I hope they port GW2 to the Unreal Engine and do it as GW3 with additional new content with new possibilites (the old grafic engine is a bit dated). But I think this will be still a wish wich never comes true.
Its time to put that uglie ess GW2 to rest. These GW2 fanterds are sick happy with these failure of Living Worlds disguised into expansions like SOTO and JW. You are just being fooles by Anet wake up! Demand them a proper game!
the game is 12 years old and when the sequel comes out it will probably be at least 15 years old, it's time to move forward and release something with current standards, stop living in the past.
guild wars 3 is years out. and I mean many years out. your looking at 5 minimum for them to have a sneak peak of it. Also with the success of GW2 I would think they wouldn't want to take away from that.. They are still building onto it. If they did come with a GW3 I would highly recommend finding a system that can bring our achievements over other that a title over your head. The amount of time it took to craft all the legendary items in game and build you treasury of items and gold will need to find a way over. That's the only way to replace it. Or they can find a way to revamp the whole Guild wars 2 by upgrading the game engine and graphics as well as a whole new continent with new races, professions, etc. It would be a massive task but I think it is better than making a GW3.
Guild wars 3 will take long before release because arenanet said them self they want to add still Addon to Guild Wars 2 The Publishers want a Guild Wars 3 Arenanet Developer dont want a Guild Wars 3
There are still millions of players in WoW to be claimed by a new MMO that does everything better than wow does, it's just a matter of reaching them and hooking them in with something that will deliver a better experience. I trust Arenanet to deliver that experience which innovates the genre, as they have some of the best talent of any company in gaming right now. I also trust them because the devs clearly play their own game and are passionate about their own game. Very clearly visible when you look at the dev unveiling of the features of Janthir before it dropped the new player housing. I feel that the top talent at arenanet had been moved off of End of Dragons and onto this new project. You can tell that based on the last 2 micro expansions of SOTO and Janthir Wilds. Though Janthir Wilds is really good in contrast to Soto; it's clear that the top talent developers are working on a much larger project. It just feels to me like the A team is working on the bigger project, whereas the B team is now maintaining the GW2 skeleton that is very well established by now, knowing what the GW2 playerbase wants, and it doesn't take major innovation in the game to keep it regularly updated with excellent art and good story; something that GW2 players have come to expect. I appreciate your perspective and speculation, it was rather interesting to hear, and I think you're right: GW2 is closer than we think. Maybe a couple years away. Only time will tell. It's a great time to be a gamer, and an enjoyer of art and story.
I`m playing GW2 since its release in 2012 and I`m happy with it the way it is. I don`t need a GW3. The only thing that would sound interesting for me would be a remastered GW1 and imo that could be the goal behind "retain loyal players". Otherwise, in my opinion, you could only retain loyal players even more strongly with something new that happens in GW2, because a new GW3 is intended for everyone, so for GW newbies and GW veterans alike and therefore nothing special only for GW veterans. And nowadays not as many potential buyers trust the “early access” as the publishers would like, because many buyers have had negative experiences with it. Even as a GW2 veteran I would also never buy a GW3 in "early access", but I would always wait and see how a new game really presents itself, beyond the publisher's praise and any hype. I don't need this kind of fortune-telling either, because I can just wait and see what new games will or won't come out in peace and quiet.
He is talking early access as in what that position does. There's so many things that go wrong they need people competent enough to be able to handle those situations.. You guys are hilarious lmao
Anet would be stupid to announce to us the multiple planned upcoming releases for GW2 to make a GW3 to replace. I have no issue if it is a GW3, I've tried GW1 and to me, game play, kinda sucks compared to what GW2 is, I also fully understand how old GW1 is as well and that was the best technology back then. Now, "IF" Anet decided to do a revamp on GW1... that would be awesome and would make me want to spend a bit more time in there. For development and hiring purposes, companies can and do things weird now days and also, just to note. It CAN and does take up to 10 yrs for release and launch of a game. Cheers :)
I hope they hired some real game developers this time, and not just make another perpetuating alt "nerf switching" game. I will say Gw2 is not as baf as ESO but degressive class building will destroy an MMO. I have left 4 mmorpgs because they all do the exact same thing over and over.
Tbh, i want GW2 to grown. There is a lot of room to improvement, not only new content but they really should revisit some old stuff. Maybe like you said, in 5-6 years a GW3 would make sense. They have to do it big like GW2 launch. If they wanna retain their playerbase, they can't just release a barebones game
I think as long as they make a game that has no thing to do with gw2 in terms of audience it will be fine. Like, if gw3 is a gacha semi mmo it would just give arenanet money and they can use that to make all the people who play gw3 into playing gw2.
tell me i am crazy, but what if they release guild wars "3" and you still have gw2 characters and everything like lionsarch, and the next or next next addon will be just in unreal engine? Sounds crazy i know.
Everyone hating on this idea just imagine this.. what if they made gw3 as more RAID oriented game offering more Challenge it would be interesting.. im afraid Raids will never really work in gw2 with the overall mentality.. then u could basically chill in 1 game tryhard in the other maybe with Some shared transmogs And titles?
dude , STOP spreading lies !!! Anet denied that they are working on GW3 just two days after the alleged leak of a chairmen from NCSoft. Here is the official Statement: "As an active game studio we are always doing internal exploratory work for possible future titles we’d want to create, however we have nothing to confirm right now. The team’s focus is on Guild Wars 2 development, including the game’s next expansion, which we’re excited to talk about soon."
Hiring the right person can take 1 year. And if the development from scratch to launch in 5 years, you may want to start publishing material 1-2 years before launch. They are hiring now so that they can do the work before they press publish. Makes sense to me
Lets be honest: Guild Wars 2 was not Guild Wars 1, and the only reason Guild Wars 2 exists was to "compete" with WoW with a similar look. It is successful, yes, but not WoW level success. So you have to ask, who is Guild Wars 3 for, why would it come out to directly oppose the second game and all the effort people put into it? How can they build on the franchise with 3 that they can't in 2? They'd just shoot themselves in the foot with a third game.
At the time they began to make GW2 GW1 was the second most played MMO on the market right behind wow.... At the time wow had like 8 million and GW1 had a little over 4. The only reason they made GW2 was because of the limitations of GW1.... The character models couldn't jump, it was near impossible for them to do air ships like they wanted to, they couldn't make the games story half as cinematic or action packed as they wanted to. That is the only reason they made GW2 because they knew making GW2 would anger and cause them to lose some of the GW1 crowd, and it did... If their making GW3 and it is another MMO then I can only imagine it's either because they need a substantial game engine upgrade to do what they want, or GW2 is slowly losing players and expansions pulling enough people back in and they NEED to try and reboot the franchise.
After everything I lost on GW1's Hall of monuments sacrificial altar... talks about GW3 are quite scary after having invest so much in GW2 over the years (account about 272 000 golds value). If reusing the same model when GW3 will come out (only get an handful of things)... I don't think I'll come back to Anet's games again. That process of loosing everything every few years sometime make me regret not having stick to the everlastingly stable WoW. 😭
@@stepanbalakirev8422 at the end... our houses will crumble down, and our kids will abandon us in retirement houses and eventually die too... in maybe less than 70 years nobody will even remember us instead if searching through videos and pictures lost in internet archives. Games are supposed to be fun and stress relieving, but it's "no fun" when earing that a game you love will be euthanized despite being very healthy.
@@stepanbalakirev8422 I don't see the point in killing a game that work well and didn't reached its full potential yet (in-game story + game engine). I sincerely hope for a GW2.5 merging instead of something fully disconnected.
Do you know what happened to Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis? It's a dead game that killed the original. That's what GW3 will bring to GW2. There's no way Arena can make the new game have as much content as GW2. Not everyone will be satisfied with the amount of content and they will hate the game. What happened to PSO 2 players after that? I heard that they created a guild in Final Fantasy called PSO2 Refugees and I heard on Reddit that it's one of the biggest guilds (GW2 Refugees oh no pls). Arena is very slow, they don't fix bugs in old versions and they don't update old maps. Do you expect them to release a better game???? And with all these political agendas, we have no choice but to hold on to what we have or we will all drown.
If it's gonna be another mmo, then the fact that it hasn't been officially announced with a title trailer means it's gonna be at least 5-10 years before we see anything. The senior brand manager hire could mean that we'll be seeing a teaser trailer in the near future, to let people know the official title of their next project and that it's in development. There's zero chance we'll be seeing any kind of gameplay or early access any time soon. There's probably a higher chance this project gets scrapped. It's really not something worth putting hopes in until they drop that title officially at the very least, but realistically people should wait until unedited gameplay is shown. Everyone was so excited for that Riot mmo, but then it got scrapped and restarted development.
Hopefully GW3 will come sooner than later. While GW2 is nice, the populace in the game is dying. It's very hard to convince new people to join decade old MMO.
They have alot of trust to restore and I'd think very hard before choosing to play anything they release in future. If it involves any of the current balance team then I won't be playing it.
click bait master. Good news allover the board o/. best thing is im up to whatever they do on the IP. except Battle Royale. and GW2.5 sounds VERY TEMPTING. it would be like a " we'll extend your time in this game for 10 more years. you're welcome".
The reason you state for cs players quitting cs2 has nothing to do with game mechanics. They are essentially the same game, but it has a lot of cheater problems that never gets addressed and not to mention the gambling promotions that have infested the community.
Yes, this is not a new problem but cheaters have significantly increased cause the new anticheat is worse. There was a youtuber who exposed or rather made a series of videos that showed how bad the gambling problem really is in the game about an year ago. The video gained popularity but resulted in close to nothing changing in the scene. Also the gameplay has not changed since decades, It's the same maps and pretty much same strats which has gotten really boring. The game also requires a relatively competent hardware to run now to play competitive which is also one of cause for its decline.
I think you are missing the mark here. Marketing for GW2 was ongoing for a long time for instance. I'd similarly guess here you'd have 2 years worth of actual marketing, hell you can even count stuff like Hall of Monuments in this. Add another year to actually familiralize yourself with the project, get the team together and make the material and you get to 3 years at minimum. They've also mentioned MMORPG since forever in their postings. It's an MMORPG, now that is a very lose term and i would very much like return to GW1 style instance everything COOPRPG as open world has almost zero value to me in GW2 i think it's getting to cope levels on reddit for instance, denying that this actually is a big game and will be a competitor to GW2 in some way, even if it is COOPRPG. If we take Colins words that deprecating GW1 was a mistake in hindsight, i guess GW2 will continue, if numbers support development, but will not change, like it did up to and including PoF, but will be more of the same with mini expansions and idk 100 people or less working on it. Now this approach is sufficient for a lot of current GW2 playerbase, but for me and many others it's not. Teapot explains it numerous of times, game is not for me and that is fine, not anymore at least.
I really don't get why players are so attached to their in game progress. What value is there to have legendaries and thousands of kp and ap, compared to a brand new game with better looking ui, graphics, physics, cutscenes, new lore, while keeping all the amazing things they implementend in gw2. I think players don't get that a LOT of people who find themselves seeing some gw2 content just think to themselves that they won't play it because the game is dated, and because it's just too much work to get to the level of other players. A fresh new start in the guild wars franchise is the best opportunity they have to be part of the big 3 along with ff14 and WoW, because that was their intention in 2012 and they kind of missed the mark back then. I'm a player who started in 2012, i was 12, so i know. Also, don' t you find pleasure in taking part in early release rush for content ?
I myself haven't finished playing everything I want in GW2 so I wouldn't really look forward to an GW3, but you have a really beautiful way to put your point of view :)
MMOs are basically alternative lives to many people, not just games. Those kind of people put enormous amount of hours into the game to farm rare items, collectibles and achievements just for the sake of feeling better than "average player", similar to how real life is withm money, fame, power etc. New game coming out and replacing the previous MMO basically means to those players all their work is wasted time, it pulls them away from the game and in a manner of speaking puts them "back into reality". Those people feel threatened by that new potential game and losing superiority and will post everywhere they prefer older one to stay and argue that the current one is the best game ever made.
Since the first job openings popped up a few years ago, I always said that it wouldn't be a Guild Wars 3 in the sense of a replacement of Guild Wars 2 - and probably they would avoid setting such expactations by slapping the number 3 on to that title. Yes, it will be set in the Guild Wars Universe. But it will most likely be as different (if not more different) from Guild Wars 2 as Guild Wars 2 was different from Guild Wars 1. My personal favourite idea would be basically a move back towards the CORPG idea they had, but just modernized, so closer to Guild Wars 1.
I just hope we stick to somewhat medieval high fantasy and dont go further into evryone running around with guns, tanks, submarines, airships, robots, AI, mechs etc etc. Hopefully at the end of GW2 there is a cataclysm happening and the successor is about how we deal with troubles in the post apocalyptic world.
I just started GW2 after over a decade, and am loving it! I'm through core (lvl 80 daredevil), and am almost finished with Living World SE02. There is SO much content for a noob like me. This game totally respects my time. It's MY FAULT that I never really gave this MMO a chance, but I have had so much fun exploring everything ArenaNet has to offer. I've joined a guild (KSC) and the people there are TRULY awesome! IF there is a GW3 it will be my new 'home,' and I am excited! But, I completely understand if there's a huge community of players that would be upset after years of time and monetary investment.
You are lucky you started now, there is really content for years and you can explore on your own pace, but i joined gw2 after launch with my lineage2 clan and first years were terrible, countless bugs and we all left after 2 years, hot was very difficult without mounts and i came back to the game after pof release and was told to exp all mounts before playing hot. It is only last few years when many core bugs were finally fixed, new content introduced and population is increasing.
Returning player here too, I'm having fun re-discovering the game. As @juli9019 wrote, I remember the game being borderline unplayable at times between performance issues and lag. Also my guildmates were more like achievers and I'm more of an explorer/experimenter type so I guess I was not enjoying the content at my pace like I do now. My first experience from 11y ago feels like a vague fever dream, logging back to my main this spring I had no idea where I was or what I was doing :p I'm glad I got back to GW2 now as it seems to be in a good state and having people around doing all kinds of content. One thing that got me back was the new scepter mastery for thieves, furtive support is a rare archetype in MORPGS that I was craving to see (had some hope to try that in CrowFall but it was dead on arrival) and I wanted to test it out. I had just restored my Anet account to play some GW1 so I decided to give GW2 another go and it's been my main game for those last 2 months :)
