It’s a placeholder, not based on accurate info to entice early preorders. A well known trick. Whilst August/Sept was always the most likely of the speculated dates, when Anet publish it on their site, then we will know for sure.

Also, this thread exists across a couple of subforums, here is one already made https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/I-THINK-I-found-the-release-date-for-HoT/first#post5076576

As of right now looks like 50.00 for it… really not much map added plus 1 class so we are paying for a living story patch???

Content being added:

Masteries – this will expand old and new game play such as legendary crafting, fractals, general exploring. The value from this alone should be tremendous.

Specializations – this will bring a fresh game play to all the profs allowing for some new goals as far as gearing out new builds and experiencing old/new content with the new builds.

New Proff – The Rev!

New Zone – while we still dont know much about the new zone if it has repetitive gameplay like Silverwaste but on a grander scale that would be amazing and add countless hours of value. (A new dungeon would be awesome tho)

Stronghold – PvP MENG!

New Borderlands – very cool looking new map for WvW fun

New Armor/Weaps – confirmed new legendary’s and most likely new ascended armor/weaps to farm.

Collections/APs – most certainty new collections and achievements will be added.

The above is probably not an exhaustive list of content being added. Also once HoT goes live it would not be surprising if they continued to open the map more frequently like they did with Drytop/Silverwaste.

For my money that’s amazing value being added. Just wish it would come sooner!

if that is best for your money then that’s great for you…. But they have 1 new zone not so much for me value….new armor n weaps skins we get that almost every Tuesday on the market because that’s what we are getting is new skins. Borderland we be given to everyone with or without the game and the same goes for new pvp.
so great for your value not so much great for mine but its what i think

If it’s not worth it to you, don’t buy it. Of course, you also give up your right to complain that you can’t play the content either or any limitations you might have in the future as well. I’m sure Anet will make it available at a discounted rate as a package with another account a year or so after the release.

No one said you didn’t but then again you don’t know how many months worth of patches it is; you pretty much ignored everything you weren’t interested in then proclaimed it wasn’t enough content. I’m smart enough to know the expansion is more than a map and a class and that we are paying for more than a LS patch.

If anet havent released any info on date or price both would be placeholders estimated guesses and high ones to.

Not just the red post, also the Amazon post doesn’t mention a price variation, just a date variation, and as you can see is an official NC Soft product…
If it’s a fake it surely will be removed, but honestly even if i like the game and i will certainly buy this expansion, it’s sad to pay 40-45 € for an expansion pack… the complete game was sold at 55€, and has surely most content than HoT

So many gullible people in this thread. Do you honestly believe they would charge that much? Seriously? People are born with brains but it seems like precious few use them. Amazon is putting down random numbers for the date and expansion price to get preorders. They will adjust the numbers when Anet officially announces them.

$50 for an expansion isn’t that much. Especially considering GW2 has been on sale like 20 times just this year. If they keep putting GW2 on sale then charge $15 for HoT, do you honestly think they will make much profit? It’s a company, you’re getting thousands of hours of content, stop being so cheap. They have to make money if you want the game to continue receiving updates. If you can’t afford the expansion, maybe you should be worrying about finding a better job.

They make profit from microtransactions from black lion TP. Gw2 was on sale few times because they want to attract new players to this game but NPE is bad unfortunately and if expansion cost too much they will lose customers.

Why not? The game was released as B2P, we should have had the 3th expansion coming up by now (for about $45).

The only people who would not be happen are those that started to see GW2 as a F2P game, what you can’t blame them for because GW2 did indeed started to be more of a F2P game in all aspects (including the negative ones).

However, it’s still a B2P on paper and who knows might become a true B2P after HoT again, one can only hope.

Anet hasn’t announced a date or a price yet. Amazon put both as a place holder. They may even attract a loser or two who will pay them, then when the actual price is announced, they will refund the difference. It’s infinitely easier that way, instead of putting a lower price and potentially having to ask the buyers to pay more.

Use your brain.

If you want to complain about a game without it being released, go ahead, use your right..it does however looks rather prejudiced and holds no ground whatsoever.

I think I am going to abuse my right too and complain about Guild Wars 5 which is about to be released in 2038… XD

Well yes but those are REAL expansions, not LS bundles. Will this expansion include:

- hundreds of new recipes and a new crafting profession?
- 12-16 brand new dungeons
-3-4 Raids
-10-12 new zones
-1 new class
-2 new races
-2-3 new PvP maps/modes
- New game modes
-20+ new armor/weapon sets

Plus the Sub gets you 3-4 major game updates per year. Equivalent to multiple “feature” patches that Anet puts out.

If they include that much content in the expansion then I will gladly pay the equivalent price. If they only include the pittance of content currently revealed then I will only pay a pittance of the price.

Are you serious? This game has been out for years. Poor people only had to pay the box price and that was discounted multiple times over the years. Asking for more is just begging. They have warned of the expansion months in advance. Unless you are at the poverty line and should be spending money elsewhere, there is no excuse that you can’t save up for an expansion.
