HoT Price Feedback + Base game included [merged]

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Halvaard.1034

Halvaard.1034

Wow, still the same arguments, well I’ll admit I skimmed after my last posts.

Here’s some easy feedback:
I would totally buy HoT if I could buy it with Gems, because I could, in theory, save up gold, convert to gems and give myself a “discount”.
I’d probably end up buying 50% of the gems with cash, and trading gold for the rest.

This would work because it really doesn’t matter who buys the gems, gems are money Anet and NCsoft already have.

Help!!

I’m not going to bother to address the rest until you do some actual research into what the expansion contains. You know, the kind of research that shows you actually know what you’re talking about. We’re getting more than a single map.

If you are correct I’ll happily buy it, so reveal your sources oh container of facts!

But this is not the case. This isn’t a full continent with all the aforementioned features and additions to the game like in Guild Wars 1. This is the cost of the base game for a single class and a single map (so far).

So I believe what the OP is asking for is “What is making this worth the $50?”.

This is also an issue, the value just isn’t there yet.
If there’s more to come I’d gladly pre-purchase but as it stands I’ll wait, for more info or a sale.

It just irks me that new players are getting in for $50, and I’ll effectively be paying $100.

I bought my game at launch, I get no refund.
My investment is $50 base game, plus gem shop items.
My friends all got their base games summer 2014, on sale, they get no refunds either.

I understand that games like this have operating costs, but I’m still not convinced an expansion warrants another $49.99 out of me.

New Players get everything for $50, so I still think veterans deserve a slight discount.

As someone who has played on and off since year 1 and buys things out of the cash shop on a semi regular basis, I do not feel that the current pricing scheme is appropriate.

There are plenty of people who do not need Base game serial codes, and yet HoT comes with it by default. I understand this is to make it easier for people to get into the game but it shouldn’t be that hard to separate them…..

I would be fine with HoT@ $39.99, why? Because the Base Game has gone on sale for $9.99 so many times it may as well be the default price now.

As it stands, my group of friends will likely be waiting for the inevitable sale that will occur 2-4 months down the road to pick up HoT. While we would like to play at launch, we’re not convinced that it’s worth the $49.99 price tag.

You actually MUST use ground targeting, and it acts slightly differently than normal, but it’s easy to adjust to.

Nobody was saying that this should be the only option, that would be silly.
It should be easy enough to toggle in the options if they put some time into it.

I love this mod.
I played with my right mouse button down perpetually anyway and remapped my A and D keys as strafes before this came to my attention. This makes movement so much more natural and ground targeting, while weird at first, becomes much easier for me.

Depending on the database size, that could be a huge change.
The problem isn’t the size increase per account, it would be the number of accounts and the time it will take to SAFELY and ACCURATELY convert each account to a new format.

Wierd Connection Speed Fluctuations

Halvaard.1034

Ok, so I’m downloading the Patch today and my Max DL speed some times gets up to 1.23 MB/sec, and some times it even stays that high for a couple of minutes…

Heres the odd part, some times it starts slowly dropping untill it hits like 0.2 KB/sec, it’s a gradual thing…

Seems kinda strange to me to me, unless the Patch Client is having trouble finding the next file to download or something…

Any ideas of things it could be on my end?
I disabled Naggling(sp?) awhile back, to reduce latency, could this be messing with the Patch Client?

It’s dissapointing that, since this in a lower traffic area, many players will never get to use this NPC. Especially since most other Renown Heart Vendors do not behave like this.

Tooltips not showing up on Trading Post

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Halvaard.1034

Halvaard.1034

I’ve been having this problem the last couple days.
Seemingly no matter when or where I access the Trading Post, be it in a town or in the Field, when I mouse over items I don’t see a tooltip comparing them to what I have equiped.

This is obviously problematic, as I can’t buy new armor or weapons.
My main is 77, but has been wearing the same armor since 65, and it’s starting to hurt my kill speed as I advance closer to Orr…

In a seemingly related vein, I’m also not able to use the Sell tab on the Trading post either, my items never show up and trying to sell from my inventory just gets me the same blank tab.

The Servers are on the West Coast of the United States, hence PST time.
In order to update the servers they need employees on location.
They aren’t going to ask their employees to come in late, they’re going to work normal hours.

The event lasts all week, each Stage is about THREE DAYS long.
GET OVER IT!

At least in downed you can do a little more damage, maybe fear an enemy once if you’re quick.

And to get the most effect, have their “people” watching for errors so they can squash the bugs as they re-occur.
