Zeefa.3915 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I most definitely want to go to Cantha again, I want to see the possibly melted Jade Sea, The now green living Echowald Forest. I want to liberate the other races from the human tyrany of that region. I want to see what happened to that human culture after being secluded like that. So yeah I really really really want to go back to Cantha eventually... But I don't think it fits for the next one, at least not as it seems right now in the story. Also I agree that charr, norn and maybe asura need some expansion with more of a focus on them before we get one with focus on sylvari or human again. And really Far Shiverpeaks and Charr Homelands will be quite interesting too, and either could be made to fit the current direction.... imo. That said, if Cantha is going to be next I will be nothing but super thrilled about it and I would be sad if I have to wait another 3 expansions for it.

ErikTheTyrant.4527 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I want too see the lands to the west of Tyria along with Cantha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Want to explore Cantha? Yes! In the Next Expansion? Highly unlikely, in the next expansion we will deal with Kralkatorik or maybe Palawa Joko, for good this time. Then it's an underwater expansion, to connect with Cantha, and afterwards Cantha. Judging by the size of Cantha it might be 2 expansions worth of content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathok.2914 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Definitely!!!! Cantha is the most beautiful continent in the frenchise and damn how good would it look in Gw2? I mean Kaineng, Shing Jea, the Jade Sea and the Echovald Forest they would look amazing!!! Please anet if we will go to Cantha don’t change the maps too much and please bring us to the shing jea monastery as a city!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigur.9453 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 i haven´t played gw1 for long so i don´t know how cantha is like and the following won´t directly apply to me. i get it, people "bath" in there nostalgia, but why no completly new area? There should be a lot more ground to cover, and would give the devs some more creative freedom. (new cultures/races/location/lore/...) The current (not even full explorable) world map reminds me of a "world map" in ancient greece..why we are not discovering further? Is tyria flat?

Zaklex.6308 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Perhaps just a portion being a part of the last expansion in preparation for GW3, but then I don't think GW1 vets will like the massive changes Anet would need to make to pacify the Chinese government(in order to allow it to be published in China), otherwise there's a whole bunch of Tyria we still haven't seen yet.

Tachenon.5270 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Reversing my opinion from the old forums, as Cantha is a place where dramatic changes to the landscape (within reason, of course) might have actually occurred. But only if we get new (or old) professions with it. I wants my rit, dagnabbit, and not some mechanically irreverent substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 We need to start figthing the undeads navy and the sea dragon, and cantha atm it is closed, they dont like foregeins and they are under a dictatorship, reason Avicaras (chicken people)were expeled... so dont see it in a near future... ANet will continue to north, not south IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadramar.8156 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Definitely not. And I particularly do not want another exclusively human-themed expansion right after this exclusively human-themed expansion. The norn and especially the charr are desperately overdue for some time in the spotlight, and I mean _proper_ time in the spotlight, setting and lore and story and and characters and gear (!) and all, not completely shoved aside like sylvari were in "their" expansion after Verdant Brink. The devs can't just bank on GW1-nostalgia, especially since _this_ game has multiple playable races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ok I Did It.2854 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Depends on how much of Elona we open up with the LW S4, Cantha would be interesting now, as we had 2 elite dungeons there, I cant imagine what the city looks like now though. Of course we could also head back to EotN, there is still a lot of world map we haven't been back to from the first game, so at least Anet have choices.

Menadena.7482 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 While I would like to go there at some time this is not it. Consider we have just had a sylvari-focused and human-focused expansion. We should have expansions focusing on the other races before another human one (unless they plan on letting us roll a Tengu when the expansion comes out).

Reynarth.4819 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 We got some nostalgia come back in this expansion so I think it's time for some new region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonesto.2510 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I would like to explore some area we haven't seen before. Perhaps one of the continents across the Unending Ocean, the Forsaken Cliffs, or maybe even the Blood Legion Homeland NE of Ascalon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yitsul.8342 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 We need to cover more of Elona first and I hope Kralkatorrik doesn't turn it into Dragonbrand Land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Cantha would be fine, but I'd rather go someplace we haven't been before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizler.8192 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I would very much like to return to Cantha but maybe not right away. The world map that was datamined a while back is massive and shows many places we've never come close to before. I'd like to explore more of the bigger world as well as see old familiar places.

sorudo.9054 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 would like but i know Anet can't do it, they then have to exclude china from the expansion and they don't want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcemus.1348 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I love Cantha! That said, Tyria has been feeling really sparse and stretched out since the inclusion of Elona in the world map. I kind of want to instead fill out the current map with new maps before moving on to a different continent. Similarly, while I love Cantha, part of me worries that what we would get is sunken ruins/corrupted remains of the places we loved, and it would hurt to see that, though the Crystal Desert has given me hope that ArenaNet can bring things back into the game without always destroying it.

ScottBroChill.3254 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 If we go to cantha and we don't get some kind of ritualist specialization or profession I will rage so hard. Give me dat razah legend for my rev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauderi.8706 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I say let the warm fuzzy memories of Faux-Asia stay just that. Unless ANet executes it in a new expansion to some impossible standard set by players' hype, there is going to be so. much. whinging. ...but if we can somehow get Tengu out of it... >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasida.4085 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd be curious to see Cantha 250 years later definately. I started in Proph beta and quit shortly after ob for awhile. When they released Factions I came back and was hooked. My fave campaign to date ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikal.4921 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't know what Cantha would look like, but I'm ready for some pretty zones. I'm sick to death of twisted, hideous landscapes. It seems the few really pretty places are tucked away in locations we have little occasion to visit. A prime example is the area in the Skritt cave (East End I think?) in Brisban Wildlands, with the waterfalls, trees, and sun rays streaming in. It's dreamlike, it's so beautiful. It's the kind of place I'd expect to see in high fantasy. I don't understand why games have us questing in terrible places when they could be creating beautiful settings for us, places we'd actually want to be.

witcher.3197 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd love to see Cantha, but looking at Anet's track record if we ever get there it'll only be Cantha in name. Every single inch of it will be destroyed, corrupted, reimagined, and 100% different. I do not want any more of that. If they can give us Cantha 2.0 then sure, I'd love to see it. But if they give us "generic dragon destroyed zone that looks nothing like the GW1 zone" then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Elona hopefully green blood legion lands and even further east, or far shiverpeaks. Those both sound nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martnor.1746 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I would love to eventually see Cantha. But I don't think the story should be rushed to get us there. I feel like we are getting quantity over quality. We are getting a lot of different things but not much depth in each I feel. Like the PoF "core" maps don't have much to do afterwards. The meta doesn't compare to the HoT maps. And we are still getting more maps. Don't get me wrong, I like that we are getting more. But I feel like it's a bit rushed.
