Complaint.
Perhaps you’ve had enough of topics like these already and if so, you’re free to take your leave. But if you’re open for discussion, then feel more than welcome to stay.
I must question a few things in the Heart of Thorns expansion.
1. Back in 2012 I prepurchased Gw 2 deluxe edition for 75€ and that includes the core game. Why would new people buying Heart of Thorns be given the core game, that others paid at least 50€ for, for free? While this is a bonus to new players, it does not benefit already existing people in any way.
2. The content is way too plain. While I might be given a new class to play, a new world vs world feature, a new area to discover (Maguma Jungle), the mastery of classes and the gliding item to fly from tree to tree it’s way too plain for 50€.
I paid 50€ for the core game and what I got was a continent. Each Gw 1 expansion provided a continent. Factions provided the orient looking area, Nightfall provided yet another continent and eye of the north played on the same map as Prophesies did, but in other regions.
From my understanding HoT is like eye of the north; Playing on the same map but in other regions. Difference however is that I don’t expect the Maguuma Jungle to be that huge that it can be considered ‘a lot of new regions to explore’
From an expansion I’d like you, Areanet, to remodel the Nightfall area into Gw 2 style or expand the current map with areas unexplorable in Gw 1. For example did people just before Columbus believe our world looked a specific way, until more areas (America in Columbus case) were explored. Our current Prophesies / Eye of the North map could be the same. Expand it in the way that people crossed seas or mountains to find ‘ancient civilizations’ or things like that. But ask the players in advance what kind of civilizations that could be given, instead of bringing in some nonsensical ones that makes everyone quit.
