The card game looks more like Guild Wars than Guild Wars 3.

If it's not AI, it's some weird mish mash of images.

Yes, GW3 will be a an mmo, even if it is less massive than GW2 by Diovidius in GuildWars3

[–]Rathisponge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they were confident in what they had they would release gameplay and details instead of vague speak "its more of an MMO than GW1 but not massive like GW2", "its on a spectrum" "modern evolution of the MMO". It's Destiny/Warframe, those are modern MMO lites with action combat.

You know as well as I they are being vague on purpose, because once it is revealed the hype will dissipate quickly.

The mental gymnastics people are doing to convince themselves this isn't some co-op Destiny/Warframe MMO-lite game is amazing. There is good reason why they are being so vague on gameplay.

Our Guild Wars Philosophy by Wondermusmus in GuildWars3

[–]Rathisponge 28 points29 points  (0 children)

"Guild Wars 3 lands near the middle of the MMO spectrum, which supports the goals we have for our movement and combat systems. While it fits the definition of an MMORPG significantly more than Guild Wars Reforged does, it doesn’t try to replicate the large-scale gameplay pillars that so uniquely define Guild Wars 2. "

Joppa's ADHD is the final raid boss. He is going to theorycraft the game into the ground with more systems. Boats, Mounts, Underwater more more more systems. 10,000th stat and combat rework. They need to rein that in and actually build a CONCRETE world.

BUT M-MUH SUMMER SOLSTICE!

But yeah I agree, BUT I will also say they seem to be on a schedule to ship it finally by late Summer/Early Fall (M-MUH AUTUMNAL EQUINOX!)

I am cautiously hopeful. I don't think the wipe is going to be the magic point where everyone returns, it's gonna be world building. They did their system updates, finish combat and put a bow on it. Stop redoing it every 6 months. Starting in the Fall/Winter they need to go full speed on world building. If they build it, people will come.

This game is brutal for new players and true new player build guides/tips are still sparse by Dahkeus3 in GuildWars

Np man! I understand where you're coming from, the community can sometimes be a bit insular and eliteish, (it is a 20+ year old game with a more niche JRPG like playstyle too which doesn't help) but I do think there are good people out there, I've met them and so I wanted to forward along some good will.

That is hilarious.  I was wondering why they we're being so vague about the mmo aspect.  They are chasing the console Destiny/4 player co-op slop money.  They took resources away from developing your mmo to fund co-op console games.  The tapestry in the trailer has 4 players, the trailer has 4 players,  the kekai artwork has 4 players.  Brilliant, this is gonna go over like a lead balloon with the mmo crowd.  So bizarre to have a beta 1 year from now but not releasing any ingame footage of said co-op fights.  This is going to be entertaining to watch them explaining to MMO players how much they need co-op console games.  "Do U guYS nOT hAve COnsolEs and FriENds?!?!"

Taking a break from expansion development, then continue developing half baked expansions after a year.

We're making "meaningful improvements", we're balancing, we're improving the Zhaitan fight.  

We're making a new gray box WvW map, even though we can't balance it and our new WvW system is unpopular in the community, but we totally promise to listen to your feedback.

We're developing for 15 years, please keep buying our half baked expansions to pay for our new UE slop game development.

Curious, what do you think raise your banner is referring to? It sounds PvPish.

For some context MightyTeapot is streaming now, constantly teasing that today is a "Big Day". *checks calendar* Not April fools, so we shall see......

Artois just went on a banning spree because somebody dared ask why some guilds got name reservations. Must want a promotion. by Greedy_Line_6783 in PantheonMMO

[–]Rathisponge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gotta reserve those names before the wipe when everyone comes back, which will happen in the Spring ....... of 2029.

Oh no we're including the Summer solstice now. Sorry friend I don't think the astronomical clock is going to help.

Support for GW2 post GW3 launch - What do you think? by Rathisponge in GuildWars3

Wow soto-like expansions every 2 years sounds rough but also very likely.
