Guild Wars 2

Edited: My apologies! I thought that the Nika / Grymm heroes were from gem-store, they are from the Pre-Purcahse. Still, the same concept applies as it’s about players having an actual competitive edge in PvP. PvP should be about skill, not about which heroes you have unlocked, no?

A dev has already said they aren’t planning on selling them through the gem store.

I wouldn’t mind if they did, as long as they weren’t hugely more powerful than the default ones.

Why are you complaining about something that you made up completely?

Sorry guys – edited! I thought those two heroes were from gem store, they are from the prepurchase? Are they planned to be available to everyone after HoT release?

At the moment, the plan is for Svaard to be available to everyone as a reward from a PvP reward track, while Nika will remain exclusive to people who purchase Heart of Thorns.

Bear in mind, people who buy Heart of Thorns will also have access to Elite Specializations that people who don’t will be unable to use, and those are likely going to affect the game much more than the Mist Champions. Turai is pretty good as a baseline option!

Good point about elite specializations, XIahou and thanks for the explination, Must have missed the blog post that went over those details.
