WoC: What do you expect/want?

At the moment the biggest project the live team is working at is Winds of Change. After WiK and HotN this is going to be the third chapter of Guildwars beyond. I would like to know what you would like to see and what your expectations are. Off course also elcome is what you don't want to see.

Cause there are almost no un-explorable area's in the game and they propably are not making new area's I would like to see they make imperial sanctum an explorable area. I would also like the same for some area's you don't go into very often like amatz bassin. It would give me the same feeling as WiK as it feels like a new area.

I would also love to see tunnels below Cantha being involved. Everytime I run through them to the asuran portal I feel sorry I don't have time to explore that beautifull place and enjoy it more.

Though the HotN solo-missions where fun I missed to experience it with my friends. Though the 7 hero-update let you think differently, a lot of people still see GW as an MMO.

I do hope we see the following characters again:
The Panda bear
Moleneaux
Kuunavang (with his skills, I love celestial storm)
Suun (he is awesome).

Please let me know your thoughts.

yes deffiantly not th tunnels. IIRC they said they were goign to make WoC as hard as WiK. Now imagine trying to do WiK with no large map to tell you were the F**k you want to go. I think i would go insane.

Personally i would like the luxon areas taken advantage of because they have the best landscape. Not too dark like the kurzicks, has actually maps that are followable unlike the KC area, and you can use all 8 slots unlike the starting area.

And i would like to see more armor combinations. I do get tired of all the armor i have and even its combinations. So 1 more actually armor i could mix and match for my ele would be really nice to add soem flavor again. Also i wouldnt mind seeing cool lookign minis this time around.

New armor (read:fc armor for derv/para) and inscribable version in every req of best factions skins (zodiac/cele/jade sea+echo forest rare skins) as final reward.

New armour instead of useless weapon skins (all they do is add a bit of food for the economy, oppressor weapons were mostly ugly and underdone). Preferably common armour's like some boots and headgear.

No more minipets, maybe a couple of new charmable pets.

More unique green skins (and dare I say moddable greens).

Not overly long/tedious missions and plenty of content outside the missions.

New moddable greens.

3rd Ritualist hero.

Imperial Sanctum explorable. My cartographer is getting pissy with her 98.8%.

Open up the far eastern side of Shing Jea as an explorable.

Tengu hero.

New Lux/Kurz skills.

A title-based effect (similar to those found in EOTN) for the Luxon and Kurzick title tracks.

I want an interesting storyline (also hopefuly not too short) and WiK-esque challenging combat.

That.

Also, some new and fun stuff to get me back to playing again. Or something boring and tedious to make me quit it for good. Atm, either way works for me...

- new rit hero
- no solo stuff
- not too much "HM makes it better" stuff
- good looking weapons, not just skins which all are same
- no stuff requiring kurz/lux faction
- no luxon vs kurz in it
- no solo.... said that, but think thats the most important thing for me
- no "search til you weigh a few pounds (like searching a huge lot til you finally found what to do) stuff"

this is based on my opinions, as WiK was pretty good, and HoTN isnt any fun imo

I'd like the play style to be more like WiK and less like HoTN.
That would be neat if maybe some part of the content had 2 party groupings (unwaking/vizunah).
If they were to add new weapons, i'm confident that they look good and different maybe have animation to them. I liked all the oppressor skins.
Don't really need another hero but as long as it fits well with the sotryline.
But i'll always look forward to the free new content, so what ever it is it is.

I would like to see another Canthan hero - maybe a Kurzick and hopefully a rit or mesmer. I just hope it's close to being what WiK was.. with less sitting through dialogues.

Something harder than WiK to compensate for the fact we have 7 heroes.

First to OP... Kuunavang is a she :P
And I agree seeing Kuunavang would be nice.
Only other thing I can say is that I pray there wont be solo stuff (like the Thacks quests) hate those.
I don't need any new armor or weapons... but could be alright rewards along with minies... as usual.
New hero would be nice... regardless of being needed or not (don't care if it is mesmer, sin or rit)
Really just want to see it getting started
and not being solo missions/quests... please non of that.

I wouldn't mind some difficult stuff, but I for sure won't want anymore solo-questing. There should be mobs of 30 level 40 fire and air elementalists...all with 3 second AoE knock down monster skills that strip enchantments even with spell immunity.

I just want to enjoy it.

I really don't think any new heroes are necessary since you can get plenty through the rest of the game AND now people have bought Merc slots (myself included), and new weapons might be cool but are also very very unnecessary.

As long as the dialogue we read is better than most of the mushy stuff Keiran and Gwen choked out during HoTN, I'll be pleased. XD That was just painful to read, and I'm an emotional girly girl!

I never did understand why Guild Wars has solo content. From day one, Guild Wars was designed to be a team based game. I thought the whole point of the game was so every profession has some kind of strength and weakness, and not having some all-in-one wonder build which can exploit the crap out of the game.

Personally, I wish that they would just admit that Faction grind is really boring and come out with daily rotating quests which give large Faction rewards. At least fans can have an alternative to crappy bot-filled PvP and speed vanquishing.

besides the obvious (wanting it to start soon)....I would like to see NO solo quests. No preset skills on your bar quests (eg no bmp style or keiran style).
3rd mesmer and 3rd rit hero (NO to useless melee--have plenty already that never see the light of day).
More areas to explore (yeah that aint gonna happen).

new weapons skins and new armor would be nice (NO new costumes--no more microtransactions)

It would be nice though if the pvp areas of cantha were included in some way so that mappers could explore them without having to get yelled at by teams.

Yea it would make it less of a hassle, I got around the rage by actually playing the competitive missions at the same time

Well from what I remember when they did the survey about WIK they said there will be a hard mode option for some better rewards for those that want a challenge as opposed to those that just want to experience the content. Also I think they said something about the WoC taking place near cities. I think it was an interview with John on Arena-Nets blog

yeah same here...play for the first few minutes, get killed off and then seem to get lost for a few minutes and scrap a wall here.....run back into an opposing group--die, rez, hit another wall in the other area...rinse repeat.....was nice back in the day we had a few times set up for carto people to just map the areas (before they changed jq and fa)....

so what I expect to see from this update WHEN it starts--solo quest, sin hero and more useless drops and no new weapons or armors (just exactly what should I be doing with my stacks of white mantle badges?)...so a new stack of useless collector items is what I expect to see....I HOPE to be wrong.

I don't want to see the BMP/Thackeray type quests. I have enjoyed doing WIK on many characters, but HoTN I have done once, with no intention of ever doing it again.

+1, freaking hated HoTN but the commando quest wasnt too bad since it was a joke and lasted only a weekend.

Zodiac Armor
New inscribable weapons(bladed,echo,gothic def etc)
NO GREENS <---- I cannot stress this enough
give dervs and paras kurz/luxon armor(for other ppl)
Have WoC somehow involve the kurzick and luxon(jade sea is my favorite area in the entire game) areas including Urgoz and Deep.
Mini Aspect of Kanaxai/Twisted Bark and make them drop from deep and urgoz end chests.

Yes! Those fake cutscenes where you just get a ton of text in little boxes with an avatar and in team chat are lame. Real cutscenes this time please.

Doesn't anybody else foresee a mass QQ fest if another hero is released? Especially if it's a Rit or Mes? People will complain that they wasted real life money on a merc hero they ended up not needing at all.
