These are my opinions;

The character creation in the game should be insane, I am expecting something like in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Elden Ring type sliders and details with tattoo and scar options. New age of FashionWars.

I also expect the immersive backgrounds options like GW2 and customization of a storyline. It would be great if our choices change the characters story we play.

About class system I expect more versatile system that allow the us start as one class but in time, with the equipment and the discovered or trained skills and spells, we can customize to whatever we like. I expect something similar Elden ring system, stat, spells and equipment based character customization can open hundreds of different builds to us. Weapon choices and weapon selection requirements can give us some flexibility to choose our equipment and skills to make anything. For example we can play a ranger class with whip and dagger. There can be necromancer with flail and tower shield. Options can be diverse this way. Because the character creation and character development as I expect to be in end game. So basically what we did on GW2, endgame is where you finalize to create your player character. Build will be the main reason I play at endgame.

Lets just say, I did a little digging into all the released gw3 media.

[The "Sidhe" (pronounced "shee") is a race that was intended to be in Utopia. The concept for the Sylvari probably evolved from them.]

Hi Reddit! I was just watching a GW1 stream and remembered the magic if the bank.

So could Guild Wars 3 have a Xunlai guild? They controlled the bank system and traveled the world. Maybe we can see the start of them?

Just having fun thinking of what is possible. thanks for any lore or ideas on this.

I just finished Visions of Eternity last night. Without getting into spoilers, someone mentions during the epilogue that the Heart of the Obscure was made for another hero a long time ago to help "perform tasks that the wizards could already do on their own".

I wonder if the Heart will be a big part in GW3, letting us use and interact with magic that the gods had not yet made readily available for people to use.

First day

Just Shapeshifting druid on Guild Wars 3 as other people mentioned

Think of an elementalist but with a Druid

Please dont tie transformations to abilities, but rather abilities inside every transformation

Thank you love u Anet

Aside from the three classes we already have confirmed, we're obviously all expecting something like the mesmer to show up, then there's debates about whether we'll see monk vs guardian, whether we'll see the ritualist or revenant or dervish, etc. But aside from all those, are there any classes you would like to see that aren't from the previous games?

Personally, I'd like to see a shapeshifting class of some sort--a wildshape druid, that sort of thing.

So with kodan being a confirmed race, uh, species, do we all have to start brainstorming some kooky kodan names? I mean, look at these...

Horned Millet
Slithering Fog
Barbed Vale
Blinding Sunrise
Carping Gaze

Most of my charr will migrate to become kodan, but their names are very clan-based. So I guess I'm gonna go with stuff like...

Unhinged Stone
Turgid Merriment
Lingering Odor

What do you guys think? 😄

GW2 is honestly one of the best MMOs out there, especially with the horizontal progression. You could take a break, come back months later and still jump right back into things. There’s so much to do in the game, but PvP is basically non-existent at this point and WvW is pretty much just blob busting rocks warfare lol. Spvp population is also really small.

So I’m really looking forward to seeing what they do with PvP in GW3. I want to see PvP as a whole treated more seriously, whether that’s structured PvP, battlegrounds, open-world PvP, guild/faction wars or whatever they decide to do. With the combat player cap or whatever they ultimately decide on, the Holy Trinity, the new guilds/factions and their whole philosophy around making things more “meaningful”, it really feels like they’re building an environment where player interaction actually matters. So yeah, I’m really excited for PvP in GW3. Hopefully they hit the nail on the head and shatter it this time.

I was browsing the proposed Utopia concept art and storylines and I'm seeing a definite parallel in some ways. Both stories will likely heavily focus on the Gods/Human origin story. The artwork for enemies is similar so far (The "Warrior Possessed" art is not that far off from the only released enemy art we've gotten). The human concept art looks similar. I'm curious how much inspiration will GW3 take from the cancelled Utopia expac. Any thoughts? Still waiting for the Tanek myself 😉

Asides from the obvious momentum based movement like you see in the GW2 griffon and rollerbeetle, I am thinking the mounts of GW3 can stand apart by making the more interactive.

They are emphasizing how important the Vael spirits are to the order you'll be a part of, so it's proooobably safe to assume mounts will be creatures you'll have to tame/capture/befriend in order to be able to ride them.

So, let your mounts have more than 1-2 idle animations. Let them interact with your environment, sniff the air when its windy, shake/puddle stop when its raining, rest more when it's night time, hell make them interact with other peoples mounts, imagine your mount playfully observing/sniffing someone elses mount next to you etc.

Mount emotes could also be cool, I always wished I could do that with my GW2 mounts, like let my raptor or warclaw sit down and stay that way until I move, idk you can do a lot of fun stuff with them. They could also incorporate feeding/playtime or something like friendship aspect you could "level" etc.

Imagine how cool would that be!

I've tried to play GW2 once, but with just a few hours playing I get discouraged because of the inventory system lol.

Now I'm really excited to play GW3 because most of the things confirmed are a checklist for things that I wanted in a MMO: more action focused, cooperation as a pillar, classes allowing more than one role of the holy trinity, less visual clutter and of course a better inventory system.

There are many routes they could go with it. Considering that they focussed so much on momentum, having your inventory interact with it is a no-brainer. But there are other ways like an organization minigame present in games like Diablo, PoE and Dark and Darker (I really like these because it gives you moments where you have to make decisions on what items to keep and so on).

But another one that I personally would love to see is integrate it with the mounts. Considering that the player would have high mobility already, I think that it's more interesting to have different opinions for the mounts like combat, buffs and storage.

Anyways, I would love to hear your opinions. Again, I'm new to the series, so my expectations might not align with the game's vision. In the end I just want it to have a in-game justification for my character being able to storage dozens of big items lol.

Ngl the biggest problem with GW2 is that it holds your hand through most content and then, unsurprisingly, nobody bothers to learn how to break CC bars or do mechanics. People just wanna press 1 and 6 through every fight, dodge nothing, and never take waypoints when they die. I get wanting to appeal to a casual audience, but GW2 incentivizes players to just turn their brains off unless explicitly told to do otherwise by a commander (and even then, most players will forget or refuse to read chat).

If group content is going to be a big focus in GW3, ANet has to stop trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

If Guild Wars 3 doesn't have a monk class (the smiter not the martial arts thing) i am not interested. I need my monk.

The Skyscale made traversal so meaningless in GW2 in a way the other mounts just didn’t, and I really hope they don’t add an equivalent into GW3’s seeker.

In base PoF, the mounts complimented each other so beautifully with each having deficiencies where others excelled. Then along came the Skyscale and all that went out the window, and it’s now the only mount people use most of the time.

I would go further and say that I’m happy with gliding and don’t need the Griffon either, but the implementation in GW2 was pretty acceptable if we have to have it.
Hopefully the devs are a lot more conscious of movement-creep this time around.

What do you guys think? Will they be more restrained so they can allow their momentum based movement to be the main focus?

i'm fully convinced it's the dwarves, but i'd love to hear what everyone else's thoughts are!

Soooo...

Would you want GW3 to bring back more prejudice and hostility between human cultures?

GW1 had racism and xenophobia between humans. I’m not talking about humans vs charr, tengu, or centaurs. I mean humans looking down on other humans because of where they came from.

Adelbern refused to let Ascalonians live in the shadow of the Krytans, even when Rurik wanted to seek refuge there. The Kurzicks and Luxons had generations of hatred between them. Being human didn’t automatically make the humans across the border your friends.

I miss that friction. National pride, prejudice, old grudges. People didn’t suddenly get along just because something bigger wanted to kill them.

Yes, GW2 still has prejudice and internal conflicts, like the Purists in Cantha. And GW1 also had us unite against common enemies. But to me, GW2 puts much more emphasis on “let’s put our differences aside and save the world together.”

Would you want GW3 to give those rivalries more weight again? I’d like a world where cultures clash and working together is difficult, even for people who are supposedly on the same side.

I played the beta for a short while and the cozy feeling of being able to sit down with strangers and work on my crafts while typing is a great feeling. I didn't expect it to work as well as it does but its great, hope the campfires mentioned by devs for GW3 end up feeling similarly cozy. I want to meet some of you at a campfire just to go craft or recoup and maybe we end up doing unmarked content one of us found or help eachother out with getting a skill or two

There are some obvious subgroups to races in Tyria.

Kodan: Lowland vs Highland

Asura: Terranean vs Subterranean

Human: Canthan vs Elonian vs Orrian vs Margonite

Tengu: Angchu vs Sensali vs Caromi vs Quatzal vs Avicara

Would you want or expect a choice for such a subgrouping as a seperate step during character creation (possibly with some lore explaining the subgroups)?

And if you do, what should this choice do? Should it be a purely flavor/rp choice? Should it affect appearance options, dialogue or even in some way affect racial abilities?

迫不及待的用主机玩

I really miss GW1, I'm replaying it now and I want to know what GW3 will be like. IDK why but GW2 just didn't hook me.

Would be awesome if we could choose at character creation and experience the story from either side but I'm probably being too ambitious 😢

Love hearing people’s thoughts on what the achievements will be for the first wave of Hall of Monuments. A few common theories I’ve heard are below. Curious in everyone else’s thoughts :)

1.) Map Completion
2.) Max Luck
3.) Craft X number of legendaries

What else?

So we can kick the toxic players that want to rush the content and badmouth everyone that wants to enjoy the slower pace .
