Guild Wars 2

will there be separated ranks for inviting people and kicking people?
that would be awesome
because there are a lot of people i trust in inviting people . but don’t have the right judgement if something bad happens to kick someone . so please separate if possible

if not please tell us why!!

Thanks Arenanet, I’m happy, I understand both arguments but sso many people don’t. CORE GAME IS FREE FOR THOSE WHO DONT ALREADY HAVE IT!!!

And what about for those people who do already have it? That’s $50 + $50 = $100 lost.
As opposed to a latecomer only paying $50 for the same products.
Is your reading comprehension that poor?

Good for you, still have nothing to do with the challange

Well the challenge has little to nothing to do with the way the expansion pricing works. But if you are referring to the expansion, and whether or not I have the same benefit as someone who buys the expansion and gets the game free, then I say no I do not get the same benefits, I benefit more. I get all the experiences I’ve had in this game up to this date and they won’t get to experience many of those things.

How so? Living World Season 1 rewards are available to everyone now, and Anet has even said that they want to add Season 1 to the journal at some point. Season 2 is obtainable with gems/gold as well. Other than that, they’re getting the exact same content as you (core game), only they won’t have to pay for it.

I mean, what about me? I bought the game and went on a hiatus after playing for a while, missing out on the entirety of season 1 and coming back as it ended. So by your logic I payed for no special experience, and I also have to buy HoT as well.

You were the second post in the thread. There was nobody to point it at EXCEPT the OP.

lol Death by Logic! +1

You were the second post in the thread. There was nobody to point it at EXCEPT the OP.

If the bundling, pricing, and information were fair, would the community be so upset?

That’s a rhetorical question. The answer is obviously no. Given the huge negative response, you can be sure that there are several things wrong with the HoT pre-order options. And it’s not just the marketing.

Fanboy-level devotion is really sort of disgusting. Stop telling people to stop complaining—you have neither the right nor the power.

Edit: to be clear, I don’t like to pre-order games. I occasionally consider it, but honestly, I know it’s always a ripoff. My issue with HoT pre-order options are threefold. I won’t put them here, since there is obviously a lot of discussion in the megathreads about reasons. I’m just speaking the simple truth here that just because you are a devoted white knight of ArenaNet, that doesn’t mean you get to tell agitated consumers to “shut up.”

Haven’t seen this level of fanboying since swtor pre launch era and ff14 original version first launched. Always thought gw2 community was better than this but we’re just human right?

Happy. We’re actually in playing the game and happy – the others are just the vocal minority.

The true minority are the people spending $100s blindly at an xpac thats hardly had any information released

the vast majority of players still don’t have a good idea of what they are purchasing for 50€. That’s quite a lot of money to throw blindly at the screen and we still don’t know how many maps will be in HoT, we don’t have a clue about how much content there is: will there be new dungeons? Or raids? What’s the “challenging content” they are talking about since January? They revealed only 3 of the Elite specializations and about half of the Revenant. We got a few info on Guild Halls but it’s a very blurry picture since we don’t know many details… all in all, ANet failure is – again – in communicating to their customers…but alas, anet has OP and the ppl in this thread that will continue to throw money at them happily without justification.

Will HoT be worth $50? Maybe.Maybe Not.

Just know that the majority of the player base is not going to blindly drop 50-100 bucks on a game they know little about still.

Anets plan has been questionable at best with their edition choices….

is it true that buying the least expensive option means we will NOT get a new character slot if we buy the $50 version? Why would you put out an expansion, with a new character class, and make us still pay for an extra slot? that’s a fair way to treat veteran players that are being forced to buy the core game AGAIN for no logical reason…

Give it a while, regret will sink in shortly.

Since we’re trying to state facts, don’t forget that about 70% of the ‘content’ in the past 3 years = weeks of grinding for new skin/title/clutter.

SleepingDragon.1596:

You probably did not know this… But every expansion from the original Guild Wars provides added character slots for existing players. Guild Wars 2 is when that tradition break…

Now to be totally off topic. Can I buy this game for $50 RMB? I think I won’t be upset after that.

Every expansion in gw1 also added another tab to your bank, don’t forget that~

You can’t buy LS 1 at all. New players are just out that content.

MassDelusion.9130:

For those that haven’t figured it out, and are asking for compensation because they’re going to “pay $10” for what they already have.

Prices of old games drop. And ANet has decided to drop the price of the base game down to nothing.

so 50 bucks for JUST an expansion? that’s worse than saying it was 50 for the expac + game

the expansion is set to have nowhere near the amount of content of the base game, yet they want to charge the same price?

yeah they are updating a lot of stuff in the core game, but that is stuff that should be done for the price of buying the game the first time, or funded through gem store purchases

the expansion for gw1 which added 3 new regions instead of just 1? only 20.00

I could have accepted 30-40 bucks, i would’ve accepted 50 if we got a chr slot for the revenant, but 50 on it’s own is a slap in the face

The issue here is though you can spend $50 and get 5 character slots and an empty bank (and honestly just transfer all your non-account bound stuff to the new one), or you can spend $50 and get to use your current characters and stuff.

Adding 2 char slots and 2 bank tabs if you owned the game would have been a nice “Thank’s for playing.” Then:

1)people who didn’t own this game could have bought this expansion for the $50, getting the original and the expansion (getting the new account).

2)People Who owned the game would have thought they were getting something for already having played (still for $50) and staying loyal

3) They could still have the special edition pricing tiers with the additional stuff offered

The problem is they basically told the veteran players “we’re going to charge you the same for less”

Just putting this on the table:

What if they take a step back and say, “Ok, if you already own the base game, we lop $10/13/25 off.”? Thoughts?

(Basic/Deluxe/Ultimate)

I’ll buy it in any store!
