Guild Wars 2

The GW2 Deluxe upgrade in the gem store is very confusing for people. Quite a few people I have talked to about it think its HoT. They are saving gold to buy gems to get it. I try to explain its not, but they don’t seem to listen.

There are two suggestions I have for that upgrade since it is so old and useless now. First just remove it, or second make it deluxe upgrade for HoT and any expansion in the future. Add the newest upgrade items and remove the old ones (or keep them all) 2000 gems is quite expensive for what you get.

Think about it you pay $75 for the game with the deluxe upgrade when you buy the game at mid level price. You pay $60 when you buy the base game. Yes you can use in game gold to buy the gems, but I am going to use Real Money for my purpose.

So you pay $60 for the base game then have to shell out another $25 for the deluxe upgrade. Now you spent $85 instead of $75 and you did not get any more stuff. Oh wait you do with the $75 game you also get a character slot, you don’t with the gemstore deluxe upgrade. Making the $75 game $65 after taking out the character slot

All in all for only $25 more than the $75, you get everything the $75 one has plus $50 in gems to use. plus a character slot that is another $10 off the price making the price even less though you put a bit more up front you get it back making the total price $40 unless more is added for veterans of the game, then it could be less than $40

Now your probably thinking you cant count the gems because I don’t buy gems. Well maybe you don’t, but come on 4000 gems is a nice thing to get for yourself, and you can use them right away if you want, well as soon as you purchase the game lol. Plus you still get more stuff than the $75 game

That is the way I think of it, but I understand most will not.

It doesn’t say Heart of Thorns so I don’t see how people can confuse it. From what I remember, that upgrade specifically states what players get. That upgrade is also far from useless as it provides additional items to players.

There are two deluxe upgrades, one for the original game and one for HoT. The HoT one has a character slot and you can only see it in the store if you own HoT. Those without HoT are greeted with the “Buy HoT” message whenever they open the store.

As I replied to you in the other thread, a week ago:

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

There are two different Deluxe Upgrades in the Gem Store. One for the Core game, and one for Heart of Thorns. They each offer different items, so one could purchase both, if so inclined.

Pretty sure the expansion started at $50, not $60. You get everything in the Upgrade that you get if purchasing when first released, as well. Thus, your numbers are off. Sorry.

And if you are talking about the Core game, which is no longer (readily) available, only the Deluxe Upgrade in the Gem Store is available, then the Digital Deluxe edition sold for $80.00. Twenty dollars more than the Core game, with no free character slot(s).
