Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the info Do the Hero points in HoT give you more than one point?

Just wondering if there are enough hero points in the game to fully unlock a class including the elite specialization. I have completed the base map and I have no where near enough points to unlock the elite spec (note that I have all the other specs fully unlocked).

Wow, this changes even more how I feel about this. Thanks for pointing out that vanilla is no longer available. Pls anet, lets us trust you again by giving us an upgrade cost.

Definitely not prepurchasing. I just hope our voice is heard and the price goes down by launch for people who already have the base game, or we get some little bonus for having the base game already.

It could be that they offer different deals in the future. This month might be free core game (to target new players), next month might be extra character slots or something (for vets). Frankly, I don’t see any reason to pre-purchase right now. Even if you think the price is fair, you’re safe to wait until the beta weekend.

That would be cool, but then you have issues with people having beef over what deal they got not being as worth as another persons (like the current issue).

I don’t prepurchase games any way, and I definitely wouldn’t prepurchase this on principle because ANet has kept so much basic info under wraps that I don’t even believe the whole expansion is ready for Alpha testing yet let alone Beta; doesn’t it raise some red flags that the game’s available for prepurchase but you don’t know how many maps you’re getting, or a release date, almost makes this feel like a Kickstarter campaign.

Definitely not prepurchasing. I just hope our voice is heard and the price goes down by launch for people who already have the base game, or we get some little bonus for having the base game already.

I will fully support your effort – from inside the new zones . Catch up when you’re able.

Ill see you some day in the jungle my friend.

Stay strong my friends! We will wait for the beautiful price drop.

Oh my, so let me get this straight. If i buy a car from the year 2000, it should cost me (according to these people) the same amount of money as a car made in 2015?

I hope these guys are right, maybe i will get 60-70k$ for my kittenty pos volvo v40 year 1998!
HUUURAY!

No no no, to make the examples the same ill fix it.

You bought a car in 2000 for a price. Another guy buys the 2015 car for the same price but gets the car you bought as well no extra charge. If you want to new 2015 car, you have to pay the price again. So he gets two cars for the price you paid for one, and you get two cars for double the price.

I’m fine with a higher price for good content. I’m not ok with the fact that rebuying base game is factored into that price.

It isn’t.
The price for the expansion is $50. The base game is added in for free to people that don’t have it.

There better be a butt ton of content then.

Akhili.2180:

How about you just don’t buy the expansion?

Do you need to make it public to make an impact?

If this is truly how most of the gaming population felt, then they would do it regardless of you or other people. Christ I feel like everyone goes into riot mode when something doesn’t go quite their way.

In the end, you’re going to buy it. However much time you waste is up to you. Time is money, and you’d be a fool to waste 3 months to purchase HOT at a $35 price tag.

Good luck on your future endeavors.

How would I be a fool to wait? That would save me real world money.

Lets just not buy the expansion until they reduce the price for people who already have the base game. Then all their precious events in the jungle will never succeed since no one will be there.

It sucks cuz I got friends to buy the game when it went on sale so they could play with me, and now they’ll just be buying it again… I have hurt their game experience by helping them get what was previously “a great deal” but is not just bs.

Confirmed. ArenaNet hates the current player base and wants to make sure that only new players have a nice time getting to play the expansion while completely shafting everyone who has supported this game for the past years. Talk about loyalty issues. Common ArenaNet, I already own the game. Why do I have to buy it again just to unlock some new content? Does that make any sense to anyone? Am I missing something other than greed? I loved this company for all the free updates, but this is just dumb. Soon they’ll make you buy the whole game again for every monthly update X)

Hopefully they make it so we can upgrade, cuz there is no way I am paying for the base game again. I already bought that, don’t need to do it again.
