Good to see you as always @stukapooka . I appreciate the replies @EA_Shepard , although I really wish we'd get some good news for this IP one of these days.
And as you point out stukapooka, GW2 is that good! I do love the original too, and some love that one more than 2, but the general sentiment is that 2 mostly improved over the original, but the original was great too. I have played other multiplayer shooters over the years; loved TF2, played a lot of Paladins, OW for a time, and some others too, but none have been as fun or kept my interest as long as GW2. It's partly because I love PvZ, partly because the game is so much fun, even against bots (although PvP matches without cheaters are better), and there is so much to do thanks to the excellent backyard battleground and the events we used to get on top of the great PvP and Ops.
I don't even want/need a graphics update, GW and GW2 look great and since they aren't going for ultra-realism, they don't need an overall for their looks, we just need some balancing, new maps, better net code, and better support. I'd love to play all the maps from the GW2 games with some new characters/variants and more PvE options!
