Now that we’ve been officially screwed over, I’m glad I can confirm all of my suspicions about HoT being a terrible release with the elite specializations. Hope I get my $50 back. Anyone else do this and have any luck, or are we screwed out of cash?
“We’ve been officially screwed over” makes it sound like a lot of people, any source to back that up?
If not, I’ll pull data from the same place you did and say
“We’ve just witnessed one of the best MMO exp. launch day ever and the content’s amazing, a lot of ppl say it, take my word for it”
If Legend of Zelda came out tomorrow, the usual
forum dwellers would go nuts about the need to
“grind” to get exp, new swords, new potions etc
So far, I got everything that I payed for and more, so not sure why I need a refund. I mean I did my research, and a little gambling, but Anet gave me what I payed for. Did you not receive something you should have, is that why your making no sense in your topic?
We’re you not expecting to get a new elite spec for every class? That’s all I can assume since you consider this a “terrible release with the elite specializations.”

Eh, he’s probably mad about the skill points it takes, admit, I’m a bit peeved too….then I remembered that this is the first time in a while I’ve actually wanted to look through and do content. Albeit, yes, it is ridiculous how many it takes if you have MULTIPlE professions.
A knight in shining armor is a man who never had his metal truly tested.
What? New content would never cause people to leave, I have it on good authority.

There is absolutely no evidence to support that it would.” -AnthonyOrdon
No, I’m asking if anyone’s had luck getting their money back, not to complain about the expansion, yet people are disputing whether or not “people are getting screwed over” despite the fact that yes a very sizable number of people seem to agree with this notion.
So if you do not agree with me and don’t have an answer, the door is over there to the thread to leave. I respect your opinions that you like the content, and that’s fine. I do not believe I received my $50 worth by the blatant denial of elite specializations on the limited play time I have.
Wish I could get back the £79.99 I dropped on the expansion. Would be nice to know if you’re able to get a refund since the expansion has been released.
Game has over 7m active accounts according to the infographic they revealed yesterday.
That forum topic has 1.9k posts, out of which a large portion talk about how good the hero point adcquisition method is.
For the sake of your argument let’s assume that all 1.9k posts are people saying they got a refund.
7 million accounts in gw2 (3m+ sales before f2p went live) – 1.9k refunded, how is this a large portion of the playerbase?
I’ll ask again, proof?

yeppers, I posted multiple times in there about how it’s beneficial, you don’t just want the character auto completed as soon as you start the game, there needs to be progression
Honestly the only reason people are kittened about the specializations is because there was such a long time before this was implemented where the only thing you could do was create more classes. Now, where further specialization is available for existing classes, they now want to have these on every class, hence, loads of hours to unlock.
But here’s the thing: you’re basically remaking half a class. Instead leveling a new character, you’re leveling this one. Just like when you were leveling each and every one of the level 80s.
So you can complain all you want, but the fact you have several level 80’s just shows how much of a hypocrite you are being hence invalidating your argument.
lvl80 Guardian lvl80 Ranger lvl80 Elementalist lvl80 Thief …. Why do I list these anymore?

There are several things I don’t like, but I’m still very happy with my purchase. I wouldn’t give the expansion back if they refunded me 2 times more than I paid. Not saying it’s worth that much(it’s not.), I am just happy I get to play it and don’t regret my purchase one bit.
The grind for masteries and profession points is making any Korean MMO blush. The fact that you need million experience points to level up your masteries further is against Anet’s own manifesto. 16k exp per events, 2 million exp to next level, really?

This +1.
Spent most of the day on masteries, managed to unlock 4 abilities, and this is just for the personal story ( I had one extra for gliding ).
I thought I was playing and getting exp at the same time to unlock the Masteries, not grinding. I wasn’t expecting to log in and have the Masteries already done. I knew that I would be playing the game like I always do and getting Masteries progressed at the same time.
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

The “advocates” are pvers that do the open world content anyway. You are ignoring the fact that this screws over players of all sorts of different niches than your “wow I wandered around and killed some mobs to get my spec, this feels like progression” nonsense. The elite specs should be baseline, they are not all worth the pve grind to get. Period. But nonetheless they should be attainable without suffering through crap that you don’t want to do.
Anet has now taught me this, If i had a delorean i wouldzip back to last month, punch myself in the face and steal the credit card i was about to use to pre-purchase this grindfest with and buy beer instead
this is why I dont pre-purchase, since its playable even without HoT, I rather stick with it. I mean why break my heart by pre-purchasing the game, now twice the price as it is than before for a content yet to be balance and yet there are bugs to be fix.
Ummm not sure what you are talking about OP… I’m in game right now and can confirm that I am indeed having fun. So far the first zone feels huge, loving the adventures, the story, the new action camera. Worth it in my book.
This game has become an ungodly grindfest from hell. I have 8 toons. I was going to make a revanent, but forget about that it will be hard enough to grind just one toon to full mastery and specializations. I don’t even know how to earn the experience for the masteries as I have yet to see an explanation in plain English anywhere. Obviously I can run around in the new maps for Maguuma masteries but do you have to grind PVE events in Tyria to get the Tyria masteries? I have 26 Tyria mastery points but now have to grind experience to use them? HTF does this work?

you need to do things that give exp in tyria.
events mostly. maybe the new map rewards give exp, i dunno
dungeon xp is nerfed, fractals never gave good exp before, not sure now.
