat's off to you Anet. I'm buying.

On the note of the assassin being female and the ritualist being male...I think that both professions will have male and female models. It would get boring to see 1000plus female assassins running around and 50 male ritualists once chapter 2 is released.

So basically what im getting is that this new chapter is asian set, so we are going to be fighting basically ninjas. I wonder if the pets are gonna be asian set to such as tigers. Not that tigers would be so great cause they would be the same as a stalker or lynx. Also, I am wondering how the have it set up to get our old toons from Tyria to Cantha? Is the ritualist calss really ganna be worth it, i mean it seems to me hes just gonna be a necro that leaves bodies. Im really not to sure if this is gonna be worth it but i will see when it comes out. I might just be to negative about this, but it just dont seem like its gonna be worth another 50 bucks for the game.
Diablo???
I didn't know Tigers were asians.... jk lol

Back to the topic of old chars going to the new place...Is it really possible? I see a slight problem. Beggining areas are meant to train the lower levels... Lvl20 W/Mos and N/Mes running havoc in the beggining areas sounds like a pretty stupid idea, I wonder will it be a different start point for old chars and new ones, or wether the old ones will be stuck in Tyria for good.
Id hate to see what would happen to the game economy if the lvl 20s farmed the beggining areas to death.
Ritualist/Mesmer FTW.
