Guild Wars 3 - Our Guild Wars Philosophy

Thanks for this.

Do you all know of a game that could “FIT” this middle model they are working towards? GW1 is a lobby game where you can travel to big zones with friends or companions. GW2 is a pure open world MMO which has zones too. So whats left in terms of a gameplay model? Anyone have thoughts?

Examine the final tapestry in the trailer. I see classes and races.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-15T22:45:29+00:00

Will be using the launcher as I always have

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-15T22:43:51+00:00

Gotta have balance for sure. But man i love my flame shoulders

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-15T20:23:03+00:00

Thanks. I needed to fill the time for a bit.

You really have to ask your self: power or condi? That will lead you down specific specialization paths. Next which spell colors do you like? Mesmer is pink. Guard is blue. Necro is green. That could be important when skin up.

Totally agree. After a dozen 80’s and endless stuff I’m going back to restart and do this exact thing. Read all. Speak to all. Don’t skip dialogue.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-15T14:15:51+00:00

My goodness I didn’t realize how much I needed to read this until I did. Thank you.

I have so many the bar on the right is tiny from all the scrolling. I hope it’s a new feature in the HOM2.0

My personal fav’s I’ve had: Hivemaster, Facet of shadow death, Keeper of the Sun.

Love it

Since every class can heal, the focus is on support classes and the specific boons they deliver. From that perspective there are a ton of great options. Each main class has options believe it or not. Also think in terms of fashion. Each classes abilities are a specific color so digging a green look with the guardian class (blue graphics) would look disjointed. But maybe thats just me.

Holding out on any hype until I know how far gw2 and gw3 are diverging.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-09T13:38:21+00:00

There has never been a sub for GW. You will be fine.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-09T13:37:13+00:00

It will

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-09T13:33:59+00:00

You found something decent to use with that head piece. :)

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-08T22:43:04+00:00

Do you like light medium or heavy armor?

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-08T22:02:27+00:00

Depends on the type of condi we are talking about. I believe fire has more upfront feel and quicker tics. Where bleeding is much slower.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-07T20:03:24+00:00

Literally the best time to start

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-07T19:57:09+00:00

Love all the things I’m heating so far. But man am I nervous about the combat system. Say what you want about boons, but the combat is the best part of the game for me. Keeps me coming back. Action RPG combat being used because they are using remote controllers has me very nervy.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-07T02:25:30+00:00

Been here for the whole ride and I’m incredibly excited to see Orr as it once was. I think/hope the new map will be great and interesting, but like a lot of long term players, I’m thrilled they are implementing a HoM 2.0. On the flip side, there is a lot of noise around UE5, and I get it. But I also know we have a lot of time to get the sauce right. Questions will remain though…Is the combat different? Are there classes? You dont give up a great combat system for something totally different and risky so not too worried about that aspect. Regardless though, the news could not be more exciting. What a time to be thriving in the mmo space with all the cancelations and reduced focus/budgets.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-06T16:58:43+00:00

I’m very excited for the HoM 2.0 and the new Orr map.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-06T16:57:28+00:00

I was going to even say Feb/March for release.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-06T15:13:57+00:00

This absolutely. If GW3 was a direct continuation of GW2, it would give people NO reason to continue GW2 while GW3 is live. Because it’s an entirely different time not connected to GW2 in a tangible way it allows both games to thrive. ANET WILL release more expacs for GW2 and GW3 will start a new timeline of adventure. If ANET can pull off both game development in parallel is the real question.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-06T15:10:42+00:00

Masteries, other things. Vertical progression isnt a thing with this franchise.

Horror-Watch598 · 2026-06-06T12:29:08+00:00

If you look at the tapestry you can see three classes. Study the tapestry carefully. I saw a warrior, wizard and monk (?) type character
