Guild Wars 2

Was there one last year in GW2? I appreciate a dev cant answer if we are having one this year or not, but I was curious if there was a precedent. There are some nice things I am eyeing up on the gem store…

They have been introducing special sales items every friday for a couple of months now.

Those brain cells might have expired, but I thought there was one last year.

I think there was a BL keys discount.

Which might not be so bad if you are into the Wintersday weapons (likely to return if some new snow themed weapon doesn’t arrive), plus Chests during Wintersday may give out gifts as an extra bonus.

There were things on sale for Black Friday. As I recall, people weren’t terribly impressed. However, there were plenty of sales in December and January, including a deal where you could acquire a special mini if you spent real cash on gems (some people thought of it as spending US$50 for the mini and getting gems for free).

tl;dr stuff will be on sale, but hard to say what and how much of a discount.

kitten Gaile…I have to alt-tab now!

;)

ooh Mine-O-Tron!

The really big sales will most likely be around Christmas as many people get gem cards around then. Last year, the Deluxe upgrade was half off as well as some other great deals. We’ve had MANY Gem store releases since the though and they don’t like the Gem store interface being too jump led. I’d imagine, they’ll take the path of staggering items out over the next month with some of the best deals and most wanted item returns (aviators,etc) closer to the end of the year. This is my analysis based on history with a bit of business management knowledge mixed in.

I discovered this pre-Black Friday sale.

I had vowed a mighty vow not to make anymore characters until the trait system got fixed…but…I do know what traits I normally use on my Elementalists…and…I love the male char voice when they change their elements… and the slot was 30% off…

I bought a slot

I am such a sucker

BUT!

On the bright side!

I have my Char Elementalist!

~Lisa-Sheepish but without buyers remorse….or vowers remorse…I need coffee

I’ll be logging in every day to check when the armor sets I want are on sale…in the meantime, I’m too busy with other matters. I have gems ready to burn… please have a big armor set (not outfit!) sale!!!

We are having a sale again?! RIP my gold.

Gaile this is it. Have them bring in the bunny ears and wide rims glasses for the sale. Come on it needs to happen.

I took advantage of the pre-BF sale with real money. Keep working on the game, please.

I here ya on that one. 12 Exo/Asc. geared 80s (2 since 9/9) and here I am working on a 13th b/c of that sale. O.o Granted I had just got my 10k AP chest so it was basically a free slot and, thanx to XP Scrolls and Tomes, it’s a fee 80 too.

I’ve got too many character slots as is, I have 1 for each class, an extra warrior that is just a crafter that I have’t deleted yet until my ranger catches up to his craft, and a blank slot that was a key farming slot but key farming is kinda buried now so I don’t know what to do with the slot. I don’t really want 2 of the same class actively.

What I could really use and would spend money on.. is extra bank tabs going on sale.

Even though your 80 you still gotta grind for the traits xD gl with the grind

BL keys, mystic forge stones and transmutation charges on sale for today only. Will most likely have something new every day till Monday.

Digital Deluxe upgrade -50%.

Still waiting for bunny ears and wide-rim glasses.

#HopeIsReal

Don’t forget the Aviator Sunglasses!

“Hey there. Just wanted to point out there’s a pre-Black Friday sale going on now.
Gaile Gray”

Doesn’t pre-Black Friday sale mean that there will be an actual Black Friday sale?
Star Trek On-Line has 20% off of EVERYTHING in their store in addition to a discount on Zen. Now that is a Black Friday SALE!!!!! Ooooo..

Bring back the kitten bunny ears already!

I was really excited for gw2 black friday, but why aren’t any of the armor skins on sale?

Devs,
Will they be adding more sales later today or not?
I really don’t want to jump the gun and buy something not on sale, then 2 days later it is…

Also, why isn’t there an announcement about a huge sale anyway? I’m sure people are wanting to throw their money left and right today.

let’s hope we see some soon…and not the “blue man group” armors again :/

Wait so stuff was on sale while I was at work? Really now? I work to make money and then I can’t spend said money cause the sale only lasted like 4 hours?

• Salvager’s Supplies (1 Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic, 1 Silver-Fed Salvage-o-Matic, 3 Upgrade Extractors, 3 Black Lion Claim Ticket Scraps, 25 Salvageable Hides, 25 Valuable Metal Scraps, 25 Discarded Garments, 25 Equipment Bags) 2720 -> 1360
• Banker Golem (2 weeks) 500 -> 150
• Name Change Contract 800 -> 400

I would love to buy the slvager’s Supplies but I bought Silver-Fed Salvage-o-matic 2 weeks ago. Do you think i could get a refund for my second silver-fed if i buy the pack today ?

Just saw the salvage o-matics up…great bundle, thanks guys! Now where are my bunny ears???

And thanks to almost a stack of scrolls and knowledge of traits (13th 80), it’ll really just be a few gold to buy the traits I’ll generally want/need. You almost did a good job of raining on my parade. ;p Better luck next time

Armor Skin Sale! Oh wait, none that I want… WTB sale on Viper/Phalanx/Profane/Krytan! Oh well, maybe for Christmas

The sale is on Incarnate, Rampart and Strider’s. Strider is nice, if you ignore the shoulders and mask.

Salvager’s Supplies was a great deal. Bought one even though I already had a SFSoM (should have waited for it to go on sale first. Heh. My own fault for ignoring my modus operadi).

I really want that trickster skin, but I guess i’ll have to wait for a regular sale.

bank tab sale pls.

Updated and on sale for 24 hours:

• Bag Slot Expansion: 400 > 280
• Bank Tab Expansion: 600 > 420
• Shadow Assassin Outfit: 700 > 420

(Please read Donari’s PSA below about bag/bank unlocks when already at the max – will really save a potential headache with support and requesting a gem reimbursement)

finally a bank tab sale

Devildoc.6721:

finally a bank tab sale

I’ve been waiting to get my 3rd bank tab for a while now so I was really happy to see that.

Now I can delete my 6th character (who was holding a bunch of stuff from my bank) and go back to making random extra characters.

PSA: When you buy a bag or bank tab, do it from the UI, not the gem shop. I see many a post from those who bought an expansion only to realize they’d already maxed out their slots.

That means open inventory and click the padlock icon on the bottom bag tab, or open the bank and scroll down to the bottom to click the padlock there. You’ll get a popup asking if you want to buy and saying how many gems it will cost. If there’s no padlock, you have all your allowed tabs already.
