So North Africa, this could include an Egyptian and even some Moroccan influence as well in there. The savannah sounds nice, I'm interesting in seeing new monster types that could come from that. Hmmm, I see a lot of possibilities.

For the 4th, I'm assuming lots of South American influences (which will have the Amazon [fighter, not river]). Looks like I won't be getting either of them if my predictions are true cause I don't like those settings. But if the 3rd chapter has anything like savannahs, then I expect a lot of open areas which is what I think GW needs as I'm kind of getting tired of the confined areas they keep us in. Yes, I know I just contradicted myself for saying I won't want to get it in the first sentence, and then in the second, implying that I will.

I think a different class shoulda been for CH2 ansted of the Ritualist, and save that for CH3, since the rit is more witch doctery/voo doo like. and it would of gone well the the North African theme. but they know how to run a company.

Cool, the idea with the 2 teams working on separate campaigns is pretty good - year per camplaign, but it will come in 6 months.

I guess the spear fighter will be one of the new classes, some sort of warrior...maybe
or a new race-class?

HA needs fixing/changing, we don't need new and pointless "competition" modes like alliances that only our PvE characters can grind.

I think it's referring to the GW World Championship tournaments...

IMO we already have a shaman...the ritualist. By its clothes and by the way he moves when he casts spirits, it seemed more African to me then Asian, but then again I dont know much about either of the cultures. Thats why I made my ritualist as African looking as possible despite the generally all Asian faces.

On another note, I figured they would go to Africa next. One of the few landscapes they havent done yet are a savanah, and I think I suggested that they visit an African like place in a thread a long while back..I'm not going to waste my time finding it though .

Sounds very original IMO. Cant wait.

Open areas ftw! No more paths chosen for us I hope..

alliance battles can be played with PvP only chars... go to GH and talk to Alliance Battle dude or something...

though i admit... after part 3 is out, who will ever play alliance battles? not to mention when were at part 10...

Is it just me, or does every 6 months sound like a lot? I mean 2 basically entirely new games per year? We JUST barely got factions, and people are looking forward to the new release already. Feeling like you have thoroughly played through a Campaign takes me more than 6 months. Maybe the others won't be the magnitude that Prophecies was, but for some people it will take them that long to just get to the end, much less play it through.
Also, will there be new classes for every release? If that is the case I'm not exactly keen on the idea. The amount of classes will become unbearable. Sure the vets will be happy to see more diversity, etc. But that's a lot. I don't disagree with adding new campaigns new character etc. but two per year seems a little quick to me.

I'm gonna have to agree with Hippocheesebarn. At first, the idea sounds great, but after that. Every 6 months does seem a little too fast for me. I mean, I'm STILL doing the Sorrow's Furnace quests on my main. THEN, I'll be done. Until then however, I'll have to do the whole Factions campaign, and who knows how long THAT will take. I've got a life outside of Guild Wars, no matter how much I love the game. So I don't think I'll be fast enough to catch up before they release Chapter 3. I do like the idea of a African themed culture though. I also think we should've save the Ritualist for the 3rd Chapter too. I wonder what enemy the "Africans" will be facing...also, it's not like Chapter 1 covered the traditional European culture theme. I never saw any grand castles and such... ... ...I'm rambling so I think I'll stop now. :P Yeah, I'm going to be picking up my Collector's Edition this weekend...yay me! ^_^ Later Guys, gotta get back to work. :P

Games dont suck if you take the time to enjoy them. Games suck when you rush through them like a n00b.
Dude, we think alike...that's kinda creepy. LOL. I mean, I practically soloed all of the Prophecies campaign...THEN I had myself rushed through it. Also, I've explored 99% of the Tyrian map...exactly 99%...I can't find the rest of the 1% but the game was enjoyable at my pace. ^_^

Two new classes, two more character slots, and same old linear PvE content. All for $49.99. Nothing to wow about. Just take a look at Factions. More like an expansion to me. I can just forecast it. Guild Wars 4: South American Jungle. Guild Wars 5: The Australian Outback. Guild Wars 6: The Medival Europe. Guild Wars 7: Antarctica. Hmmm, Guild Wars 8: Outer Rims of the Galaxy. Eight Guild Wars in total. So that makes, 16 character slots FTW!

Cantha is Asian-INfluenced but not Asian-Exact.

I'm sure this game will be North African Influenced, but not NF-Exact.

But you know since you mentioned Antartica, I'd LURV to see a surpreme cold campaign or something.

Edit: AND remember we can now (or soon will be) able to BUY character slots, so thats a possibility of 30+ slots for some people

Ooh north africa. I can almost picture some of the new armours now. Necros instead of face scars get a bone piercing through the nose..... Most armours are skimpy and consist of loincloths and...... well that's about it actually

Congrats. You've generalized a generalized statement. Have fun with that.

...anyway...an African theme just happens to be exactly what I wanted to see next. /sigh seems like I'll never be able to escape the game I wonder if this means no tengu in chapter 3, and no more of their evil battle cry, "Mah-wrawk!" Well if GW continues to follow the path of my imagination then Chapter 4 will be set in a nation floating above the clouds! Yahar!

any guesses for chapter 4?

My guess is somewhere where the weather changes like mad... From Ice to Blazin hot! And there'll be igloo's and tents all over the place depending on the time of year.

ok.. that was dumb... nevermind that. [:S] this is the reason why i just play the games. w00t w00t
