New campaign information!!!

I think A-net should just keep me on staff because I got some really great ideas (IMHO) for GW4. Since my post died down about what race you guys would want to be playable (here) I figured I would post this. This will be just a part of my ideas for 4. Maybe if they’re good enough some of them will get implemented?? A guy can hope. Please comment if you like or dislike. Because this is kind of major and im sure some people will dislike it.

Chapter 4 Ideas
Part I

GW4 will be a series of campaigns instead of just one long (or short…Factions) one. I haven’t decided if they should all directly tie into each other, but as of right now I think it would be best if they made loose references that you would only notice if you actually read all the little flavor text. The main idea behind this expansion is that it would make already existing races, into playable ones. Most of the action would take place as a PREQUEL to Prophecies. I’m surprised no one thought of this before. I would market this game as a stand-alone expansion, but you would also need Proph to fully unlock all playability. I also want it to be a good expansion to start guild wars on. Because honestly, you can’t JUST own Factions or Nightfall or else you’d be missing out on so much.

The expansion would be a series of campaigns, you could label them Easy, Medium, Hard; or just have them done in order and when you beat one you unlock the next. I’m thinking it would consist of 3 different mini campaigns where you play as different races, and they all take place before Proph. Then I would include a 4th bonus campaign that you could only unlock once you beat all the other 3, and it can only be played through with a character who has the “Protector of Tyria” title. Only the 6 core classes would be available for play, since it takes play in the Proph realm. And all the maps would just be super imposed over the proph map. Let me lay out what I mean

Easy Campaign
You are a young Tengu brave. You start off doing the typical run around crap. And the campaign basically teaches you how to play the game (its supposed to mirror Pre) The main focus is you have to go through a series of trails as a right to manhood (womanhood) To earn a title “X” maybe like (Eagle Warrior or something)

Medium Campaign
You are a centaur and your people are being persecuted by the human and chased from their land. Its your job to unite the fallen tribes and carve out series of settlements for your people. This would take you across the entire map as opposed to one little area (which is what I foresee for the previous campaign) I’m don’t know how this would end but I think that’d be an interesting story line. Maybe your rival could be Ventari?

Hard Campaign
You are the Charr, and you start out, everything is great, and then the mursaat come and lock away the titans (your gods) and then people show up and you think they are aiding the mursaat. (maybe they are?!) You declare war on both species, and you basically play it up until present day.

Secret Campaign
You are your character from proph, you need the Protector of Tyria title to unlock this game. It will be the only aspect that takes place AFTER Prophecies. You have to help chase out of the remaining white mantle, doing some stuff with the shining blade, rebuild tyria, instate a new government. Rebuild ascalon. Slap king adelbert around.

Details
The races of would be purely aesthetic. A human would be as good as a charr or tengu or centaur. Max level is still 20. You would only look different; but would be able to take these characters into PvP which would add some flavor. (in pvp they will be about to take the 6 core professions as primary and all 10 as 2ndary) Also, all campaigns will unlock a city on their map which ALL races would have access too, but for whatever reason they have to be at peace (maybe like a super strict policing policiy or maybe a temple of the gods) From this town you could find and take part in secret elite quests that (this is ideal) will change depending on the races involved. This way even though all the campaigns are separate you can still intact with other people. This town would have a seaport so you can sail to the temple of balthazaar. New races, New items, New skills, No new classes.

Thank you for reading this all, please leave me a comment.
I have plenty for ideas for other changes I will be posting soon, so keep comments relevant for +cred.

RE: New campaign information!!!

One thing i can say is it most likely wouldn't have large parts of the game require something from 1 specific campaign. One big part of guildwars is that you can pick up any game and have basically the same experience with a few small things like olias and zenmai heros if you had those campaigns

Hand of Blood Lvl X Spines/Regen Stalker...Triumph
Mystic Entity lvl 24 Katana/Regen Scrapper...Champion
Panzer Faust Lvl 23 SS/Energy Brute (retired)...Protector
Arbiter Darkwind Lvl 33 Thugs/Dark MM (retired)...Protector

RE: New campaign information!!!

nice job

i like ur idea bout using different races and how their campaign shud go.

what i think tht Anet cud use this for is tht u can pick a race and start of with what u explained with the campaigns. but then a new evil comes along so they unite to conquer it with missions like vizunah square from factions.

a PREQUEL to Prophecies

this could be very interesting. maybe we can join the 'guild wars' to.

maybe we discover more about the motives of the charr, the stone summit and what about saul'Dallesio? how he created the white mantle?

ofcourse theres orr. personally i think a-net is going to do something with orr, so much we want to know about it :P

extra idea: wouldt it be cool if the 5 treu gods got madd, and we theres a land like cantha/elona that is seperated in 5 areas (from each god). so the gods treathen all that exists and we must kill them :P

and then when the remaining god is about to kill you, abaddon show up and kills the last remaining god and saves you and everything xD

lol... im out of ideas now

RE: New campaign information!!!

i like everything but 2 things. 1 i dont like your idea of u need for the 5th mission u need to have proff and protector title because your restricting people, i kno alot if people who dont have proffecies because they found about guild wars later and got factions or nightfall. Also since its hard to find proff in gamestores, only on the internet.

Next the idea of unlocking towns. Thats then not fair that you have to get to these places or get there. I like the ideas of no more classess becuz its just 2 much hassel and variety but i like the idea. Thhough you could work more on the story part, this isnt the Warcraft games where you get the different stories this is gw, gw doesnt want to ripp off things from other mmorpgs cuz the fans, readers, and players would be disgusted that gw would be no more original.

RE: New campaign information!!!

Time travel back to presearing. Where you have presearingm, the towns and everything but a totally different presearing. Same NPCs too and gwen, only difference is all the towns obvisouly have high lvls in them. And you do a couple elite missions to clean out charr.

RE: New campaign information!!!

when i played factions i saw that the humans are allies of the tengu, you even have a tengu henchman.
So i said to my brother: would it be cool to play like a tengu, they are fantastic !

so i say, nice idea ;), but i think i prefer one big campaign better.

RE: New campaign information!!!

This is what the 4th chapter should be... To real speculation its supposed to be in a sequel with the reformation of tyria but this is above the shiverpeaks and forest areas.The story goes after the titans and charr making a major army with the mussurat. It supposed to be the end unless they come out with stupid upgrade expansions like WoW or everquest. NO new classes just new races. They cant be every type of monster in the gw world. I suggest on centaur, mussurat, tengu and charr. Though i wouldnt lik to see a mussurat warrior because they are spellcasters. Same thing with centaurs. So charr, and tengu would be the only 2 that CAN be applyed to every class. The new story should evolve with some time Abbadon, shiro, and the linch lord dead. A time of rebuild for tyria,elona,and cantha. THouhg the story goes with the mussarat dwelling in the WU and the fire islands, where they summon a new( and this is where i dont know what to put) ___________ (enemies name) is awaken by them. THen it signals the titans to get the charr and a new war begins.

The story should be this... An open ended story with not many endings. I want to see what would happen with different races. The tengu class should revolve with the chance of extinction and fight for survival with the humans but have some of there own missions.(like kurzick and luxon)

The charr story goes with a charr that revolts against the war and has abilities that he cant be hypontized.

Mounting is a no no, and new classes are bad. SInce u cant think of any without having it come from the circus.

They should add because of the expansion a bonus for charr and tengu classes.

Other then humans, the charr can use a chant that has no attribute and should only be for ONLy charrs lik rage mode(for 5 seconds u deal 33% more damadge and take 20% less damadge)- recharge time is 1 min recharge to be fair

The tengu should have ( for 10 seconds you shout out "VEngence" and make the party have +30 armor and move 15% faster for 20 seconds)-recharge time is 1 min to be fair

Same goes for humans but its different for very class(war, sin, derv,paragon, ele, mes, mo,necro,rit)

THis time you are excorted through the uw, the heavens(new area like elite missions but from the gods themselves) which you can actually meet the gods themselves. Then u go to the mussurat own world in another dimension.(like in nightfall) and its now a lv 50 boss!!! and the part size goes to 18! because i dont wanna see these stupid lv 30 bosses that you can beat in under 2 minutes, no. I want a-net to make the boss have 3 proffesions preferabaly necro/mussurat/and war and have domonated AOE skils that makes the player work hard and a party.

That was not a referance to WoW giant bosses where u need a party of lik 50.

I'd love to be a fluffy little Charr :D if not i find dwarves a rather interesting race to play as... Dwarf assassin anyone?

Also the name New Campaign Information is misleading as i opened this thread expecting actual official news but instead i got a fan idea thread.
