price drop?
If you mean the Ultimate edition of Heart of Thorns, it’s possible. Though, considering the 4,000 Gems it includes, probably not by much, if at all.
Only time will tell.
Maybe though I doubt it.
The more realistic scenario is as follows:
- the Ultimate edition of HoT turns into the new Ultimate edition for PoF (the next expansion)
- HoT might be made available to free to play accounts (or bundled into the next expansion, even more of a reason to keep the price high)
- either way, financially it makes no sense to buy HoT now if it comes bundled with PoF. That is if money was a concern so far.
As Inculpatus cedo said, the gems in the collection alone make it unlikely to see huge financial benefits here. If you are thinking of buying HoT now I’d probably wait until the announcement on tuesday. If you weren’t encouraged to buy it the last 2 years, I doubt a couple of days or months will make a difference.
The real scenario is that HoT already received a price drop (which does not affect Utimate Edition), and that’s all it will get. Once the next expac is in, there will be a new Ultimate edition, and all the HoT ones will be obsoleted anyway. You will have only options of either buying new expac editions, or get Core F2P. Anet will not be offering HoT at any price anymore, whether reduced or not.
Remember, remember, 15th of November
