[EXPANSION] Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns Discussion

[Deleted]

I'm truly excited to see more specializations.
The perfect excuse to get rid of initiative system and bring something more similar to gw1's assassin. Please ANet...

[Razael]

I need more info , but i'm fairly interested in the idea of playing a GW2 expansion. Need to see what the Thiefs specialization is before i make up my mind of sticking with it or reroll aswell. Kinda like the idea of playing a sort of Duelist Mesmer, using 2 Swords, or a Sword+ Pistol.

I think beta will start in the middle of spring

The only thing I heard is they will have a working version for Pax East which is in 6 weeks. I'd say 4-8 weeks after that is a reasonable date. So that would be April or may or something.

Mesmer shield seems to have clocks on it... O.O

The ability she uses puts a big clock on the ground too. A lot of people are theorizing that the mesmer specialization will be chronomancer.

Not only that, but the spell effects have clocks in them.







Mesmer mastery will be Chronomancer

This looks great, I hope with the WvsW changes they finally add in a good incentive (like a controllable open world PVE dungeon, one of the highlights of DAOC) but I like what I saw in the announce trailer. I hope we get more Vista's with the new zones, and jumping puzzles.

The first question I had after watching the trailer was, when did Charr become Master Yi? Cool looking nonetheless.

Guild Wars 3 confirmed.

[Shadow Fox]

Mesmer's get shields?...
Mesmer's get shields?!...

Season 2 of the Living Story, that's the Charr member of Destiny's Edge, Rytlock Brimstone. He tried to quell the ghosts of Ascalon with his sword Sohothin(which once belonged to Prince Rurik of GW 1 fame)and ended up dropping through a portal into the Mists. He's apparently returning in HoT as the first of the new profession, the Revenant.

So mesmers are timelords. ._. I want to know what my ele will be.

Btw, did you notice that it looks like dinosaurs are back.



I want to see trex again.

For those who don't know, GW1 had dinosaurs: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dinosaur

[Exroyal]

So far we've confirmed

Mesmer w/ shield (time abilities maybe, chronomancer?)
Rangers w/ staff (druid)
Engineer w/ 2h hammer (Robo controller)

Uncertain or not known at all:
Thief w/ rifle (stealth long range sniper class or xX420quickscopeXx?)
Necromancer w/ greatsword (no comments)
Warrior, Ele, Guardian, Revenant no idea

[Zhinkis]

Doesn't gw2 already have dinos?

Going to add this thread to the sticky list at the top of the forum. Hopefully we keep general expansion talk to this thread. With more detailed threads on specific features as announced.

Looks interesting enough. Still wish Gw2 had gear progression though.

Oh dear god no.

One of the best things about GW2 is that you don't feel pressured about gear. IMO.

[Fencers]

Is it specifically gear progression [stat progression] you desire or just a more definite sense of progression relative to the content?

It may be that Masteries will satisfy the latter if one is just seeking a more... permanent sense of progression to their character in Guild Wars 2. So maybe the new system can give you the feeling you desire but in a way that isn't expressly gear based.

[Kickbuttmario]

Has the max level been updated or is it still 80?

[Acidbaron]

If they add some sort of character progression i'll probably give it another spin as i had a good time in WvWvW, was part of the larger EU alliances on Blackgate.
Ah the grief caused by turtles and mesmer bombs.
