June 30th preorder?
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???
Will everyone please stop jumping to conclusions based on inaccurate information?!? This topic has been covered in so many other threads. At least TRY to search for it before firing off another thread.

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
No, not an accurate date or cost. I wish people would stop posting that link all over the place (or that it was removed from the German amazon).
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.

Here is the funny thing I have the right to complain all I want about a game. Just like you have the right not to read or care what i say. Im not saying I wont get it im saying its just a month worth of patches In one day for 50.00 but of course you will show how smart you are and say something back. lol

Pretty much this!

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.

Arenanet hasn’t announced a price yet. The price listed on Amazon and other retailers is a guess and not official. Come on people.

Kinda funny that the post above pointed this out aswell and is a anet employe

That’s right, but Anet answered just something about the date release, nothing about price…
So we just have to buy Heart of Thorns at that price, sadly

If anet havent released any info on date or price both would be placeholders estimated guesses and high ones to.
since if they said 15 bucks and it cost 20 people would blow a fuse.
@Spartacus You serious? Just because the red post didn’t specifically say anything about the price that means it’s set in stone at $50? Come on man. Until there’s an official announcement with both PRICE and release date, take these 3rd party websites listings with a huge grain of salt. They are placeholders. Nothing more nothing less.
50$ lol good luck with bringing ppl who already left the game.
Never trust AMAZON for release info I remember waiting for a zelda game and it came out a whole year after amazons prediction date. Also the price is not canon so don’t start waving your arms in frustration over it. They Guestimate so much on retail sites and tbh whatever the price I don’t care I will still buy it because.. Well.. Revenant :p
so any dates you see listed by retailers are just their placeholders, guesses on their part.
This is very good to know, but also please report to your higher ups how completely unacceptable a 50$/45€ price tag would be.

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.
Do you honestly believe they would charge that much? Seriously? People are born with brains but it seems like precious few use them.
And YOU should stop being so naive, of course they would if they believe they could get away with it!
I´m giving CLEAR feedback that they cannot get away with it if they want my money.
You should do this too, instead of aimlessly lashing out at other people.

$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.
$50 bucks is a reasonable price considering all the extra in game content we get.

And that have been what this last 1/3 of a year?
I am planning on buying directly from ANET. I do not see a point of a middle-man like Amazon, for example, being needed. And, I want more buttons to mash on.
Jeezus. $50 USD!? Is this a stand-alone game or an expansion??? I was expecting $30, 40 tops…
I would buy it even if it was $60 or even more !
Here you are flabbergasting about the price of an expansion for a mmo game that has NO SUB when the unnamed devil of mmo’s charges you $60 plus THE SUB and no one ever complains !!!
That to me is more outrageous than any price a.net could place on their expansion.
HATE: Jumping puzzles.
DESPISE: TIME GATES, RNG & THE TRINITY !
It’s FAR easier to refund money on preorders that people over pay for than it is to require every preorderer to pay more money.
Hello all,
It seems we will be able to pre-order HoT in 9 days..:)
Great news.
Enjoy.

The date is a guess. The price is a guess.
The stores do this with each game, hoping to get the $$$$.
ANet may give it to you.
It is coming from data mining if I recall correctly
How did 30th June magically become 9 days from now when we are in the late mid May?
$45, a lot of people not going to be happy…
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.

Even on the image linked it clearly states that the release date is provisional, and will be updated once the actual release date is announced.
We (and everyone else, including retailers) will know when ArenaNet officially announces the release date.
Please please read the other threads about this issue.
ty and good morning
RIP City of Heroes
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.

I’ll buy it off ANet, when it’s ready and it’ll be cheaper than Amazing-iDiOT-con.

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
(Yes..the sarcasm is strong in this one )

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.
How did 30th June magically become 9 days from now when we are in the late mid May?
Medications that we common people don’t have access to is my guess.
I might join in on Price Wars: anything over 55 Aussie cash bucks will feel a tad expensive to me.
Would you like some hard cheeze with your sad whine?
Whatever price they put on expansion I hope that they will put discount 50% or 80% Like they are doing with original game… So the poor people can buy it and play it..

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.

I’m sure they will do that . . . in two years or whenever they start prepping for the next expansion.
