I don’t want to speculate on the lore because honestly, I don’t care about lore that much. I want there to be a story, and I just need it to be good enough. I care a whole lot more about the mechanics. I want new classes. I want new skills for existing classes. I want the mastery system to be buffed out in terms of utility and fun and then downgraded in terms of necessity and grind. I want a new landmass that isn’t focused around falling and gliding — preferably old landmasses from Classic Guild Wars but given renewed plot purpose. I want to see the studio focusing on its bread-and-butter players rather than raids and fractals. I’d love to see heroes. And I want a crapton of new armor and weapon skins that aren’t buried behind dungeons or lockboxes.
Will I get any of these things? Yeah, probably not, but a girl can dream about Cantha and Elona, right?
How about you? What do you want out of Guild Wars 2’s next expansion?
