The price will of course get cheaper over time, however keep in mind that you will not be able to unlock the living story for free without HoT.
HoT has already been on sale quite a few times already from other official retailers. Just a few days ago for example, funstockdigital.co.uk had it for ~35% off, though it only lasted about a day. They still have it for 25% off actually, if you use the promo code OCT-COUPMAIL-PRE25.
50 bucks is nothing. I spend more in coffee in a month.
I really wish people would stop being so dismissive of another persons concept of ‘expensive’
Many people DONT spend £40 a month on Coffee because they are too busy making sure they can pay their energy bills on time…learn a little empathy
What if the game had a monthly subscription?
It has been about 270 days since the expansion was announced. If someone started saving at that point, they would only need to save about 19 cents a day.
It’s been about 127 days since they announced the price. You would only need to save about 40 cents per day.

Your fallacious comments don’t have anything to do with me calling out someone behaving in a condescending way….many many reasons for not saving their19c a day for example wanting to se if the content is what they really want because they are – poor??
Actually scrap that – if you are on here trying to defend someones bad behaviour with Maths you obviously don’t get it.

I’m not defending bad behavior. What I am doing is arguing against how it is so expensive that the impact of the price for someone who is strapped for cash couldn’t save money over time. There’s also no harm in saving money each day. If they chose not to buy the expansion, they could’ve used the money on something else.
If I buy from this EU site will I be able to apply the code to my NA account. And will there be a delay on the transaction? (I’ve never purchased anything from EU vendors)

Well I don’t think it’s worth the price and that’s my opinion so you can believe whatever you want. I won’t be buying my 4 copies until the price is lower.

I was not saying anywhere that it is or isn’t worth the price. What I am specifically saying is that it was entirely possible to have saved small amounts of money since the announcement and been able to afford the game.
No. You may have to wait until December but most likely next year.
Its already on sale for up to 36.00 us.
Shop on google.
And no a site that has been legitamate for years isnt going to suddenly become shady just for one game.
May get lower later though.
If only anet offered prices people would get at first sight. Oh well!

I’m referring to directly from Anet obviously. I’m not going to price check every online site and whether they’re legitimate or not.

If I buy from this EU site will I be able to apply the code to my NA account. And will there be a delay on the transaction? (I’ve never purchased anything from EU vendors)
I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to yeah, I don’t see why not. It’d probably be best to check first, though…
I know right, HOT will end up costing a full half of what i pay for internet every month! So expensive! Though I guess people who live in a magical land where high speed internet is under $10 per month wouldnt agree….
Also, to reiterate what others said, its very unlikely anet will sell it themselves on sale til at least next summer if not next fall for the 1 yr anniversary (I dont remember any official sales on the base game before at least a year passed, but i could be wrong). You can find it cheaper somewhere else but make sure its a legit site, if its some shady gold selling site the odds of getting scammed arent worth saving 20 bucks.

Computer gaming is an expensive hobby… It is safe to assume that people here are relatively well off. Not everyone can afford to go $50 over budget out of the blue though, just because you are well off doesn’t mean you have a lot of expendable money, however we’ve known about this game for a while now and there is such a thing as saving up. A know many people who set aside money each paycheck so that they could buy the game. I preordered a long time ago because I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford it now.

But hey. It’s your money. If you feel getting the cheaper price is worth the risk then go for it.
Lol i wasnt talking about that one. I said legitimate for years.
Scaring people by talking of boogeymen. You realize some of these companies have been retailing games longer than gw2 existed right?
Then name one rather than make a blanket statement to check google shopping.
This is what I saw when doing the search you recommended. Only one came up for the price you mentioned or rather close to it.
They ll lock the thread if i link a sale. Its happened in the past
Its close to that price maybe 37 or so
In the same family
I was just asking for the name of the company. I don’t think it’s against ToS to list only the name and especially since I’ve seen people name off Steam, GameStop, etc.
It’s really up to you if you want to or not. There’s nothing that either of us can gain by continuing this anyway.
The price will of course get cheaper over time, however keep in mind that you will not be able to unlock the living story for free without HoT.
Has this been confirmed?
I’ve been posting off and on since HoT was announced asking about this, but have never seen an official response.
At the moment, my plan is to wait until HoT comes down to a price that matches the value I think I’ll get from it, but if that means I’ll have to retroactively pay to get access to all LS chapters released after tomorrow, I’m done with GW2.
I’m okay with logging in to my vanilla account during each LS update in the future to make sure they will be there when I finally get HoT.

I agree some people are dismissive but GW2 is still the best value for money on entertainment I think. As a student I have not bought any other games or such extravagances over the last few years while having good access to entertainment.
HoT was announced over 10 months ago, I started saving a few pounds a week and then bought my basic copy during the summer, the price really isn’t an issue even for cash strapped unless you didn’t notice for the last 10 months it was on its way.
Any official 3rd party retailer selling discounted US digital copy? I found one that’s $36, but it applies only to the EU box unless it can work on a US account…
I bought the expansion to support the game and also to experience whatever content was put forth. I could buy gems, but the expansion to me is another step in the direction the game will advance forth to, so I want to be there for better or for worse. While the game is not perfect, it definitely has provided sufficient value over time. Personally, I think even if the game is “alright” it would be worth it. It’s a bit more than “alright” though.
There is no doubt I could probably save a few bucks buying somewhere down the road but it’s not going to be the same. This is why I didn’t mind the base game being f2p. The experiences aren’t the same if I have them 3 years later than I did.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Three of the four do not offer discounts. The other’s web page would not load for me. You can try from other companies online but be aware that you run the risk of getting scammed. Do your research before hand to determine if they’re credible.

Thanks, seems like I missed the sales some people have mentioned; they only did them for a limited time.
