    I'd keep an open mind until more info is revealed but just in case this is GW2-II at least we still have a GW1 that is being looked after by 2weeks!

    But rest assured, we’re not done making Guild Wars 2—or Guild Wars® Reforged for that matter—and we’re committing to actively developing all three games at the same time.

    Tomorrow, June 6, we’ll be releasing a studio update video, and you’ll hear directly from Studio Head Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 2 Game Director Josh Davis, and Guild Wars® Reforged Game Director Stephen Clarke-Willson as they discuss the future of the Guild Wars franchise.

Set in the enchanting frontier of Orr, the world brims with mystery, magic, and wonder. Play solo or form a band of adventurers, forging impactful and enduring bonds with fellow players, a formative cast of memorable NPCs, and the nature spirits that call Orr home.

    It's strange that the wait for the beta is so short after that teaser. Do we know when they started development?

    It feels more like GW2.1 than a return to the roots with the trinity. But at this point, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Not a fan of gw2 and what looks to be gw3 art style… they strayed away from the more realistic medieval vibe, muted colors, and dark tones of classic gw to this modern -almost futuristic-, flashy, cartoon, my little pony, rainbow glitz and glam style that so many modern games adopt. Highly saturated colors, sparkles, glitter, and glow everywhere.

    There is an obvious shift looking at the concept art for gw1 when compared to 2 and 3, and it’s not a good one in my personal opinion


    The art style is one of many reasons why so many of us stick to gw1, and I can only hope that gw3 has a more unique build and drop system than that of gw2 which abandoned so many facets of what made gw1 great

    Instead of doing it like GW1, with more and refreshing content, they stick to something new which looks generic. Im disappointed.. just like with the crap named GW2 they brought upn us back then.

    I think they dont understand, why so many players still stick to GW1 and wont give up this old game.

    I think they do, but we represent only a very tiny fraction of their playerbase. Yes (maybe) we’re more loyal to the roots of the franchise than GW2 players, but the main core of their players are on GW2. Loyalty doesn’t always bring food to the table :)


    Regarding the trailer, I’m ok with it atm. Not a fan of the flashy colors and the fact you can play differents races (was already the case with gw2), but the movement and graphisms seems interesting. Not to much to see it’s a short trailer.
    I’ll try the game, like most of us will do.

    it’s a very nice thing they reaffirmed they’ll still work on GW1+2. I’m not worried about the future of Gw1

    Ok, but let’s face it, creating new content for a game has its limits. The gameplay remains the same. I see it a bit like watching a movie you really like, after the hundredth viewing, unless you’re a hardcore fan, you get tired of it, that’s normal. For me, Reforged put me on retired, rather than the other way around. But I still prefer knowing that they’re keeping an eye on the older games.

    Played a hell of allot of gw2, only the gvg side though. The pve was terrible. For a game that was called guild wars didnt even have GvG on launch and was community driven for 10+ years.

    I think gw3 will be the same casual fan service, but im all for any revenue that will keep the gw1 server alive.

    Then again, if they dont link the skill bar to the stupid weapons and bring theory crafting back i may be interested. but less likely in something action based. Also bring back a foe i actualy care about. make the destroyers rise again!

    Why is not being interested in GW3 negative?

    I see so many people saying this when it's perfectly natural to know what you want and what you don't. I have zero interest in GW3 atm, and I played through GW2, and tbh, it's just not for me. Is it being negative? I don't believe so.

    For anyone, like what you want and just don't be an asshole about things, and you should be fine with expressing your interest or in this case, a lack of interest in whatever you want.

    when i hear 'bring the game to modern standards' all alarm bells ring. as i understood thats mostly (entirely?) for GW2 so im not bothered by that. but please don't 'modernize' GW, reforged mode has to stay optional. adding content is fine.

    The fact that they are aiming for Action RPG combat is already a negative for me. At least if it is done in a manner like Neverwinter Online. And, as of right now, there isn't a HoM crossover between 1 and 3. Not that I have used it because there is no interest for 2, but if 3 turns out well, there ought to be a connection for us Reforged players.

    I'll wait and see what it looks like, but as we slowly learned about GW2 years ago and progress into disappointment, I am not optimistic about 3.

    HoM bridge between GW1 & 3 was not something I would expect anyway. 2 ->3 makes sense..I guess. Even though it's counterintuitive in a Timey-Wimey way.

    I'll reserve judgement when we have more than 90 seconds of vague animations and we get beta footage.

    Will I take the leap when time comes? Sure, why the f not? I bought into GW2 and jumped into CB1/2 then the OB's. Ended up spending a few years ingame.

    Always came back to GW1. It's my home.
