Q:

Hi, I have only one problem concerning HoT. First and the most important thing in this text is that I play only PvP nothing else. So as you can see there’s nothing that comes for me from purchasing HoT as it is. The new gamemode Stonghold will be playeble for palyers who didn’t buy HoT. So the last thing that concerns me are the Specializations I have read that you will be able to play them in PvP and that aplies only the ppl who gave 50$ for HoT. I get that you want ppl to pay what you created, but, look at it from my perspective. Is it really worth it for me to buy a new prof for 50$? Have you a solution for me? If not I have a suggestion, make Stronghold a paid map. Then make it with the specs purchaseble as a pack for PvP and indeed please lower the price. The HoT is HEAVILY PVE oriented and I am sure you see that asking for 50$ for this pack would be a bit overpriced. In conclusion, I will not buy HoT as it is, but I think that my suggestion is a win-win situation/solution. Have a nice day

Things that are of interest to PvP players are: Elite specializations, the Revenant and Mist Champions (for Stronghold). Some pvp guilds might enjoy guild halls, I don’t know. New skins and new runes/sigils/stats might also be HoT-only (the latter is unconfirmed though).

I agree that there should be an option to just buy a PvP pack which includes the elite specializations, the Revenant and mist champions. I don’t whether Anet will ever do that however. They did do something similar with GW1 though, so who knows?

If you’re not interested in the Revenant, enjoy the game mode your playing, you can continue to do so free of charge. If you find your game is being impacted negatively because of the specialisations (they’re too strong) or you like the look of them, you can buy the upgrade then.

you get a new class, and specializations+skins, the’re fun ive been having a lot of fun with reaper in pvp.
90% of my play is pvp
the thing is how often do you play pvp? how long would you be playing elite specs? how much would that be an hour over the course of a year or your playtime? like 1cent? imo thats pretty worth it to have stability on my necro :p
if not then just play without the specilisations and you’l have a bit more limited build choice, or you could wait a year till xpack costs like 20 or 30 dolars or somthing
