Guild Wars 2

Right now, the revenant has a heal, bunker and condi legend.. No strict dps one yet. At least, that we’ve been able to test. It’s to be expected that dps wouldn’t be up to other dps chars. I do agree it’s low, even for those builds, but until a dps legend is released it’s going to be hard to know exactly where it stands on straight up dps.

You can buy guild wars 2 at other stores. Such as amazon. They aren’t offering it in website other than as a free bonus but if you just want core game its available. Amazon lists ncsoft as seller.

Most stores don’t warn you of a sale. I just get a flyer in the Sunday paper, same day it starts. They did say they’d help people out who just bought it.

You still need the base game to play. That didn’t change. They are just giving it free if you prepurchase.

They did this for guild wars 2, why are people shocked they are doing it for expansion?

I can’t make a list of what HoT offers. No one can yet. They haven’t released all the details yet. They haven’t even released info on half the new specializations. People seem confused on maps. They said the maps would have 3 layers. They never said we only get 1 map with those 3 layers. Again. We don’t know.

I’m not saying everyone should go out and buy expansion if you don’t think it’s for you. But I do think people are overreacting about the price point.

I do realize the value per hour is for gw2 not future time spent. But you should be able to figure out bases on current age how mch you still like the game and that’ll give you a clue as to how much you’ll like future stuff. Did you like living story? More of that to come. Do you want to try specializations? Need expansion. If you’re happy in your current char, only wvw… Expansion might not be a good value to you. But then… No matter what they did you wouldn’t want it.

I remember people making these same type of posts before the game launched.

It’s too expensive.. How can you know the game is good if you prepurchase? If it’s worth the value?

Only you can decide that. But you have to buy most games before you know the true value. How much you’ll enjoy it. This game / expansion is no different. I do understand about budgets. As a parent, I’m on one too. But they gave a lot of warning expansion was coming. I stopped buying snacks put money up to save. I just don’t get the sticker shock people are reacting with in here.

As for the free core game, most games after being out for so long go to bargain bin. This is the same. You guys are looking at it as punishment but look at everything you’ve gotten by playing up to this point.

The price isn’t bad for the entertainment value. You should log in game. Type /age. Take what you paid for the game and divide it by that number. I paid $59.99 for the game and have gotten over 2000 hours of play. $.03 an hour. Seems cheap to me.

How is this different from last season? I’m not seeing a difference.
