DreamyAbaddon.3265 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 After watching this GW2 - Winds of Change Cantha expansion trailer, I hope ArenaNet does make this happen. Here's a link to what a Cantha Expansion could be: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The full link to the fan made expac is here https://windsofchange.vasburg.com/, although I still prefer the Celestial Tournament one as a more complete setting https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/User:Lon-ami/Cantha#Introduction Also, your title should add in fan made. It's click bait right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoover.6394 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Is Anet doing it? they should!!! and they should tell us, not in detail but should let us know that it's in development or even planning phase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're EVER going to Cantha, people, which is doubtful, then Anet will let us know about it when the time is right. Until then, creaming your pants every time a new expansion is even mentioned, by people other than Anet, is not going to make you feel better. It'll just make you bitter when nothing happens. Be like us SAB fans when it comes to World 3: expect nothing, thus you don't get disappointed. If it comes, then you can get excited about it. Until then, your dreams will remain just that, dreams.

coso.9173 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I really hope not. Never been fond of Eastern themed settings in mmos and tend to avoid them. How about something actually new? Pof was already in a gw1 area, lws5 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Cantha is ok, but I'd much rather go someplace _new_. Tyria is a big world after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric.4713 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 We've had a jungle, desert and now snow with Icebrood Saga, Cantha would at least bring some diverse environment at least. Also hopefully Ritualist specialization for Revenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramex.1506 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Ehhhhhhh, i prefer Anet to be more creative rather than just fan service Edit: i was surprised to see this post get 2k views but only 10 replies, now i know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lini.2698 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The fake trailer looks cool, but honestly we got enough human focus in PoF. I'd rather we go to somewhere that's more focused on other races in the future. Not necessarily a playable race... Just not more human stuff, they're easily the most boring race in the game.

SkyCakeLight.3750 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I wasn't a huge fan of Cantha and wouldn't want an expansion based on it. Don't think Cantha is bad or anything. Would rather something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well cantha is all about freedom fight for all races since avicaras, tengus, and other speciemens were defeated or droved outside the continent. Actually the avicara clan I lions arch is cantha native, that zone will open as introduction to cantha as i imagine they will start to recover their old areas or help the player. Cantha is more than about Luxons and kurzixk that where defeated long time ago by some cantha ln emperor, it’s about every specimen returning to their land and fight for freedom. About cantha in gw2... its way to soooon for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 As Elric stated there is something to be said about Cantha's _very_ different and unique environments: an enormous sprawling urban center, a a forest of giant stone trees with mansions and cathedrals carved into them, and a sea frozen into jade. Tyria and Elona could be seen as kind of plain and repetitive in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't enjoy pretty much anything that comes out of Hollywood because of the amount of re-makes. It's like they don't have any imagination and I get tired of the same ol' things. With the track record around here, those who keep pining for Cantha -- be careful what you wish for. I'd wager that you will be quite disappointed should it actually happen.

maddoctor.2738 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I don't really want to revisit the lowest point of the franchise. Terrible/messed up lore, bad dialogue, laughable, barely realized cultures (the amount of time you spend with the Luxons/kurzicks is very limited to understand them), a horrible villain with bad motivation and even worse story ( that was retconned heavily in Nightfall), badly written characters like Togo. It had variety of locales and some pretty areas. The gameplay was solid but that won't translate to GW2. The rest is nostalgia, and how you filled the glaring gaps in the story/lore with your imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager that you will be quite disappointed should it actually happen. Well, I would argue that the issue of poor and unimaginative writing goes SOOOOOOOO much farther and deeper than just the _remakes_ of movies and tv shows but instead is pervasive throughout all entertainment media, including video games. As such I myself don't think Anet would really do any better at the level of story telling quality if they took us to Cantha or made up a new region all together. I would again like to emphasize that we would get access to some really different areas, relative to what's been seen in GW2, and that the 'physical' world we play in is just as if not more important than the story.

zityz.6089 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 If we ever do, it won't be until the dragon problems are solved. Pointless to go traveling to another continent when you got dragon frat boys causing trouble in your neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe Guild Wars 2's narrative will ever be about a post- elder dragon world, they're just too tied into the core of GW2's story and themes.

Pointless to go traveling to another continent when you got dragon frat boys causing trouble in your neighborhood. There's literally a dragon that is living in the ocean right now without a name... They can easily tie that Elder Dragon to Cantha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
