Soooo am I ever going to get anything in return for paying full retail for the first game?

All of the new players purchasing the expansion get everything I’ve paid for for free. When I pay for the expansion I will have effectively paid double for the content they get, does this seem/sound fair?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yes, 3+ years of enjoyment, access to content that will never return, access to prices and exchange rates that will never return, and the satisfaction and pride of being a long-term vet!

You’re welcome. =)

That’s a fair way to look at it. I guess the bother was the sensation that they turned the expansion into a money grab from the long time fans. I guess I’ll wait for another sale, I still don’t think the expansion is worth retail… not like the original was. And I bought all expansions for the original without complaints >.>

How much time did you put into the game between buying retail and it going f2p?

Roughly $120, between the pre-order and some purchases… but the exact figure shouldn’t matter should it?

I said “time”, not money. Playing the game, not work hours towards paying for it.

Enough time to make 4 level 80’s, farm a couple pre-cursors, get fully equipped for fractals… Hour wise I don’t know and I don’t really want to guess… But Since Guild Wars 1 I can guarantee it’s been over 2000 Hrs (1+2)

Can someone please look into this…

Bumping for justice.

I really want to buy things for my character but I feel so compelled to not because of this issue! And the issue doesn’t even scale, I thought it would with the character height but no… I bought a makeover kit to make my character max height in hopes that things would change but no…

A human at minimum height is the same size as an Asura at max height YET THE WEAPONS ARE HALF THE SIZE!! FIX IT!!

They should be the exact same size as human weapons in all cases. to fix clipping on the back raise them up higher, it isn’t hard.

Hello,

I found a solution that worked for me and felt I should probably share it as it might help some of you. Just like most of the stories here I have no problems with heat as my cards usually run over 70 with most games that are graphically intense and with guild wars barely hit the 60 mark…. But I was getting black screens and hard freezes. After some discussion with my friend and trouble shooting we have found that this game suffers the same fate as others we have encountered, over-allocation of graphical resources.

What I did to fix my problem was simple. Turn on Vertical Sync.

Doing this lowered my graphic card temperatures to below 60 (Which honestly shouldn’t have made a difference), lowered the usage on BOTH cards (I am in SLI) from 80-90% to around 60 while playing GW…. and I haven’t had a black screen for quite a little while, I have played uninterrupted for 7 hours straight in full screen.

If this doesn’t work for you my second option for you would be to run the game in windowed mode, this was my first solution and when it did decide to black screen while I was in windowed mode it came back seconds later telling me NVidia display adapter has stopped responding and been restarted but it did not hard freeze my computer (This was before I tried vertical sync).

Hope this helps. Good luck.
